  1. Corrections nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to Caroline123's topic in Correctional

    I liked it as far as jobs go. It was

  2. 1 year into nursing, still feel like things don't "click"

    NursesRmofun replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    These things are going to happen no matter how long you have been in nursing. I had a case a week or so ago. Accucheck >500...Provider orders the scheduled long acting already in place along with a...

  3. Binded with a contract and trying to see the positive side of it.

    NursesRmofun replied to nursejaclynxx's topic in General Nursing

    I would go with the contract and see how you actually like this job. You may like it.... And you don't want to pay $10,000 back, for sure. I just *have to mention that, even though this might be a...

  4. New nurse: I get no respect

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse326's topic in Emergency

    IMO, this is not the plight of a new grad but anyone "new". I have been in this position more than a couple of times just being new at the job or not well liked because I DID stick up for myself/got...

  5. Corrections nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to Caroline123's topic in Correctional

    I think these depts. probably all function differently county to county and state to state. I have worked for a county jail in the northeast. I worked 3 - 12 hr shifts per week dayshift. We (as a...

  6. I messed up

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

    I think you also have the option to just apologize to the facility DON again and see if you can restart and make sure you evaluate the situation a little better next time. We all learn our lessons...

  7. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have seen high numbers psychiatric patients with medical diagnosis's over the years-- many years. Some may not have been diagnosed yet, but were suspected of having mental health issues. Many times,...

  8. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes....so true. The crossovers make it difficult to place people adequately...and , hopefully, those situations are *mostly temporary. LTACH might be a place to go for some. In general, I was...

  9. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Great! Maybe I'll come work there! I like units that work

  10. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    They should have sought to find some good protocols that worked for these people and the staff. It was an opportunity they didn't take to make things

  11. Some days.......

    NursesRmofun replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I zoned out taking algebra in HS...thinking of boys, maybe. I passed but really didn't know what I was doing years later when I was thinking of entering nursing school....and then had to take alegbra...

  12. Some days.......

    NursesRmofun replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I love this!

  13. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I think I might like a position like yours', as long as I didn't get hit. lol I like the idea that it's not a situation where you see the patient for days in a row (hopefully). You treat and send them...

  14. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I wish we had a unit just for psych/medical. We really could use it! I'm not even saying I want to work there, but I think it is a needed

  15. Tired of being angry

    NursesRmofun replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    I think what you are feeling is common! It has become the way of the world, so to speak. It's not being dealt with, and quite the opposite at times! All I can say is- you are not alone! Take some time...

  16. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    NursesRmofun replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have worked in many places like this over the years. It is fairly typical. When you are new, it is not often "fair". You may (your choice) have to toughen up at bit- or else you may find yourself...

  17. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Emergency Psych must be interesting! At the same time, it might get scary sometimes....if someone comes out

  18. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I bet it is not boring! It would be interesting to see if the unit has protocols that actually work better than tossing a person with mental health/behavioral issues onto a busy medical floor that has...

  19. Be the Nurse You Would Want As a Patient

    NursesRmofun replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nurses Rock

    Old thread but not closed....sooooo.....just wanted to say, I knew a nurse that I thought I would NOT want as my nurse early on, back in the beginning of my nursing career, when I was an LPN. She was...

  20. Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting! So

  21. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    NursesRmofun replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, this *is the internet. Not all things told are truths here. But I now believe you make that- in general. I should have looked it up to see pay had indeed gone up. Good luck with your...

  22. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    NursesRmofun replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It seems the pay is much higher in CA,...even higher than the last time I checked....which wasn't recently. Good for California...just didn't immediately believe it or look it up. I stand corrected on...

  23. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    NursesRmofun replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL Glad you think it's funny. And I already said, if you make that much, good for you. I don't always believe everything I read on anonymous forums. Only you know what you make--- (Oh, and those you...

    NursesRmofun replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Bahaha! It does have a special ring to

  25. Some days.......

    NursesRmofun replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I've been around (off and on) for a long time, and I have learned to take what I need and leave the rest, for the most part. I have learned that on AN, you may get a short answer - very plain and...
