Hey guys im in college for nursing (just graduated from high school last year so im just doing my prerequisites right now) and while i know that being a nurse you will still be dealing with stressful situations, I also want to know certain jobs that may be less stressful. Im really interested in working in a hospital's neonatal care unit or a clinic when im finally done but i know that theres a chance that there may not be any openings in my area when i graduate so i want to have other options (and also know the areas to avoid lol). So can you guys list the most and least stressful jobs you guys had as a nurse?? Also post why it was?
[Hoping this is acceptable to post here; if it's not OK, just let me know. I don't want to cause any problems for anyone. Thank you.]
Hello,
I am an academic researcher and author who is currently working on a project
about the effects of LEAN and Six Sigma in various types of workplaces, but
with special focus on the health care industry, including hospitals,
inpatient and outpatient clinics, etc.
If you are:
-Currently employed in this industry, preferably as an M.D. or nurse (but
other positions/titles also OK)
-Have direct experience (as an employee, *NOT* an administrator) "adhering"
to LEAN and/or Six Sigma
and
-Would be willing to participate in a brief interview regarding your
experiences, thoughts, and opinions on LEAN and/or Six Sigma, please contact
me at packedby776 at gmail dot com.
If desired your identity will be protected and confidentiality maintained.
Thank you.
Hi everyone. I'm a senior nursing student currently taking a class in community health. My assignment is to interview a nurse who works (or has worked within the last 10 years) within the community, either in public health, home care, hospice, or parish nursing. So far I haven't been able to find anybody, but now that the project is due by this Friday, I thought I'd try LJ. If you are a community nurse and you could help me out by answering some questions, I'd appreciate it so much!
Thanks!
Hey Guys! I need some help :)
On my floor, we wanna expedite our handoff report time....Sooooo I was wondering how you guys do handoff? What's the average time? Do you do bedside report? Do you only give report to one nurse? How many patients do you guys have?
Do you use kardexs?
Thanks!
It seems that I am turning into a hospice nurse. It's not by choice though. On the 2 40-bed units that I float between (total 80 res/pts) we've had at least 10 go to the Eternal Care Unit in the past 2 weeks or so. It's starting to look suspicious!
One took a dive out of her chair the other day and faceplanted, BADLY, into the deck. The on duty nurse (who relieved be 90 minutes earlier thank god), got in there a started controlling the hellacious bleeding. Told it looked like a GSW to the head, thats how bad it looked. 2 minutes later she was gone. My poor replacement wound up getting her feet sticky and was a bit put off.
-------------------------------------------
They were short the other night and floated me to cover -TWO- units. I had to cover Unit 2 (46 beds) AND Unit 1 (26 beds). I carried 72 res for my shift!!! MED PASS SHOULD NOT INVOLVE STAIRS OR AN ELEVATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like since we changed pharmacys our mortality rate seems to have gone up. The new pharmacy has made some great screw ups. Mainly with mislabelling meds; cards come in labelled Lasix/Furosemide and then when when you turn the card over aqnd check the tiny printing it turns out the card is really famatodine. Stuff like that. They have had some really great screw ups and those are just the ones we've caught.
We can't switch pharmacys though because the guy that owns his one is kin to the folks who own the facility.
Memo from my supervisor. In the future when writing reports I must not refer to a fall as "Adverse Gravity Reaction".
I've been accepted to 2 programs. One is a one year accelerated BSN at a school that is probably not well known outside of Missouri. The other is a traditional BSN (I'd only need to do the 2 upper level years) at a well known school, with all the bonuses of attending a state university...summer break, study abroad, and an opportunity to get a certificate in global health.
I made my decision to attend the one year program because I think getting done quicker is better for me. There is little to no difference in the cost of either program and the cost of living in St. Louis appears to be less than in Madison. I decided to attend the school in St. Louis about a month ago and my acceptance from the school in Madison arrived today, which got me thinking for a minute.
I'm content to live in either place and a change of scenery might be nice because I did my first undergrad degree here in Madison at University of Wisconsin. I eventually want to get a NP, probably women's health, but who knows. My question is this: have you ever found yourself having a hard time getting a job/getting into graduate programs because you attended a lesser known and/or lower/unranked school? I know in some fields it seems to matter, but I don't know if nursing is one of them.
Thank You
