    You know what REALLY annoys me? When I have to stay late and I have to come back to work the next

  2. What's in your nurse bag?

    j0yegan replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I just carry a regular purse. It's big so I can bring all my stuff. As a new nurse, I'd carry all the papers that were given to me so I can refer back to them (or turn them in if they're orientee...

  3. RN to BSN Is It Worth It?

    j0yegan replied to TeriSD's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly....... I felt exactly the same when I got my BSN. It was like a repeat of the ADN courses I took. I don't believe at all that a BSN makes you a better nurse. Now, to employers, it looks good...

  5. Floating from postpartum

    j0yegan posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you work on postpartum (mother/baby), do you get floated? If so, where? I feel like you shouldn't be floated to L&D because that's an entirely different environment where so many complications...

  6. Floating from postpartum

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. Giving report

    j0yegan replied to Caleb_RN225's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd get there early to prepare and sometimes I'd have the nurse keep bothering me to get report way before 7...

  8. I finally did it!

    j0yegan replied to geekynurseRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, the interview was like other interviews I've had. You can't really talk about a specialty that you have no experience with. It's basically how you handle patients, co-workers, and just...

  9. How many 12 hour shifts per week

    j0yegan replied to Bouncyball's topic in General Nursing

  10. Never been charge.

    j0yegan replied to RNikkiF's topic in General Nursing

    I know nurses that have way more experience than you and do not charge. I think it's a completely different role where you need to be trained anyways. Just because you have a certain amount of...

  11. I finally did it!

    j0yegan replied to geekynurseRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nice! Congrats!! I got my dream job in the mother/baby unit pretty fast, too. I worked really hard to get that job! It feels amazing. I have been looking at my old textbook and looking up notes online...

  12. WHY do I need a BSN?

    j0yegan replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In the BSN program, you're honestly just repeating the same classes you took in the ADN program. If the programs are so different, why make them take the same exact board exam in the end? Case in...

  13. Giving report

    j0yegan replied to Caleb_RN225's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are you talking about things like preparing for the shift... getting papers and supplies ready? If so, some nurses like to do that beforehand because once you give report and see the patients, A LOT...

  14. Confused about how one year experience is calculated?

    j0yegan replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying that people are telling her not to apply at all. That was just additional information I was giving her, that's all... and that she should be HONEST and put the dates of her employment...

  15. offered day shift...help!

    j0yegan replied to minniemickey23's topic in Nursing Career

    Congrats on making your decision! I think you will learn a lot in day shift, especially how to manage your time because a lot happens. Besides, if someday you want to try night shift, I'm sure you can...

  16. documentation

    j0yegan replied to mstere's topic in General Nursing

    If you are unable to change anything, just make a nurse note / SOAP note / narrative

  17. Realities of stress and dissatisfaction in nursing.

    j0yegan replied to Danfrombham's topic in Health, Stress Management

    What specifically is it about my career do I find to be unbearably stressful? Being short-staffed and not having the resources we need to care for people's lives, having the entire world depend on you...

  18. Confused about how one year experience is calculated?

    j0yegan replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    Are you working at a nursing home? It sounds like it. Anyways, whatever you decide to do, I would put the dates you have worked on your resume (hey, you're being honest). Let your future employers...

  19. offered day shift...help!

    j0yegan replied to minniemickey23's topic in Nursing Career

    I just want to say... don't be concerned about your relationship with your boyfriend, family, and friends. When you work nights, you still get to spend time with them! If you think about it, you work...

  23. New to Med-Surg nursing

    j0yegan replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Do NOT be afraid to ask questions. It is better to be safe than sorry. And keep a notepad where you write down all of the answers to your questions. It's always a good idea to have something you can...

  24. Best white scrub pants

    j0yegan replied to chavezm1109's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That's why I always try to stay away from white pants. I would just suggest wearing shorts or something else underneath

  25. SCRUBS for petite women?

    j0yegan replied to LaceElaine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Koi, Cherokee, Grey's Anatomy, and Dickies are great brands for petite women. But the pants will always be too long. You can try shortening/hemming the pants yourself though! Saved me at least
