Hello! I am a rather new nurse, couple months in. I have debated coming on here to vent/ get opinions but kept deciding not to. I was laying in bed and can't get my mind of the topic as it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it. So here I am ...

Also regardless if the patient was harmed I would asssume it would be illegal to not fill out an incident report. Can they do one on my behalf? Or would I be required to sign off on it or report it. I feel like I should be filling out my own report t...

Honestly I kind of want to agree. Because I know who the day shift nurse was before me that night. She had 3 discharges and two admissions and I know she was super busy and saw that management/ charge nurses had given a couple of her medications when...

Another reason I strongly feel I didn't do it is because we just got new IV pumps that we scan and are connected to the MAR. If the medicine was overrides I would have had to program this medicine by hand opposed to the pump automatically putting in ...

Thanks for your reply! No unfortantely we do not sign meds. Just IV fluids and tubing we sign. And that is smart about Pyxis. I wouldn't know how to go about doing that and everytime I seemed to ask questions regarding the situation it was brushed o...

Ill update y'all and anyone else looking. New grad position was offered at novant 24 an hour, 1.25 weekend diff, 4 dollar night diff Wake Forrest was 23.25 an hour, 1.25 weekend, and 4 dollar night diff Not bad but the weekend differential SUCKS co...

Hello! I am wanting to start a more up to date thread about starting pays in the triad area. I know pay isn't everything but I want to make sure that I wouldn't be making to much less working for Wake because it will be a longer drive then I would wo...

Sorry I actually mean Wake Forrest as in Baptist.. I guess since im from around here we refer to that as wake but I can see the traingle area knowing Wake med as wake as well! Thanks for the input im sure it will help someone :)

I ended up just sticking with moses cone I also know a couple classmates that denied their offer as well so good luck!

I just received an email offering a position on the oncology floor this summer. I have already accepted a position with Cone on the oncology floor and am torn as to what to do. So many pros and cons for both. Good luck to both of y'all and let us kno...

There are so many fields of nursing I am interested in but each one requires a different level of nursing knowledge. I know I want to start out in a hospital but eventually I did want to move to somewhere that will allow days and weekends off but tha...

I have to make two nursing care plans. My fake patient scenario is a girl whose fiance broke up with her and she was so upset she walked to a bridge and tried jumping off. I made one of the nursing diagnosis risk for suicide r/t hopelessness from los...

Thanks y'all! After a little more research I believe I am going to switch it to ineffective coping. I will check that out though!

I am writing a paper and need opinions from other nurse or nursing students about what factors are influencing nursing practice today. Thanks!

And I suggest that you don't tell me what to do. The people on the boards were having an attitude with me trying to tell me how to do my assignment. I am going to do my assignment just as my teacher told me to do because I want to make a good grade o...

Well I will add that to what nurses believe. As you said I am suppose to have my idea while y'all are suppose to have y'alls. The thing is I am student. All I know so far is what I read in my book. Y'all have hands on experience. I will read up on th...

I said the advancement with technology was a big thing for me that has increased patient safety. I spoke about legal policies as the person above said policy. The creation of negligence and malpractice has changed nursing practices while protecting p...

I just thought this website was suppose to be about nurses coming together to help other nurses. I am not asking y'all to write my paper for me. I literally just needed one word responses. I didn't know it was that bad for me to ask that via the inte...

No actually my teacher specifically said we could ask online because we are pretty tight on time right now.

I actually was told I could ask online. I am not sure why you think you know what my assignments are anyways. I would honestly hate to have you for a nurse because you lack the major characteristics of what I have learned a nurse needs.

Okay thanks. I will just go to the hospital to interview nurses because apparently asking via the internet just gets me smart remarks.

Actually were doing two papers one on my thoughts and one of other nurses thoughts.

Hello! On May 17 I started my first session of nursing school. My college just recently changed their policy that requires us to take Physical assessment and Fundamentals of nursing over the summer session. This is the first time they have ever done ...

Unfortunately they don't give out study guides and this is my teachers first time ever teaching the course so she also questions herself a lot. As far as your first piece of advice with skipping sections I have heard this a lot and plan to start doi...

So right now I am working 24 hours a week as a CNA while going to nursing school. On top of this I am apart of a nursing student association which requires so many community service events a semester and recent joined one of those national leadership...
