  1. Getting put as an nurses' aid on shifts.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have my usual monthly plus extra for inconvenient hours so the same as if I was a nurse for the day. Our boss when I asked why I was put as an aide said that "Ohhh but it's not like that, it's more...

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wish it was like this here in Sweden! The nurses union say we can't say no to the direkt nursing care but don't need to do kitchen, cleaning etc but feels even worse making a point of this though I...

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi. I'm a new nurse on my first nursing job. I was giving vaccinations today on 2 teens. One of them was really really skinny and I managed to hit bone. I've been feeling horrible all day, naive me...

    Do you know any youtube vid or pdf where that is explained/shown? I haven't had that explained either, basically "this for im, this one for sc". I asked if I could use a sc needle before and got told...

    I ment bone itself, I know the periosteum holds a lot though. I've read a lot of posts of pt not reacting at all with needle hitting the bone (hehe found the search function!) I'm not sure if the...

  13. Fired for refusing??

    hybr1d replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't want to start a debate, I just noted that for me it seems a strange way to go about it. Cultural differences I suppose and that's ok. Workers are the ones that in my opinion need to be...

  14. Fired for refusing??

    hybr1d replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seriously, look into it. I can help you out finding staffing organizations for example in Norway, there nurses fresh from school can get up towards 3500-4000 euros/month with expenses paid and with...

    hybr1d replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just browsed through this thread. I guess most are american on the boards? Sounds so strange for me as a swede to read that you can get fired for not getting the flu shot. Over here the organization,...

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I totally agree, this is something I should have learned. I was quite displeased with my education overall and did voice it too, this didn't better my impression. Though my best friend who's at a imo...

    Northern European university. I mean logically of course I realize that it's possible just surprised that I've never heard anyone mention it. Maybe it's something you don't tell other nurses though? I...
