    Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

    TU RN replied to HoneyBeGood's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The problem is that nursing school shelters us, especially the Bachelors programs, with the 2x 6-hour day clinicals with a long lunch and "post-conference." By long lunch I mean anything greater than...

    Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    TU RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have some bills to pay, but out of consideration for my career I am withholding on proposing to my girlfriend, planning our wedding, moving into our own apartment/home, and starting a family. We are...

    Why do aspiring CRNAs change their goals?

    TU RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    It seemed like at least 50% of my nursing school had CRNA in mind for their career goal. Even many of the new grads at my current position seem to hold true to this. Experienced nurses can attest to...

    Why not medicine?

    TU RN replied to msrxchef's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how many times doctors are asked "how come you didn't become a nurse?" Not that value has anything to do it, but I can't help but think there's some vision of a hierarchy in the backs of the...

    Visitor filming during code

    TU RN replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know, I think it depends on the details of the code and events leading up to it. In the end, if the code was run well and without negligence, there's nothing to worry about (unless some...

    So discouraged - a male RN working in a woman's world

    TU RN replied to forgop's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear ya man. I'm usually pretty busy for all 12 hours on my inpatient unit and normally it's my own fault, but it's just so easy and historically acceptable to blame women - so I do that

    Does Preferring to Work Night Shift mean you're lazy?

    No. And anyone who suggest otherwise should be ashamed of

    New RN; I want to quit my job already.

    TU RN replied to irishlynn5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't understand the "get off night shift" suggestions. I am also on night shift and many of the OP's complaints echo my own. Day shift is so much busier though. Wouldn't being blasted with the...

    New RN; I want to quit my job already.

    TU RN replied to irishlynn5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If someone dislikes bedside care, why should they avoid ER or ICU? While this is also considered "bedside care," it's very different from the type of care provided on a medsurg

    Regret

    TU RN replied to cpatobsn's topic in General Nursing

    I gave this a very brief look during nursing school. If CPA wasn't such a complete derailment from the education and knowledge-based of nursing (or any health-related field), I might pursue it. A nice...

    I notice nice veins!

    TU RN replied to 3rustlewood's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm almost 4 months in on my own after a 3 month orientation. My stress management is getting better, but it's very far from perfect. I feel like I can handle status declines better. Like a patients...

    Giving report

    TU RN replied to Caleb_RN225's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Checking the email, making several trips to the locker, BSing with everyone along the way. And of course it's when I have somewhere to be and I spent extra effort to get my crap done on time for

    Is it what you thought?

    Currently in the new grad disillusioned stage, but it's getting better. The nursing career is more stressful than nursing school was

    HELP! - Phlebotomy tips needed!!

    TU RN replied to kat620's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm always glad to get patients with healthy veins, but elated when I can still stick the hard ones. One pretty specific tip I've found, for phlebotomy only, is in obese female patients. Around the AC...

    Why do aspiring CRNAs change their goals?

    TU RN replied to TU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's sort of the whole point of this thread. For me to try and figure out why everybody who states they want to become CRNAs ends up not doing it. Maybe they will align with some of my own...

    Why do aspiring CRNAs change their goals?

    TU RN replied to TU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate every response so far. The point of this thread is for me to get an idea of why people choose not to go the CRNA route after getting some nursing experience after school. Hopefully some...

    Confused about how one year experience is calculated?

    TU RN replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure 1 year = 12 months, 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds, 1 ounce = 28 grams, 1 mole = 6.02x10^23 molecules, and 1.21 jigawatts of electricity are required to power the flux...

    Realities of stress and dissatisfaction in nursing.

    I used to do waterproofing with my dad before and during college for some extra money. Busting up concrete, digging trenches, hauling rocks/dirt/debris through tight quarters, putting in pumps, etc....
