  1. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    quazar replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    This is also true. They have to rotate nurses who precept at my hospital, because they can get burned out from orienting new nurses too much. The frequent preceptors, as nice as they are, have...

  2. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    quazar replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Wonderful. Glad to hear it. Now, where is your clinical instructor during all of this? I ask because when I have a student (I work in L&D), I do my absolute best to sit down with him/her and go...

  3. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    quazar replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. WOW. When I was in school, I had to go to the unit the night before and research my patient and was expected to know all about them, including their scheduled meds, by the time I arrived bright...

  4. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    quazar replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, hence why I stated that I agreed with the previous posters who recommend against doing

  5. What annoys you most in your daily tasks?

    quazar replied to mangi's topic in General Nursing

    I secretly enjoy changing out a full sharps box. There's something so satisfying to me about taking that full box out and replacing it with a fresh box. Yes, I'm

  6. New Grad afraid to start working!

    quazar replied to anxiouspn's topic in General Nursing

    You're completely normal, and I think just about everyone feels like that as a new grad. Heck, even now, 19 years later, sometimes it occurs to me that I have quite literally delivered other people's...

  7. Advice on which job to take

    quazar replied to georgia6's topic in General Nursing

    Job 2 or 3 for me personally. Their training is longer, and even though it's not always a sign of anything bad, sign on bonuses make me leery. That's my own personal bias,

  8. What annoys you most in your daily tasks?

    quazar replied to mangi's topic in General Nursing

    And THIS, right here, ladies and gents, is why I want a scribe.

  9. In the Hospital: Rumors & Gossip

    quazar replied to Wake88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I honestly have no good advice except to leave if you can. I have worked in toxic environments like that, and I left as quickly as I possibly could. Places like that will give you an ulcer and...

  10. What annoys you most in your daily tasks?

    quazar replied to mangi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm imagining a place with coffee flowing freely and kittens romping in the halls. But that's just

  11. What annoys you most in your daily tasks?

    quazar replied to mangi's topic in General Nursing

    Charting. I need a scribe. Preferably one with mind reading capabilities. That would be the best Christmas gift

  12. I Don't Think He Meant To Hurt Me

    quazar replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Private Duty

    Oh no, don't worry about it, I know you weren't trying to disparage him. :) My son is large for his age and omg he can REALLY hurt you, even if he doesn't always mean to (sometimes he does). There...

  13. Use of cellphones while at work

    quazar replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    I do use my smart phone at work, but just for the calculator app, the flashlight app (that super bright LED is AMAZING), and the gestational wheel app (love that thing). Not for social stuff,

  14. I Don't Think He Meant To Hurt Me

    quazar replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Private Duty

    I have a child with special needs and developmental delays, and am shocked the mother left you unattended with her son when she knew he had a history of aggressive behavior of this kind. It is our...

  15. Stanford Rape

    quazar replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    No, I am not. I specifically stated that in my post if you will re-read it. You're upset and this is a hot button issue for you, and probably triggering. So I'm going to disengage with you because...

  16. Stanford Rape

    quazar replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    *shrug* You're certainly entitled to your

  17. Stanford Rape

    quazar replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an assault victim, but I do have sons. No one is blaming the mother for her son raping. He alone did the raping. However, I do hold this mother accountable for her and her husband's...

  18. Stanford Rape

    quazar replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I had no idea the mother was a GYN nurse. That particular fact floors and disturbs me greatly (it goes without saying that the rest of the story is hideous). As an OB nurse, I have dealt with...

  19. Embarrassing topic: sweating

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Y'all are awesome! Thank you so much! Okay, I'm gonna try the Mitchum, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to try the sweat block

  20. Embarrassing topic: sweating

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    LOL! It doesn't bother me at all, no worries. :) I have no clue what the physiologic mechanism is that makes botox work, but people get it injected in their armpits all the time, so hey....maybe it...

  21. Embarrassing topic: sweating

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well, cotton string bikini (female), and yeah, I definitely stick to cotton. I refuse to wear a thong, sorry. I can't stand the feeling of anything deliberately shoved INTO my crack. I wonder if...

  22. Is Anyone A Highly Sensitive Nurse?

    quazar replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just wanna say that as an autism mom, and the mom of 2 kids with flaming sensory processing issues, that some here may benefit from exploring adult sensory processing disorder. This book is...

  23. anyone know of any other jobs

    quazar replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Pharmaceutical sales rep? I know of nurses that went into that, and clinical research as

  24. Tips and tricks

    quazar replied to pandeube888's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started out (and even sometimes now), I use a paper check list. Little boxes and everything. Sometimes having a paper brain really helps, and makes sure nothing gets lost in the...

  25. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    quazar replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Dag nabbit. You were asking someone else, not me. Brain fart.
