  4. Being called a baby nurse

    Insperation replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like it's offensive because yah, you got offended. You need thicker skin. I'm working on thickening my own skin so I feel

    Insperation replied to AnnaBanana60137's topic in General Nursing

    I work on the same type of unit. I often feel the same way. Then I press on and do my job and I get my confidence back. Then I do something stupid and I feel the same way all over again, then I press...

  6. I can't take one more day of psych!!!!

    Insperation replied to edisonnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    I know a lot of good people who have used narcotics yet they don't get addicted. Again, it's not a choice to become addicted to something. Do you have respect for someone with a personality disorder...

  7. I can't take one more day of psych!!!!

    Insperation replied to edisonnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    Addiction is a disease in itself where the "symptoms" are often masked as behavioral defects..things that you might call laziness or manipulative. Working with these people all day would cause anyone...

  8. New Nurse Blues

    Insperation replied to susie1969's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The ER must be really tough for a new grad. I'm in my first year in med-surg and I often go home and second guess a lot of things that I do. I know it's no good to take work home but I actually learn...

  9. Would you be content if you worked your current job/specialty for the rest of your career?

    Insperation replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    In my current job I walk like 5-7 miles a shift so maybe after I lose enough LBs I will go somewhere

  10. SO BAD at drawing blood, starting IV's??

    Insperation replied to Chimio's topic in General Nursing

    I almost feel mean saying this but this makes me feel SO much better. At this juncture, it's not the actual IV skill that I'm worried about. Yah, there's always someone who can get a IV in. For me,...

  11. Inappropriate nurses?

    Insperation replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. New grad as a unit manager

    Insperation replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have literally been in the ER as a resident physician came down and gave orders to the nurse for a patient who was DKA. That wasn't even night shift. It happens and we trust them because they have...

  13. New grad as a unit manager

    Insperation replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Personally, I don't always believe that you need to master one job to be competent at another. You always hear this..."You dont know what you don't know" Yah no ****. But you might know, what you do...

  14. Accepted to 2 Nursing Programs: Help me decide which is the best option

    Insperation replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I think you made the right decision. CSUSM is highly respected and a great school(from what I hear). Now you will graduate with your BSN and be competitive in the job market. 55k is not THAT much,...

  17. DNP vs MSN

    Insperation replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Gawd I hate APA too. I think OP needs to ask...what degree would yield the most amount of income, at the cheapest rate, in the least amount of time, from the most respectable university? The balance...

    Insperation posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am a BSN new grad nurse. I was asked to sign an agreement with stipulations from the BON before I could get my approval to take the NCLEX. I have a criminal history and also am a recovered addict. I...

  19. Placed on Monitoring as New Grad

    Insperation replied to Insperation's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You didn't read my last post..no worries. I appealed and got the narc restriction lifted. I think my entire monitoring will last for 3 years. Looks like you got fortunate with having 6 months. Maybe...

  20. DNP vs MSN

    Insperation replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Aye Lands and titles...what about honor? Personally I would be torn between wanting people to call me "Doctor" and not wanting people to call me "Doctor". I'm not going back to school until I find a...

  21. Placed on Monitoring as New Grad

    Insperation replied to Insperation's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I appealed my narc restriction to a separate professional committee and I won :) I think it helped that I had an interview that week and I was accepted for the job, pending I get the restriction...

  22. Criminal Background and Becoming a Nurse

    Insperation replied to dnielson3852's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Because you've already been accepted to the nursing program, I wouldn't worry too much about your school. You need to worry about the board. Just be completely upfront when applying for your license....

  23. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    Insperation replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am a male and my OB rotation was quick, easy and drama free. I got to see one vag birth and one c-section. Each time the nurse had to ask the mother for permission though. I actually left early for...

  25. Panic attacks following never event.

    Insperation replied to Iamgroot29's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say don't forget to ask for help if you think you need it. Sometimes it's hard just to ask. Everyone makes mistakes. Keep on keepin on. Good
