MJJFan1 BSN, RN

Was years ago but I took it about a month after graduation. I had one review book but honestly there’s nothing you can truly study that will prepare you for it. It was critical thinking. 76 questions, 2 days later I had preliminary pass results. Most...

You’re better off knowing your common diagnosis admitted to the unit and then the treatments/labs/tests/meds that go along with that

Hello all. I am seeking ideas. Currently our facility use wristbands that display warning indicators such as fall risk, allergy, restricted extremity, and DNR. Well we’ve found that when status’ change, our staff are not updating the wristband softwa...

We are in a pandemic. Everyone, experienced or not is being dragged into the unknown. We have PACU nurses working on our dedicated COVID unit. They are straight losing it. Everything is totally new for them in the med/surg atmosphere. We are all...

Well I actually opted out of benefits when I started nursing and was paid $10 more per hour, so that’s why I figured that could be why.

Go with your gut!!

Get it girl ? that makes it even sweeter

I’ve gone around the merry go round with idea after idea: mortuary, day care, sober living home, halfway house....I just can’t decide. My heart says mortuary but every time I think about going back to school for mortuary science, I just go ?....

Try Mosby’s nursing skills

Great points made TriciaJ

Good information. How do you drive traffic to the content though?

So is that one post? Or do you have multiple topics? It just seems like the page goes on and on (a lot of scrolling). I love the theme. Do you have an affiliate for the products? If not, get them and get paid for advertising.

I’ll burst the cherry.

Maybe she’s paid more because she opted out of benefits (insurance, PTO).

We should be allowed to remain true to our morals. As long as we are able to secure a willing staff member, shouldn’t be a problem

It’s a learning experience for you. Don’t beat yourself up, although that’s easy for me to say but I know you feel different. It’ll bother you for a long time probably but this will never happen again on your watch because now you’ve experienced som...

I think it starts with nursing schools. There seems to be such a difference from when I came through. I believe we should also invest more in our preceptors. That’s what makes or breaks new nurses.

Need some advice from you all. Here is my dilemma: I'm stuck with a decision on which job to take. 1. Nurse Manager, med-surg on a unit that I previously worked and was detailed to for a short while as nurse manager. I am really on the fence with thi...

Hello all, I'm going to get right to it: I found employment at a local hospital. I began hospital orientation on 6/6/2011 and floor orientation on 06/12/2011 (I've worked a total of 3 twelves). Make a long story short, I don't like working at this pl...

No don't mistake me. I'm saying in my experience, it's been that way and I said it's not just the older nurses that are bitter, bad, and ugly.

Thanks

Oh yes, this other place is actually the first hospital I ever worked at---left there for a contracting job on a military installation hoping to go civil service so I can add to my Marine Corps retirement---I didn't leave there on bad terms at all. C...

I don't think you are rude or condescending. I have come across the bitter, bad, and ugly. Most of the time it is older nurses (older being those that were nursing back in 76 or those that are age 66 or so----lol) but sometimes the bitter can be thos...

I've read up on the subject and I've gotta take this assessment for med/surg I reckon for employment purposes.....does anyone have any helpful hints or areas of focus?

Cool, some of that seems IMC in nature
