  1. Would you do it over again?

    Selfie replied to tabibuwako1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, I would. Even though I have had ups and downs in my career, the good has outweighed the bad. I'm now back in a job I

  2. Nurses are Not Doctors

    Selfie replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    HotHamWater, whomever you are, you have only lost credibility for your team. Now, it seems you are only badgering the NPs here that are doing exactly what YOU physicians (or physicians to be) have...

    Thanks for the link, and for CRNAs- at least they have SOME bedside experience

  4. Nurses are Not Doctors

    Selfie replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    MD2B- I don't know why you guys are here arguing your case to people who can't do anything about this- And have no interest in changing anything. It would be like me complaining to my coworkers about...

  5. Nurses are Not Doctors

    Selfie replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of all of the drugs that went through extensive testing/research/trials and were once proven to be safe and effective, and are now pulled from the market. I know this isn't popular...

    Selfie replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    Good Job, OP. Glad you got back on the horse. Good story-especially for those that can be too hard on

  7. Nurses are Not Doctors

    Selfie replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I may have somewhat agreed until I read the recent debate on here- beside nursing vs. non bedside nursing NP's: the thought that NP's do not need to practice at the bedside first, as they do not...

  8. Need Advice - Conflict of Interest?

    Selfie replied to orscrubcutie1's topic in Operating Room

    No. I'm a discharge coordinator in the hospital. My days in the OR were as a special care nurse; attending all OR deliveries. I wouldn't do it just because the surgeons wanted me there. I'd probably...

  9. Need Advice - Conflict of Interest?

    Selfie replied to orscrubcutie1's topic in Operating Room

    I wouldn't do it. I would feel bad if something went wrong. If you are there, and something does goes wrong, you may be forever explaining and answering to your friend and family members what...

  10. Laying off RNs

    Selfie replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think it's coming. My last CEO (of a major hospital in my city)- notified us in one of his yearly meetings with staff- that was going to be the trend and would take place in the next several...

  11. Moving to MS, worried about salary

    Selfie replied to AprilShowers2's topic in General Nursing

    You can google a cost of living calculator to compare. It will calculate city and state current comparison costs. One calculator is- Bankrate.com- cost of living

    Selfie replied to eaus's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I hope it works out! If I had 2 1/2 years left, I'd be doing hopscotch on the way to

  13. Need Help and advice.

    Selfie replied to rn1116's topic in General Nursing

    Why did your clinical manager know about your prescriptions? There is no reason that your manager would EVER need to know what meds you are taking. You should have an employee health department...

  15. if you hate nursing, what would you rather do instead?

    Selfie replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I don't hate nursing, but i hate the bureaucracy. I'd leave nursing to: 1. Own my own cafe- I'd make homemade meals/desserts, and have a regular clientele- like in the movie It Could Happen to...

  16. forgetfulness and work anxiety

    Selfie replied to eaus's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi. I just read your other post- that stated you need to work 2 and 1/2 more years. I think just the action of making some type of move will start to make you feel better. If you are staying in...

  17. Disappointing RN salary in Phoenix

    Selfie replied to vikichck's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know what we can do about it- I have taken 2 pay cuts with my last 2 positions. Both job changes were to move from dysfunction to better jobs, while at the same time keeping day shift M-F...

  18. How will a "General Discharge" from the military affect my chances of employment?

    Selfie replied to NationalGuardNurse's topic in Government, Military

    Your post is so thoughtful and well-written. I would not for one minute hesitate to hire you. As a matter of fact, your resume would be closer to the top of the pile if it was as well-written as...

  19. am i reasonably resigning?

    Selfie replied to wakeuptothesun86's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would immediately speak with the manager about cutting my hours back to part time while I looked for another job. Maybe you can do three 8 hour shifts until you find something

  20. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    Selfie replied to hope4ccns's topic in General Students

    I agree- I think the OP is lucky the nurse didn't report her to her instructor- and then to add- "why did you become a nurse?" really??? Depending on what I had going on that day, and it sounds...

    Selfie replied to RedNavy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi. Just tell them this is why you went into nursing. Let them know you are willing to learn and work in any area- some will want you to cross train. Thank them for the opportunity to interview. I...

  22. manager refusing comp time, and other issues

    HOU TX: I think that Ruby was trying to make a point about the clear distinction between exempt and hourly worker classifications - as outlined in FLSA (Federal Law). Truly exempt staff don't get...

  23. Field CM Agencies?

    Selfie replied to nurse8019's topic in Case Management

    Grn Tea, Do you know the governing agency for worker's comp and health insurance? Where would one report an agency for dubious practices

  24. Patient Families

    Selfie replied to 1fastRN's topic in Emergency

    This is why I no longer have the patience to do bedside nursing. I would have politely said: Ma'am, your doctor wants you on telemetry. I'll come back to put the leads on when you're off the phone....
