    The Nurse at the Bedside

    nursel56 replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Love it! Especially the respect and esteem for your colleagues who have aspirations to be in management or advanced practice. I would've been utterly lost as a new nurse if there weren't experienced...

    New Nurse Peds Hospital

    nursel56 replied to PinkRose34's topic in General Nursing

    Your choices sound great so far! I might add current recommendations for immunizations, which would be included in the medication category, but are updated more often. If you're not currently in a...

    What Is the Problem???

    nursel56 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Cape Cod, I've read your posts for years, so I know your motivation is the highest standard of care. It saddens this old dino to know that very often these days any expression along those lines is...

    How exactly does the BON know we completed credit education hours?

    nursel56 replied to JuliusSeizure's topic in General Nursing

    In my state they do the random audit as well. Since those offering approved CE courses need a provider number they have a way to verify your info if they need

    Unit Clerk Reading Allnurses.com ..

    nursel56 replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    So far nobody has made the connection. Lots have mentioned registering, but not dedicated enough to willingly hang around our group of nutballs. I say that with all the love, really!

    BSN required to help save lives?

    nursel56 replied to ModernRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is no vast unseen authority that "makes" anybody do anything. I'm sorry you are so unhappy about the perceived value of your education, though, and you certainly will offend a lot of people with...

    Hospice patient o2 needs

    nursel56 replied to Suzie070307's topic in General Nursing

    Best wishes! I just want to add that someone who speaks in such dire terms in public places, combined with her subsequent lack of interest in your follow-up questions is showing signs of a personality...

    Normal for clinic nursing?

    nursel56 replied to AJ1980's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    You'll pick up speed, and get to know people and routines, but it's difficult for me to imagine how all of your responsibilities could be reconciled without more help, or the ability to have some...

    Educated RN

    nursel56 replied to newcareer13's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the thing about nursing that I like is that there is never a "done" no matter how long you've been working, and starting from scratch when switching to a new specialty. Combined with the...

    nursel56 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    The most sincere & well thought out exit post I've seen here cocoa_puff (full disclosure, we prefer Count Chocula at our house) I've often wondered if I could have coped with the job had I started...

    Boundaries being crossed in workplace

    nursel56 replied to Fauxtweet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi, fauxtweet. I agree, that sounds really annoying. I would first ask is if you would enjoy that job if not for the supervisor who can't contain the urge to meddle. If you don't really feel the job...

    Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    nursel56 replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    Thanks for posting, pdnnurse. I value hearing this experience since usually we aren't able to meet and discuss as in most other specialties. We've had a few nurses who also have kids in need of...

    confessions of a RRT

    nursel56 replied to yahoomagoo's topic in General Nursing

    Even though many have already said this, I will too. Maybe the OP will benefit from reinforcement. Yahoomagoo, the environment you describe sounds like a toxic unit culture, it's not the norm. I've...

    PCA/CNA should I go for LVN or RN

    nursel56 replied to LorraineC's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I agree with centercourt, unless there is a need to start sooner for a pressing financial or family-related need. For the most part, Nursing programs are designed to teach from the ground up, so to...

    Should nursing pay remain modest?

    nursel56 replied to Longleggedstar's topic in General Nursing

    Longlegged star, I suspect your "veteran nurse" may hail from somewhere far, far away. There are misconceptions there way beyond the ridiculous notion that a sane person would advocate for a smaller...

    Undocumented Patients

    nursel56 replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I agree, from what I've observed staying under the radar is their first concern if their immigration status came to my attention. As some people have mentioned, I don't make a point of...
