    It's almost summer! What are your plans?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Avill's topic in School

    *swoons again* I started prepping for backpacking a few years ago, but I was going to go with my brother and his wife, and they decided to start having kids instead. How rude I'm most likely to end...

    Being blamed for fall after shift

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't buy that OP is responsible for a fall that happened after transfer of pt care. Her choices were violate an order or violate policy, and she chose the option that provided better patient care....

    Harassment, Stalking, Impersonation by Psycho Ex... Name Change?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to HopefulVANurse's topic in General Nursing

    Previous posters have had spot on advice. If you want to read up (which, granted, may not be at the top of your priority list), Why Does He Do That? is also an excellent book. You are in danger. Get a...

    Someone in my charts....

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Maevish's topic in General Nursing

    That is clearly not a HIPAA violation, though. If you provided medical care to a patient, that's a valid reason to enter their chart to document the care you provided. If you will be assigned a...

    5/14 WILTW: Healthcare Gymnastics and Revolving Doors

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    Kraken, I usually start with a "Professional Profile" and take a few lines to sell myself. e.g. my time in pharmacy was "Five years experience in a fast-paced healthcare setting" because I had no...

    5/14 WILTW: Healthcare Gymnastics and Revolving Doors

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I have a cat for that. Actually, I wish he would, but the current one has a mind of his own. When I slept on my stomach, my childhood kitty would lie on my back, put his head over one of my shoulders,...

    How much is a normal raise

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    I have never tried to negotiate pay, but I suspect that in many places the "based on experience" is not truly set in stone. My biggest raises have been "market review" raises. Both times, hospitals...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    WILTW: Sorry, nothing great from the clinical aspect here. Reduced work of late means less variety in the experience. WILTW is that lots of people are obsessed with their BMs. Our patients are often...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Goldentreasure's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The Internet is where sarcasm goes to die. The subtleties of inflection, facial expression, and body language that help most of us interpret serious vs. sass can be missing... I promise, that was...

    Is it really that bad?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    That's not entirely fair. I had a good job and was well liked in a small hospital within a well-respected system, but that turned on a dime when they announced they were closing. Management made the...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also 31! At one point when I was a kid, we upgraded to this newfangled thing called a "word processor." Mom held on to the record player for quite some time, though. WILTW (Part 2, because I...

    Is it really that bad?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    I just changed to part-time hours (two 12 hr shifts/wk) and I'm hoping it will relieve many of the nursey burnout factors that have been wearing me down. I'll still earn a living wage (albeit a much...

    Nursing School on 2nd year probation?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    The first-attempt NCLEX pass rate for U.S.-educated students is over 90%. This means the school is substantially worse than the national average for allowing students to graduate who cannot meet the...

    General Rules for Med Surg

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to icthusRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I wonder if it's different wording intended to mean the same thing - like the outside/port of the IV points "away" from the heart? OP, as has been mentioned, the direction is due to the internal...

    New OR nurse who wants to quit in less than 6mos

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to CaliNurseLouisiana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The job not being what you expected and the drive being long are not good reasons to quit, but the hospital violating your contract and putting your license at risk is. I looked into OR at my last job...
