  1. "Difficult" Patients

    bebbercorn replied to Vespertinas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes, a change in nurse is all it takes. I find most of the time when I was expected to receive a "difficult" patient, they turned out to be fine. Could be either the nurse or the pt that was...

  3. not that it really matters....

    bebbercorn replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    bebbercorn replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in Occupational Health

    Hi, I'm doing Occ Med per diem now and it's ok. I prefer the acute setting, but you do learn some interesting things. It's a little monotonous but very stable and easy. I work with a great doc, I...

  7. 1year RN, I think I hate it. Advice?

    bebbercorn replied to NuevaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I recently read that it takes 18 months to perfect skills at a job and 10 years to get there in your career... so you could be way ahead of schedule! I agree with above posters, give it more time. At...

    bebbercorn replied to julz68's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One thing that helped me get used to talking to doctors was when my preceptor said "It is their JOB to talk to you, to answer your questions, and to wake them up at 330 am." Some are kind, some...

  9. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    bebbercorn replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Starting your paper is the hardest part. Sorry it's not your favorite topic, you can make it through, half of what we do in nursing school is not exactly helping prepare for the workforce... nursing...

  10. HIPAA question...

    bebbercorn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Posting any work related details on FB can be construed as unprofessional... recently heard a CNA getting dismissed for being on FB on the job. There might have been other issues, but it's not worth...

  14. Discrimination against males in the nursing profession.

    bebbercorn replied to Halim F. Dagher's topic in Men in Nursing

    We had a couple of male students in my program and I think that there is more a stereotype across culture. For example, I know of an Indian male that had to face his family's disappointment that he...

  15. I apologize

    bebbercorn replied to uRNmyway's topic in Emergency

    I think more and more ED's are developing to include a "minor care" department. If we had a system that had a 24 hour urgent care we would have ED's less clogged and less overwhelmed nurses... believe...

  17. Why Relatives Should Be Allowed to Watch CPR

    bebbercorn replied to bebbercorn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I cannot imagine the difference in peds! I did one pedi code at the end of nursing school and it was over an hour long. It still stays with me. I can't imagine my child in a code, but God forbid it...

    A poster said that it is not a med error to not know what a med is for... yes, the OP followed right pt, right route, etc... but you HAVE to know the side effects and be able to explain the med... it...

  19. Why Relatives Should Be Allowed to Watch CPR

    bebbercorn replied to bebbercorn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  24. Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    bebbercorn replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I cannot agree enough, midwives seem to be the only one that have apprenticeships in the nursing field and it just seems ridiculous to me that we haven't figured out a better

  25. New RN Confused job A or job B?

    bebbercorn replied to Basicthought's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it depends on your future plans. If you want to work with kids and mental health, isn't the FT job better? That being said, if you want to be in the hospital in the future, start there, it's...
