    Do you have Malpractice Ins?

    OrganizedChaos replied to smoup's topic in Psychiatric

    I didn't have liability insurance when I was working, I didn't know about it. I'm lucky nothing ever happened to me! I would definitely get it & plan on getting it when I am admitted to a bridge...

    OrganizedChaos replied to beckhill78's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Call your malpractice insurance. If you don't have malpractice insurance, get a lawyer. Side note/question. If you weren't impaired & don't do drugs, why didn't you do the drug

    Looking back a lot of the posts by the OP & she seemed to make a lot of excuses. I can't do this, I can't do that because of x/y/z. So many people gave you great advice. Don't make excuses, take...

    OrganizedChaos replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    No one forced you to become a nurse. You were given the clinical rules before clinicals started, if you didn't agree with them you didn't have to go or continue with nursing school. As far as...

    But not just patient care. The way you act the moment you walk through that door in the school's scrubs & in the hospital you are representing the school. If you act an unprofessional way, the...

    You came to a public forum & asked a question where it got answered by many experienced nurses. You didn't get the answer you wanted so now you got "trampled on"? Just wait until you start...

    Exactly. Your clinical instructor is the one you need to talk to. He/she might have a reason for what they do. If not, they might let you sit outside or by

    OrganizedChaos replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    But there is a difference between staff & students. Staff already know what to do whereas the students are learning. I still don't see the problem with the number of patients. It's 9-10 students...

    Please use the quote function. My step mom is a teacher & my MIL is a teacher. None of them ever leave for lunch. This whole lunch debacle can go on forever. I don't know why you are making a huge...

    OrganizedChaos replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    How is it a race if there are 7 nursing students (+ 2-3 precepting students) & 15 patients? Unless I'm missing something. There should be no race. There are plenty of patients to go around. If...

    OrganizedChaos replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    You can at least answer call lights if the nurses are busy (yes, even if it's not your assigned patient). If they need some water or something you can do, do it. Don't just stand

    Are you assigned to a nurse? If you are why don't you go up to the nurse & ask her what you can do to help with your 1 patient instead of roaming the

    As a nurse, you won't be able to leave for your lunch (if you get a lunch). I only had one job where I was able to go out & bring lunch (or dinner, depending on the shift) in. But that place was,...

    When I was in nursing school we weren't able to leave the clinical site until we were finished. I didn't have a problem with it. I knew I would be there for the whole day either brought a lunch or ate...

    What I learned this week (7/11/15)

    OrganizedChaos replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    What I have learned this week is that, to me, being a SAHM is more difficult for ME than nursing. Nursing is hard & grueling, yes; but trying to read the mind of my 1 year old as he throws a...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I may already be a nurse (LVN) but I'm not an RN. So when I graduate & get my first RN position, just because I have experience doesn't mean I will blow off my preceptor. I will listen to every...

    This is a placenta...

    OrganizedChaos replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Thanks!! I still think the placenta is too much. She should've gone with the traditional baby foot prints or birthdays. Or maybe the tattoo artist isn't that
