   mismissy69 replied to AudioGirl's topic in General Nursing

   nussing is a team effort there is no way you are gonna know eveything and to sit here and downgrade anyone who in your words is "below" you and you are just a student is very offensive. i have met nurses who have had their bachelors & masters in ...

   mismissy69 replied to AudioGirl's topic in General Nursing

   DON'T EVER SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are integral part of your staff. This is another thing I am sick of, some RN's thinking they are better than LPN's. There are some people who have been LPN's for 20 years and know more than a person who ...

   mismissy69 replied to styRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   why does it seem that healthcare is more concerned with petty issues than the ones that really count? I am so sick of all the petty BS. How about this if I wear some shoes that arent comfortable to me and my feet swell and I can barely stand Im not c...

   mismissy69 replied to AudioGirl's topic in General Nursing

   unfortunately i think the phrase that nurses eat their young is true. in my experience i have seen how other nurses can be. when you're new your an outsider and they have to feel you out first so they treat you like a stepchild, the one's that have b...

    mismissy69 replied to mismissy69's topic in General Nursing

    see if we are caught with anything at the desk it's an automatic write up because the idiots in administration see that there is no reason what so ever that you shouldnt get a lunch break, they wont even pay us if we claim that we didn't have one so ...

    ok so what do you do when you are short staffed and you're not allowed to eat at the nurses station & your nurse is feeling faint or lightheaded? do you let him/her take a moment to eat or take the risk of her going home sick and you being there ...

    mismissy69 replied to mismissy69's topic in General Nursing

    thank you all for your input also what im noticing is the nurses that I work with dont get out on to the floor until like 20-25 min after report because they want to socialize, take 50 million smoke breaks and call their families instead of getting o...

    I just wanted to see if any of you other Nurses look down on those who take lunch breaks. I am working at a new facility and when I go to take my lunch break I notice I get smart little looks and comments. Now I make sure that all my patients are com...
