  1. What is your dream unit?

    NOADLS replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

    "You only needed to lose 10 more pounds to make the cover of that magazine." I think LTC is ideal for me. I don't really have to do much and I get paid better than the average RN. 8 hour shifts >...

  2. If I am getting CNA training through an LTC I am working for, would it look bad to leave?

    NOADLS replied to natswe23's topic in General Nursing

    Your resume will not tell anyone that you've bailed on the LTC facility after they've paid for your education (unless you decide to put it on your resume). It would be courtesy to stay there since...

  3. Starting in LTC?

    NOADLS replied to theviolinist's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of nurses don't respect LTC and think that not using your skills regularly means that you are wasting them. Meanwhile, those nurses that want to be working at a hospital are probably doing...

  4. Nursing Hell.

    NOADLS replied to tinbon434's topic in General Nursing

    The question should be "why is a CNA a floor supervisor?" There is nothing stopping a facility from making a CNA a floor supervisor. It might not sound good, or be attractive to nurses working there,...

  5. Late arriving Nurses

    NOADLS replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Question for those of you attending to call lights of the late nurse: who's responsibility is it if that call light continues to go unattended? If it were the nurse that is late, why bother answering...

  6. So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?

    NOADLS replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Anything I can pass off for when I am playing

  7. When celebs stop by to say hi

    NOADLS replied to adventure_rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This isn't child exploitation. This is very similar to calling constructive criticism "bullying" or referring toilet seat etiquette as "sexual harassment." You want child exploitation? Child slave...

  8. Overweight

    NOADLS replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I commend all of you hard working souls on the effort you take to stay in shape through healthy diet and exercise. I simply can't put the effort into that. Yet my figure is shockingly average. I just...

  9. What if nursing doesn't work?

    NOADLS replied to snow22's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you aren't getting paid. If you can't cope with it, you've got to go back to school for something. Nursing is so diverse that there has got to be something...

  10. Side business ideas for nurses

    NOADLS replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The trick is to use metaphors and abbreviations. Not everyone out there can immediately identify what "p4p" stands for. And a nice lady needs 300 "roses" from a kind

  11. Part time nights or full time days with infant

    NOADLS replied to NICU~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Less work (by way of hours) and same pay either way. Simple decision. Also consider that you are only working two days in a row. You aren't bound to a day to day schedule as much as you would think...

  12. Overweight

    NOADLS replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If you stay in this field as long as you have, you're bound to gain weight eating the young

  13. Full time or Casual

    NOADLS replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you're set for life, steady income and knowing your schedule ahead of time is much better than the

  14. Are ER Patients Getting More Ridiculous?

    NOADLS replied to us2uk4u's topic in Emergency

    When you work in the ER, those are things you should expect. You wouldn't want to hear about my numerous visits to the ER related to candycrush. And the nerve of the ER to put cardiac related issues...

  15. Pt asks: Is my surgeon any good? Your response is...

    NOADLS replied to CrunchBerries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "It is my first day on the job. I have no

  16. Estimating discharge date

    NOADLS replied to Ele_123's topic in General Nursing

    From what you've told us, you didn't say anything definitive to the patient. You outlined the criteria for discharge and told the patient that this criteria could be met the next day. I personally...

  17. Offered job while still an extern

    NOADLS replied to Kystudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen those contracts before. You might hear that it is a 3 year deal, but if you read the fine print, it will more than likely say that if you back out, you'll have to pay them a pro-rated amount...

  18. Night shift charge nurse issue

    NOADLS replied to MilliePieRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Part of your job is to confront those that aren't doing their job in a respectful manner. As a charge nurse, you have to identify issues on your shift and try to solve them on the spot. If that...

  19. UGH, I want to find my niche already!

    NOADLS replied to ChronicSG's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the big deal about finding that specific field where you would ideally fit in. Work conditions and pay are two of the bigger factors I look at before even looking at the

  20. Help with Major CNA Problems

    NOADLS replied to JSBoston's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You haven't learned the hiding spots, have

  21. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    NOADLS replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "See, I put the seat down. But don't blame me for the saran

  22. VP of Marketing insults nurses (vent)

    NOADLS replied to savoytruffle's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Can you recommend me as your replacement? I think I'd get along with

  23. Day shift or night shift

    NOADLS replied to TNT_RN09's topic in General Nursing

    Day shift pro's: none Day shift con's: less money, more work, management and families present Night shift pro's: more money, less work, no management or families present Night shift con's:

  24. Nights Shifts and your Marriage

    NOADLS replied to RunnerKate's topic in General Nursing

    My good friend's (dentist) wife is a night shift nurse. He tells me that his marriage has been great because when he's bored and the wife is at work, he can bring in

  25. Sexual Comment from Boss???

    NOADLS replied to headtotoewounds's topic in General Nursing

    You go after him for that, and he'll go after you for not dotting your "I's" and not crossing your "T's." Learn to pick your battles (hint: this isn't the one to pick) I also fail to see the "sexual"...
