  1. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    studentnursemon86 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    INTJ. This is interesting since I work as a tech in a busy ER and I hope to work there when I'm done with nursing

  2. Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    studentnursemon86 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My professor wants them hand written. Haha! I am still using it as a reference

  3. Housekeeping

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I don't mind doing it. My issue was that the guy was on his work phone for about an hour on what sounded like a personal call from what I overheard in passing. People were trying to reach him to clean...

  4. First exam, feeling discouraged :(

    studentnursemon86 replied to shells31's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same boat. We have our first exam next Monday for Fundamentals. I feel like I know the material, but I'm still freaking out. I am one of those with test anxiety and sometimes my mind just...

  5. Yearly Bonus Ripped Off?

    studentnursemon86 replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    Not every pay is taxed like this. But about 50% of my BONUS is taken out with taxes. If you would like me to screenshot my pay stub for you I will. It is pretty pitiful though, and may hurt your

  6. Housekeeping

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm not saying that it is an easy job; but there should be some level of accountability. This employee was on his work phone and people were trying to get ahold of him. I never tried to insinuate that...

  7. Yearly Bonus Ripped Off?

    studentnursemon86 replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    The state taxes is where I lose most of my bonus. Between the state and federal taxes combined, about 40% of it is gone. Then they take out the Medicare and SS as well. So that's about where the other...

  8. Yearly Bonus Ripped Off?

    studentnursemon86 replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    Oh. We don't negotiate our bonuses. It is based off the hospital's revenue. We are given financial goals at the beginning of the fiscal years (ways to cut cost but still improve patient care..:right:)...

  9. Yearly Bonus Ripped Off?

    studentnursemon86 replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    We are getting one for the first time in years. It is added onto our paycheck. For most of us it throws us into the next tax bracket and we lose about half of it. This is

  10. Debrief After Traumatic Events?

    studentnursemon86 replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't get to have a debriefing. And if there are any questions out nurse manager emails us a week or so later. I don't agree with this because I feel it is best to go over the details when it is...

  11. PCT Bashing PCT

    studentnursemon86 replied to ArrowRN's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I will never understand why people do some of these things. If I see someone doing something the wrong way (especially a new employee), I show them the right way. I make it a point to never go to the...

  12. When you are at clinicals

    studentnursemon86 replied to nowim clean's topic in General Students

    I will definitely be taking this advice. We start out in hospital clinicals next week. Our instructor also suggested that we don't "huddle" in the hallway. It just doesn't look professional, and if we...

  13. Unhealthy Habits of Nurses

    studentnursemon86 replied to lynns75's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am not a nurse (yet) but I consider my 12 hour ER tech shifts to be a workout in and of

  14. Fake call outs irritate me

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last time I called out was a few months ago. I woke up with a 103 temperature and ended up seeing the doctor and finding out I had strep and bronchitis. At some points, if I haven't been sick in a...

  15. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    studentnursemon86 replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This makes me laugh because in an emergency behavioral health setting I told my patient and visitor that they had to leave the light on and the door open when she was in the room. She was practically...

  16. Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    studentnursemon86 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I get home from work tomorrow I'll be doing this. Did you just cut and paste them onto 3x5cards? I have tried writing them out but it takes so long and I can't seem to write small enough to fit...

  17. Nurse safety

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in General Nursing

    It's not exactly patient safety, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask. This is just out of curiosity. I'm not looking for advice or anything. How do you handle an aggressive patient when you...

  18. Nursing book bag..help!

    studentnursemon86 replied to NURSEY92's topic in General Students

    http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5700485?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063 I'm sure some of this is true with adults as

  19. One week down

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in General Students

    14 to go! I survived my first week of nursing school. I finally have my uniforms and books. I have 4 med cards to make. I'll set my goal at 4 a week even though they say 2 is the minimum requirement....

  20. Having a bad night

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Ever have that kind of night/day where everyone gets on your nerves? It is hard to deal with people barking orders at you constantly all day/night long. And you can only do one thing at a time.

  21. What to wear to lab/clinical training.

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in General Students

    So to lecture I just wear jeans and a t-shirt. We have a skills lab and the first two weeks we are supposed to go to skills lab instead of clinicals. I guess this is supposed to just be practicing on...

  22. Having a bad night

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    That reminds me of some TV show I was watching. The girl called it a "tink and

  23. Soma or Enclosure Beds... Cruel or not?

    studentnursemon86 replied to Paws2people's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. Bedside tables aren't considered a restraint. All 4 bedrails up is, as well as placing a bed against a wall with 2 bed rails up. We would need a doctor order for that as

  24. Mental health

    studentnursemon86 replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That attitude will be very helpful in your nursing career. That is what I want to say. AN app wouldn't let me scroll down to edit.

  25. Mental health

    studentnursemon86 replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This will hopefully be a good learning experience. I'm glad it happened on an Internet forum rather than a clinical site or potential place of employment. It takes great maturity to point out when we...
