1. Nurses Eating Their Young

   KelRN24 replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Relations

   I totally agree with Ruby Vee....it also has been my experience that there has been a shift in nursing - to some extent gone are the days where people chose to be a nurse becasue they had a desire to care for patients and were truly there at the beds...

   Nurse Smiley and others, my CNO is in the midst of getting that book out to the clinical leadership for us to read. I have read experts and it sounds great!

3. Nurses Eating Their Young

   KelRN24 replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Relations

   Great points and it is bas as it sounds...in fact the profession has often joked that nurses eat their young, as if it is a positive thing, a badge of strength and power. I agree that there is a fear component to this behavior and often the nurses th...

4. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

   KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

   apparently, tweety men may not have dress codes in all places. and after reviewing the dress code policy in my own facility it is more geared to women than men without stating genders. they only reason i brought up the past was regarding the post tha...

5. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

   KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

   i never said that wearing undergarments such as red underwear or no underwear at all was appropriate. i was being realistic; any person, male or female that does not follow the established dress code should be made aware per the occurrence. i think ...

6. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

   KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

   now that is mature. my point is that dress-codes must not have gender biases like they have in the past. men do not take kindly to the mandates that women have had to conform to. ~kelrn24

8. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

   KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

   it seems the men balk at being 'made' to wear an undershirt or mandated regarding their uniforms, but they forget that women have been mandated for years to wear certain things or more correctly not wear certain items with uniforms. how about nursing...

9. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

   KelRN24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

   i too have learned to stay out of the way - when i was newer to ed nursing i was in the middle of the scuffle but now after being kicked in the head, grabbed by a drunk guy who would not let go and others, i have learned that it is not worth it. i re...

10. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    KelRN24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    meeshellrn, it is unfortunate that your employer did not provide the support that you needed. in a time where staffing is critical one would think that supporting staff would be a priority; certainly ensuring they are safe. verbal and physical abuse/...

11. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    KelRN24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    good point avalonlake. i think it is all a matter of context. certainly a medical issue is quite different than that of a beligerent drunk or mean-spirited person that refuses to be cooperative and abuses the very people that are taking are of them. ...

13. Indiscrete CNAs

    KelRN24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    chadash makes a good point....and that is why communication is so important. if any staff of any level do not know what the expectation is, then how can they be expected what and what not to say? [color=#483d8b]education and communiation....they go h...

14. Indiscrete CNAs

    KelRN24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with the posts on this thread. not only are patients' right to privacy with their health information being compromised, but can put patients in a position to be harmed or make poor medical decisions. i too have worked with cnas and techs in t...
