    What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    TU RN replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good opportunity to ask: do any other ISTJs dislike nursing or is it just me? Is the MBTI perhaps not a a valid indicator of job satisfaction? I just got back from an official MBTI...

    Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    TU RN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    I make $30/hr +3/hr nights +$3/hr weekends, 14 months experience. This is equal to or greater than what my other non-nursing friends make. I don't really see them anymore considering I'm on full time...

    For all INFP personality types only

    TU RN replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad to see other MBTI-conscious people out there. I also wish I knew about MBTI before I decided on being a nurse, cuz as an ISTJ it is not turning out to be a satisfying choice. I think it comes...

    Before I enter Nursing School....

    TU RN replied to DagnyT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should look into sonography (ultrasound). It will probably cost you less than nursing, does have Bachelor degree programs, and has comparable starting pay and expected job growth as nursing...

    Press Release - allnurses Survey Says Nurses are Bullish on the Industry Outlook

    TU RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    After reading many threads on this website about negative perceptions of nursing, burnout, inability to find work, workplace issues, understaffing, lack of respect, et cetera -- and the numerous posts...

    UNDERWEAR (Yes, underwear)

    TU RN replied to nycnurse92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While this is probably the case for most men (particularly the ones who grew up as athletes in school and bros at home, with all the accompanying male camaraderie and affinity for "guy stuff"), I have...

    The ethics of cost for cure vs noncompliance.

    TU RN replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but feel that the noncompliant are a drag on healthcare. As classicdame said, people who often have the means to pay for medication are also noncompliant for their own reasons. They are...

    UNDERWEAR (Yes, underwear)

    TU RN replied to nycnurse92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's nothing wrong with this situation. If he's not being sexually inappropriate and just having a casual conversation with you it's normal. I would count myself lucky that I don't have to wade...

    What Keeps Nurses Up at Night?

    TU RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Patience is more becoming of a nurse than it is of a patient, strangely enough. As uRNmyway says you could bend over backwards for some patience to get them right, educate them, and send them home.....

    Was it always this way?

    TU RN replied to Wheels28's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses used to take care of many more patients than we do now, granted healthcare has gotten a bit more complicated as medicine has. Nursing understaffing has led to a great many complications,...

    Do RT's ever help you with bedside nursing?

    TU RN replied to Nursetobe25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In PCU they cover our floor pretty closely at my facility (not everyone can boast of this). I once had a respiratory therapist safely help my COPDer (amidst a pretty awful exacerbation) out of bed and...

    Starting to find some aspects degrading

    TU RN replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We're nurses. We notice when a patient isn't breathing and start CPR/initiate the code. We communicate critical information through the right channels to get patients the care they need. We put IV...

    how to suction a NG feeding patient who aspirated

    TU RN replied to treeye's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    14 French (the kind you would use for endotracheal suctioning) nasotracheally. Don't forget to lubricate and it definitely helps to have a trumpet. If the patient has a cough and gag this is...

    Drug Testing for Newly Graduated RN

    TU RN replied to ManNurse7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well if my original comment wasn't removed, you would see that I wasn't telling him to dilute, and that I was in fact telling him to "exercise and drink lots of water" as any quality healthcare...

    Drug Testing for Newly Graduated RN

    TU RN replied to ManNurse7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If the act of advising somebody to simply exercise and drink water (that is, very normal, daily activities that any nurse should recommend to the average person) can be construed as "skewing...

    Drug Testing for Newly Graduated RN

    TU RN replied to ManNurse7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I advise the person to "exercise and drink lots of water" and it's a TOS violation? You sure you're a nurse traumarus? Or are you just mad because I followed that up with an opinionated statement you...

    Your Specialty & Why

    TU RN replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    I actually dreaded my pediatrics rotation in nursing school before I even did it, then absolutely loved it once I had it. I imagine I'd like it as a nurse too, but there was no hope for getting such a...

    Already employed but what to start applying

    TU RN replied to Nurselala8's topic in General Nursing

    The consensus of the nursing community's problems remain to be shortstaffing, overworking, and underpaying. I've been in the unfortunate position to miss my break (over the course of my 12-13 hour...

    Problem with blood draws..

    TU RN replied to psmithlove's topic in General Nursing

    Generally you access the vein with one hand (getting the flashback), then push the test tube into the vacutainer with your other hand (drawing the blood). Sometimes during the ambidextrous process of...
