    When patients and visitors are rude

    I get what the OP is saying. Some of you are reading way too much into the post. I think what she was trying to say was don't take it personal, get help if you are unsafe, and reflect on how you...

    MSN (not CNL) as a bedside nurse- thoughts?

    I see many MSN nurses in bedside. Many of them teach on the side. I agree with the OP, why leave a great paying bedside nursing job for less pay and more days a week??? Give me my three 12's and my...

  6. I think home health or Private duty nursing would be a great fit for you. Bedside nursing is not for everyone. If I didn't work on such a great post partum unit, I'm sure I would have quit the bedside...

    Not picking up murmurs in newborns

    Some times I have a hard time hearing murmurs in newborns. Recently to of my babies had to get echos done due to a murmur. Me and other nurses missed this as well. What could I be doing wrong? Should...
  10. I feel the same way about my BSN. I don't want to work anywhere else at the time except bedside. I don't see why the heck I need a BSN. I'm in the BSN program now and it really is a wast of time and...

    Hospital RNs - how do you organize your shift?

    I work on a busy Postpartum unit. Here is how I try to plan my day but ofcourse it rarely works out as such. 7a-730- Report and walking rounds 730-0830- Chart check/ Assess/medicate 2-4 patients ( we...

    Too soon to leave new job?

    OP, I re-read your post and because you do work with such great people, I honestly would try to stick it out. Having a great team to work with is priceless. With that said, I'm a firm believer that...

    Too soon to leave new job?

    I respectfully disagree with Ruby. If you get offered the new job and you feel it is a good fit, you tell them NOW and leave after your two week notice is up. Don't let anyone guilt you into staying...
