    0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    Julius Seizure replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The doctor reacted poorly. If the doctor was here asking, I'm sure there would be plenty of suggestions on how to handle it better. But they aren't here. YOU are here, OP, and the only thing you can...

    Can Someone else do a nurse's charting?

    Julius Seizure replied to karentou's topic in General Nursing

    Im surprised that they are willing to pay a tech to be assigned to just this nurse. When I was on crutches, my hospital refused to let me come in even to do a desk

    Solutions for Drinks at Nursing Station?

    Julius Seizure replied to ImNicoEh's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, one unit has a drink cabinet behind the nurses station - only drinks with lids are allowed. Somehow the cabinet provides magical germ protection. Another unit at the hospital simply...

    Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Julius Seizure replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I want my grad education to be free too. . Why doesn't anyone want to give me a giant scholarship just based on kinda hoping I'll be really good at my job

    Successful Orientees Vs Unsuccessful Orientees

    Julius Seizure replied to purplegal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, no, no. Every nurse has different skills and weaknesses. Your puzzle piece didn't fit in that unit. It will fit somewhere else. I "failed" orientation on 2 floors, and was able to fail on a 3rd...

    Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Julius Seizure replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Didn't have anything going on today, so I read the mini-series. It was pretty confusing.....will there be a part 4 that explains more about passing in only 60 questions? Because parts 1-3 make it...

    Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Julius Seizure replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    On second thought, I think we could all learn something from 2mint. Self promotion is the way of the modern world. I, the author of The Nightingale Pledge - Still Relevant Today? Volume 1, have...

    Travel Nursing is it as good as it seems

    Julius Seizure replied to newnursemn's topic in Travel

    Pros: Flexible/non-committal. I like knowing I can leave when I want (technically you can resign anyway, I know). I like being a "free agent". I don't get asked to be in charge or serve on a...

    Should I become a nurse if I can't work night shifts?

    Julius Seizure replied to Kellywon's topic in Nursing Career

    You can avoid nights. BUT you will have to compromise elsewhere. You are very unlikely to find the dream job in the dream speciality without putting some time in on night shift. Waiting lists to move...

    5 twelve hour shifts in a row?? Is it safe??

    Julius Seizure replied to shipmanmisty's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's not safe for me. Some people it's fine for. Just not me.

    Jury Duty

    Julius Seizure replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good idea about how to handle it. Smart

    Given bad report all the time.

    Julius Seizure replied to MoonlightingNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Furthermore, if OP is able to use justifications like "I didn't get a good orientation, I had 24 patients, some of them had stuff going on...", then I have to assume that the day shift RN is also...

    Duke MSN Fall 2016

    Julius Seizure replied to kanhosa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree. Makes me wonder if they entire program would have last minute changes. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

    0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    Julius Seizure replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, what response did you want? Blind outrage void of any thoughtful discussion? I don't think anyone here would agree that the doc was appropriate to yell and hang up on the nurse. Nobody is...

    Jury Duty

    Julius Seizure replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious to know how they respond to your letter. Please update when you hear back! (As an aside, I think jury duty where I live pays more like $7.50. I'm

    Jury Duty

    Julius Seizure replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    This actually stinks more than jury duty to me. Just because now youve likely already taken the day off of work and now it's for no reason! Ah

    What does it take?

    Julius Seizure replied to Chelsea2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just in case you end up deciding that nursing isn't for you, I wanted to suggest that you consider being a Child Life Specialist. It sounds like you might be good at that, and could enjoy it

    Skeletal system

    Julius Seizure replied to JamesPickett's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I rocked learning the skeletal and muscle systems by tutoring other people. Maybe you can convince a friend to let you "teach" it to them. Writing them over and over, labeling diagrams, can help the...

    dry erase board and marker at nclex

    Julius Seizure replied to combinate's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I mean, you can ask them that if you really want.....but i wouldn't advise it. Honestly, I think you should just worry about yourself, not about what other test takers or test administrators might be...

    Once you get peds experience you could even consider working as a float pool nurse, and then you could work in all the different areas

    Bedpan Changing Question

    Julius Seizure replied to rnk1712's topic in General Students

    I had a related issue at work yesterday, where my patient wouldn't stop stooling and I had to just leave them wrapped in a plastic chux for a while before I could re-diaper them. It made me wonder......
