    2BS Nurse replied to 2BS Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Do I have to do bedside nursing as a new grad?

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you want to have all future doors open to you (I.e. travel nursing), try to get at least one year of med surg under your belt. Clinic nursing is definitely not linear (lots of interruptions)....

    Why am I asked to fix things that are NOT my job?

    2BS Nurse replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in General Nursing

    I do NOT have XY chromosomes. I have fixed IT issues. It's either that, or wait a week for our understaffed IT dept to show

    Vasovagal hypotension

    2BS Nurse replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Extremely common. I ask every patient if they are feeling dizzy before and after after giving any vaccine. I've heard of this happening when patients get botox and dermal

    I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    2BS Nurse replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you'll be fired. You pretty much have to kill someone to get fired these days. You're going to dread going to work every day. Can you hang on a little longer while job

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    2BS Nurse replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Many times I had to administer IM Rocephin when I didn't think it was necessary. One provider may deem the antibiotic beneficial and order it. A second provider may choose to order oral antibiotics. A...

    Central lines v PICCs

    2BS Nurse replied to Catherine Mackey's topic in General Nursing

    There must be a good Youtube video that explains these! I watched a nurse insert PICCs all over the hospital once. She was

    New nurse practitioner here Please help

    2BS Nurse replied to amc248's topic in Advanced Practice

    I can't believe you are seeing 20-25 patients per day. That's ridiculous! It takes more than 15 minutes to discuss an insulin pump!! I know of an endo who works with a PA. They see that many between...

    Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    2BS Nurse replied to andrusia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have gotten some great influenza vaccinations at pharmacies and I've known medical assistants in clinics to give them wrong. I don't think the venue matters that

    Anyone regret leaving the clinic for remote job?

    What types of jobs are you all doing remotely? Did you stay with your current company, or go elsewhere? Do your companies provide the computer

    Outpatient Specialty Offices

    2BS Nurse replied to JBMmom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." I find myself repeating this mantra over and over. We are expected to be doormats for our patients to walk all over. Patients know how to play the game......

    2BS Nurse replied to northmississippi's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    At least 2 years of experience working under the qualifying profession (not required to be in diabetes) the 4 years preceding application. What does "not required to be in diabetes" mean?? 1000...

    Patient complaint - Did I mishandle this situation?

    2BS Nurse replied to lily8424's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I deal with these patients all the time in the outpatient setting. When a patient doesn't get what they want, they write nasty messages to my provider about me through MyChart messaging. This is...

    No Interest/Passion In Being A Nurse

    2BS Nurse replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I believe staff is not using the Employee Assistance Programs because they believe this would leave a mark on their records. Does the employer have access to this information?? Unfortunately, seeking...

    RNs being phased out of urgent care?

    2BS Nurse replied to cowan19's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'm sitting here laughing because our providers would NEVER attempt that skill! I suppose the true "walk in" clinics still exist, but most Urgent Cares are required to pick up the slack for their EDs...

    No Interest/Passion In Being A Nurse

    2BS Nurse replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Don't compare yourselves to others. We have a lot of martyr-type personalities working in nursing. Some nurses will constantly put their job ahead of their own (and family's) needs and I've witnessed...

    2BS Nurse replied to atxgirly's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you are willing to move, the job market isn't "terrible". They can't find enough nurses in my area of the country. I know that moving is not an option for many

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    2BS Nurse replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Very typical. I do believe you. Our written communication says "clinicians notes". I'm not sure how they are defining "clinicians". We haven't had a single phone call or complaint about too many email...
