The Nurse Manager calls you into her office to have a conference with you. You have been working at this facility for a year and a half and have had no other conference with her since your employment (neither positive or negative). Even your annual p...

This is a very interesting subject because It goes on in ICUs and ERs everyday. I have wittnessed euthanasia and assisted suicide several times. It was not called that of course because that would be very un-pc. We call it The right to refuse medical...

I worked a similar schedule for 9 months. I had a weekender day position at one hospital and worked 3 night shifts during the week at another hospital (all 12 hour shifts). I took monday and friday off to sleep and switch. I made a ton of money, but ...

I have administered alot of concious sedation in the ER and in the ICU. The key to know where the line is as far as what is anesthesia's responsibility and where your privaleges stop is in your hospitals policy. It is very important your are familiar...

Stay with the higher pay and study time while you are in school.

Thats great

If it's any consolation, almost no one fails the second time

This is going great, keep going!

What amount of money would you be satisfied with as an RN. Since nursing rates are pretty much the same nationwide (except for cost of living) from $12 to $30 an hour ($24000 to $60000/yr). Give us all an annual dollar amount. I believe it should be ...

Sunshine, Although your story is very amusing it goes to show how the system should work. I commend you on your honesty and courage to bring your mistakes to your supervisor and to admit them to your peers so that we/they can learn from them. Anyone ...

Postal, I find your rebuttal amusing and entertaining. I have a great sympathy for Nursing home staff. My girlfriend left the hospital not long ago to be house supervisor at a nursing home and she found it to be very overbearing. It is so sad that th...

I am waiting for 100 replies or 30 days and I will compile all of the Data. Thanks to all who are participating. Anytime you get a group of people to work together, you accomplish wonderful things.

Kim, I have had many experiences with asthmatic patients. Please feel free to either post your question here or e-mail me directly. Good luck with your studies and remember,It never gets any easier but if it did, everyone would do it>

No offense, but I think the idea of a national anything is against the American way of life. I think free enterprise should demand a higher range of pay. The Nazi's and the Communist's had national systems and look what happened with that. :-)

Poc, I heard about you. You are by far the most beutiful nurse any one has ever seen. I sent you an e-mail with my phone number. Can we go out sometime?

Yes But how would you get that many nurses to agree on anything. They should have a union and make me King. I would fix it or Off with their heads!

they both suck. Diploma in hospital program is the only way to be an RN. The BSN should come after that. Diploma nurses are the only true nurses. The rest just don't stack up

I 100% agree with this post. The best thing to happen would be for a whole new nursing organization to evolve, the root of this org would be a union of the mass nurses and ca nurses. Then everyone can decide for themselves which organization is best ...
