  1. Anyone wear Crocs?

    RaeT,RN replied to nurscee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear Dansko's and I like them pretty well - they are expensive and are hell before you break them in the first day or two, but after that I think they are pretty good. My feet still hurt at the end...

    thanks,

    RaeT,RN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Now, I'm not trying to get ahead of myself here, but I was wondering how much experience you should have before going for your RNC and what the process is like - how should you study, how do you take...

  4. Nurse's nasty attitude in L&D

    RaeT,RN replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really want to understand your quote not to trust a 35 weeker. I think this probably spoils your joke, but please - enlighten me! Thanks! New

  5. My "Duh" moment in my first day of nursing school clinical

    RaeT,RN posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    Well, you guys know you just wanna puke the first day of clinical. I was lucky enough (note sarcasm) to have Nurse Ratchet for my sub-assigned nurse that day. (An unfortunately unhappy person who...

  6. New Nurse Training New Nurse

    RaeT,RN replied to medicrnohio's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm going back and forth on this one . . . I had a young preceptor for my 3 week preceptorship at the end of school, and I have one with 25 years of experience now as a new grad RN. I think I click...

  7. Anyone making the transition from CNA to RN on a unit?

    RaeT,RN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm really trying to break out of my CNA role and fully take on my RN role. It's hard too that the nurses still see me as a tech and keep trying to delegate to me! This is just a gripe, and I'm sure...

  8. I have the best preceptor in the world!

    RaeT,RN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my first full day with my preceptor today on the floor and I am just in awe. She started in L&D as a new grad 25 years ago (graduated from the same school as I did) and has been there ever...

  9. Advice for a new RN about delegating to UAPs who have bad attitudes...

    RaeT,RN replied to christvs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think there is definately a happy medium between trying to do all of your NA tasks as an RN and being one of those nurses who spends more time finding the NA to do the task than it would take to do...

  10. Some of the things Doctors do and say really tick me off!

    RaeT,RN replied to Peaches N L&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There have been several cases on my unit when the RN had called the doc bcuz of decel's and the MD laughed them off, or dismissed them. I'm not sure if it has ever escalated to that kind of a blow up...

  11. Anyone making the transition from CNA to RN on a unit?

    RaeT,RN replied to RaeT,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for your support! I know it will just take time. Most of them are not the kind that get the authority trip and delegate just because they can - you know the type - and I think it just will...

  12. Well, finished my 1st 3rd-shift last night...

    RaeT,RN replied to jenrninmi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll be going to nights when I get out of orientation in November. Glad to know it's not so

  13. Tips for nurses in their first year of nursing

    RaeT,RN replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How on earth did you go through nursing school without giving many baths???????????? My only advice is to 1) do your baths when you do your assessment (you really get to see skin this way, plus turn...

  14. Tips for nurses in their first year of nursing

    RaeT,RN replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Kim - I think you have 2 options: you can give yourself a little bit of time to get in a routine and get more time-efficient (remember when you first started doing pt care in nursing school and how...
