    Nybon Nursing School Under Investigation

    2BS Nurse replied to Bshade's topic in School, College Programs

    Top Skills for the ER Nurse

    2BS Nurse replied to Christina Whalen's topic in Emergency

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

    If this was an emergent situation, shouldn't she have documented for you so you could enter into the EMR after the situation was settled?? Double documentation in EMR and on paper? Who does...

    Caring for the Caregiver

    2BS Nurse replied to M. Lee RN's topic in General Nursing

    What is something you wish patients, families and/or your coworkers knew about you?

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

    Ditto to what SmilingBluEyes said above. When you hear your coworkers gossping about others, guess what? They are doing the same about you! I really have to get to know and trust someone before I will...

    I Want Decent Health Benefits! Is That Too Much to Ask?

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

    Also adding insult to injury... only your employer is "in network" and you're forced to use them for healthcare. This means our coworkers have access to our charts when we come in for health

    Nurses Calming the Chaos of Conflict- Part 2

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

    Events of the past two years have led to extremely contentious workplaces and views are expressed within earshot of patients. Very unprofessional. In my opinion, it's up to management to set...

    AIDET: Aiming for Quality Service

    2BS Nurse replied to Judy Campbell's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Using AIDET works with probably 90% of patients, but there are that 10% who will never be happy. Duration is a tricky one. Telling a patient "the doctor will see you in a few minutes", then the Dr....

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    My apologies. I should have only quoted the "It's that they don't know HOW to do the MA job"

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    toomuchbaloney: Unfortunately, this is an organization with 35,000+ employees and bad management is rampant. It's not unusual for them to hire former car dealership managers. One of many reasons I...

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    "Isn't there a clinic manager who is responsible for those duties?" The managers tend to "delegate" everything they can. Klone: It sounds like you work for a great organization. Sadly,...

    Feel like I’m too dumb to be in nursing school and that it was a mistake that I got in

    2BS Nurse replied to FutureMaleNurse9722's topic in General Students

    Once you start your job you'll realize there is a diverse range of intelligence among staff. Most nurses display average intelligence. It's most important that you are a safe nurse, pay attention and...

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Very well written SmilingBluEyes. I forgot to add in lab specimen processing and cleaning/stocking/ordering supplies and medications. And yes, provider preferences. They get annoyed when we get...

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I think our jaws would fall to the floor in amazement if we EVER observed this happening! "The RNs CAN'T do the MA job, legally. It's that they don't know HOW to do the MA job. Because they are...

    Feeling Unvalued

    2BS Nurse replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry that's happening to you! Do you have other employment options in your area? Tell them you're not going to stay if this is the policy! Can you become a travel nurse

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    That was part of the problem. No clarity of roles and responsibilities. MAs in my state have a wide scope of practice (they can pretty much do any skill except IV push meds). They aren't technically...

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

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    @klone: "Our MAs have quite a bit of longevity at our clinic, so no revolving door". Consider your clinic lucky. There are so many MA jobs for the taking in my area. They are very difficult to...

    Switched to LVN from the Business World and am UNDERWHELMED!

    2BS Nurse replied to Guest1188630's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Most employers DO have a microwave and a break room. I choose to bring my own water from home because I don't trust the cleaning of their machines. When it comes to clinicals, you gotta do what you...
