  2. Are nurses treated as terribly as people imply?

    guest64485 replied to kprince's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing has been the most love-hate job I've ever had, on both extremes. I love the concept of nursing, and being able to make a visible difference for patients on a daily basis. I feel the work I...

  3. Decided to go back to the corporate world....

    guest64485 replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a slippery slope; I encourage doing everything possible to not get into this situation. Have you applied for night shift positions

  5. Can I Work as a PCT in Illinois once I have my RN license

    guest64485 replied to kbobst81's topic in Illinois Nursing

    What I've heard is that once you are an RN, you are expected to act in that capacity should an emergency occur. This can conflict with a PCT guidelines of what they are restricted to do, therefore,...

  6. apply for job before nclex or wait?

    guest64485 replied to 09NewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    With the way the economy is, start applying today for jobs. Figure on a minimum of 4 weeks from when you apply to your start date (and that's being optimistic). Some new grads are having a very...

  7. Follow my heart or follow my dreams?

    guest64485 replied to dine saw's topic in General Nursing

    Just a couple of questions. So your dream is to go to this certain school, but not to become a nurse? If you will be graduating soon, able to sit for NCLEX, what will getting a BSN get you that you...

  8. What is your Nurse to Patient Ratio

    guest64485 replied to dRN1's topic in Medical-Surgical

  9. Opinions on scripting

    guest64485 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    I refuse to say "I have the time" because many times, I don't have the time to do non-urgent things right at that very moment. (I will ask if there is anything they need, and then do it or delegate...

  10. Negative Threads

    guest64485 replied to Seagate's topic in General Nursing

    I hope I am merely misreading your comment here. The main things that people complain about here are -Not always having time for basic necessities like a lunch break, and pressure to postpone...

  11. So after reading enough posts, I can't help but wonder..

    guest64485 replied to TheFuture2010's topic in General Nursing

    TheFuture2010, I think you need to do it because you will always wonder if you didn't. Most of us need to see for ourselves. Some people are lucky and not only find their niche in nursing but also...

  12. What would you do?

    guest64485 replied to StrwbryblndRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. I got fired today

    guest64485 replied to iwanna's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    iwanna, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. The doctor is at fault for allowing the patients to inject there own allergy shots without medical supervision. They should only be allowed to get...

  16. Don't know what I wanna be when I grow up

    guest64485 replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in General Nursing

    This is extremely worrying. If the job is doing all this to you you need to leave ASAP. Please, for your health and your safety... What about community health nursing? You can work with kids and...

  17. Patient Safety and the changing Economy

    guest64485 replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    This is against the law. See https://allnurses.com/nursing-news/lawsuits-filed-western-381836.html http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09091/959722-114.stm about a lawsuit filed for this very purpose....

  18. Overwhelmed, as usual

    guest64485 replied to garciadiego's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Things DO get missed. We just do the best we can with the resources we have, and hope the things that will be missed are minor. Some speed does come with getting to know policies, docs,...

  19. New nurse OVERWHELMED

    guest64485 replied to leapof faith's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It really bothers me that crying nurses seem to be the status quo in acute care hospitals. What other profession can say

  20. Is is it normal to not like nursing?

    guest64485 replied to intothemoon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    really, it seems to be the poor working conditions (that are very pervasive in hospital nursing) that make many of us not like our jobs, rather than nursing

  21. Planetree hospital/facility

    guest64485 replied to zuzi's topic in General Nursing

    I see it as a marketing tool with customer service 101 + a couple other things. Those 'couple other things' include niceties and alternative/complementary therapies that can't always work, and can...

  22. Starting to hate nursing...and only doing it for 3 months!!

    guest64485 replied to nursemissy8's topic in First Year After Licensure

    guest64485 replied to meepmeep's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What kind of mistakes are they? Are they medication mistakes or mistakes about procedures or something else? What I would recommend is to talk with someone about every common procedure you do, and...

  24. Interviewed with Allergy Doctor today

    guest64485 replied to iwanna's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    While each doc is different, I highly doubt the doc would be doing the blood draws for the allergy tests. Skin testing is more accurate than going by the blood results so you shouldn't be drawing...

  25. Basic nursing question

    guest64485 posted a topic in General Nursing

    BRP is that a person should be mainly resting, but can get up to use the bathroom. Even though a person may have a foley they can still have bms too. I haven't heard of bed prevention, but a bed...
