    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Surely there may be SOME nurses like this, but I encourage you to reconsider the phrase "every nurse" when talking about the motivations for avoiding students (I discourage sweeping generalizations in...

    Note taking in class....how do you do it.

    When I was in school, I did neither. I noticed that my professors lectures and powerpoints were very very directly straight from the textbook. So rather than write what they were saying, I followed...

    LPN being scheduled to work as CNA....

    The way I see it, you have a few options. I dont know you, so I cant comment on which is best for you personally. #1 - Tell them that you will work as a CNA only if they agree to a shift bonus of $xx...

    What separates sucessful nursing students from the rest

    Here is my advice, take it or leave it Nursing school is not about what is fair or what anyone might owe you in your learning experience. Yes, hopefully things will generally work out well or at...

    What do you mean you're sick? How dare you!

    Calling in period should be enough. It is MY business if I have called in because I am going to the ER, or because I have a hang nail. Or because I need to take my car in for repairs, or because my...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    1)__ Do you take the flu vaccine yearly? If you do not, what is the reason you do not participate (if you don't mind answering this question)? Yes I do. 2)__ Does your employer have a...

    An Atheist Nurse in King James Hospital

    Yeah I missed the reference. I was trying to figure out where "King James Hospital" was located and if it was somewhere in the

    Nurse Supervisor retaliating against patient

    I actually didn't note snarkiness in JBNs posts....just directness as another poster said. But even if they HAD been snarky, that doesn't mean that "mirroring" that snark back is the right course of...

    Nurse Practitioner Restrictions

    Florida is my home too and its so frustrating to feel like theres no way to advance my career there -ARNPs have so many limitations, and clinical nurse specialists aren't even considered an advanced...
  13. You sound kind of like me :) Go to the search bar and search for the word "introvert". There are multiple threads about this exact topic. Yes, introverts can be nurses, and good ones, too. And you...

    I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    That sucks. People have been rude to me before on the phone too. Oh well, luckily you probably will never be forced to talk to that particular one again. Maybe he was having a bad day for whatever...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    "For it may safely be said, not that the habit of ready and correct observation will by itself make us useful nurses, but that without it we shall be useless with all our devotion." Is that the one...
  17. So here is my problem with your speech: It does nothing to help promote understanding and knowledge sharing between departments. You raise some good points regarding nursing sometimes lacking...
  18. If I hadn't moved on and become a traveler I would take your advice!
  19. One place that I worked at, when transferring/discharging a patient, the nurses were supposed to rush back from the transfer quickly so that they could strip the bed linens before housekeeping got...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Some thoughts: 1) I remember this from when I was in nursing school, too! Most of my clinicals were spent standing awkwardly at the nurses station, trying to stay out of every ones way, maybe...
  21. Yes absolutely. But what about bodily fluids? Puke, poop, pee? Those are the things that I don't see why they can't be
