I wanted to know if anybody refrain from telling their doctors that you are a nurse? Also your kids doctors or anyone else? I have many times and it's because of my past experiences. For example; I was anemic during my pregnancy and was on iron tabs then I asked a simple question if I should continue my iron tabs since I'm constipated. She said, "Your right, you don't really need two tabs just one cause." Or when I ask pediatrician question she said, " you're nurse, right?" Or a doctor said, " I think that you are over thinking it, it's not that serious." I rather be free to ask questions and to experience life without being Judge.

I don't think so

We place hats or urine collection in toilet seat and don't give them water unless we give them and measure all intake and all outputs

Hardest part has got to be when supporting patient to die painlessly or dnr with a morphine drip ect

CDC policy is law and they should respect it

Definitely not disclose your mental illness. I think just apply somewhere else if they won't change ur shift

Bump*

Thank you

Agree with @hygiene queen "If you think being a CNA is "easy" and there is no thinking involved, you need to think again. Is it rocket science?"

I love Spanish

Keeping your foot in the door as a prn is a great idea. For one as a new NP, they love acute care experience. You can always transition to more hours if this community nursing won't work. Btw, any usage of your skills as a hospital nurse counts in my book. Compare that to being completely out and doing the community nursing. Become who you ultimately want to be, just be smart about. This is a good question.

You are a smart person and I would speak up to another authority. But that is over. This is a new place and bee people. Be yourself and shine as you did. Don't let those ppl in the past to derail you. If you do have a problem speak up. It's always work policies. I find by working nights, I dodge some and I have more time to prepare or study. When I work day shift is just do what I needed to do that my boss complained about.

The LPN -RN is good

I wish management gets the big picture. Thanks for this.
