  1. Patient care positions that require limited walking?

    marie.rn2419 replied to brendan's topic in General Nursing

    Acute care dialysis? Or clinic dialysis? They are usually tied down for as long as it takes to run someone... Just a

  2. I need guidance

    marie.rn2419 replied to vanilla_brownie's topic in General Nursing

    As the posters above have said, nursing sucks at least for 6 months to a year. You invested in your education. Give it a shot, try a different unit. You took the time to get through nursing school....

    marie.rn2419 replied to sminichiello's topic in General Nursing

    Long time nocs, I make it a part of my weekly schedule by scheduling my three days together, going to the gym on my first day post-nap, pre-work. Then I take my rest days on work days and go on my...

    marie.rn2419 replied to Name9335's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. Realizing that Nursing is Not for Me

    marie.rn2419 replied to S.Loft's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're getting a lot of great advice from previous posters. Just throwing in my two cents - I'd change your username if you're posting your first name, last name in username and region of the...

  7. Want to go registry after baby born, when to ask manager?

    marie.rn2419 replied to Mlobo31's topic in General Nursing

    Registry is a thing out where I'm at (closer to the west coast). The hospital systems near me hire experienced nurses to their 'registry', which requires 4 shifts per month for quite a bit more money...

  8. Accessing Documentation While on Break

    marie.rn2419 replied to Newgurl17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I wouldn't approach management on this, because you will likely find that they'll tell you that you need to better 'organize your time' and shouldn't chart off the clock. Then, if you begin to...

  9. Fire fighters, police, and first responders...

    marie.rn2419 replied to Beccal8's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What on earth? Did you just post that you're mad at first responders because walmart made you wait in line for an oil change? (which has nothing to do with FF, EMS or LEOs) Or is your point that you...

    marie.rn2419 replied to Julia P.'s topic in TEAS Exam Help

  11. Sticky Sterile Gloves

    marie.rn2419 replied to lorias's topic in General Nursing

    It's kinda tough to describe. But, maybe watch some youtube videos? Practice putting them on and have a nursing student friend watch you and let you know what you're doing wrong. Here: Between you...

  12. The things we put up with as part of the job

    marie.rn2419 replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

  18. Heartbroken (long winded-sorry!)

    marie.rn2419 replied to Fatsacktommy's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should keep pushing to get a new grad position. One option is asking whether there is another upcoming program they'd be willing to give you an offer for, or for another department (big...

    marie.rn2419 replied to Danielledlt's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have had my Littman Classic II for 8 years and have never had an issue with it. I think I paid 160 when I first got it. I see so many physicians using the disposable precautions/contact...

  22. What would you think if you saw this patient?

    marie.rn2419 replied to coffeemamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely ER. Who on earth addresses the secretions but not the underlying causation when it comes to an acute issue such as that? My first thought... Myasthenia

  23. When will everyone understand things are different in the ER

    marie.rn2419 replied to ClayH's topic in Emergency

    I get it. When you need to vent, you need to vent.... I've worked tele/floor, ED/Trauma and Critical Care. Prior to working ED, I didn't understand ED. I just knew the frustration of the floor. Before...

  24. Alaris Pump Saline Flush

    marie.rn2419 replied to jdegia's topic in General Nursing
