  1. Inane scripting

    holliewood replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work on a unit that had pods A-I. Would usually answer "Pod B, this is XXX." One time I was charge, so I was making rounds. The phone was ringing when I walked in, and I was the closest...

  2. Is this compassion fatigue?

    holliewood replied to thevez17's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar situation in the neonatal ICU. I worked overnight, and had to "sleep" in the hospital that day due to a hurricane. I might have slept 3 hours. The first night I took care of a baby...

  3. Scrubs: Are Colorful Ones Unprofessional?

    holliewood replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My first nursing job was in a children's hospital. Prints reigned supreme! I was always more of a solids fan, but I was always impressed by the nurses who could pull off professional in a Dora the...

  4. Call Back Pay and Overtime Hours

    holliewood replied to bjessop's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital counts any hours worked towards your 40 hours. So, 72 hours would get me 32 hours of overtime that week in addition to any incentives they offered. I'd be exhausted and rich :) I'd be...

    Disclaimer: This is a rant I work in a medium-volume labor and delivery unit. I came on shift to a patient who had delivered about 90 minutes before I got there. Mom hadn't been out of bed yet, and...

    holliewood replied to joyful_wanderer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had surgery recently at a different hospital from where I work. My plan was to not mention being a nurse unless I was directly asked what I did for a living or where I work. Not 10 minutes after I...

  10. Interview related question

    holliewood posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am trying to gather opinions about an interview etiquette question. I am an RN with a BSN and 8 years experience in critical care. I am trying to change jobs, and for many personal and professional...

  11. Has anyone ever look down on you because you are a nurse

    holliewood replied to dulcet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My mother does not respect nurses at all. She has chronic health problems and is grossly non-compliant with everything, so she's a "frequent flier" at her local ED and urgent care. I stop listening...

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to apply for Class 128 (Frontier Bound in August). I was just double checking my transcripts and realized that my undergrad physical assessment class was only 1 credit. My...

    holliewood replied to holliewood's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm applying to the MSN+DNP program. I'm within the 10 years for my stats class, just wasn't sure if it was a high enough level class. I've emailed the admissions people, but I'm freaking myself out...
