    chrisrn24 replied to kyliereed00's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    GrnTea, she could always make another account later. I don't think for this particular assignment it is a big deal, as long as she doesn't use the account later to vent about her job. And also, I...

    chrisrn24 replied to terina66's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. I really screwed up on an interview

    chrisrn24 replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What's the big deal? You didn't miss it, you showed up early. Why would they take it against you? Just say "sorry, I thought yesterday was the 16th" or whatever. I don't mean for that to come off...

  11. Too smart for my own good... :-/

    chrisrn24 replied to AndrewSRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also hate to say it, but it might because you're a man, the other nurses think you are trying to show them up by trying to appear smarter than them. They shouldn't shame you though. A good answer...

  14. Need advice! What kind of unit should I request for fall practicum?

    chrisrn24 replied to peachnurse22's topic in General Nursing

    I was interested in public health, so I did a jail practicum. So interesting! I would think med-surg would be good to be able to see many things, or the ER as well (but keep in mind you probably...

  15. Getting report- need advice for dealing with "Frantic Nurse."

    chrisrn24 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree. Unless this op is charge, I don't think she has the right to thrust a sheet at another nurse and say "use this!" If it doesn't work to talk to her, get the manager involved. You could...

    chrisrn24 replied to ekeeven's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  18. Getting report- need advice for dealing with "Frantic Nurse."

    chrisrn24 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    75 minutes for four patients? I take it she is recapping every minute of the shift. If it is that she is chatty, say "you can continue on quick, looks like I've got a lot to do today and I need to get...

    chrisrn24 replied to justchill's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it's good but again if its me, I would make it less formal. "I really like how the units are run together, putting an emphasis on teamwork." Again, you already sold yourself so now it's your...

  24. Sigh...the dreaded day...advice needed

    chrisrn24 replied to PinkPinkster's topic in Nursing Career

    chrisrn24 replied to evolvingrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are absolutely in the right. I will not allow a patient to be rude or disrespectful to me. I've had patients yell at me, tell me I'm stupid, and spit in my face and try to punch me. The first time...
