  1. New instructor

    OCRN3 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OCRN3 replied to babblingbrook's topic in Nursing Career

    I know this is an old thread, but I think that I need to vent here. I have been working 3-4 12 hour shifts in the hospital. I work weekends and holidays, my fair share of them too. I have popped out a...

    OCRN3 replied to OCRN3's topic in Health, Stress Management

    True, running around all day then eating a huge burger with fries and a diet, then crashing for the night! LOL?. I wish I had more self control! I know there are fit nurses out there. I guess I set...

  8. Phone, cell, beeper and texting.

    OCRN3 replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

  9. Different Piggyback Antibiotics, Same IV Tubing??

    OCRN3 replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I have never heard of this at my current hospital, but did see a nurse do it once at a LTC. Doesn't seem right though, I would just use a new tubing. Sent from my iPhone using

  10. Help! Job dilemma!

    OCRN3 replied to NS81's topic in New York Nursing

    Take the job closer to home, it will give you more time and save money. You will get raises and eventually be at the same amount you were making. Just to the math and see if it makes sense. Sent from...

  13. I don't like nursing school :( will I hate nursing?

    OCRN3 replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Career

    What do you hate about clinicals? Clinical will be like when you get a job in the hospital except you are on your own as far as how you do things and in what sequence. If you hate clinicals I think...

  15. Next shift RN took over - help

    OCRN3 replied to Do_Good's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why did you tell that nurse to begin with? Maybe she thought that you were asking for help and since she was already calling the doctor she just passed on the info. Sounds like she was trying to help....

  16. Confessions of a Job hopper

    OCRN3 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't feel so bad, some people like myself stay at a job for 12 years and then get so used to it they can never leave. Keep up the good work and at least at the nursing jobs you stay mostly a...
