  1. HI case managers. Advice please!

    I am definitely a burnt out bed side nurse. Heres my backround. I have been a working nurse a year and a half. I worked pt a skilled nursing facility for 7 mos that went great, but made what ended up...
  2. nitro

    There was a pt who had a nitro capsule 2.5 that he had ordered. Would you still give tbis medication if the bp was low? Curious. Thanks everyone in
  3. nitro

    I dont know all the details because i only had that pt for an hour so my colleuge could leave early and didnt give him a single med.. I think it was given for angina and i know people on nitro are on...

    Thanks. I should add this was extended release too. I wasnt giving it bit i noticed in a pts hx it was when he was
  5. getting out of bed side

    I have to say, just a year and a half into my career I have really really had it with nursing. I'm sick of management dinging me for everything they possibly can for nothing, I'm sick of lazy nursing...
  6. Burned out and hate nursing

    Thanks for the advice, heres some for you. Maybe you should take a vacation from all nurses web site, if it bothers you so bad somebody venting/posting about an experience and observations they have...
  7. bedside nursing, is it really that bad?

    Not a big fan of bed side nursing personally for many reasons. I have found most nursing aren't either. In my opinion it is a hard hard road. You have to really really want to be a nurse, have really...
  8. Burned out and hate nursing

    I know the feeling OP. I've been a nurse for a year and a half only now and I truly hate this field. Managers and nursing assistances can make all the difference too. Many managers are out of touch,...
  9. That's good I think that your staying where you are. I too suffer from depression, and a little anxiety, and would love to work in a boring office right now than my busy and sometimes cut throat ltc...
  10. I know what your going through. I can't wait to earn my bachelors and get a couple years more exp (I only barely have 1) and then move on probably to being a case manager. But I have to do those...
  11. getting out of bed side

    Thanks. Case management does seem like a perfect fit. Getting out of bed side is probably realistically a longer term goal right now, within 3 or 4 years would be
  12. Don't be envious, like someone said before, its HIGHLY over rated. Most bed side nursing jobs are fit for dogs. I will be leaving bed side as soon as I can and never ever looking
  13. Frustrated

    I don't have any advice really but to say your not alone! I could have written this topic myself word for word (including the other holier than thou nurses), except for working different areas....
  14. Good luck! 4 weeks isn't terribly long, but I've heard of worse. I'll be real, nursing can be, more like just "is", a bumpy ride. In the beginning it can be really really tough and just plain...
  15. Mistakes

    Its human to make mistakes and WE ALL DO! But it all seems in my short year and half as a nurse to be wheather your manager is understanding of that or not (or wheather they like you personally or not...
  16. INR 6.5

    I had a pt today with a INR of 6.5. I called the doctor. He told me to hold todays coumadin and monitor for bleeding. I work nights and was ready to leave. So I put that order in. Told the nurse...
  17. INR 6.5

    Ok, great. Haven't been taking INRs very long at this place and unsure, new nurse here. Thanks
  18. Crazierthanyou, I have a hard time understanding other nurses (bad) attitudes about a lot of
  19. Just be careful. Not only is the market tough but sometimes so can the work place. If your comfortable where you are and like your management and coworkers, well, I would hate to see you leave that so...
  20. LTC nurse in MI too. I was thinking the same
  21. I also completely agree. Its not about them, its about you. I quit a hospital, gave a good two weeks notice and fulfilled it faithfully. But just not working at the moment made it really hard to find...
  22. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    I think its fine as long as you don't go overboard. I have a visible tattoo on the back of my neck, not innapropriate or anything bad. Where I now work its okay to have up to one third of your body...
  23. Share Your Full Moon Stories

    Are you asking about my butt???
  24. "Omitting" a job from resume

    I guess it isn't a good idea to omit a job. But I would definitely start looking for another job and get one before you quit where your working. I quit before finding in another job recently in...
  25. Why Do People Bully Me?

    I agree with those who say this article is too broad. I know a few nurses that have been put on probation for fighting with other coworker bullies. I was shocked when I got my first nursing job and...
