    RNdynamic posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have worked in the same hospital for 3 years. There is a certain department within my hospital that I have wanted to work in since I first was employed on this hospital in a different...

    What are you basing this perception

  3. Dealing with rude people when applying for positions

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are off the point. My question isn't what would make the NM interested now, as that is already established. My question is what would make the NM interested in the future. Try to re-read the...

  4. Will they contact State Board

    RNdynamic replied to chinadoll1's topic in Patient Medications

    I would go ahead and give a patient a dose of NPH insulin if their BG was 121 and it was a routine dose for them. How do they know that she gave regular instead of

  5. Pharmacist-turned-RN?

    RNdynamic replied to Lizbird5807's topic in Nursing Career

    Not to be negative, but compassion really does not seem like an essential quality to be looking for in pharmacists. People will turn around and tell you about how they want compassionate nurses and...

  6. Dealing with rude people when applying for positions

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, I felt that way too. Rude, nasty people who are probably very unhappy in their everyday lives in positions where they are supposed to assist and advise others. Oh well. Live and learn....

  7. Dealing with rude people when applying for positions

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The shadow I set up with an assistant manager by direct contact. I had not wished to apply at that time; I was shadowing in many units so I could figure out what I wanted. I doubt the manager even...

  8. Nurse Posts About a Patient on Facebook ... Duty to Report?

    RNdynamic replied to PacoUSA's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No. Those nurses who believe you have a duty to report need to get a life and worry about

  9. Can an RN Get a job in a hospital with out a BSN.

    RNdynamic replied to mcclot1993's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am an RN who graduated two years ago with an ADN working in one of the best hospitals in the country. I had to work 6 months in a rural hospital,

  10. Losing respect for nursing students

    Your story sounds completely

  11. Losing respect for nursing students

    RNdynamic replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    Even nurses with twenty five years can be very bad. And based on what you said, it sounds like you may not be compatible with a

  12. Losing respect for nursing students

    RNdynamic replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    Students always help my floor out by performing baths and toileting patients. I am always happy when they are scheduled to come. If you find that your workload is overburdened by the presence of...

  13. Losing respect for nursing students

    RNdynamic replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    No sitting? Is this some sort of a joke? You're supposed to stand for 8 hours without a break? They can sit all they want. Unlike for you, I'm sure their knees will be thanking them fifty years...

  14. Need to vent...

    RNdynamic replied to strings85's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's quite common to not bother drawing a curtain if its very late at night and the visitors are basically all gone and the patient is somewhat confused, depending on the culture of the workplace. It...

  15. Need to vent...

    RNdynamic replied to strings85's topic in Men in Nursing

    Maybe he knows her well in that she will refuse anyone who walks in. Maybe the other nurses had their fill of this patient and decided that it was his turn to take her. You're making assumptions...

  16. Need to vent...

    RNdynamic replied to strings85's topic in Men in Nursing

    Are you *positive* that this patient was not confused or had a history of being resistive to care? You said she wasn't fully aware of what was going on. That means her judgment is impaired. One...

  17. Need to vent...

    RNdynamic replied to strings85's topic in Men in Nursing

    Unless that nurse becomes your mother's nurse and starts providing poor care, you have no business telling his manager about what you've seen him do with a different patient who has nothing to do with...

  18. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    RNdynamic replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My advice throughout the thread has been sound, and it really doesn't apply to me as this subject predominantly concerns women, not men. I care little about who gets hired as long as they are...

  19. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    RNdynamic replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even if it the industry were biased toward the young and beautiful, is that such a bad thing? It works this way in all walks of life. Getting bent out of shape over some people being prettier than...

  20. Nursing student lied about me to my manager, and I cannot prove it.

    RNdynamic replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I misread it as the student being a hired new grad. However, I still believe the OP is in the wrong. For one thing, she is not a member of this student's nursing program. She has no business...

  21. Nursing student lied about me to my manager, and I cannot prove it.

    RNdynamic replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would feel sorry if the OP did not bring this on herself. I hope in the future she will be more respectful when speaking to her

  22. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    RNdynamic replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi. I am actually not a new grad. Thank you for your misguided

  23. Nursing student lied about me to my manager, and I cannot prove it.

    RNdynamic replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your statement was rude and condescending. How would you like it one of your coworkers said that to you? You should have phrased it as so: "I have found that it is always a good idea to check the...

  24. Nurse Calling In Scripts to Pharmacy Illegally

    RNdynamic replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I am a licensed, working RN in an acute care setting. I think that reporting this is

  25. Nurse Calling In Scripts to Pharmacy Illegally

    RNdynamic replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    Then just drop it and look the other way. Rural hospitals don't have the resources that a lot of other hospitals have, and those resources might be the luxuries that these thread posters have and are...
