  1. Would you say anything?

    Qing replied to Ambersmom's topic in General Nursing

    I would say something but being a little cautious of how people react, I would keep it to myself just because of liability issues. So we mean good, but not everyone will take it that way and its hard...

  2. Getting yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    Qing replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

    No, you are okay and the doctor was being a jerk. I would let it go and move on, but yes health care staff can be jerks and not reasonable. I wouldn't take it personally and he should not be yelling...

  3. Lost my husband on Holiday Break

    Qing replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I am so sorry for your loss. It is really untimely and I would give you a hug if I could. Is there any way to take some time off because its really fresh and you need time to grieve. Its hard to be...

  4. Rehab, feeding tubes, & constipation

    Qing replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    The pt is not ready for swallowing yet as they don't have the strength or have not passed the test yet. Is that what you are saying? Is the pain medication working for them and can they go on a lower...

  5. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    Qing replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital network does not have to use the same criteria for putting someone in the list of Do Not Rehire. And there are a variety of reasons or causes they can use to identify someone that falls...

  6. Experienced RN's cannot get new jobs!

    Qing replied to duca's topic in General Nursing

    Hey duca, I am sorry for what you are going through but agency can be an option, but you just don't have a set schedule and planning things is not easy. No guarantee for hours either. I don't know if...

  7. What is the grossest thing that's happened to you???

    Qing replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

    Patient throwing up feces. So lucky it never hit me but once the ng tube was in place... you saw the tube filling up with it and it smelled so bad I almost passed out. Anyways, pt had an obstruction...

  8. What is nursing like in Toronto?

    Qing replied to RGNonthemove's topic in Canada

    Hey there, I am from the GTA and its not easy. Full time jobs are not easy to come by right now, and even getting casual position is tough. Agency is an option, but I will warn you that having a...

  9. Passing nclex RN 3 yrs after graduating... need employment advice

    Qing replied to Bella2016's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wouldn't give up. The market is tough right and honestly, keep your head up high. Take what you can that is offered and then move up when the opportunity comes. I have had to ask my professors for a...

  10. Nurses change jobs because of stress and culture - not money

    Qing replied to ricard.garcia77's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have to agree because I had an experience I will never forget and eventually I changed jobs. It had nothing to do with money... all stress and culture. When you don't feel supported and the...

  11. Please help, this is complicated.

    Qing replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    You know losing your husband must be so hard and I don't blame you for working to work through it. However, you will have to face the grief and we will have different times when we are ready. It is...

  12. My coworker was high and got away with it

    Qing replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have any proof so leave it alone and you spoke too soon. Concrete proof is your best source and its not there. It will catch up to him and one time may not be evident but over time, it will...

  13. Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

    Qing replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    I think you got placed in CV ICU for a reason and really do not worry about that classmate. If its not meant for her, then it will show very soon. Focus on your own skills and that you are in a good...

  14. Workplace gossip

    Qing replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

    I agree with the others and it really doesn't matter where you go or work. There will be all this gossip clique or people who just have to talk about others. You came to work and so as long you do...

  15. Any University of Manitoba Nursing Grads have their California RN license?

    Qing replied to mack31's topic in Travel

    I don't know if this helps but the travel nursing agency should be able to help? I am a Canadian that was working in the US and someone told me it might be easier to get the California license through...

  16. Travel Nursing- Connetics USA

    Qing posted a topic in Travel

    Just reaching out and needing some information. I did go to a job fair a while back ( several years ago). I am new to travel nursing and have not made my mind up on it yet whether I want to go through...

  17. Job offer..Is it worth the commute??

    Qing replied to nursebetty24's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Based on reading this, I say that you may regret it. I find that part of salary non negotiable a red flag. You should get back the money and time you spend for commute so unless everything is written...

  18. Travel Nursing- Connetics USA

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in Travel

    Thanks for the good information as I really did not have a lot about them. I have a few others I am looking at but this one seems to be pushing a lot. It was made clear I was not a hundred percent...

  19. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    Qing replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly, the way you came off asking those questions did make you look questionable. Its okay to ask questions but you just have to judge who you are dealing with. Some preceptors will undermine you...

  20. ER rushing patients to the floor

    Qing replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Not trying to justify the ER, but the ratio really fluctuates and one minute you have 5 patients and next thing could be a serious trauma that really needs to be dealt with. Also, many times you get...

  21. Should I self report?

    Qing replied to Sunnywd's topic in General Nursing

    No, I wouldn't self report. Actually, you never did anything wrong but mark it down in a journal and make sure you have legal counsel available if you need it. The board has to look at the whole...

  22. Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    Qing replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    There must be a reason for that order. We cannot assume that he or she does not know what she is doing. Perhaps looking at their record and medical history it may help you understand why that order is...

  23. Relocated from NYC to Missouri to be denied a license please help

    Qing replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem is that you did not complete the approved the RN program. I think you need to look into your nursing program and also the licensing board to find out how to deal with

  24. New RN's: Is it normal to help your preceptor with all their patients tasks

    Qing replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    It is normal and we all have to go through that while we transition from a new nurse just graduated from school. Also whenever we change jobs and start a new one we have orientation and most likely a...

  25. Should I intervene?

    Qing replied to Sinkorswim's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Stay out of both situations because you re going to get into very sticky situations. I think management should be let in on this, and monitor it, but its not your place to step in. Protect yourself...
