  1. Unfair Shift Rotation

    Just don't do it and be aware that you may have to find another job. You don't have to justify your reasons or try to figure out why others don't have to and you do. Some refuse to and in the lovely...
  2. Fentanyl Patch med error

    I guess I am just different because I don't care who you are, I will not be disrespected in such a manner. I have confronted my manager, Drs. and techs on their abusive comments. I learned along time...
  3. Taking the Nclex for the 5th time 2016

    It is very simple. You don't understand the basics, or you are panicking due to the test itself. You are fresh out of school so I won't say you need a refresher course. I think you need to try to...
  4. Ugghhh, another new nurse...

    Most new are excited about working and haven't been in it long enough to feel the burn-out. They are like, "O I will get this and that
  5. Ugghhh, another new nurse...

    I am glad for new nurses, I think we should all appreciate them more, heck someone will have to carry the torch when we older nurses wake up one morning, sit on the side of our beds prior to going to...
  6. License approved with criminal background!!!

    There will always be openings and I am glad it worked out for
  7. "I thought they liked me..."

    Honestly until I get the job offer, sign the agreement, physically step foot in the facility (working my agreed to shift) and get my first pay check (just kidding on this one), I never assume I got...
  8. How do you chart?

    The assessment is based on the current situation with your patient. The patients history should already be in the system based on their admission, if not it can be added. However your focus is to...
  9. What offends you (nursing related)?

    What offends me is having to hear about a nurses spouse or boyfriends problems at work for most of the 12 hour shift knowing that the person doesn't want help, just wants to complain. The reason I...
  10. Lied to in Interview

    It is rather hypocritical that employees are allowed to be lied to in a interview yet if we lie, we risk loosing are jobs. I used to be a rehab nurse and it takes a special type of person to do that...
  11. Disloyal for looking for another job

    I left a job after working at it for 9 months. Many people convinced me to stay put for two years. I am glad that I didn't listen because I got the job of my dreams. It is everything that I have...
  12. When to Get Pregnant

    I am going to try to get pregnant when I am forty and then again at 42. It isn't something I promote for others but it works for me. I have too much going on right now to do it now. If it is meant to...
  13. F's and W will i be able to get a job in nursing?

    Do you really want to be nurse and do you know what you are signing yourself up for? Maybe if it is in your heart to do it, you will do better. You can turn things around but your will have to work...
  14. Three attempts and no success

    Try the Kaplan. I would pay for the Q bank and go over those questions until I could not take it
  15. Boldness to Speak

    This area is a very sensitive and touchy subject, be careful how you go about
  16. Job Dilemma!

    I wouldn't have quit the BSN program because by doing that you have limited your options. Try to get back into school and find a balance between work and school. I can't say I truly understand what...
  17. Strong Personalities on my unit and a rude CNA

    You need to tell her that your issues need to be resolved and if you two can't do it together, a third party will need to be brought in. Everyone has a boss even the head
  18. Resigning after 3 months

    I would stay with it because it is certain, meaning you have a job and on top that your boss and coworkers have said that you are doing fine. Many people work jobs that don't give them the unicorns...
  19. New Nurse feeling very down

    Well school doesn't really prepare you to operate as if you have been a working nurse for several years. Skills take some time to learn. You really learn by doing and making mistakes. Just make sure...
  20. 6 months in the ED -- should I "get it" by now?

    ....stick it
  21. 6 months in the ED -- should I "get it" by now?

    Prioritize....You seem to know what to do, you just need to get organized. What can wait?, what can't?. When I take notes and organize my day, in my head or on my papers I have things numbered...
  22. I hope you are able to overcome this ordeal and I hope it doesn't affect future jobs. If you feel it is worth the fight then stick it out, if you have other options away from medication, maybe do...
  23. Supervisor nit picks again

    I think you need to so some soul searching and what is she picking on you about? Is it something that can get you written up about or is is just small stuff. Either way the behavior isn't necessary....
  24. New nurse, feeling discouraged. Please help!

    Well you certainly are your own worse enemy. You need to calm down and stop being so hard on yourself. You have to learn how to be a nurse. It takes time so take your time. You won't make it, if you...
  25. New Grad to ICU / Multiple Job offers

    I think it takes a special type of nurse to work in the ICU. I was almost offered an ICU position but due to not having my BSN I didn't get it. It ended up being a blessing in end because I ended up...
