  1. "It's Not That Special --

    Nola009 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    :roflmao:You crack me up... My answer is: When I saw allnurses dot com, I took it to mean ALL nurses can chime in, because we're one big crazy family that can hopefully, generally understand and help...

  2. Every time I work at my SNF there's an expired pain med order

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    :up:True.... I was looking for SNF because it's a little different than LTC. Will move it

  3. Job Offer...Help!!!

    Nola009 replied to Dassit82's topic in Nursing Career

    Say 'I'm still interested, but considering other offers as well. I need to have some more time to decide, as I have other job offers on the table. Would you be willing to allow me more time here?' (If...

  4. Does it get better being a new nurse?

    Nola009 replied to telealli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You will improve with time and practice. May I ask how your employer got you to sign a 3-yr contract? You said they didn't provide much of an orientation phase. Did they give you a bonus

  5. Do you hear nurses will take over respiratory work?

    Nola009 replied to SeekingNewCareer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They are very knowledgeable in their area of expertise. My dad is an RRT, and I would've followed suit, but he advised me to go the RN route for monetary and job flexibility

  6. Do you hear nurses will take over respiratory work?

    Nola009 replied to SeekingNewCareer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I haven't heard that. Is it because people aren't smoking cigs and crack as much as they used to? So there isn't as much of a need for their specific

  7. I Hope No One Hires You

    Nola009 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Based on what you have said, your facility seems pretty nice. I'm just not the type of person to pass judgement and diminish another human being by calling them a creep, idiot, or whatever. Especially...

  8. in over my head

    Nola009 replied to loveyournurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my area, hospice and home health won't hire new grad nurses. They require 1-2 yrs experience as a nurse! Maybe you should look for another

  9. Money isnt everything. Ready to quit SNF as RN Supervisor

    Nola009 replied to RedNavy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yuck. Just get out. I know I couldn't work under those

  10. I Hope No One Hires You

    Nola009 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ...and I can see how that behavior makes it hard for the rest of us. I just want some orientation when I start a job, but get thrown to the wolves instead. It's cheaper that

  11. I Hope No One Hires You

    Nola009 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Maybe they just can't handle whatever it is that has them leaving. Maybe they feel it's unsafe for them or for the residents, have tried to let management know (or assume they don't care) and feel...

  14. Base pay of RN BSN in LTC

    Nola009 replied to RNinject's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I live in the midwest and that's about what it is here. I think it's low too, but it is what it

  15. Photo on a resume?

    Nola009 replied to AdventureLover's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As of yet, I haven't done it but I heard it's the newest thing to

  16. Grammar Police

    Nola009 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I understand --- I mostly try not to use txt speak when txting my boss or coworkers. Then again, I believe in not making a huge effort or show to NOT fit in, ya know? So, I do use some of it just like...

  17. Demanding family members

    Nola009 replied to PerfectlyNumb's topic in Emergency

    Well, these are the same people who probably cuss out the BK drive-thru order taker when they don't recite back their long-winded, complicated "MY WAY RIGHT AWAY" burger, verbetim. OR, the kind who...

  18. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    Nola009 replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh my goodness, that is so scary and so sad. That poor man. I guess I'm thankful that the worst I've seen so far is nurses pre

  19. What's considered "Job-Hopping" in nursing?

    Nola009 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    .... Would you say that nursing has a highe tolerance for Job-Hopping? Is there a higher acceptance of this when it comes to new grad nurses, as they are 'finding their niche'?? Just wondering, bc I...

  20. Survey to see if you can interact with clients

    Nola009 replied to tytkhat's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, sorry to hear that. Sounds to me like any of those options would have been acceptable. The only thing is, I guess employers have so many people to choose from now, that they must figure some...

  21. Should I put it on my resume?

    Nola009 replied to Nightowl_lpn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Mmmm, *I* probably wouldn't, but you need to do what you think is

  22. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    Nola009 replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you did attack me and it looks like that WAS your original intention. Thanks for your apology all the same. Your post did strike a nerve in me and I will quickly explain why -- It is all too...

  23. Nurses selling at work?

    Nola009 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, my preceptor's big thing was 31. I was with her for 2 weeks and she approached me to buy a good 5 times. I found the whole thing annoying, plus I didn't see anything I was willing to spend...
