    Recognizing Excellent Performance

    We do daisy awards for nurses and rose awards for techs. When a nurse receives a nomination they get a pin and five dollar gift card for the gift shop and cafeteria. If the nurse wins a daisy, a...

    When we become the patient

    Hope you feel better. After having to get a csection three months ago, I have a new found respect for my post partum moms. I'm definitely a better nurse since I've had my experience as the patient

    Wow. Just wow

    I'm really at a lost for words. A nurse deliberately made a med error. When she was notified by the nurse that caught the error that an incident report will be made, she had a resident write the...

    Gel Nails

    I personally use gel polish because it doesn't chip ( at least mine don't ). My job is fine with gel polish. Just no chipped polish or

    Hi Brandon, no offense but I found your post a bit rude. I should have never posted this thread because I cannot give details. I'm also not over reacting , as this nurse was grossly practicing outside...

    There is a huge difference between giving a med in an emergency and getting the order later to save a life and deliberately practicing outside your scope in a non emergent

    Wow. Just wow

    I can't go into details , really wish I could. No it wasn't a critical care situation. This nurse practiced outside of her scope, admitted to doing it for years. Used a statement along the lines of...

    Will this affect my license.

    Oh wow. Sorry this happened to you. I found percocet at my patients bedside last night and had to waste it with the charge. The previous shift left it. As a rule of thumb, I never leave meds at the...

    New RN, but not interested in hospital bedside nursing

    You may have to suck it up and do 1-2 years of acute care if you wanna be a FNP. Don't worry about taking someone's spot at the bedside. You have to do what is best for your

    Coworker tried converting me on my break

    I'm a Christian and I believe there is a time and place for everything. Perhaps that was not the right time. Next time, politely tell her you wish not to talk about it. Hopefully she will get the...
  18. Ruby I disagree with you. A test does not determine someone's competency in MY opinion. I know nurses who took it multiple times who run circles around first time passers of the nclex. There needs to...

    1)Don't become a LPN 2)If you fail the NCLEX then you should be given a LPN license 3)All nurses in their 20's are self entitled spoiled

    You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    You don't give peppermint oil. You mix a little with some water, place it in a nuns cap, they sit on it and it helps them void. We use this too at our
