    Want To Leave Bedside Nursing

    Nonyvole replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    It's part of the reason why I'm looking to leave the bedside. Between that, grossly unsafe ratios, and doctors acting like the nursing staff are either idiots or decoration, I've had

    Least stressful nursing specialty

    Nonyvole replied to Svkd's topic in General Nursing

    Powerball winner, just keep it anonymous and go for the gradual payout, not the lump sum. Then

    Not Criminally Responsible

    Nonyvole replied to Tylerr's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OP, this sounds more like a paper that wants your opinion...let me put on a writing teacher's hat for a few minutes. So, do you think they should be held criminally responsible or not? Now that you've...

    How to get into nurse school with several "w" and 2 "F"

    Nonyvole replied to Dagmawi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if you persist in using text/chat speak, and not checking spelling, the odds are slim indeed. However, each school is different, and what they'll accept can vary between cohorts. Your best and...

    Not enough equipment

    Nonyvole replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    Some meds, I do calculate drip rates. But the really finicky ones or the ones I'll need to titrate, I'll hunt down a

    searching nursing schools

    Nonyvole replied to hp19's topic in LPN to RN

    We can't do thé legwork for you. I did take a look at Ambria's list of accreditations. From what I saw, they aren't regionally accredited nor accredited by either of the two nursing groups. You...

    Instrutor getting bullied

    Nonyvole replied to sam71's topic in General Students

    Well, just remember. Can't argue answers on the NCLEX. And in all seriousness, instructors talk to each other. So while this one will let the students take control, there are others that won't, and...

    Clinicals stress me out.

    Nonyvole replied to Rachael12's topic in General Students

    IVs come out all the time, for the oddest of reasons. Skin is wet. Skin is too dry. Patient has been playing with the dressing. IV was being temperamental and was barely in. So unless she had fluids...

    Nursing Interview Assignment

    Nonyvole replied to nursienerd's topic in General Students

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    Nonyvole replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    If a patient is in that much spiritual distress, we call in the hospital chaplain. They're the ones who are trained to answer questions like that. Not nurses. We can pray with the patients - as...

    How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

    Nonyvole replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do yoga, pilates, and other forms of exercise. On my own time. I'm on the clock? It's all about the patients. Really, nurse-centered care? Don't make me laugh. (Seriously. It scares the rest of...

    How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    Nonyvole replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Something else that had popped into my mind - there are some people that will focus on getting a rise out of others. Why? A variety of reasons. "Getting them to loosen up" and "knocking them down a...

    How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    Nonyvole replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    OP, your classmates are talking about things that you'll hear on the unit all the time, sadly. I also suspect that it happens far less than you feel that it does, but since these are topics that you...

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    Nonyvole replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    Oooo...kay... This is a smidge off, especially for those on this website who hold different beliefs than you. Just to let you know. And a lot of places do look down on students and nurses going...

    Pearson Vue Trick: Is it accurate? Do you know anyone who paid using their CC and passed?

    Nonyvole replied to HeyViv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That trick is not, I repeat not, reliable. You might as well consult a Magic-8 Ball - it'll cost less, for one. Everybody here who is a nurse knows the stress related to waiting for your official...

    The sloppy image of nurses today

    Nonyvole replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I love my short hair. Wash, towel dry, run some gel or pomade through it with my fingers, and by the time I'm leaving the house it's dry. Long hair would end up being pulled back and staying wet...

    Survey for school!

    Nonyvole replied to Sdwyer043014's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm 32. I've been in health care for 16 years (obviously not all of it as a nurse). I have personally experienced violence against me in the health care setting. I'm neutral as to how my employer...

    do you gain or lose weight while working

    Nonyvole replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Nursing

    Gained. Lots of empty calories during night shift. (And oh, how I've gained.) But I've decided that THIS is the year to get my diet under control. (She says as she's in a fast food

    Valuable life lessons from an ER nurse....

    Nonyvole replied to Momma1RN's topic in Emergency

    Nausea is a side effect. Chronic pain isn't life threatening. You call the specialist yet? Same issue as yesterday, right? Five months? So what's different? Welcome, traveller. Drink more water....
