  1. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    ICURN3020 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    Good advice :) I've only ever taken online tests and hope to someday take an "official" one. However, what I have read about my own type was spot on with my personality, preferences and nature. I...

  2. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    ICURN3020 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to it feeling like "a show". It's not that I don't enjoy talking to or being around others, it's just that it goes against my built-in preference and I absolutely have to also have my...

  3. narcotics

    ICURN3020 replied to oharnp's topic in Patient Medications

    I cannot agree with this more!!! Tylenol/acetaminophen for some reason does not work for pain or fever relief in me or my children. We go right to the Motrin/ibuprofen. I agree that narcotics...

  4. It's out of my hands now

    ICURN3020 replied to bsartor's topic in Nursing Career

    Take a deep breath and stay positive! You have no choice but to wait for responses....don't waste that time feeling stressed and anxiety-ridden. Do some things you've been meaning to do or just want...

  5. Anyone worked ICU and NICU at the same time??

    ICURN3020 replied to LonghornLillie's topic in Critical Care

    Your welcome! :) Good luck in your new NICU

  6. Male modesty double standard

    ICURN3020 replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is my understanding as well. Once legal issues arise, the police become involved and will be present if the patient is a suspect or victim of crime. They can obtain necessary information from...

  7. Disabled seems to have some new meaning!

    ICURN3020 replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I shared this story as an example of how looks can be deceiving and how we make assumptions based soley on someone's appearance. I guess I never really thought about whether the police officer was...

  8. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    ICURN3020 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    Nevermind......I Googled it and took the test. I'm a

  9. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    ICURN3020 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard of that.....mind explaining? Thanks

  10. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    ICURN3020 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    Very true....I'm an INFJ and find over-socialization draining. I would go nuts without my "me

  11. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    ICURN3020 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    #4. I'm an INFJ too :) I work in MICU/SICU and it fits my personality very

  12. Help me out guys, I don't even know if I want to show up for the interview.

    ICURN3020 replied to supaflyz's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Go for it! If they ask you questions that you don't know the answer to, be honest and say, "I haven't had much/any experience with that working in LTC. However, I am looking forward to developing my...

  13. New grad advice

    ICURN3020 replied to Jazzyjazz's topic in Nursing Career

    I understand both sides here but personally I feel similarly to the OP. I wouldn't want to work for some shady, underbelly company. In the OP's situation, I would feel like, although I wasn't...

  14. Job interview question

    ICURN3020 replied to Jazzyjazz's topic in Nursing Career

    I would just ask the HR dept. for their usual timeframe for the hiring process. I can't imagine they would be upset by that question, and it helps you to avoid appearing either overaggressive or...

  15. Anyone worked ICU and NICU at the same time??

    ICURN3020 replied to LonghornLillie's topic in Critical Care

    A red flag popped up in my mind as soon as I read the title, without even reading your post. I guess it could be done if you were hypervigilant about keeping all of your different parameters and...

  16. Assignment of isolation pts

    ICURN3020 replied to delphine22's topic in General Nursing

    Hissy "fit" / staff that "have" been around I hate autocorrect and it won't let me go back to

  17. Assignment of isolation pts

    ICURN3020 replied to delphine22's topic in General Nursing

    In response to topic #2 I have been assigned a neutropenic patient with a contact patient before. Upon realizing it, I went to the charge nurse and stated my concerns. I reasoned that even though...

  18. To cut or not to cut?

    ICURN3020 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering everyone's thoughts on whether we as nurses and other direct care staff (CNA's, STNA's, etc) have the right to groom a patient without their or their families expressed consent/request....

  19. Having such a hard time moving forward

    ICURN3020 replied to HeartRN13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm so sorry you're going through this! For a bunch of supposedly educated, professional, caring adults to intentionally try to make someone's life miserable is really pathetic. I know this can be...

  20. The most valuable thing(s) you've been told

    ICURN3020 replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen it happen....had an agency nurse working in our unit (nothing against agency nurses, she just happened to be one) who actually called a code on an awake and stable patient!!! I don't know...

  21. Does this feeling go away?

    ICURN3020 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in Critical Care

    Sorry, I wasn't sure if "new" meant a few months or a year. And I wasn't sure if you maybe had another nursing job prior to going to ICU. Regardless, my advice is to definitely stick it out a while...

  22. Does this feeling go away?

    ICURN3020 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in Critical Care

    If you don't mind my asking, how long have you been a nurse? Is this current ICU position your first nursing

  23. Have you ever convinced yourself...?

    ICURN3020 replied to RN403's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. Does this feeling go away?

    ICURN3020 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in Critical Care

    I've only ever worked ICU so I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing any type of patient-care nursing is draining. I can't imagine any area of nursing that deals directly with patients (i.e. the...

  25. Suspend within 1 month of hire

    ICURN3020 replied to berhaelee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Was the med error a serious one, as in did or could the patient have suffered irreparable harm or death? It sounds like you are still within your probationary period, if I'm correct. Your punishment...
