    Let's Ban the Phrase "I'll Go Get Your Nurse"

    LM NY replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Something happened to me two weeks ago that still doesn't sit well with me. I was with a patient starting an IV or something of that nature and a medical student came just to tell me my other patient...

    Unaccredited Nursing School to WGU RN-BSN Program

    LM NY replied to gracehope26's topic in Western Governors University

    Holding an RN license is an automatic 60 credits. I think the problem may be which courses will be accepted if any at

    Hard to get RN job at NYU Langone Medical Center?

    LM NY replied to stillalice's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm a firm believer that your personality should stand out to the recruiters. They can tell who is being fake. If you are a stronger candidate as a whole compared to someone else, you will get the...

    Double income as a nurse

    LM NY replied to ChrisB718's topic in New York Nursing

    As a brand spanking new nurse it would be difficult. What you are doing in clinical is nothing compared to the real nursing world. I agree about the full time and part time which can be

    8 or 12 hour shifts

    LM NY replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in General Nursing

    I hate working five days a week. I am dead tired when I get home and I have three young kids that demand my attention. If I worked 12's I would have a life outside of work instead of taking naps...

    Understaffed with a heavy patient load

    LM NY replied to ashleesini's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You sound like someone that cares. I have no doubt in my mind you will be a great nurse and look at this amazing experience you are getting beforehand. I wish my unit was maxed at six patients to a...

    Dear Preceptors

    LM NY replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone is meant to orient, but most don't have a choice. How can a stressed and overworked nurse with 10 patients realistically orient a new nurse? I agree 100% with the nursing department being...

    0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    LM NY replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My head is hurting. I think this may be the reason why I don't frequent AN as often as I used to or would like to. A brand new nurse a few months off orientation asks a question and is not happy with...

    Difficult parents/patient

    LM NY replied to ICareAlot's topic in Pediatric

    As a parent and a nurse on an adult unit, I find it odd that the parent would be against getting the test done. At 5-6 years of age my kids were pretty compliant given I was in the room and they were...

    Objective Assessment for Community Health (C228)

    LM NY replied to Phillysteve's topic in Western Governors University

    Hey Commuter. I was wondering about the scores. They show an individual score then a national score and a mean score. Help! I passed yesterday with a level 2, but curious about the scores. Plus, how...

    Leaving NYP

    LM NY replied to auchiepie's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry, but I forgot to mention I don't work at NYP. I work at a very busy hospital in NYC though and the 7-8 patients has been an every day thing for me. I wouldn't mind it once in a while, but it is...

    Leaving NYP

    LM NY replied to auchiepie's topic in New York Nursing

    It's funny you say that. I was saying the exact same thing the other day to my co-workers. As a new nurse with no prior experience I have been getting 7-8 patients. I hate all the documentation that...

    NorthWell Formerly Long Island Jewish MED SURG UNIT H.E.L.P

    LM NY replied to Amarafynedu's topic in New York Nursing

    I work at a different facility, but there is a high turnover on my med-surg unit as well. The main reason for most of the people that left my unit was to transfer to specialty units. A lot of nurses...

    Brooklyn per diem for new grad BSN

    LM NY replied to JudithL_in_NH's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, what the person before me said. At my hospital per diem is left for experienced nurses. Why can't your daughter get a full or part time position? Having a BSN and all that experience as a CNA...

    Mentors

    LM NY replied to datki2015's topic in Western Governors University

    I have an awesome mentor, but one of my course mentors is holding me back. I failed one objective exam by 3% and she is making me go through hoops just to be able to retake it. I don't like the fact I...

    I am finding it hard to believe that someone with all that knowledge, who is on their way to living a happy and successful life, can't just research the information. I am also surprised an admin...

    LM NY replied to avwavy's topic in Nurse Registration

    Huh! I am confused. Doesn't matter how long you were married, if you never legally changed your last name then nothing needs to be mentioned. Did you ever change your name? No! When I got married a...
