    Workitinurfava replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    Do you trust him with your life, should something be

  2. New grad as a unit manager

    Workitinurfava replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just keep your finger's crossed that something doesn't hit the fan and go wrong because when it does, I feel you will be the first to go should a choice be made. You are easier to get rid of if a...

  3. I want interactions with patients but not bedside : Suggestions?

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

    I work in psych and I don't consider that bedside. I am not trying to offend anyone if I do. It is not easy work by any means. I don't work in a hospital. Working as a psych nurse is the best choice I...

  4. ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    Workitinurfava replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    The whole thing is backwards. I feel that even with the higher level degree, there won't be enough positions and the compensation will eventually be decreased. Hopefully we won't find tons of MSN...

  5. New nurse.. Just want to quit everything..

    Workitinurfava replied to nohseungjin's topic in General Nursing

    You are being taken advantage of most likely because you are a new nurse and you "really need the experience as an RN". Move on and take it as a lesson. Some times you have to walk away. Your sanity...

  6. Brave or just stupid?

    Workitinurfava replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nursing allows you the opportunity to work as a nurse before going for advanced practice. How do you know if it is something you will like to do? The high salary you are quoting, it is based on a...

  7. Out of 10 year hibernation. Am I overloading classes?

    Workitinurfava replied to Ladybug0409's topic in General Nursing

    Get back into your flow, so start slow and once you get it down, then you could speed up. You could make up for the extra class or two you didn't take. There are some classes I thought wouldn't...

  8. Injection Gone Wrong: Part 3

    Workitinurfava replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Some people give shots like they have to push the needle in to the point it shows through the other side of the arm. I worked as a flu shot nurse and have given thousands of flu shots over the years....

  9. Should I start out on night shift?

    Workitinurfava replied to heather.verbs's topic in General Nursing

    If you have to take it to get a job, do so. Just get your foot in the door. If you just can't hang after 6 months ask for days or apply elsewhere for a day shift

  10. 2.5 GPA and Desire to go for FNP

    Workitinurfava replied to JanetFNP2b's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You will have to push yourself more and have more confidence. If you aren't willing to do that, then no, you don't stand a chance. Even after you do those things nothing is guaranteed but you will...

    Workitinurfava replied to LissRN07's topic in Critical Care

  12. Call it a hunch.

    Workitinurfava replied to bigd82's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is all about learning and it never stops. This won't be the last time that you question if you did everything right. Always do your best and move forward. You will keep

    Workitinurfava replied to jersey1993's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It may be harder to get out of if later if you stick it out...keep that in

  14. ICU to OB--new grad

    Workitinurfava replied to EastCoRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is keeping you from leaving?, if it is others opinion then just let it go. Some sort of happiness is priceless. I worked in similar setting and left med-surg altogether. I planned to leave...

  15. HELP!?! New in a SICU... already cried... totally terrified

    Workitinurfava replied to jlv613's topic in Critical Care

    That nurse is trying to toughen you up to the reality of the stress of the job. Before you are put in the numbers (on the schedule without a preceptor), figure out if the position is for you....

  16. Don't flame me for this

    Workitinurfava replied to future_RN, CNA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Big adjustment from most likely a very light medical psych facility to a very heavy medical tele floor. I just left a similar floor for psych because I didn't think it was a good fit for me. I started...

  17. Magnet vs. Closer to home

    Workitinurfava replied to pleasenocdif's topic in General Nursing

    No guarantee on anything because of the title. Close doesn't mean better and neither does the title of Magnet status. Do you know of anyone that works at any of these hospitals who could give you the...

  18. Is nursing still for me?

    Workitinurfava replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe go part-time or prn. I just recently took a prn position because I reached a point of super exhaustion and I am not pregnant. I do have a 4 year old though and I am finishing up my bachelors....

  21. I feel like I'm losing.

    Workitinurfava replied to Amethya's topic in School

    You are being used and if I were you I would clarify my duties and make real sure that you aren't working outside the scope of your title. You could get into some serious trouble down the line. You...

  22. other side of the coin. again.

    Workitinurfava replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Some of it is short staffing and the heavy workloads that the nurses have to deal with. There is never a reason to not be nice or helpful but the stress of dealing with all that the job requires can...
