  1. Hostile work environment - Violent Doctor

    target98765 replied to Summer70's topic in General Nursing

    This is unfortunate. I've been in the OR a long time; 20 plus years, and I haven't really seen many changes to these situations. Recently we had a very serious situation occur with possible harm to a...

  2. I want to quit nursing.

    target98765 replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    OK, so it's hard, but my best advice is to follow your gut. Keep in mind, though, the grass is not always greener on the otherside. Who is to say that, if you switch to photography or something, that...

  3. I don't want to be a nurse!!

    target98765 replied to sharebear003's topic in General Students

    I have been a nurse over 20 years. My mother did the same thing to me. Don't do it, nursing will crush your soul. I am pretty much dead inside, have tons of health problems and hate my

    target98765 replied to DeLynn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi DeLynn, I just completed my first semester with Capella's RN-BSN program. So far it is OK. Everything is reading papers and discussion boards. The department of nursing has new leadership and they...

  6. Receptionist working in Surgery Center.

    target98765 replied to BlueSky0's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this is a nightmare in the making. First off, get a lawyer and tell them everything you have been doing. In the mean time keep a journal of what you are doing each day when you are assigned to...

  7. Are we "semi-professionals"

    target98765 replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe, nor do I identify with nursing being considered a "profession." We are not. We are highly trained technicians. We have no control over our day. We don't make decisions, we simply...

  8. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    target98765 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I actually wasn't offended by it. It is for student nurses and they probably love student nurses because they are hard workers. Also, gotta say, doing this type of job is really very closely related;...

  11. teenagers and pot

    target98765 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where they are getting this information. I think because it is being termed as "medical Marijuana" they automatically think it is a good thing. Regarding cancer it is just for nausea and...

  12. Accused of sleeping

    target98765 replied to cdthorste's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it. Keep yourself up, stand up, stretch, if I read or do stuff on my phone I would probably fall asleep. Do you draw, knit, or do any hobby with your hands? Do that. I had a regular night...

  13. Does anyone else feel like they're not in charge

    target98765 replied to citylights89's topic in Operating Room

    What that anesthesiologist means is that you are there to run around for them and take care of their needs. I am very friendly with a few of the CRNA's and it is very surprising to me how much the...

  14. Clarification: hand offs

    target98765 posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hi so sorry, I posted another thread, but it needs more details. How does your department handle pre op RN to OR nurse hand offs. Also OR RN to PACU RN hand offs. Thank

  15. Does anyone else feel like they're not in charge

    target98765 replied to citylights89's topic in Operating Room

    I feel you. The incident that drove it home for me was a day I had to run out to the core and grab something and I walk back into the OR to anesthesia staff standing there looking at the door I just...

  16. Trouble in the O.R.

    target98765 replied to Windyhill's topic in Operating Room

    OK, you are new, but sounds like you need a periop course! The hardest thing is to develop a "sterile concious." You need to know in your head what the invisible boarders are. Rule of thumb...don't...

    target98765 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Wow, that is a wonderful philosophy! My boss changes people shifts hours before hand, switches people's schedules at the last minute, and tells you if you don't like it you can

  18. School teacher wanting a career change - Is nursing for me?

    target98765 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You maybe paid a little bit more than a teacher but you will earn every penny because nursing is not easy. Also keep in mind that, as a teacher you are in the drivers seat; if you become a nurse that...

  19. Will be finishing orientation and getting married - Can I request time off for honeymoon?

    target98765 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    In my experience, you will probably not get it if you are counted in the "numbers." That is something that should have been negotiated when you were offered the job and before you accepted the...

  21. Hospital Cares More about HCAHPS than Nurses!

    target98765 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    And FYI, law enforcement is allowed to press charges when assulted, nurses are not always allowed to press charges. How many of you have called 911? Usually you call security , they subdue and then...

    target98765 replied to Hmfog's topic in General Nursing

    This is all great, but make sure you take care of yourself!! If you happen to have an operating room rotation make sure you tell them you are preggers. Many anesthesia gases should not be used in the...
