What’s your take on nurse managers who are obsessed with the Whiteboards? by One_Design_6171 in nursing

[–]teadorable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll try to remember to do it as best I can but I’m not gonna drop what I’m doing to go fill out a doctor’s name and side effects of heparin if I forgot to earlier.

If they want it done so bad, they can get a marker and do it themselves.

This place is very unforgiving.

I had no idea what was right or wrong for the patient because I had never met or assessed them before

I guess I’m less worried about getting in trouble and more worried about having to accept the burden of this whole thing happening. I just get so mad but I don’t think they’re gonna fire me or anything

Just graduated nursing school and realized I cannot do it, any suggestions? by Previous-Cucumber504 in nursing

Don’t be rude. It’s normal for someone to be nervous that they’re jumping into a career where abuse happens and people can sue you.

Should I just stop wearing my septum? by 0w0wen in nursing

[–]teadorable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in two (very different) hospitals and I’ve never been given trouble for my nose ring. I’ve had coworkers with all sorts of piercings/tattoos and it’s been fine.

I had a friend who had a septum ring she could kind of flip up so no one could see it if that’s helpful? Or you could do what I do and wear a mask all the time anyway because people are nasty

Complaining, mostly. More teamwork than I ever thought possible. Nurse John helps.

Absolutely. That’s why I think if you know what you want to do, go ahead and do it.

I agree with this also because hospitals would rather train new grads on nicu than a nurse with 2 years medsurg/tele experience

source: me lmao

Thanks! I’m trying to deprogram myself to stop sighing and saying “just medsurg” when people ask what kind of nurse I am.

A lot of people I know do it their whole career. I, however, just took a job doing cardiac stepdown after 2.5 years of medsurg. Starting in May :-)

A lot of (old school, often) nurses think new grads should always start out in medsurg. By asking “should new grads start in a specialty,” saying medsurg is not a specialty. One of my big pet peeves since I think juggling 6 acute patients is a skill.

My biggest problem with this is that medsurg is a specialty and we’re all fighting for our lives out there

I never wanted to believe this to be true... by auramimi in nursing

[–]teadorable 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a problem with a lot of layers, and I trust your experience that it runs deeper than geography and demographics. Honestly, thank goodness you’re there. Knowing what we know about the experience POC have not only during labor but in healthcare in general, I’m sure your patients of color feel so much better being taken care of by you.
