  1. Ugghhh, another new nurse...

    NursesRmofun replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Oh

  2. Have been told LPN BAD idea

    NursesRmofun replied to vspaniel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have always heard LPN/LVN's will be phased out, but that has never happened. Where I work, they are supposedly phasing them out but I just saw a new hire LVN in the last few months. However, the...

  3. Help! Please talk me out of quitting!

    NursesRmofun replied to Wanttobeamom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that this would be a good starting place for you! If you can handle this, maybe you can handle ST or nursing. ST and Nursing are messy jobs with chances of picking up illnesses/diseases....

  4. Looking for some advice before making a mistake.

    NursesRmofun replied to italianlifter's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the best thing would be to call local colleges and see what different programs you are interested in would run you $$ wise. I know the Associates RN route pays decent and has less $$...

  5. Racist surgeon?

    NursesRmofun replied to tech22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That isn't just racist, it is unprofessional since, apparently, he was talking in a more public place using these slurs. You could report him. However, I do believe there could be some

  6. Does this feeling ever go away?

    NursesRmofun replied to ps3114's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, my opinion is that it does not totally go away working at the bedside in the hospital, LTC, or Home Health. Being very organized does help, but other things put a monkey wrench into...

  7. False reporting to BON

    NursesRmofun replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, it is best not to "friend" (in any way) an unstable person. You may want to help them, but they may want to harm

  8. I survived the Board of Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to KCMnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am glad you finally had the charges dropped and I understand your points regarding the lack of investigation. False allegations are a worry for all of us. Come on

  9. Nothing Like a Nurse Navigator!

    NursesRmofun replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Great. Sounds like something I would have liked to have done. But, after I became an RN, I did Oncology for a while again (I had been in it as an LPN for many years prior) , then left the specialty...

  10. 32 years old and ready to switch my career to become a nurse! Am I too old?

    NursesRmofun replied to Kaytee12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. It is not too

  11. I'm a new nurse and I feel like quitting :'(

    NursesRmofun replied to NurseGee2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds like your preceptor on nights in a lot like me. We like to get it done so we can prepare for the next challenge coming at us, the next patient/admission, the next person suddenly getting...

  12. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    NursesRmofun replied to Annie_1101's topic in General Students

    No, no.....IV starts can be very difficult and sometimes "the best of the best" have to be called to get access...and, at other times, they need a central line because they are that hard to get. I...

  13. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    NursesRmofun replied to Annie_1101's topic in General Students

    I answered the poll thinking of "teaching IV's" as the actual starting of IV's. We did get IV teaching as far as equipment and theory. We did not do IV starts in a medical setting/real life during my...

  14. Do you get paid to stay late and chart?

    NursesRmofun replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering why you wonder about nurses in particular. I am wondering how you know we use the term, "Chart." But I'm just a curious person sometimes. lol. I get paid hourly for all I time I am on...

  15. Nurses who don't have the "passion"

    NursesRmofun replied to My_toe_sis's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing was once, and maybe still is, called a "helping" profession. People got into nursing to help others. I was one of those. Today, I think there are more "practical" people in nursing that get...

  16. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    NursesRmofun replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    There doesn't have to be a previous idea, per se. Discourse markers ( so, right, okay ) - English Grammar Today - Cambridge

  17. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    NursesRmofun replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Being attracted to someone male that is a nurse is doable, depending on the male that is a nurse. I'm not in the market for a partner, but I have met nice looking AND nice acting male nurses that I...

  18. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    NursesRmofun replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I know this one and have been living with it and now I.....choke...say it!!!!

  19. So you're just a nurse?

    NursesRmofun replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    You have a point. I think sometimes it can get old answering this question...but then again, no more than any other profession, I would think. As for the "just" a nurse part...I never get the attitude...

  20. Myrtle Beach - pay and opportunity

    NursesRmofun replied to christinamuniz's topic in General Nursing

    I am also curious about the jobs in this area. I just looked the pay up-- Sorry....the lower number may be $48,000 to $76,0000

  21. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    NursesRmofun replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that truly mean people should not be allowed to work anywhere....but I don't get my way on that and meet them all the time. You are lucky if you just have

  22. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    NursesRmofun replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Or yep....does anyone hate yep? Oh well!!!

  23. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    NursesRmofun replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do use "So,..." and I consider it an informal expression and the way I talk, at times. Reading up on it to refresh my memory of the right and wrong of it- It's a discourse marker. Discourse markers...

  24. Got fired.. Need support

    NursesRmofun replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I read through half the replies. I think that they fired you for something more than not finishing that assessment documentation. I think you can probably skip the 3 months on your resume and use...

  25. New nurse: I get no respect

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse326's topic in Emergency

    I have had several experiences where the techs would seek to take over, if they could. They sometimes seek to intimidate or downplay a new employees role, no matter what his/her title. Some can be...
