I probably would not have stopped paging the doctor and documented with quotes his refusal to see the patient in a timely manor. And then pages his supervisor or attending and apologize for calling them, but said resident isn't responding.

Maybe sit down with a picc nurse and talk about the ins and outs.

Money is everything. I need a specific date off that coincides with our rotating already scheduled for us weekends. Well our incentive program changes before the date. Someone said they totally would cover for me, but because they won't get their ex...

Stay away from Carhart.

I adapt quickly and I ware on people the longer I'm with them. Having just one home unit would not end well.

I worked at two magnet hospitals as a cna before I graduated. Both are ranked number one and two in staff turnover. One of the floor directors found it to be such a headache that he left the hospital and the system for a floor job.

I pick up 4 hour shifts all the time hoping I just get to task.

Well hopefully you work at my hospital because I'm off for the next three nights. I had a 8 day lay off a few weeks ago and I came back to an email describing what they found. Was excited that I missed it...nope was I missed were the words from anot...

I wore some nike shox that we're all where with grey shox. All white shoes are idiotic. I know rock pretty much any pair of pearl Izumi or mizuno.

They bought everyone a new cardio III stethoscope.

Personally I feel, never take a pay cut if you don't have too.

Starting IV's is all about getting a comfortable routine that you can replicate. Getting comfortable with almost perfect conditions to get to the point where you'll be successful in less-than-perfect situations. Know your landmarks, finding a vein i...

I'm alright with myself. I prefer the term murse.

Residents, fellows, and attendings always in the building. Never had to use one.

Borrow a classmates book for a day, scan every page, give it back too them.

Sounds like the nurse was cath-floing their picc.

I float.

I work in a level one trauma center, we code frequently and we don't have a code team. The first time doing compressions on a person, it was weird for the first couple seconds, but then that disappears quickly. Just remember to throw your stethosco...

Worry about your own charting.

Some of the units I float to literally have new grads fresh of orientation, few weeks up to 4 months orienting new grads. It's truly bonkers. There is literally one who is orienting a classmate. And we're talking nurses who don't understand that jus...

Floating makes you more attractive to future employers. Shows you're flexible, adaptable, experienced in several different areas giving you multiple points of view. Someone who might not always know the answer, but knows how to find it. Never afraid ...

I'd say 60% of what I learned.

For the 2 years I worked as a cna etc in a hospital change in my chosen state you could always find me making a crack about how crappy one hospital was. Without fail, you don't like it here imagine working at that hospital etc. So when that hospitals...

You can come float at my level one trauma center if you'd like.

Sure.
