  1. What do you call the tracking device nurses sometimes wear?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    If you're required to carry a phone then you already do. If you're like me however, you ignore it.

  2. Yes, I'm a Nurse Consultant.

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

    So...how does something like that work exactly? You travel to patients homes and teach the families how to manage their kids illnesses? How does that work as far as staying in your scope, malpractice...

  3. Am I too old to change career?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to mmaku2020's topic in General Nursing

    The REAL question, OP, is WHY do you want to be a nurse? If it is just because of money you might get your feelings hurt really quickly. It isn't about age as much as desire, willingness to work, and...

  4. Calling report to the floor.

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I think it is unfortunately the nature of the gig. Hospitalists and ER docs biting each others' heads off - floor nurses and ER nurses biting each others' heads off...its silly really because...

  5. Educating patients on ER use

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I know this is an old post but your point is something I bang my head about at work every day. People think "emergency" is subjective to their situation and don't understand that its our job to...

  6. You know the shift is gonna be a hot mess when ...

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    You know your shift will be a hot mess when... -Before you even woke up there was a text message sent by management begging for extra help because we're holding admissions in the ED -You are down the...

  7. Nursing Anxiety

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Seve's topic in General Nursing

    I mean what do you have to lose? The grass probably isn't greener but you'd at least get a few months respite and you'd be too busy learning your new job to realize the problems. Then after a year...

  8. Hard Truth of Nursing

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Not according to my magnet hospital. It is the ONLY reason I am up right now on this forum ducking my paper for my RN to BSN program. I have a bachelor's in biology and have ZERO desire for one in...

  9. Hard Truth of Nursing

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I aint gonna lie though...I am all about getting that ice cream!! Then I slip out the back door so I can avoid the "social"

  10. Hard Truth of Nursing

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a girl that does similar but she didn't give me the impression she was making quite that much. As I just posted in another forum I'm considering case management or telephone triage in the...

  11. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    You sir/ma'am, are a glutton for

  12. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    Not a bad idea! I mean it works for Susie Orman and Dave Ramsey. "Stop giving your money to other people, stay out of debt, save money." Now that'll be

  13. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I left to become a nurse! Not gonna lie though... I have some regrets! I joke with my coworkers that if I could do it all over I would just be a night shift grocery stocker talking to my...

  14. Husband became a RN

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh!! Now this makes more sense for the resentment! I would be as well. When I read the initial post I was ready to point out that we women can be guilty of calling men that stay home deadbeats but...

  15. What is your work routine?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to Tomrn2128's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You'll get your routine down. When I was a new grad I would pay close attention to how the nurses that I admired went about their day and I would try to mimic what they did. Sometimes it worked for...

  16. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    AtLeastMyDogLovesMe replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    As others have said, cooking in bulk is the way to go. Especially if you are fitness/weight/health minded and don't want to rely on fast food. I finally broke down and bought a rice cooker with...
