    Socially needy coworkers

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would just ignore her, and find myself something to do every time she tries to talk. If she opens chart of not her patients, report it. If she comments about the care of the patient, tell her there...

    That's not a bad nurse

    BSN-to-MSN replied to stephen1219's topic in General Nursing

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    It can be a life or death situation, no job is worth it. They cannot "report" you to nowhere, it is NOT a patient abandonment if you are gave report to other nurse, and went home after the end of your...

    BSN-to-MSN replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Obamacare did not help ME - it made my premiums, and everyone else's I know go up, (40-50 percent, no joke),so why on earth would I support it? Just my 2

    Nursing student getting abuse from instructor

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Nursingbabydoll's topic in General Students

    HELP! Threats to call BON!

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, learn from this mistake. A middle age man looking to live with a 34 y.o. woman has hidden motives. Pick your candidate better next time. Second, let him call. There is no wrongdoing on...

    What do you think?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to petertheparrot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, risky hire; there are plenty nurses with better track record looking for work out there. One cannot jump jobs like that, and hope something good will come out of it. Stick to the NP school if you...

    New RN; Advice Needed about Jobs (Unique SNF or L&D)

    BSN-to-MSN replied to judebox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It looks like the SNF job makes more sense right now- they offered the job already, you can bike to work, and start right now. The L&D is farther, you have to wait until January, and you are only...

    Should I accept a job that offers more experience with less pay?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    I'd say go for the experience, but I see the position is on psych floor. Did you intend to apply/work there? Personally, I would not choose to work in psych. Recently I traded full time SNF for part...

    Yesterday I had a strange situation with patient's "friends" in her room. I went to introduce myself, and on of them told me not to come back until I find out what's on the menu for dinner. Okay, so I...

    LTC vs Assisted living

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Mscoleman78's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello! I guess you will have to try it out for yourself. There are better and worse LTCs and ALFs. Expect to do less skills, no ALFs do IVs, some let you do Foleys. At ALF I worked, home health had to...

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    BSN-to-MSN replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    This can be flipped to nurse's perspective: " but it's not my fault or my coworker's fault that this student is trying to learn a thing or two, I'm just trying to get thru my day." Understand that...
