  1. Becoming a CEU provider?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Do any of you movers and shakers out there have any experience becoming a continuing ed credit provider? I did some preliminary searching and found what is required for my state and I know I need to...

  2. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. Sometimes asking the question that your mind is processing can be received poorly. We weren't there so we can't say but perhaps you don't exude confidence with your questions? For example,...

  3. How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with comparing what we do to celebs and athletes or even high earning business people is we don't really make the hospital money, per se. Pwople will pay 150 dollars a ticket or more to...

  4. Becoming a CEU provider?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to AtLeastMyDogLovesMe's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thanks!

  5. Will my EMT experience help get a job as an ER-Nurse?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Emergency

    Hmm...There mere fact that you are asking this question tells me that you don't have an experience problem. You have a self marketing problem. When the time comes to shine up your resume and get ready...

  6. How to decrease new grad anxiety

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to cafegoer's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You won't get over the nerves until you get the experience. Don't do any intervention unsupervised that you've never done before. Bring an experienced nurse you trust with you to walk you through....

  7. Why the double standard.

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to RN2364's topic in Men in Nursing

    I certainly "get it." I would never want to be accused of rape/battery for simply doing my job. I will stop what I am doing in a heartbeat to help a male colleague get a task done and would fight...

  8. Nursing is Just a Job - Common Myths in Nursing

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno...I think having that attitude is exactly what makes many nurses miserable. "Its just a job." "I'm just a robot following the doctor's orders." I know for me having those thoughts made it very...

  9. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Love this. I was an advocate of the ACA for that exact reason...it SEEMED that it was going to FORCE competition. Business people and advocates of free market are always screaming to let the markets...

  10. Clinical Judgement Call...Not sure if I did the right thing

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to AvaRose's topic in General Nursing

    As an ER nurse I can say you definitely did the right thing. We get patients from LTC that are sent for normal chronic complaints without ANY intervention prior to calling EMS...you saw a change, you...

  11. Regret becoming a nurse....

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    Cocoa, There are MANY comments and so far the ones I have read contained some solid advice. I too would like to echo the sentiment that what you are feeling is NORMAL. I can't think of the theorist...

  12. When to apply for jobs NYC new grad

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to NPVS92's topic in General Nursing

    There's typically a new grad "hiring season" at the start of the new year. Don't waste time applying for non-new grad positions. Find out when the hospitals you are interested in accept new

  13. Having doubts about nursing school. I'm desperate, any advice appreciated.

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to College_girl's topic in General Nursing

    She didn't say she had a nurse position. She just said she had a

  14. Having doubts about nursing school. I'm desperate, any advice appreciated.

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to College_girl's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...I hate to generalize, but there is definitely one thing to keep in mind with what we do - it is female dominated. So with that being said there are definitely situations where there's "too many...

  15. New nurse feeling inadequate

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to NewbieNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    Completely agree. Being a new nurse is already hard enough much less being on an high acuity, advanced level unit. What you are feeling is normal and it probably takes about a year to completely get...

  16. showering: before or after work

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I am with you. I shower after work unless I work out the morning before. Then I'll shower again after work. Unless I had a spectacularly low body fluid day AND showered before shift, I always...

  17. racist patients

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Rn 1979's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't find that particularly fair to the OP. I get that you don't want to cater to someone and reinforce bad behavior but why risk getting one of your own insulted, humiliated, or worse. All to make...

  18. racist patients

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Rn 1979's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, I am sorry you were treated poorly based on your appearance. Ignorance and just plain meanness is something that all of us will deal with regardless of our own race/religion/ethnicity. I can't...

  19. How did first job/orientation work for you?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Summers3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You should definitely feel that way. Everyone does. And at the end of your new grad orientation you will STILL feel like you don't know anything....and you will make mistakes. All that is okay. The...

  20. What should I do Rn or LPN?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to dewers90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure why anyone would go LPN unless for some other reason they had no choice. That is absolutely no disrespect to LPNs - as someone already stated there are way more opportunities with your...

  21. Am I Just Not Smart Enough?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Zenndaya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second this. I will also like to add one key thing. As someone who feels like a career student (all while HATING school) I can tell you there is one very big thing when it comes to passing that has...

  22. Narcotic Administration in ER

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to silver2009's topic in Emergency

    Forum comments like this always make me laugh and they are part of EVERY kind of forum...if someone finds and old thread and responds for future people or have a question, they get harassed for...

  23. Never a dull moment

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Hmm..was she not tachy there? Typically everyone that age with those complaints and that history gets at least an EKG, if not the full workup. Then again even if she wasn't tachy then you still follow...

  24. RN Graduate Establishes Dominance

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to nicmdavi's topic in General Nursing

    She's overcompensating because she feels

  25. A year since graduation & not working

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say I know much about Cali other that I've heard they won't even consider you without a BSN at least. Are you getting interviews or are they not even calling you in? Are you applying for new...
