    How important is it to you to be a nurse?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very proud to be a nurse. During my first few years of nursing - especially year #2, when I got into hospital work - it was a huge part of my identity. But it wasn't solely because of the career...

    New nurse on the floor

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Tinkers33's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have access to a pharmacist or pharmacy reference through the employer? I was never taught that you must administer every med separately, but that you must check compatibility. They're all...

    Verbal Offer/Waiting for Written Offer

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to cmd1098's topic in General Nursing

    Are you concerned that the offer isn't official yet? I have only received email job offers; if there is an attached offer letter file, it's valid. If the email does not contain an offer specifying...

    New to the field!

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    *Dad looks at baby* *Dad looks at his legs* *Dad looks at baby again* *Dad raises an eyebrow at Mom* Are school nurses the most lively bunch on AN or does the website just think I want to see SN posts...

    Broken

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to NotAllWhoWandeRN's topic in General Nursing

    The doc and I had a talk about communication... She said she is not meaning to sound skeptical/accusing, but that she can tell I am driven and restless with the length of time I've been down, and is...

    Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, & GenY/Millennials: Can We Work Together?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    "Generations" are arbitrary except perhaps markers such as very low or high birth rates, like the baby boomers, that can directly affect life in a short period of time. While I do believe that there...

    Opinions on nursing students?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to milesims's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My general impression is that nursing students, like nurses, are not a homogenous collective that can be summed up, boxed, and

    04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Carpuject vials are evil! I learned quickly the first time I blew a patient's Dilaudid all over the room. Where I work now they actually have the cases needed to administer directly from carpuject...

    What offends you (nursing related)?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    No survey, but people seemed to lap it right up. I have to admit that the speaker was personable, well-spoken, and above all extremely charismatic. He had some good things to say, and I took notes....

    I'm having trouble finding the smoking mention and I'm a newb who doesn't know how to multiquote, so I'll preface that I am replying to the idea that there is an epidemic of vaccine reactions as...

    What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    In my small town Med-Surg unit, we had a frequent flyer because one of our urologists would cater to her. She'd get a "kidney stone" on a regular basis (once over Thanksgiving), demand a Dilaudid PCA,...

    Believing in right and wrong and believing that actions have consequences do not mean that I am taking anyone's choices away. Laws that exist to prevent you from harming others do not make this a...

    Been there, done that, got the scrub top. It took me a few hard knocks to figure out that I don't owe a dangerous workplace a darn thing. DO think of whether you are burning any bridges - e.g. never...

    The right to swing your fist ends where another man's nose begins. If you make a decision, that decision has ramifications regarding what you can and cannot do as a result. For example, you have the...
