  1. Is this odd to you too?

    ANnot4me replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    This has been a great thread for me; I have learned (or re-learned) alot. My immediate reaction was that of a nurse and I thought the request odd, but would have been respectful and tried to do what...

  2. personal problems lead to license revocation?

    ANnot4me replied to SwampCat's topic in General Nursing

    The OP stated that the child has been removed from the care of the mother. I would surely hope that a mother would not lose a child over an unfounded allegation. I would also think that the...

  3. Fired recently - REALLY need advice!!!

    ANnot4me replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for the late response WN, I somehow lost track of this thread. I had transferred from one department to another and my first manager (who was my boss for three years) said not to worry about it...

  4. New nurse in LTC & Overwhelmed (long)

    ANnot4me replied to LogCabinMom's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that you have to deal with this and I hope you will learn from your experience. You have said yourself that you feel unsafe and that you are making mistakes. You are jeopradizing your...

  5. Telling doctors what's REALLY on your mind...

    ANnot4me replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I just hate baby sitting doctors. Spoon feeding them is just as bad. Never see that on

  6. Fired recently - REALLY need advice!!!

    ANnot4me replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

    I have been fired and it was also wrong. Ten years later, I can tell you that it did not really matter. The biggest problem was how it affected me and working through my feelings. I found little...

  7. from New Zealand Nurses

    ANnot4me replied to nammeapl's topic in International Nursing

    Sunny-- Some people on here are not who or what they say they are, so be careful. Two links for you http://www.nzno.org.nz/Site/General/Overseas_nurses_beware.aspx...

  8. Blowing the whistle on your facility

    ANnot4me replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Run now before you burn out!I think you have more than justified your position, BxRN2B. Here in NZ they just had an expose on a SNF where someone from the news crew worked as a caretaker. Now...

  9. Blowing the whistle on your facility

    ANnot4me replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Things in these places have been the same for years and years. They are warehouses for people society wants out of sight and out of mind. If the government really cared, don't you think they would...

  10. It's Official We are definitely short staffed

    ANnot4me replied to gwenith's topic in International Nursing

    Pleae not that the original post is two years old. You will need to contact a recruiter to find a

  11. Will nursing always have all the BS

    ANnot4me replied to kambra's topic in General Nursing

  12. In over my head and don't know what to do!

    ANnot4me replied to heyheyhey35's topic in General Nursing

    I have just come in from a long walk and it is a hot sunny day. I'm thinking that I may have heat stroke and I should go to the nearest ER. I could have sworn the OP wrote she was a new nurse and is...

  13. Nursing Student from New York looking for summer externship in Australia

    ANnot4me replied to goldruss17's topic in International Nursing

    New graduates down this way complete a new graduate program their first year out of school. That is the closest thing to an externship. I would think it would be difficult to go to OZ and do much...

  14. MD rounds w/nurses..what should I mention

    ANnot4me replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, after five years in NZ, I would probably keel over. I worked in one of the largest and best known ICUs in NZ and all we ever got was, "Anything out the tube?" Once I got, "This patient does not...

  15. Cultural issues between Filipino and American Nurses

    ANnot4me replied to numlinium's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad to see all the positive comments. I, too, have worked with many Fillipino nurses. I wish some would post here as I am sure they have much to say. I know theie culture is much more family...

  16. From Australia to NZ fo GNP!

    ANnot4me replied to RNSunny's topic in International Nursing

    Oh Sunny, I had worked up north for several years and went home to the US for a couple of months. Came back to take a job in the CCU at Welly Hospital. It is a mess. It is no secret, just read the...

  17. Manager threatened me

    ANnot4me replied to sonnyluv's topic in General Nursing

    Life is way too short for these games. Nurse Managers can be crazy too. I once had a manager I got a bad vibe from at my interview, but I really wanted the job. It was a big mistake for me to...

  18. From Australia to NZ fo GNP!

    ANnot4me replied to RNSunny's topic in International Nursing

    Good luck Sunny. Your first step is to contact the nursing council. Then worry about a job. It shouldn't be difficult. Luckily, Australian permanent residents can also work here on their...

  19. from New Zealand Nurses

    ANnot4me replied to nammeapl's topic in International Nursing

    I am a Registered Nurse and live in New Zealand. I have let my registration expire here. It is a horrible place to work on so many levels. I have worked in Australia and really enjoyed it. Money...

  20. Curious about your job

    ANnot4me replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    I worked per diem in the ICU at SFGH. The pay was great, but I was not able to take a break. I was told it was my responsibilty to get someone to cover even though the charge nurse had no patients...

  21. Just Changed Jobs because...

    ANnot4me replied to Vacationtime247's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. Too many people hang around until it's too late. I feel sorry for the residents, but after 12 years in nursing, I realize that the problem involves everyone and not just nurses. It's...

  22. How often do RNs clean up poop? (thinking about majoring in nursing)

    ANnot4me replied to gwchem's topic in General Nursing

    You'll be surprised what you learn to deal with... I'd rather clean poo all day than deal with some of the people I have dealt with. I take pride in the fact that I can clean poo, smile and reassure...

  23. After getting a BSN, what's next?

    ANnot4me replied to crux's topic in General Nursing

    Your wife should make an application to the CA Board of Nursing to sit the NCLEX. She could also contact her uni and get some assistance from them. No offense meant, but after I finished uni, I sure...

  24. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    ANnot4me replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Truth66-- Crabs in a bucket! I totally understand your point and it is unfair. In nursing, if my employer punches me and your's only slaps you, then you should shut up and be

  25. Struggling keeping nurses in my unit

    ANnot4me replied to BellaSRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, and from what you have said about staffing, I would not work on your unit. I have left jobs that paid $100,000/year because I was not happy and my job satisfaction did not enter...
