  1. Are you jealous of other nurses jobs/abilities?

    RNdynamic replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    You just haven't found something you liked. You might be in one of those ICUs or PCUs and hate it. Those nurses you are talking about might even hate it and not be saying anything. People generally...

  2. Work declining vacation request?

    RNdynamic replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don't "request" the vacation. Simply state (in an email) that you are going on a trip to Cancun and cannot work that week. If they bring up some BS about not being able to give time off, just reply...

  3. Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    RNdynamic replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Women are supposed to wear their hair

  4. Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, & GenY/Millennials: Can We Work Together?

    RNdynamic replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    Baby boomers are notoriously materialistic and consumerist, unfortunately Libby. They're children of the second world war, the rise of the nuclear family, with every soulless Dick and Jane purchasing...

  5. Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, & GenY/Millennials: Can We Work Together?

    RNdynamic replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    This article is total bullpuckey full of gross generalizations. I never got the impression of millenials being "selfish" and "not team players." In fact, the younger nurses tend to be way more eager...

  6. Epic electronic medical records

    RNdynamic replied to Nasir Awan's topic in General Nursing

    Tell your client to mind their own

  7. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    RNdynamic replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm not an APRN student but I have always found the notion of finding your own preceptor RIDICULOUS. That doesn't happen in med school or PA school, so why NP school? Its

  8. PCCN certification - Should I expect a pay differential?

    RNdynamic replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    When I got PCCN certified, I submitted a request for a one time bonus and received

  9. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    RNdynamic replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    OP: When I was in nursing school, I received the same sort of message from the instructors. I graduated in the top 5% of my nursing school. Here's what I had heard: "A lot of the time students who...

  10. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    RNdynamic replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Grand Canyon and Phoenix College I meant , yeah. They're both for profit I believe. I've heard they use a lot ofor very aggressive recruiting tactics and sucker people into signing up for insane...

  11. Does where you go for graduate nursing school matter?

    RNdynamic replied to lyndsmar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Case Western is well known in the graduate world? Yeah -- as an affirmative action

  12. Does where you go for graduate nursing school matter?

    RNdynamic replied to lyndsmar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In the case of nursing school, I would strongly consider cost as a priority before "name brand." Nursing school curriculum is standardized and ultimately no one will end up caring where you went to...

  13. giving half a dose

    RNdynamic replied to coletanner's topic in Patient Medications

    I don't completely agree with this. With insulin its different but other meds, I don't see an issue giving a half dose. Example: a patient c/o headache asks for tylenol. The doctor writes for 650mg...

  14. BSN premium on the table.

    RNdynamic replied to tokmom's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Premiums such as this serve to divide nurses, not unite them. Vote AGAINST BSN

  15. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

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

    Here's the thing: their "OCD" or "control freak" tendencies that secretaries have are aggravating to most people. They develop a reputation for "claiming their space." I've seen secretaries get mad...

  16. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

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

    Yea.. can definitely relate to the OP here. Where I've worked, secretaries think that they have the lay of the land on a given unit. It's especially bad when the secretary has a lot of seniority....

  17. FBI: Hospice Owner Told Worker to 'Make Patient Go Bye-Bye

    RNdynamic replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I've read that many times in nursing, "black humor" is utilized in order to help members of the profession to cope with grief and loss. Could this be an example of

  18. FBI: Hospice Owner Told Worker to 'Make Patient Go Bye-Bye

    RNdynamic replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Bye bye

  19. Increase costs and testing for Florida IPN

    RNdynamic replied to gabby3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You only test twice a month in FL?? Wow. In CT it's 4-8 times

  20. How long?

    RNdynamic replied to Roger1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I Self reported to my assistance program before the state contacted me but it was about 3 months after the investigation. However because I beat the state to the punch by Self reporting , their...

  21. FBI: Hospice Owner Told Worker to 'Make Patient Go Bye-Bye

    RNdynamic replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Was it perhaps an attempt at the infamous "black humor" that permeates

  22. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

    RNdynamic replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not with RAMP, but from what I've seen from HAVEN in the state of CT, corruption is rife within this assistance program

  23. The Bearded Nurse

    RNdynamic replied to jamathis's topic in Men in Nursing

    For job interviews, I advise going in clean shaven. Not saying that this is a good thing, but being clean shaven gives a more favorable impression in job interviews than going bearded. This has...

  24. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    RNdynamic replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    I think its due to a lot of people going to school at for profit schools, diploma mills, and affirmative action mills... I know tons of people on this website go to school for nursing in the grand...

  25. Psych np

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've heard one person say you can go to an FNP program and take some test to become a psych NP? That doesn't sound legit at
