  1. What does it take to succeed in the ICU?

    beekee replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! Confidence has always been my downfall, even though I know I’m a very good

  2. Patient fall

    beekee replied to littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    You are human. Humans make mistakes. The important thing is no one was hurt and that you learn from it. Be kind to

  3. In a perfect world, how would YOU like to see nursing education improved?

    beekee replied to WestCoastSunRN's topic in General Nursing

    Simulations should be real world scenarios that a first year nurse might see. You sit down for your day and see these labs and your assessment, what medications would you hold. You assess your patient...

  4. Is it like this everywhere now?

    beekee replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    The answer is always more charting, my friend. More carting solves everything, according to

  5. What might be going on?

    beekee replied to Bagatha's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Find another job ASAP. They are telling you that you have a month to do so, and if you don’t, you will be fire. Happens all the time to older, more expensive

  6. 2019 Salary Survey Results Part 1 - Demographics

    beekee replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    “What is the highest nursing degree you have?” has a big slice of the pie that’s labeled “no response 0%.” Is it mislabeled? No response and LPN look to be the same

  7. Is it like this everywhere now?

    beekee replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. This is how it is now. Management will have pet projects that are low priorities, but easy to measure. Make sure you do those things to stay off their radar. Everything else is optional because...

  8. Feeling embarrassed, ask the md a stupid question

    beekee replied to RobertJo's topic in General Nursing

    Never be afraid to ask a stupid question. We don’t go to medical school. Some MDs seem to like to belittle nurses for sport. I suspect it’s to intimidate us into “bothering” them less. Trust...

  9. Gender Separation and Nursing for American Muslim Man

    beekee replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just a thought.... would be it be ok for you to learn about caring for a female just in case if you were ever in a situation where it was an emergency? If you are interested in humanitarian work,...

  10. Gender Separation and Nursing for American Muslim Man

    beekee replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    In the hospital, we are required to do skin checks on all our patients every shift. This includes the groin, buttocks and breast areas. Assessments of the heart and lungs, ADLs and procedures like...

  11. BON and alleged verbal abuse via pt

    beekee replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Please make an appointment with a therapist. Although we are only seeing a small glimpse of you, you don’t seem to be thinking clearly or rationally. I wish you all the best and good

  12. Nurses Week Gift Jackpot!

    beekee replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That’s all I got. I’ll be happy with my

  13. Nursing Assistants

    beekee replied to Bri1231's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work (US), nursing assistants take vitals, check blood glucose levels and do EKGs. They do not draw labs. They can empty foleys, JP drains, etc. They can remove foleys and peripheral IVs, but...

  14. Nurses Week Gift Jackpot!

    beekee replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Nice! We get a “Happy Hospital Week” email. Woo

  15. Is this normal??!?!

    beekee replied to Gemini616's topic in General Nursing

    I’d be worried if you didn’t feel

  16. Help with new grad RN orientation/Added shifts

    beekee replied to ICU.RN23's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve had a couple new grads (towards the end of orientation) that seem to do better when I explicitly tell them that these are YOUR patients. YOU are responsible for them. I am here to answer...

  17. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    beekee replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

    What does your therapist say? Do

  18. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    beekee replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, I’m surprised you haven’t been fired already. Not because you live in a van. But because you are parking on private property without permission and basically living in your place of...

  19. Med reconciliation

    beekee replied to schoolforever's topic in General Nursing

    Once I get responses like “is that the red one?” or “my son sets them up for me,” I give up and put in a pharmacy consult. Anything I do is going to be wrong anyway. Med rec is always a...

  20. First Code Blue

    beekee replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you did what you were suppose to do and everything turned out fine. Good job! Even if the outcome was different, you did what you were suppose to do and I’d still say good job....

  21. Should I become a CNA OR MA?

    beekee replied to heavwhit's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA. Yes, it’s the dirty work. It’s also the work you will do as a nurse. It is a quick and inexpensive introduction to nursing. You will be able to network and work with nurse. Some nursing...

  22. STATE FOR NCLEX EXAM

    beekee replied to Okotie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, you can’t just get a compact license in another state and work in Texas if you live in Texas. You can take the NCLEX in another state (if you meet that state’s requirements) and then get a...

  23. STATE FOR NCLEX EXAM

    beekee replied to Okotie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What state are you

  24. Is it appropriate to say I have nursing experience if I have worked as a nurse's aide?

    beekee replied to floatingrib's topic in Nursing Career

    Absolutely not. You will lose all credibility once they figure out you

  25. Fiancé considering starting all over to become Pharmacist

    beekee replied to NotANurseBut90's topic in Nursing Career

    If you peruse sites similar to allnurses for pharmacists, you will find a lot of people complaining about the lack of job prospects for pharmacists and job dissatisfaction. That, obviously, doesn’t...
