  1. No job post ER internship

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Male2017RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would list it on my resume, and if recruiters ask why it didn't materialize into a job offer, you can be honest and say exactly what you wrote here. You didn't have a steady preceptor, they were...

  2. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I avoid the whole thing and say Lopressor cause I hear it pronounced so differently from so many people. I personally pronounce it as meh-TOP-pro-lull (emphasizing the last L) but I hear people say...

  3. Getting a non-nursing job?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to TNViking's topic in General Nursing

    It's a slippery slope, cause it seems like you already hate nursing (bedside, at least), so once you are in a non nursing job that may not pay as well but offers that peace of mind you are seeking,...

  4. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

  5. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Patient's rights are posted everywhere. If they do not want you as a nurse, they have the option to request a different nurse. The reason for doing so may not jive with you, but you are the one who's...

  6. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    No, that was expected of her. The patient being a 4 day post op doesn't even matter. She came in for N/V, meaning she was a new admission. A full head to toe assessment is absolutely required in...

  7. Nursing Director removed my pts restraints

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Your director is your textbook A-hole. She let the restraints loose. She then proceeded to leave the pt unattended, knowing full well that he was a danger to himself and others. Then had the...

  8. Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Actually it wasn't always that username, hence the ensuing dialogue that you quoted. OP changed her screen name, or rather, was asked to change her screen name by mods per the rules of the

  9. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    Educated guess? With less years of experience, I'm willing to bet those BSN's probably haven't seen it all, or are not 100% proficient in their practice. Case in point: I had a patient whose port...

  10. Obtaining Consent and Confrontation With Physician

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to rn21191's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately that is tolerated at my place. If your manager is a corporate slave and only sides with the powers that be, you are out of

  11. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    Those are the nurses who run away from the profession once they realize what a monster the system is, and the memes and humorous stuff can't chase the reality away anymore. Fortunately not all of us...

  12. WGU or Chamberlain???

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to LA.RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I ultimately did not choose WGU for the GPA reason. I'm obsessed with trying to get a 4.0 and I couldn't do it with my ADN, so I would need something to allow me to do it for my

  13. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Actually it is their right to know. If they don't want a black male gay nurse, that is their right. How do they know that you're male? they can look at you, they can ask you. How do they know you're...

  14. Was I accepted into nursing school for being a male

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Big_Mike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Actually, when it comes to affirmative action, being Asian is not advantageous to

  15. Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    actually a mod will reach out to you about that. I was nuguynurse and I was told (back then) since I wasn't a nurse yet, my screen name had to change. Now that I am a nurse, I don't need the "2b" but...

  16. New Grad feeling like I can't do anything right!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ashrnbsn12's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody is asking for false reassurance, if that's what you're trying to say. The mistakes can be addressed, but if the patients did not suffer any adverse effects from said mistakes, the new nurse...

  17. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    If there were laws about staffing, you probably wouldn't need a

  18. New Grad feeling like I can't do anything right!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ashrnbsn12's topic in General Nursing

    Where did I say that it's not serious? Of course if the patients weren't fine she should be aware of it, but if the patients did not have any serious issues because of her mistakes, why shouldn't she...

  19. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like you've been out of the trenches for so long you've forgotten what it's even like, so your experience isn't relative to the

  20. Socially needy coworkers

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    There's one in every

  21. New Grad feeling like I can't do anything right!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ashrnbsn12's topic in General Nursing

    Your problem isn't the fact that you're new and making mistakes, it's that the people who are guiding you aren't being supportive enough. Yeah you forgot to mix the antibiotics, and they told you you...

  22. Med error :(

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to grace567's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how this could even happen. It's obvious the MAR should be fixed, but how it managed to just list the dose as a tablet instead of the...

  23. Seniority

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to lexyrn71's topic in General Nursing

    This. People who cling to the seniority model want to pick and choose when and where their seniority should apply, and when it doesn't. Our floor has horrible turnover and nobody wants to take the...

  24. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    Well seeing that you joined Sept 2017, I think you need to read the rules of the forum. And once again, nobody's talking post ops and "this other out there stuff" I supposedly (ie, you misread)

  25. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    In *my* example, the patient was not a post op. You are talking about a completely different scenario to counter what I'm saying. If your patient is a post op and you are not assessing them, even I...
