    one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    How is he motivating you & what nursing attachment? You really just need to move on from him. He clearly isn't interested or he would've made it

    one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    At least I'm not the only one who thinks it sounds stalker-ish. I agree. If he didn't respond to your message & he's upset let him go. He obviously isn't interested in you. Obsessing over him...

    I need help. =(

    That's really confusing. I don't get why they're having you go to an adult floor (especially when you state peds is your main weakness) when you work in the ER. Weird. Good

    one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    Wow. Wowwie wow wow. How old are you? You sound like you have a lot of growing up to do. Either drop out of nursing school (if your only reason to get in it was for him) or focus on it. If you've been...

    Second career nurses: what if you ended up not liking nursing?

    You can ask all the questions you want (which you clearly are). But you won't know if you like nursing unless you do

    I hope you can figure things out between work & school! I'm sure it will all come

    Able To Work Business Hours?

    As a previous poster said the clinicals are going to be 12 hours so you need to dedicate your time to school. Instead of bartending, why don't you look into CNA

    Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    I remember when I was working at a nursing home I was on my "break" (ha! What a joke). I was in the break room, just sat down, had my sandwich in my mouth & an aide came & got me. So I just...

    Able To Work Business Hours?

    When I was in my LVN program clinicals were during the weekday. I have read on here that there are noc clinicals. But it doesn't sounds like your school does them. You might have to cut down on work...

    Well no work place & no one is

    To tell or not to tell!

    Oh, I have to add. I was orienting on a PDN case & the nurse orienting me didn't like what I did. But instead of correcting me or talking to me, she went to our DON. Let me tell you I didn't stay...

    To tell or not to tell!

    I agree with everything you said, while work shouldn't be a popularity contest we can make it easier or difficult on ourselves to get along with our coworkers. If we keep bringing up to them every...

    To tell or not to tell!

    I live in a small city, with one hospital & I don't see them getting iPads. Where I've worked everything was ALWAYS at the nurses station, so sorry to pop your bubble. Not everything is updated to...

    Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    Yeah, I either didn't eat or had to scarf it down in a few minutes. Then I ate the same way at home. People were always telling me to calm down. Haha. Although it has helped since I had a

    To tell or not to tell!

    It's NOT a big if, the OP didn't state where the computers are. That is YOUR experience. NOT the OPs. My experience has been everything was at the nurses station. And unless you work with all of us...

    I would much rather have a smoother working environment then have everyone hate me, not want to help & avoid me because they think of me as a narc. Which will happen to this person if he does what...

    If the computer is at the nurses station & the public has no access to the computers then the patient is never

    To tell or not to tell!

    Wow. Really? You two should work together. There is a difference between being a patient advocate & being a tattle tale. If you worked with me & I accidentally left a patient screen up or meds...

    I got my LVN first because I wasn't sure if nursing was for me. Five years later I am. I'm glad I because an LVN first & not an RN. I was still very much immature & didn't keep a job for long....

    LPN/LVN, ADN, or BSN

    I would look into the ABSN (accelerate BSN) programs near you & then ask those questions. I'm sure there are people who have worked during their ABSN program. Good

    If you are still on orientation you have a lot to learn. Not everything is done by the book, there is not enough time in the day to do everything by the book. Of course in nursing school they teach...

    Oh I forgot to add, I live in a small town as well, no public transportation. I wouldn't feel bad to NOT give these two girls a ride unless they chipped in for gas or were at least

    I only said that because he would have a big target on his back & might lose his job. So unless he likes his job, he should go straight to the nurses committing the errors or not say anything. But...

    Unfrickenbelievable!

    I wanna say I'm shocked with the first one, but I'm not. I've heard of nurses doing that. The last PDN case I worked one of the nurses also took the patient to their
