    TU RN replied to shniter008's topic in General Nursing

    "General Nursing Discussion" forum under "General Nurses" is the most popular thread on AN and while the topics posted vary greatly, there are many good perspectives on professional issues, pro/con...

    Inherit the Wind redux

    TU RN replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    The "enlightenment" Darrow references at the end there has nothing to do with birth control, but nice job taking a single word out of the context of an entire quote to make the lamest of lame...

    I dread going to work- not a new grad. Has this happened to anyone else?

    TU RN replied to Ativan's topic in General Nursing

    I've got 1 year, but I don't think it takes 10 years of trudging along in a bedside RN position to realize that you're going to get dumped on, you're going to be overworked, and you really have to...

    Most challenging nursing department

    TU RN replied to rose89's topic in General Nursing

    PCU is pretty stressful in that the acuity is high and the turnover is fast. Si no suda no esta trabajando! Two brands of patients IMO: 1. as someone else said they are too sick for the floor but just...

    From nurse to a doctor

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

    I tried taking one class towards medical school while working full time night shift as a nurse and it wasn't easy. I was exhausted all the time. A few times I had no choice but to go to a 8am class...

    Nursing or Speech Pathology

    TU RN replied to MBAnursearizona's topic in General Nursing

    Also ask yourself how much time you want to spend with a patient(s) in a given day, and what tasks you're performing in that given time. Where a nurse performs a variety of tasks for a small group of...

    Well here's something I didn't think about: secondhand pot smoke?

    TU RN replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    "I don't smoke pot, indulge in drugs, or hijack cars or rob banks." I see those DARE commercials worked for you then. Just to give you some sound information to fuel your abstinence. Smoking weed will...

    TU RN replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my god why does this forum always get so bent out of shape about ganj. Smoke some and relax. I promise it won't kill

    TU RN replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A coworker of mine had a patient blow heroine before. I don't know how it got past the initial belongings inventory. Heroine addiction is an epidemic where I live and work. The topic sort of reminds...

    Have you ever had the feeling your employer was looking for a reason to fire you

    TU RN replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure how the workplace dynamics of a PRN job are, but sometimes I feel like the politics/changes in business on my floor are designed with the intention of burning workers out. No reason why...

    Do you hear nurses will take over respiratory work?

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

    I was trained to/could do the job of the RTs, but having them around is surely helpful for when I have to sit and document the mountains of crap that nobody will ever look

    How to get tincture of Benzoin out of clothes

    TU RN replied to marciakhimes's topic in General Nursing

    I have a suspicion that tincture of benzoin, being an alcohol-based solution, would dissolve well in alcohol. Like dissolves

    Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    TU RN replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If registered nurse had "tags" like when you post a YouTube video or a thread on this forum, I have a feeling words like "cost," "expense," "reimbursement," "customer service," "budget," "money,"...

    Really horrible working conditions with NO support

    TU RN replied to squatsandPB's topic in General Nursing

    As has been said already, they get paid more because they don't receive the benefits of the other full time staff. That is usually no health insurance, no place in the company's retirement plans, no...

    Really horrible working conditions with NO support

    TU RN replied to squatsandPB's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work there's one floor that's notorious for dumping on its pulled nurses. It's med-surg so the clinical conditions are more tame, and the assessments, VS, and documentation are all less...

    Is it me or nursing?

    TU RN replied to c.kelly20's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Guess it depends on how many 10-15 year RNs you've seen still capable of being completely stressed and demoralized by certain assignments. All this shows me is there is no being completely in control...

    Uncertain about Nursing

    TU RN replied to daetor2012's topic in General Nursing

    "My only wish is to help other people in their time of need, I don't particularly care about the money or job opportunities." Then why not become a trash man? Collect people's trash in their time of...

    Nasty nurses

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

    There are plenty of miserable, unhelpful, burnt out people persisting in nursing despite reaching their limit and breaking years ago. Now they struggle day by day to get their paychecks and pay their...

    Is it me or nursing?

    TU RN replied to c.kelly20's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is probably true, yet how many nurses have reached the 5 year mark (or 10 year, 15 year, 20 year mark) and still felt that nursing wasn't for them/were miserable? They would tell you the same...
