  1. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Workitinurfava replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    So much can be taken from this situation. One thing is to cover your butt. If you are assigned to train someone else make sure you are doing your job the best you can. If you have to risk you license...

  3. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Workitinurfava replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in a teaching hospital I would catch a lot of doctors mistakes, and it was unbelieveable. I would call the doctor and say, you put this in but the medication amount is too high or you...

  4. I think I'm gonna quit nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know of many nurses that work in informatics. I do know of more IT professionals going for their nursing degree after working in IT and getting nursing informatics degrees/positions though. I...

  5. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Workitinurfava replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Safe-guards are not really there for nurses when you look at the short staffing, having to train someone and make no mistakes. The training is not long enough. Support is lacking. It is an illusion to...

  7. You must watch me!

    Workitinurfava replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone who developed a drug habit and over-dosed at home from hospital meds (crushed meds put in a syringe). The person was not giving the full syringe of meds at the bedside, was not always...

  8. Older Doctor doesn't think nurses should be in charge

    Workitinurfava replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    The doctor did not have a good attitude. I was once interviewed by a unit secretary and it threw me for a loop because I thought, how will the person know what to ask, due to not having nursing...

  10. Threatened by employer

    Workitinurfava replied to wengee's topic in General Nursing

    At-least he was honest despite how messed up what he said is. Sometimes you can't get that. You can choose to keep working there but you will need to cover you

  11. I think I'm gonna quit nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    How many positions have you had and what type of experience do you have? It is hard for me to suggest something without knowing your nursing experience. I am in the midst of starting a new position...

  12. I don’t know what to say ???

    Workitinurfava replied to JenMH88RN's topic in General Nursing

    Med-surg oncology nursing is a tough area of nursing, in fact it is one the easiest to burn-out in. You will really need to look up this area of nursing. It is a rewarding area of nursing but the...

  13. Overwhelmed in my last semester.

    Workitinurfava replied to PurplePens's topic in General Students

    Have confidence. You sound very aware of who you are. Hush those voices telling you, you can't handle things because you can. Use some of that anxiety for the good and get rid of the bad. I studied...

    Workitinurfava replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    It is all a matter of making this career work for you. Try out all the different options that the nursing field offers. Bullies are everywhere and in every field. Back them down. I have never let...

  15. Am I the *******?

    Workitinurfava replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    I left psych about 6 months ago. I have been fortunate to always fall on my feet. I have been working as a triage nurse for a month in a clinic and it is less stressful than all of the positions I...

  16. How can I handle this

    Workitinurfava replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    One word, "unsupported". You are trying to do your job but are not being supported. People are going behind your back and your hire up is a major part of the problem. I would start with her

  20. 41 yr. old business executive going to Nursing School

    Workitinurfava replied to ESP808's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are doing this for others and are not aware of what you are signing up for by becoming a nurse. Many nurses work their jobs and don't feel like Florence Nightingale. They also don't...

    Workitinurfava replied to thenurseguy88's topic in Nursing Career

    Stress doesn't give some one the right to abuse you but some people can't handle it and choose not to. People will take it out on you sometimes. Pick and choose your battles. On the flip side, go in...

  22. VA nurse job with Other Than Honorable Discharge

    Workitinurfava replied to jlambirt's topic in Government, Military

    I am a VET. I don't think you will be hired but it can't hurt to try. I say this because a background check will be conducted and it will probably be found out. You have to answer questions about...

  24. How do you take blood pressures for 90 people?

    Workitinurfava replied to wandwaving's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't kill yourself. Do what you can and ask for help. That is insane! Target the patients with blood pressure issues first and rotate the out others. Sally, Bob and Joe get bps these two weeks....

    Workitinurfava replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    If you have sick leave use it. It is better than going to work with a mind that is somewhat in the clouds due to your depressed feeling. That sets you up for failure. Nursing can be draining and I...
