Was admitted to antepartum at 26 weeks due to elevated b/p, light spotting, and contractions. Things settled down, but noticed that the nurses treated me strangly. After being kept for about 26 hours, my Dr. came in to release me. He sat on the edge ...

Hi, everyone! Still trying to get this ironed out. I returned to my OB on Monday, to find the second test to be positive as well. We agreed to a repeat testing with a different lab. It was done but I won't find out the results until this week's appoi...

sorry this is going to be long. i started a new job about 6 weeks ago----and hated it from the beginning. i had to stay until my husband's employment got going. The other day i went in and just realized i couldn't take it anymore. quite frankly t...

thanks to everyone who gave advice. first, i should have mentioned that the day i left i did not take report, clock in, or even have patients assigned. i called after reading everyone's email---and oh course got voice mail. i simply left a message...

I renewed this way this year. Much less painful! Our state has a survey you have to fill out if you've changed jobs/positions. I had but got out of that by renewing this way.

I have been in the same situation myself. I graduated school in one state, and took boards in the state where he was transferred to. The main thing about moving is when you move you need to make sure you place your license on inactive status, and f...

I have inherited a house in a small town (pop. less than 10,000). This is where I was born, and where my family still lives. The problem is the only place in town that hires RN's is the local hospital. You are doing well to make 14.00 to start the...

Thanks to everyone who responded to this post, and offered some valuable points to ponder. Just by what's on the notebook at this time, it's definitely swaying toward the inherited house. I think we will at least try it for awhile, and after we sel...

One thing that is suddenly popular at my facility is those little things that go on your pocket or waistband to hold stethoscopes. Perfect idea for one of my CNA's whose scope ends up lost at least 5 times a night!

That I forgot to mention. If I don't live in the inherited house, it reverts back to my father. So I don't get anything if it just rents, but I don't have to worry about taxes etc. either.

I would oh course rule out the major things that you have listed already. I also have had this trouble this week. I had a miscarriage in July, and my Dr. is thinking possibly mine is hormone related. I had typical CVA symptoms, weak/tingling R side...

I've been working in a small town ER (not in the same town that I live) for about 10 months. Recently, a nurse cornered me outside on break and said: I've got some info for you, you can take it, twist it, whatever you want to do with it. Two of the...

I just thought I should clarify that the person I dubbed as a friend is a different nurse entirely that also works there. To make a long story short, the only change that has happened in the last few days is: this nurse left the floor, said she wa...

I've been an RN for almost 3 years. I have found 3 types of older nurses: 1.those that really want to help younger nurses learn and are competent with their skills and also enjoy learning from the new grads 2. those that don't want anything to do wi...

Yes, and have you ever noticed that the worst nurses always seem to be the management and some DR's favorites? Maybe that has something to do with their crappy attitudes. Anyways, I went back to this nurse and asked her in what context this discuss...

For me it would definitely be ER. I just like to think I have some control over situations (even if I really don't.) Suprisingly, I have been working in this area for about 9 months. My greatest loves are psych and ltc.

I recently interviewed on a CCU. I have been a nurse for a few years, but had never taken the leap into critical care. Anyway, the interviewer described the job, and mentioned that I could be asked to work 12, 16, and it was possible a 24 hour shif...

I was also in this situation. When I was a new grad I found employment on an ortho floor. Everything progressed well until after orientation when everyone was so busy that noone was there to help. As a new grad, I was really overwhelmed and only sta...
