    compassionresearcher posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this has been discussed before, but recent activity on a different thread has made me wonder. Do you tell doctors/nurses etc what you do for a living when you're on the other side of the bed? I...

  8. Low census--what do you do?

    compassionresearcher posted a topic in General Nursing

    My current job involves limited direct patient care, so census does not affect me. But I have friends that tell me the unfortunate effects of getting called off and having no money as a result of low...

  9. new grad RN with 2 job offers, what would you do??

    compassionresearcher replied to zumbaRN4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the others. Take job number 2 and if/when job number 1 opens up, you can always move over to that one. Is there a way to stay per diem at your current facility? This way you still have a...

  14. Off orientation, feeling lost

    compassionresearcher replied to tired_panda's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm curious, did the MD ever get back to you and confirm your suspicions that something was amiss? And was this on days or nights? If you are on days ask your manager for help and if you are nights as...

    compassionresearcher replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    Learning one's patient is a nurse or physician or other health worker does not mean all discernment goes out the window. You would, like any other patient encounter, meet them where they're at from an...

  16. Over 30 Years Later, We're Still Talking About Workplace Mistreatment

    compassionresearcher replied to tippeny's topic in School

    You have to weigh the pros and cons. Cost is so much more than $$$$. Your mental and physical health can't be bought. The better you feel at work the more quality the time is when you're with loved...

  20. Clinical Nurse Educator Presentation

    compassionresearcher replied to Marie32's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I did mine on how to start an IV and I got the job. IMO The topic isn't as important as your delivery. They want to see that you are engaging and creative, not just a talking
