  1. No Raises for ER Nurses/Staff

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in Emergency

    Ugh don't even get me started on magnet. Inflated staff numbers, being forced to smile all the time, "coaching" on how to respond to questions, etc etc. Oh and those inflated staffing numbers always...

  2. Patient Entitlement

    bagface replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    YUP!!! Had this last night as a lady was cursing at our triage nurse screaming the "f bomb" every other word and calling her names because her four year old with a fever of 101 wasn't taken back yet...

  3. No Raises for ER Nurses/Staff

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in Emergency

    I found out from a friend that works at the same hospital that she got a raise - she works in the sterile processing department. It's frustrating because their department is a complete JOKE. They send...

  4. Is nursing school everyday or just two days a week?

    bagface replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I drive an hour to school and an hour home five days a week. It depends where you are in the program for us. First/Second semester students are only at school three days a week, third/fourth semester...

  5. No Raises for ER Nurses/Staff

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in Emergency

    Thank you Christine, I appreciate your feedback. I definitely don't want to go back to the last organization I was at, but there are several other hospitals in the area I could certainly apply for...

  6. Nurse inputting false documentation?

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your input! I noticed a few other inconsistencies in the charting as well.. I'll tell my instructor when I hand the data collection in Wednesday - casually and non-threatening of course....

  7. Nurse inputting false documentation?

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately this hospital has been on a hiring freeze for the past year, so they do have PCAs but not any on the L&D floor. Sad because the ladies could have really used the extra

  8. ATI anyone?

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    I'm so glad we aren't the only ones!!! Yes ours counts as a part of our grade each semester too.. we usually have two proctored exams since we have two rotations per semester. You are spot on saying...

  9. Weather Policy

    bagface replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a 911 center for three years - weather was not an excuse to not come to work. If you couldn't make it we dispatched a police officer to get you to the comm center, and you were considered...

  10. Flu, Flu, Go Away

    bagface replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    I had clinical yesterday and we were all sent to local school nurse's office to help them and experience life as a nurse outside of the hospital (pretty great idea actually). Before school even...

  11. Dreading L&D/Peds

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for your words of encouragement and wisdom. Just reading how many others have been down this path makes me feel better. Infertility is a silent disease. Most individuals do NOT talk...

  12. Dreading L&D/Peds

    bagface posted a topic in General Students

    Just some history... I'm almost 30, I already have one child from a relationship that was unhealthy (my son was unplanned as well but he was the best blessing). I've since gone through many good years...

  13. Dreading L&D/Peds

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Thank you for not being judgmental about it. You're right.. just have to power through it and disconnect as much as possible. It's going to be hard to mentally set myself up for that on clinical days...

  14. I need HELP UNDERSTANDING CARE PLANS PLEASE!!!

    bagface replied to nette1022's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Esme as a student I love coming to the boards and seeing what you post, I love how you encourage and help other students by guiding them so they can gain the necessary critical thinking skills they...

  15. regret the nursing school i choose to attend. do you???

    bagface replied to nursetobe15's topic in General Students

    Maybe it's just our school but we're expected to come to class prepared? Notes ready, readings read, homework done. Class goes into more detail explaining what we went over in our book to fill in any...

  16. A little joke for all of us in school...

    bagface posted a topic in General Students

    This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. I can relate to grumpy cat COMPLETELY because I always seem to get a "reader" professor EVERY SEMESTER.

  17. A little joke for all of us in school...

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Go over your course objectives in the syllabus and focus on those parts

  18. TEXT?

    bagface replied to cmurra6745's topic in General Students

    Something I do is I grab the course objectives (these should be in your syllabus) and I specifically read those parts in great detail in the book. I also go over power points and cross-reference the...

  19. Where do YOU sit in class?

    bagface replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    There's actually a study showing personality types based on where people sit in a classroom. My learning resource counselor (we all are assigned one and have to meet with them once a semester) gave me...

  20. First week down........

    bagface replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    Ask questions!! You're paying for your education!! If you don't you'll fall behind on basics and perhaps there is someone else in your shoes who is just too embarrassed to ask for help. I know a lot...

  21. First week down........

    bagface replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    You can go to nclexonline.com for practice questions! I also have a book (that I only browsed through so but it looked decent) called "Nclex incredibly easy" that shows you the rationale behind test...

  22. Linda Carter, Student Nurse

    bagface replied to BrandonLPN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I go to school and know some that STILL go into nursing for this reason This comic is AWESOME though.. I'm giggling like a little kid at these

  23. Doc Mad At You?

    bagface replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had doctors mad at me.. but I don't really put them on a pedastool so.. meh. I've had some annoyed at me because I'm still a student and go "slower" than they like (oh well, I'm learning, they...

  24. Getting the hang of IVs...

  25. The "just graduating" nurse

    bagface posted a topic in General Students

    I'm seeing a lot of people I went to school with graduate. I'm starting to get offended by my fellow classmates posting pictures of themselves on facebook/twitter graduating saying "I'm a RN!"...
