  1. My preceptor is everything they taught us NOT to be...

    flyersfan88 replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why don't you ask her why she does things the way she does instead of nit picking and tattle tailing? I'm sure you graduated from like, a totally awesome program, but you still don't know anything....

  4. MD to RN?

    flyersfan88 replied to jackshepard's topic in General Nursing

    The loans should scare you. With med school loans and nursing school loans, I find it hard to believe you'd be able to put a roof over your head while paying them back. I'm sure your background could...

  6. Nurses thrown under the bus

    flyersfan88 replied to GM1928's topic in General Nursing

    No one checked policy? We don't need orders for ours unless the team for whatever reason WOULDN'T want the dressing changed....which is pretty much never. Our policy is for them to be changed every 48...

  8. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    flyersfan88 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    You put your opinion out on a public forum....you don't have to ask outwardly for someone else's opinion in order to get it. We are humans, not compassion filled robots. How does that saying go? If...

    flyersfan88 replied to Raechel Frant's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Should I take the HUGE paycut to switch from ICU to a clinic?

    flyersfan88 replied to nirali.karsaliya's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not in a position to where I can choose a 9-5 over $$$$, so I'd go with the ICU job. But I think my quality of life is pretty great only working 3 days a week,

  11. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    flyersfan88 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    You missed the part where they made multiple posts targeting multiple majors. Stop

  12. Nurse considering law school

    flyersfan88 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    You are extremely disillusioned if you think job prospects are any better for new attorneys. Actually, it's probably worse considering law school is 2-3x the cost of many BSN programs. Please stop...

  13. Nurse considering law school

    flyersfan88 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    My brother is an attorney. He does well as an associate but honestly, not better than any nurse that has worked his/her way up the ranks and pay scale. He has a mountain of debt that he will literally...

  14. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    flyersfan88 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    flyersfan88 replied to Danielia95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do you

  16. Screaming match with my preceptor

    flyersfan88 replied to jherd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a phrase you may have heard before "two wrongs don't make a right." You're on the bottom of the totem pole. You must remain professional at all times, even in the face of someone screaming at...

  17. PICC line blood draw

    flyersfan88 replied to greyL's topic in General Nursing

    I didnt know that so I'll have to look into that!

  18. PICC line blood draw

    flyersfan88 replied to greyL's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to why your facility doesn't allow you to attach a vacutainer adapter to the port. When you say 'large needle' are you talking about a blunt needle? The only conceiveable thing I can...

  19. Is it ok to ask salary??

    flyersfan88 replied to Julissar04's topic in General Nursing

    I have yet to hear of any hospital/facility in which a new grad is able to negotiate

  20. Is it ok to ask salary??

    flyersfan88 replied to Julissar04's topic in General Nursing

    They should be telling you salary when they offer you a position. It's not typically interview conversation....unless they bring it up

  21. Patient Bathing...or Not.

    flyersfan88 replied to LobotRN's topic in General Nursing

    Competent patients get asked. If they don't want to....whatever. Our night and day CNAs divide who will get done at night/in the morning. Works pretty

  22. So fed up with my coworker

    flyersfan88 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really though....are you truly being honest with yourself if you think she has a ton of free time? There isn't anything to address....the most that can be done is ask her if she'd be willing to sign...

  23. So fed up with my coworker

    flyersfan88 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seriously. I have NEVER done favors for people who are so blatantly

  24. So fed up with my coworker

    flyersfan88 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is this for real? Are you her personal accountant on the side, too? I'm pretty sure you have no concept of how much of a job it is to raise 4 kids....let alone 4 under the age of 5. Cripes, I don't...

  25. So fed up with my coworker

    flyersfan88 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not her responsibility to cover a shift you don't want to work and she didn't sign up for. Having 4 kids under 5 is a perfectly good excuse to not work a shift youre not scheduled for, and so is...
