It just depends on the schedule. We may, or may not need to stay late. We are starting at our regular time and if the schedule runs past our normal end of day time, those designated late are expected to stay. Most of the staff is considered part t...

Hi all, Just curious, I was told my a rep for bovies that you should use a bovie pad based on the actual surface area the patient had available, so if you have a young child that has enough body surface for an adult bovie pad you could place and adu...

Is anyone enrolled in the Capella RN to BSN flex path program? If so, how do you like it so far? I am in the traditional program, pulling A's and was recently inducted into the honor society; I am thinking of switching formats and I would love some f...

Very frustrated with where I work right now. I am used to a very cohesive, interdisciplinary group of proffesionals that address issues that come up together. In my newish job (been there close to a year) Everyone runs to the manager with complaints....

Is the OP a millenial?

Are you a nurse? This is just never going to happen.

I love my job now, I work with a great supportive team, BUT that does not erase the 20 years I spent miserable and unhappy in part due to my husband that would not pay for me to go school to change careers, nor let me quit my job. Still married but ...

Well, get out or go back for an advanced degree in nursing.

I don't understand this post. IF you are unhappy, start planning your escape now. Saying that "all the women in your family are nurses is really weird. .sorry. just leave and do something else.

Nope, the union statement is untrue. Most hospitals do not have unions for nurses and in fact hospitals spend millions on blocking nurses unions from organizing. Nursing sucks in the US. I have been told by administrators if I don't like how things a...

You are very courageous! I would have left years ago if I could have. I am sure you have a plan in place? Would you mind me asking what your future plans are? I have been very unhappy with my nursing career and I have experienced some of what you hav...

:)hang in there!! You are on the right path for success! !!!!!

Yes they do!! 😉 and you don't have to pay! They usually offer PEARS, PALS, and ACLS as well free of charge!

Oh my. I just feel like this is harassment that should be addressed. It is obvious that you are not 100% ready to be off orientation!! Maybe go to your manager and suggest a skills fair for the unit, also invite the critical care chief to the meeting...

Listen, this post makes me feel very bad and I'm sorry you are being treated so awfully. My suggestion to you is to set up a meeting with your educator and/or your nurse manager. Be sure to also invite your preceptor to this meeting. You need to sit ...

Was the nurse you were speaking to a millennial? Because they are special you know, you have to be very careful with their delicate feelings. They don't like to be crush like a little flower so tread carefully around them. You have to super sweet an...

No question at all here!!! He needed to be reported months ago. This won't get better and this is a clear case of sexual harassment in the work place. Report it ASAP.

Apparently! !!

"but when I see a car or new gadget that I really really like the first thing that comes to my mind is "I'm going to get that when I become a nurse"." THIS Bothers me. You make it sound like nurses are rolling in all kinds of disposable money. I am m...

This the the Nightingale pledge. We didn't say it at my graduation, and if they did I would not have participated. I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly, to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession fai...

It may be honest and true, but this is an inappropriate response for this post. The OP is grieving a loss; some sensativity and compassion should be extended.

I didn't take an oath. I need money to live so if I help someone in the process that is great.

So bizarre. I just started a new job. When I went for my screening I was asked to bring any prescriptions that could show up in the drug screen. I don't take anything, but I assume they would want to know ahead of time.

Very insensitive comment here. What is really sad is that you felt the need to write such a comment; this is what makes me pause and consider what we have "coming up" in the ranks via younger nurses. Original poster; I am very sorry for your loss.

Well, re read what I wrote. I didn't state you were working for them I only wrote it seemed possible. And further I wrote you know a lot about WGU. My post was not negative towards you.
