  1. what kind of jobs does a RN do

    control replied to pritampaulsingh's topic in General Nursing

    That's some generalization about Americans....anyway, I did not see your entire post as a joke we were all supposed to get. I highlighted only the parts that I thought weren't necessary. Call it irony...

  2. How do you give next shift report?

    control replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    To answer the original question. I last gave a verbal report, but I prefer a combination of verbal and taped. I say taped because it serves as a record (albeit temporary) in a way... So yeah....

    control replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Your English is much better than my Spanish. No apologies necessary! I take it that English is not your primary language; being bilingual will make you very marketable in this country. It is...

    Quite.

  5. Groped on the job...

    control replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think you did the right thing, definitely. Straight out of school I had a similar experience, but I always thought it was an "accident". Also, being from the South pet names like sweetheart are...

  6. Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    control replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure there are lots of farmers and loggers in California. I know there are lots of farmers and loggers in the southern and midwestern areas of these United States. They do not all share your...

    Ah, from Texas....figures. Joking,

  8. The final straw...vent.

    control replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a similar situation, except lots of junk happened to me in the last 4 6 hours of a 12 hour shift. But you know what? I'd already submitted my letter of resignation prior to even beginning the...

  9. Scope of practice concern

    control replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely read your state's/area's nurse practice law and the hospital policy(ies) on this. Sounds fishy to

  10. what kind of jobs does a RN do

    control replied to pritampaulsingh's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Is this really necessary. Condescending much? The OP said "please guide me" not "please badger me". I never thought I'd be pulling a bed pan's worth of constipated poop out of patients' behinds...

  11. what kind of jobs does a RN do

    control replied to pritampaulsingh's topic in General Nursing

    ITA. I've had to do everything from emptying the garbage (sorry, if it's full, it's out of there) to passing meal trays to doing diabetic teaching to initiating Natrecor drips. As an RN, be prepared...

  12. Are nursing students allowed to give IV push meds?

    control replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the state nurse practice laws. Depends on the hospital's/facility's policy. Depends on the instructor's willingness to risk her license in this regard. Depends on the student's capabilities...

  13. 7p-7a and exercise

    control replied to vinnyvangoh's topic in Health, Stress Management

    When I worked on the floor, I used to go on my days off. Big difference between a 12 and an 8 though, definitely. 8 hour shifts are a breeze, timewise. Now I can't afford to go to the gym...

    If anyone has any info on immigrating from US to Canada, please pm me or post it here.

  16. No More Bedside Nursing, I Quit!

    control replied to cameroondiva's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It depends on the company you work for. In my case, I work for an information processing company which has contracts internationally, but in my area the company has several contracts with the state...

  17. How did you find out about allnurses?

    I found out about this site from another site actually. People were asking questions about nursing and someone provided a link to

  18. No More Bedside Nursing, I Quit!

    control replied to cameroondiva's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All great ideas. Don't forget consulting! I've been a consultant for all of 3 months now and I love it. However, ultimately I'd like to get a degree in public

  19. Does anyone here love their job?

    control replied to elainebenes's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Currently! I have 3 years experience. As I neared the end of my 3rd year I DESPISED my job on a med surg unit. Before that it was tele/stepdown. Before that it was chemical dependency/behavioral unit....
