  1. Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my family and I do enjoy the finer things... We eat nothing but the finest gourmet meals that Perkins can serve, our children are dressed in nothing but the finest designer clothes that their...

  2. "I DEMAND an antibiotic. I am the customer and I am paying your salary"

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Nascar nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm SURE that daughter was a DOCTOR and probably knew EXACTLY what she was screeching about! I would have said to her "oh why yes, I shall summon the good doctor and request of him a pill, and...

  3. LVN to RN...finally.

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Nancynurse1983's topic in LPN to RN

    When I went through my LPN to RN program, our first 3 months were devoted to a transtion course, after which we would join up with the traditional students. We were in with the Paramedic to RN...

  4. Same patient's over and over again

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to MattNurse's topic in General Nursing

    "I need to poop. Will you help me poop. If Chuck Norris were here he would make me poop- he would kick the c**p out of

  5. Same patient's over and over again

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to MattNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes yes yes! We have had people get discharged, go outside, have a smoke and come back in howling that they're in 10/10 pain- wait, no- THEY CAN'T BREATHE...actually, it's more like, um...CHEST PAIN!...

  6. Minnesota hospital drops debt collector firm they hired

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Ruas61's topic in General Nursing

    "Fairview issued a brief statement Tuesday saying it has cooperated with Swanson and shares her concerns about the practices. Fairview announced that it has dropped Accretive as its revenue manager,...

  7. St. Kate's worth the cost?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to sejones's topic in General Nursing

    I think the low pass rates concern their BSN program- I knew someone who had to take the NCLEX 3 times before she passed and she went to Kates. There have been other things I've "heard tell" but since...

  8. Has Nursing hardened you?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'll admit I'm jaded and a little hardened too- take a look around you at what we are surrounded by: --Big shot CEO's making policies that pull the rug out from underneath us and screw us over,...

  9. Newly employed ADN nurses please read!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to AlexFutureMD's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It wasn't easy for me to find a job, but that could have been several factors: a nursing strike that happened two weeks after I graduated, finding out I was pregnant two weeks BEFORE I graduated, and...

  10. YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    I'd let them do whatever was legal. One must learn somehow,

  11. Pushed Around..

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know...I haven't experienced a code yet, which is odd considering I work on a cardiac floor, and I've been there a year now. I just hear tell. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying in the least...

  12. Did I get "too excited" too soon?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    You never get away from your med pass for this....? Let us see how this would sound in my workplace: "Oh, I am so sorry Mr. Jones, your wife went into v-tach, then fib, then croaked...well, yes I saw...

  13. So what can we expect from you?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    You can expect me to do my best to help you, however, you can also expect that I won't know all the answers because I'm still learning as well. You can expect that although I don't do things just like...

  14. Pushed Around..

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is your role? Are you an RN, LPN, CNA? What did she do after she pushed your arm out of the way? I have been told that in a code, it's nothing but a mass of pushing, shoving, and flying arms and...

  15. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    Honestly I never heard about needing CNA experience in order to be hired. In fact, the majority of the people I went to nursing school with were either CNA's (or PCA's, CST, PCT...whatever) LPN's or...

  16. Feeling discouraged :'(

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Holland4500's topic in General Nursing

    And you know what else? I haven't even had to call an RR on my patient and I haven't even witnessed a code, let alone had my own patient code (now that I've said it...) so you're one up on me, I'm...

  17. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    Shoot, I was an LPN for almost 5 years and the nurse recruiter flat out told me that LPN experience doesn't count nor

  18. Too Good to be true!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to MajesticRN's topic in General Nursing

    Delegation is an RN task, so I don't know if that's their fancy way of saying you have to be an RN? School nurses often have heath para's (paraprofessionals) working under them, and the school nurse...

  19. Feeling discouraged :'(

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Holland4500's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like me. I have been where I am now- cardiac- for a year and just had my evaluation and was pleasantly surprised to find that I'm doing just great. BUT, I'm telling you, when I first started...

  20. what would you do in my situation? Please read and assist!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't quit anything until you're 100% sure you have that hospital job. I mean like you have the job offer letter in your hand specifically stating you have the job in writing. I've seen too many...

  21. What do I say to rude patients?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    But in this age of "customer service" oriented hospital care, I would be inclined to believe that if a nurse were to defend herself that he/she would be swiftly terminated. After all, it MUST have...

  22. Burned out from floor nursing, need advice, please..

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to frazzled2012's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think he was saying he was getting into nursing to convert people. He is trying to live Christ-like through his actions- after all, Jesus was a healer, he was good to all people he came in...

  23. New Grad

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to bugbugrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, I pretty much said to heck with recruiters and HR after a year of all the baloney and I just took my resume to the nurse manager. I know that too can be a big no-no, but at that point I was...

  24. New Grad

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to bugbugrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A lot of times the e-mails are automated so I wouldn't put much stock in them. If the person you know said they'd be calling, then just let nature take it's course. I played this game for a year...

  25. Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

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

    They say they're a GREAT nurse because nursing is (c'mon everyone, say it together) their DREEEEAAAMMM!!! And if you follow your DREAAAAAMMMM, and BELIEVE in yourself, you can do ANYTHING!!! OH FOR...
