    BecomingNursey replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    BecomingNursey replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Conflict with fellow nurse regarding Dilaudid administration, please help!

    BecomingNursey replied to NYCRN21's topic in Pain Management

    He has cancer. He's sick. He's hurting. A pressure of 90/60 (especially if that's what it's been trending the last few days) is not enough reason for me to not give him his pain medication. I would,...

  14. Are you Facebook friends with your coworkers?

    BecomingNursey replied to BlueDawnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes I am, but I also make sure anything I post isn't work related and I don't drink, do drugs or party so there's no reason to filter the pictures of me, my husband and my daughter. As long as you...

    BecomingNursey replied to hcworker's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares? We have a job to do. Male, female...it still has to get done. Be professional and if you walk in the patient's room with confidence, explain what you're going to do and why and again,...

    BecomingNursey replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Can't speak for every ER, but I can definitely tell when it's a full moon at work. I'll be halfway through my shift and think; "Dang! Work really sucks today." I check the lunar phase online and sure...

  20. So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?

    BecomingNursey replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

  24. New grads in specialties without the basics

    BecomingNursey replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    How are these "hot-to-trot" new grads supposed to learn how to draw up insulin and insert a foley if we don't have the patience and willingness to teach

  25. Just a Nurse

    BecomingNursey replied to 1jacque's topic in General Nursing

    That is beautiful. Being a nurse is the hardest thing I've ever done, but I love it. It's a huge part of who I am. I give everything to my patients. Emotionally, physically, spiritually. I'm with you...
