  1. What to wear to fill our paperwork at new job?

    NOADLS replied to Just_Kidney's topic in General Nursing

    Would depend on the gender of your boss. First impression has a lot of

  2. New grad + NOC shift

    NOADLS replied to wkl1210's topic in General Nursing

    Are you able to soundproof your bedroom? Temperature control is another big one. You don't want that to be the difference on whether you sleep well or not. The younger you are, the better your body...

  3. But all the Nurse is doing is sitting down. Why cant the help?

    NOADLS replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    Not quite management, although I end up with the final say on most things. I actually turned down the ADON position because there is a substantial workload increase and only a small increase in pay....

  4. What nursing task do you loathe???

    NOADLS replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, I am not responsible for ADL assistance, so that would have been my #1. End of life care or admissions would be close for second since they infringe on my candycrush

  5. RN Starbucks side job?

    NOADLS replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

    Free coffee though.. or discounted! For me, I'd have to be doing something I either REALLY enjoyed, made more money than I would nursing (ie. escort) or furthering my

  6. But all the Nurse is doing is sitting down. Why cant the help?

    NOADLS replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    I don't use pinterest. Candycrush, facebook, or backpages. Technically I would be busy doing those things, so I CNA would need to step in. I am also not the first point of contact as the charge

  7. Waitlist for nursing school

    NOADLS replied to LisaKolls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Need to know where this is. Publicly funded or completely private? Publicly funded = "wait in line like everyone else" Private = "screw the rules, I have

  8. Did you find a mentor?

    NOADLS replied to rbs105's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated, allnurses wasn't around, so any form of mentoring had to be done strictly in person. There was no networking. I had a really good mentor. She was one of the better tetris players out...

  9. Should I take a job in Nursing home

    NOADLS replied to Sanhect1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you don't take it, you'll have no experience. Some is better than none. And for 30/hr, I wouldn't hesitate in any circumstance as a new

  10. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    NOADLS replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    They have said too

  11. Your worst nightmare (Part deux)

    NOADLS replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    Working in a setting where I couldn't delegate ADLS. I was playing candycrush in my sleep and when "sugarcrush" activated, I woke up in a world of

  12. Do you get sick a lot working in the hospital

    NOADLS replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    In the hospital, you have these things called precautions, hand washing stations and you know exactly who has what. In the general public, those luxuries don't exist. Other than someone wearing a...

  13. Incoming shift running late!

    NOADLS replied to RN_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    Claim over time and cite that your relief was late WITH the aforementioned goodies in hand. You won't have to have that discussion with the relief nurse. People like that need to hear it from...

  14. Is This Even Possible?

    NOADLS replied to kalikare8's topic in General Nursing

    You bet they're shoving everything in there in a single (sometimes 2) goes. There is no secret that the fastest nurses are taking shortcuts. Some of them don't even check what they're giving. As for...

  15. Why would a hospital do this?

    NOADLS replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    That's case 1. Case 2 is that OP was turned down and they are looking for a student to fill it because they couldn't find a RN (suitable to their needs) to fill it. Case 3 is the OP was turned down...

  16. Greatest fears as a new nurse (specific if possible)

    NOADLS replied to kittyvenven's topic in General Nursing

    Join date: March 2006 My original thought when I saw this was, "student looking for help with homework," but that doesn't seem likely. My biggest fear when starting out was not having enough downtime...

  17. Leaving the "floor" for Nurse Educator

    NOADLS replied to megb2104's topic in General Nursing

    You are taking a pay cut to do less work. You decide if it is worth it. You know your personal life better than anyone on here. If this place allows you to take OT to work on the floor, that might be...

  18. But all the Nurse is doing is sitting down. Why cant the help?

    NOADLS replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a problem with this on any basis, but that is me being on my extreme. In a more reasonable case, if both the LPN and aide had downtime, I really don't see any reason for the LPN to face...

  19. RN Starbucks side job?

    NOADLS replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I am at the nursing station, I am actually doing work. When I lose all of my lives in candycrush and waiting for them to respawn, I got some time to kill. Backpages is very entertaining...

  20. RN Starbucks side job?

    NOADLS replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

    I found a co-worker on backpages and it isn't too hard to make it happen discreetly. Step 1: delete all of your social media Step 2: never wear make-up at work Step 3: use a fake alias and use a ton...

  21. how much RNS in total would be employed in nursing homes?

    NOADLS replied to clairef52's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming the resident population isn't anything "out of the norm," I would be willing to bet that you would have 1 RN per shift, the DON and 1 other RN in a management position (ADON or similar...

  22. So excited to officially join the Nurses forum

    NOADLS replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the delegating side of the

  23. How do you spend your first day off?

    NOADLS replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Sleep in an extra 2-5 hours, then go for a lengthy run. Contrary to what most would expect, I don't play candycrush away from work on a regular basis. If I get stuck on a level and I am hungry for it,...

  24. New to 12's and skin is breaking out! Any tips?

    NOADLS replied to abbyolivia1's topic in General Nursing

    If you are really sensitive, throwing on more makeup will actually make things worse and you are exacerbating the issue by doing this. Address why you are breaking out to begin with and deal with it....

  25. Non nurses on AN

    NOADLS replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I was going to get called out here. Although my work ethic is what most of you would consider to be garbage, I am still a nurse regardless. I like to see myself as
