  1. Venting About Leaving Bedside

    anewsns replied to anewsns's topic in General Nursing

    Yes its so true. I've worked 3 different nursing jobs (and other jobs for comparison) and one day (literally just one day) a few months ago and I was like "is this feeling at work ever going away?" ....

  2. Venting About Leaving Bedside

    anewsns replied to anewsns's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! A friend who worked in bed management said the same thing, but its nice to have any extra confirmation. I don't want to get too far into a "grass is greener" attitude so I like to know what...

  3. When Will the Nursing Shortage Be Over?

    anewsns replied to Nursing CE Central's topic in General Nursing

    True true. For many its not as easy as just walking away. In fact my post may have sounded a little entitled. Some regions don't have tons of other good options. It is true that if you NEED to stay...

  4. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    anewsns replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This post would make more sense if the OP or anyone else was being forced to take the

  5. When Will the Nursing Shortage Be Over?

    anewsns replied to Nursing CE Central's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think just remembering why you got into this profession and persevering makes up for everything we have endured and continue to endure with no end in sight. I think nurses should just leave if...

  6. Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there is no real reason to believe REAL change will happen soon. We can still push to make a difference, even if it takes decades to see the results. Im also not comfortable with the status quo...

  7. Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I also always tell them to read progress notes in the morning and attend rounds. That helps them understand the plan of care

  8. LPN in LTC transition to RN hospital

    anewsns replied to FutureNurse138's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think hospital life is easier as there is more resources and a lower patient load. My unusual advice is to not bounce around the rooms. I was used to that from having a lot of patients and had to...

  9. What would you do?

    anewsns replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    I would somehow be honest whether it is to say you had a conflict with your manager or that she has admitted to giving bad references. And then also provide other leaders and managers from your past...

  10. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    anewsns replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Jive, what are you looking for us to say

  11. ICU interview

    anewsns replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    Just be down to earth and honest about your work history and if they do choose to talk about the LTAC as though it didn't count, you can explain the similarities to ICU in your experience while still...

  12. I’m tired of being a bedside nurse...

    anewsns replied to Obsessedrn's topic in General Nursing

    We have clinical lead roles at my work. It sounds like youd be good at

  13. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    anewsns replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think if an employee is actively putting their patients at risk of harm they are well within their right to terminate you. It is most certainly still your choice not to get vaccinated, just like it...

  14. Aspiring Educator

    anewsns replied to LeChien's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I’m in the same boat ! Very interested in education / professional development. I have ZERO desire to be an NP, so am interested to hear people’s responses as well. I’m waiting on a decision for...

  15. Question for In Hospital Nurse Educator

    anewsns replied to Magnolia11's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I am not a CNE but am doing a big lit review right now on best practices in nurse education. Looks like the more interactive the better. Obviously, learning on the job is best but simulations, role...

  16. Coworkers Respecting Each Other's Office Space

    anewsns replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Trish is right! I probably would have said something like - “I don’t appreciate being spoken to like that. You know your job description and you need to go do it. I will report this and all future...

  17. Coworkers Turning On Heavy Metal and Rock Music In the Dining Room For Elderly Residents

    anewsns replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yea , Her coworkers sound horrible. Bad

  18. Coworkers Turning On Heavy Metal and Rock Music In the Dining Room For Elderly Residents

    anewsns replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I would do something about that. Most people don’t like very loud music. Music should also be familiar for people with cognitive impairment. Excuse me for assuming the generation at your nursing...

  19. The Needy Patient

    anewsns replied to Nurse Pompom's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I’ve seen that done before too . It’s a behavioral issue at that

  20. The Needy Patient

    anewsns replied to Nurse Pompom's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY my method. The ultra proactive, friendly approach. It works best honestly. I also always use the word "neighbor" too. "I will be in with your neighbor for a while/ (or) "I gotta work on a busy...

  21. Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    anewsns replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This whole thought process is interesting to me. Is the nursing care on the other unit just more complex ? Most of the time they just assign people to the appropriate for their condition with the...

  22. Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    anewsns replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yea , we do it a fair amount on my unit. I don’t think you need a reason except that you need a break. They kept giving me this one guy because I tend to do well with behavioral patients but I had...

  23. IMCU

    anewsns replied to CamperNurse's topic in General Specialties

    I work in neuro at a large magnet hospital ! My unit focuses mostly on strokes and brain tumors and our sister neuro unit tends to get general neuro like myesthenia and epilepsy. No tips with ACLS!...

  24. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    anewsns replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Yes not only that , but I feel like new grads are so lost and stressed coming on the floor ... I think more hands on would be better than more theory. I mean , I love didactic education and think that...

  25. Starting a new job with some concerns

    anewsns replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Yea I wouldn’t take the job right now especially if you are already employed. Major glaring red
