    Hands on Training in school?

    Wuzzie replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in General Nursing

    “Totally responsible” is probably not a good description. Back in the day clinical groups were small, maybe 4 students, so assuming a large part of the care for the patients assigned to us...

    Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    Wuzzie replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    “I will say that my ABSN clinical instructors said they felt the ADN (2 year RNprograms) did a better job of teaching skills than most BSN programs. However, skills are only one...

    Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    Wuzzie replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Wow that’s quite a leap there and not one bit accurate. It’s pretty presumptuous of you to put words in my mouth. When you’re ready to have a calm dialogue minus the accusations and histrionics...

    It doesn't prove anything at all other than you didn't grasp what I was

    Where to go after ER nursing

    Wuzzie replied to Lasanga123's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I went to outpatient oncology. No weekends, holidays or nights. Patients that actually need me because they’re sick, very sick but we also get to know them really well. Autonomy, respect from the...

    Just wanted to tell you that your attitude is great and will really help you recover from this blow. Best wishes as you find your nursing niche...and you

    Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    Wuzzie replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Okay then what was the issue? It's really hard for us to help without an idea of where things went wrong. We don't need explicit details but a general idea. For instance, if they said "you aren't a...

    Suspended for touching a child's head and face

    Wuzzie replied to GG66's topic in Emergency

    I don't doubt this one bit. CYA mentality in all its glory. Look what happened to me. You'd think that if actually beat a child there might be some law enforcement involved but there wasn't. This was...

    Good Lord I didn't even think of that! ? This could go all sorts of south. I agree, get an attorney and

    Suspended for touching a child's head and face

    Wuzzie replied to GG66's topic in Emergency

    Similar thing happened to me for patting the diapered butt of a toddler that was hysterical from having an axillary temp taken. It was a "pat,pat,you're done buddy" kind of thing. Mom said I "beat"...

    Are Braids Professional?

    As long as they're pulled back in such a manner that they don't swing forward of your shoulders I think they look

    I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    Point of clarification..."old school" does not necessarily mean "not evidence based". However, wrong is always

    I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    That or you explain why their rebuttal isn't correct at the time and then they rebut your rebuttal. ? That's what sets me off. I've shared this before: Newbie: "What tubes go to blood bank?" Me: "Two...

    How was your Nurse Residency Experience

    JUST CURIOUS! After completing a new graduate residency program, when can I request a transfer to a specialty unit?

    Wuzzie replied to AspiringICUnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody was being condescending to you. I think you might need to slow your roll just a little. It's more like when they feel you are ready. At one year of experience you're still a novice. Take this...

    Why do I always look high at work?

    Wuzzie replied to Ella2598's topic in General Nursing

    Ticks me off that I even have to write this but I totally second what she said. People are a-holes and will talk. I'd look at talking to your manager pronto as a preemptive strike. All it takes is...

    Question about license

    Wuzzie replied to Muncie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm sorry to say but probably not however, the North Carolina Nursing Board would be your best source of information. That being said, I applaud you for moving forward with your life and wish you the...

    Appropriate use of AED?

    Wuzzie replied to SoCal student's topic in General Nursing

    Not gonna lie I KNOW I’d respond with “what part of automatic do you not understand” while holding up the machine and pointing at where it said

    Appropriate use of AED?

    Wuzzie replied to SoCal student's topic in General Nursing

    There’s a tiny chance he was just trying to get a history of the events and everyone’s emotions were a bit riled up making people uber sensitive but honestly he probably was being condescending....

    Possible error in judgement?

    When you are unsure or something just doesn't add up it's always best to contact the provider. Nobody should ever fault you for

    Too bad you can't post the EKG. That would help immensely. It's hard to tell what was going on without
