well i had the interview everything went well. i was offered the job. i called the agency the next day and turn the job down because i would be making the same amt of money and actually would be making less after gas and cell phone bill. and the coverage area is to large. so its medsurge for now.

my son took straterra for a few days, he had adhd. well he developed these terrible tics. he would just jerk and could not controll it. i took him off of the med. his tics remained for weeks. then the tics finally stoped. school started and the teacher was complaining. he could not sit still long enough to consentrate on his work. so the doc put him on adderall xr. the results are amazing. no tics no more bad notes from the teacher.

thank you hairstylingnurse, i wrote down some of the suggestons you mentioned. if i get the job, i will ask to go on a ride along first. this information will be helpful in the interview. ill keep you updated and let u know what happens. thank again.

hello everyone, i have an interview with a home health agency next week. i am very nervous. i need advise on what questions to ask. i currently work in a hospital as a charge nurse on a busy med surg floor. i am very interested in home health. i want to make a good impression in the interview. any advise would be greatly apretiated. this job is in a town i am not familair with, it is a half an hour drive. if i do get the job, i am very nervous about finding my way around. i have no sense of direction lol.:chuckle . how good are home health agencys with helping you find your way around? :sofahider.

there is a trib in africa i dont remember the name, but the men in this tribe actually tie the foreskin so when they go fishing sothey dont get worms from the water in the member. there is a specific creature that is attracted to urine and they travel up the uretra and actually have hooks. they are extremly painful.

hi triage, when i read your post i was thinking wow that sounds like me! i wanted to be a vet also. i love animals and like u i get along better with pets. lol. i was to old to go to vetrenay school. it takes 8 years. and i would have to relocate. so i went into nursing. still think about being a vet sometimes. :smackingf

hi everyone, new nurse here 1year at end of may, i need to vent and to get advise. ok here goes, i work a busy 7p - 7a sift on a med-surg unit, i been on this shift about six months now. i am the charge nurse on this shift, the rns at my hospital usally do not have pts unless there are not enough lpns that night. so heres my problem, i work with a lpn that has been a nurse for 14 years, i respect her for that and she knows a hell of alot more than i do. we have not been getting along because she thinks im lazy, well let me tell u about what i do at night, i do all the pushes, admit, get surgery charts ready for the am, see all the pts, make rounds, call the docs if need. this weekend i was on my feet almost the whole 12 hrs. last night i think i sat down a whole 20mins to eat. this lpn asked me to do vitals at midnight (we dont have aides at night), so i did do the vitals while i also had a board full of pushes to do and i was monitoring a pt blood pressure q1hr, well i came down the hall and there she is at the nurses station talking and laughing, then she gets up to go smoke!!! if she can go smoke she can do her own vital signs. so later own during the night i hear her tell someone that they need to do something with the rns because we are lazy and dont want to help. the nerve! so now she does not talk to me or acknowledges me, i think this is unprofessional because pt safty can be jepordized, if we dont talk about thier care. and this had also happened before with this nurse. she also does this to other nurses and at least 2 other nureses have quit because of her. i dont know what to do about this. so any advise would help alot. thanks for reading my winney post.

:roll oh my god that is so funny

i went to the hurst review. i got only 75 questions and passed. everything that marlene went over was on my test. it was worth the money.

i agree, i am a new nurse too, graduated in may. where i work the rn's train to be charge nurses. some days we take patients but some one eles is charge nurse. i had 6 months of orientation. thank god. what i try to do is in report write down every thing u need to take care of first. than as the shifr goes by, write down things u need to do as they come up. cross them off as u do them. as for pain medication ivpushes, if alot of patients are calling. make a list and again cross them off as u give the meds. but always remenber, the shift has to end some time. ha ha oh by the way, if a pt is asking for pain med go and see about that pt because u dont want to let the pain get so bad that it can not be controlled.

i am a rn, and i have done alot of admits. at my hospital we do the initial vs on a new admit. and that is what we learned in nursing school. when the pt walks in the room, its the first thing we do. bring the dinamap and take vs. then we do the rest of the admission. not hard at all. after, the admit is complete, if we need vs for whatever reason the nurses aides do it.

well i decided to quit the job. im going back to medsurge at the hospital. the work at the dialysis center is ok, its the management that is not right. i decided that i dont want to travel 200 miles in 1 day, and when i interviewed for the job i was told i would get 40 hours. well that did not happened. so im going back to the hospital. thanks for all the advise from every one.

the training is on the floor. basically I just run around and have to ask how to do things. the rn has yet to take me with her when she goes into the computor to chart or when she does orders. i havent been shown their daily routine. its very frustrating. i told my husband today im thinking about going back to work at the hospital.

hi yall, i just got hired at a dialysis clinic, and only have six weeks to train. there is sooo much to learn, i have to learn everything the techs do, building, tearing down, putting pts on and taking them off. plus i also have to learn all of the rn stuff. and i also have to train for acutes and on call. seems like 6 weeks is not ecough time to learn everything. does anyone have any advise to make it less stressful? i need the advise !!!!!
