    Backsliding in new specialty

    I would explore how much you like the new type of nursing. If you like it, and find it interesting then try to work it out. If you really don't like it, it will be harder to learn the job and more...

    What??

    He needs a bette medication, T3 is too light there are much better options out there. Perhaps he needs palliative care team to manage his symptoms. This is poor pain management and the nurses and...
  3. Your experience on the neuro unit sounds horrible. Luckily the unit I mentioned was really the only time it was a hostile environment with bullies. And earlier in my career when I worked in the OR I...
  4. I've experienced this bullying behavior, it's not a few one offs where someone is frustrated and having a bad day. It's an ongoing problem that slowly degrades a department. I remember working in a...
  5. I would ask them to participate, take turns doing the study guide or divide up the portions and each contribute, otherwise, forget sharing with them. It sounds like they are taking you for granted and...

    12-Hour Shifts Led to Fatal Crash

    I've had to work long hours on call in the operating room and later years in PACU, sometimes it can't be avoided, never fell asleep at the wheel, but I don't think it's right to charge this person...
  9. I think continue working in the OR, become proficient at both scrubbing and circulating, get your RNFA, and then after your wedding and settled think about NP school if you want. Then, as an NP you...
  10. I really think if your heart is into NP you should go for it. Mine was for a long time before I did and I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to
  11. If you like psychiatric nursing, I'm sure you will like being a psychiatric NP, and you may be able to find a telehealth NP role in the future. I agree that it's important to find a reputable school...

    Manager is colluding

    Are they accusing her of doing something wrong, and have they given her counseling to help improvement? Why would her manager just want to get rid of
  13. It seems taking the cut in pay to go days is very much worth it. I'm not sure why you're having to use FMLA, but I thought that if you have a family issue or health problem that causes you to have to...
  14. Look for another job. I work in palliative care and notice LVN's in hospice and they love it and are very good at
  15. That's what I do too. I'm wondering if the scanning process dummy's down thew process. I'm not sure but I have sensed it when giving meds, but know that I can't deviate from the correct way of...
  16. Was Julie doing speaking engagements, asking for
  17. Good to know, definitely don't bother someone when getting meds
  18. We should stay humble and be available to support people along the way. Not all learners will be able to immediately recognize a life or death situation and need to the freedom to be able to ask more...
  19. I was just trying to imagine was it a high level of stress, which is very hard to even
  20. That's what I'm guessing too, because like I was saying before I just can't imagine an error like this happening, Beyond careless, Even a super high level of stress, I would think would not be the...

    Older Nurse no BSN needs advice

    In California, some of the surgery centers hire ADN and how about hospice or home health. I have sensed age discrimination in looking for jobs, but when I mentioned it on the allnurses blog, I really...
  23. I just can't understand how a nurse could make that many serious errors at one time. I wonder what kind of stress she was under, or what was really going on in her head. It's scary and makes me think...

    Thoughts on nurses who became physicians

    It may be jealousy, As an NP, on rare occasions I run across weird situations where the nurse treats me kind of poorly but most nurses are super nice to work with. I'm glad you're in Medical School....
  25. I live in South Orange County California, and noticed that my classmates who lived in the LA area seemed to have an easier time finding preceptors and then jobs, and I noticed age has something to do...
