  1. Making mistakes at work

    leaflet replied to ChocoholicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can totally relate! However I also believe that hospital staffing policies and acuity issues also contribute to the problem. Days when I am pulled in too many directions I make more mistakes. I...

    leaflet replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    Ok silly question in re: to this discussion. Say the trach comes out, you grab the obturator, are you reinsrting the one that just came out or a new sterile one? Then if that size doesn't work you...

  5. How many of you work 3 days /12 hrs shifts?

    leaflet replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I may be one of the few, but I would prefer a different schedule. I love my days off, but usually I end up having all my days off by myself with my husband and I on opposite schedules. I also don't...

  9. How do I interview a nurse manager?

    leaflet replied to leaflet's topic in General Nursing

  11. Unrealistic goal to get job as new grad in ICU?

    leaflet replied to AKav8trix's topic in Nursing Career

    Only you can make the decision, but it sounds like you have had a lot of experience and that you know what you want to do. I am in the middle of ICU clinicals and I ask every nurse if they started...

  12. I am a cursed idiot

    leaflet replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    I just agree that you cannot find your meaning in nursing and if you are doing it for satisfaction in yourself you will probably come up short. We are human and will fail. I went into nursing...

    leaflet replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

    leaflet replied to CardioTrans's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I can't tell you for certain, but I do know that University of Colorado at Pueblo has a NP program that combines FNP and ACNP, so I would guess it must be somewhat useful. You might find some...

  16. CNA before RN

    leaflet replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Students

    I know that it is not required, but if you can I would. It is really helpful when you get into clinicals. I sort of look at it this way... if you are at least familiar witht the routines,...

  17. What is the hardest nursing class?

    leaflet replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    So far for me it has been what we call Health Management 1. It had some med-surg, community, and lots of odds and ends that don't fit anywhere else. It really sucked! And now matter how hard I tried...

  18. Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    leaflet replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  20. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    leaflet replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am lucky to have a very supportive family and support system. My parents are the ones who helped me to see the nursing profession for what it is rather than the blurred inaccurate vision of...

  21. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    leaflet replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing
