1. A manager's perspective "I talked to my mgr about XYZ and nothing was done!"

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   I think at the heart of this issue is that employees that tend to say such things feel like in some way they were ignored. "Doing something" does not necessarily mean getting rid of the employee that made the mistake or caused the problem. You don't ...

2. Do i really have to tell new employer about a BON intervention?

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to Nursedina2011's topic in Recovery

   I do not think that that's true about the OP.. I don't know why she'd lie to us when this is completely anonymous. I would tell your current employer, whoever you can trust, and I would do this in writing. If you give enough details and don't contrad...

3. Told to fake vital signs

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to gypsierose's topic in Geriatric

   That is absolutely ridiculous. I would first try to confront the issue head-on. Ensure that the nurse absolutely 100% knows that there is no equipment and that it sounds like the other aides are making up numbers. I would communicate solely by leavin...

4. Mnemonic for Assessing DEMENTIA

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in General Nursing

   This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Dementia & delirium are fascinating topics.

5. Nursing 20 years/MED ERROR

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to marace's topic in General Nursing

   "The process is to be examined, not to punish anyone but to see where the errors were made and enforce how to prevent. People make mistakes" This is true. You were not treated well at all, and for that I am sorry. It sounds like you've definitely le...

6. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. I could see if it was some issue where you divulged information about the other patient. But the fact of the matter is nurses are responsible for a set number of patients and certain treatments and procedures need to take priority. Some pati...

7. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the examples you give to both cases of bullying and non-bullying. And I agree - sometimes it can be abused. I certainly want the concern brought forward (hopefully to the 'alleged' bully first) regardless if it was bullying or not. Space...

8. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

   You are in denial. Bullying in nursing is so pervasive it was part of my nursing education. That is a fact. Just because you haven't experienced it does not mean it does not exist.

9. Workplace Harassment forced me to resign

   LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to Drgnfy13's topic in General Nursing

   This is very true. I also like TriciaJ's advice. Ask for specifics about the complaints (from the person alleging that there has been some complaints brought forth). If there is any validity, they should be able to provide you with something specific...

10. Workplace Harassment forced me to resign

    LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to Drgnfy13's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you went through this experience OP. You had to do what was right for your mental health and get out of there. I definitely see what you were getting at by referencing the Holocaust poem. You have a desire to stand up for your friends ...

11. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you have had such an awful experience as a nurse. I have seen both the extremely negative and extremely positive sides of nursing. I'd have to say that the environments which foster the negative side of nursing (featuring degradation and p...

12. Should I start out on night shift?

    LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to heather.verbs's topic in General Nursing

    Apply as many places as you can, to keep your options open. Night shifts would not be bad to work and you would probably have a better time gaining seniority as there would be less competition for shifts. Also be mindful of the fact that you should n...

13. My inner snowflake

    LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I really feel like nursing should have some sort of aptitude test to gain entry into nursing programs - college and university programs. Great grades don't necessarily mean you'll be a great nurse, so I don't think more baccalaureate nurses would equ...

14. My Mom passed away. Did I do the right thing?

    LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to LovingMom1's topic in General Nursing

    I am so, so sorry for the loss of your mother. You provided her with exceptional care and it sounds like you were very diligent during her final hours. It sounds like it was her time to go, unfortunately. There was nothing else you could have done, o...

15. Eating Their Young

    LetLoveNReasonUnite replied to futurelnd's topic in Relations

    I did not accuse anyone on here of being a bully.. nor do I expect people to be perfect. I think we should be decent human beings to each other. Remember at any point a coworker can become a patient. At what point does the bully see them as worthy of...
