  1. new job and first get to know my staff meeting

    zahryia replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it's cool that you are setting new standards, however I also think it's hard to change a culture of people. Oftentimes, it's us that have to bend, sort of meeting our patients where they're...

  2. What inspired you to become a nurse?

    zahryia replied to NurseNinaFla's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't any one reason in itself, but a bunch of smaller reasons: I got sick and had an idiot Park Ave doctor that treated me like crap. I had to advocate for myself and it got me wondering what...

  4. feeling guilty not going in due to snow

    zahryia replied to heavenlystar87's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think we can compare ourselves to other professions. As nurses, we have more of a responsiblity to come into work than a teacher or a secretary. But policemen, firemen, are just as...

    zahryia replied to heavenlystar87's topic in General Nursing

    How do you learn to drive in ice? I'm not being funny. I genuinely want to

  6. hedis outcomes or managed access

    zahryia replied to wincha's topic in Quality Improvement

    There seems to be some good opportunities in NYC. Maybe if you know someone there, you can temporarily stay there. The only thing is they seem to require a NY license, while states don't care where...

  7. Interview at Fertility Clinic

    zahryia replied to kfarinato's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you were able to get it re-scheduled, then don't cry about it. The stress will only make you anxious. Stuff happens. You called ahead and you are fine. Now, just take deep breaths and...

  8. feeling guilty not going in due to snow

    zahryia replied to heavenlystar87's topic in General Nursing

    You're fine. I understand as a new nurse and someone who has been asking for extra shifts why you might feel uneasy, but if it's an optional shift, then you are not compelled to do it. There's also...

    zahryia replied to wincha's topic in Quality Improvement

    Wow, they just called me yesterday. I was busy and they prepared to call me back at a later time. They never called, so I was going to initiate the call. Thank God I read this thread first. Any...

  11. staying the night at work due to weather

    zahryia replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Times like this, I'm so happy I'm not a staff or hospital nurse. The thought of staying overnight in a hospital is one thing, but the thought of taking a shower in the hospital is another.

    zahryia replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    There's a detailed similiar thread in the New York section that's a sticky. I think it's extremely helpful. I believe WHC is $28 (at least it was in 2008) Washington Adventist is approximately $26....

    zahryia replied to sallber's topic in General Nursing

  21. Couplet Care/Postpartum
