  1. Do nurses only "eat their young" in certain departments?

    It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that most M/S depts are dreadfully understaffed, with high pt acuities, and then asking the nurses to be responsible for students to just overloads them beyond what they can handle, could it? No,...
  2. Had my first doctor scream at me today

    I did recently write an abuser up. I can overlook a good deal, but that particular episode was more than I could overlook. I meant to add that another one of my tricks when dealing with "Old Yeller" is to speak with a softer and softer tone, until th...
  3. Had my first doctor scream at me today

    Oh, I hope to God you said this with a really syrupy Southern accent to boot. That was priceless!
  4. Dating Your Doctor

    Huh? That's not the impression many of us got from your OP.
  5. Dating Your Doctor

    He's behaving as if he has and interest in you? And he's your doctor? Uhm...red flags, red flags, red flags!
  6. religion in the workplace

    Absolutely. I saw this in hospice as well.
  7. Had my first doctor scream at me today

    Stories like this just warm my heart! I'm sorry the doctor was a creep, and that neither his peers nor your co-workers saw fit to stop his hissy fit. Good for you for keeping your composure. I'm assuming the doc was ambulatory, so there was no reason...
  8. nursing student traumatized by the PACU

    One thing's for sure...if they're screaming, they're ventilating.
  9. nursing student traumatized by the PACU

    I see this a lot with ketamine. Man, do I hate that stuff! Pts. wake up screaming and thrashing...it's a horror.
  10. all righty then!
  11. Why do nurses eat their young?

    Indeed. Tell you what cinthern, why don't you "go with" every hurtful cliche applied to new nurses. See how that works for you. Now, let's just do away with these nonsense cliches once and for all. If your job isn't to your satisfaction, if everyone ...
  12. Incometent Doctor

    You bet your bippy I would document that the pt was in pain and that the doctor did not order pain medication. Which, BTW, could be construed as pt abuse. Makes me glad we don't have any docs that are that unreasonable.
  13. Why do nurses eat their young?

    Caroladybelle and rnin02 both made excellent points. If you must blame someone, blame the right person/people. This thread is yet another tirade against experienced/older nurses. When will it end?
  14. I had to laugh at your post because it made me imagine how she'd fare where I work; both depts. are full of headstrong, direct communicators. Not that we're mean, but turning on the tears just wouldn't do.
  15. It's just as shocking to me and many others when there are numerous threads and posts lambasting older nurses. It's unusual to see posts go in the opposite direction. That doesn't make it right, but perhaps it will make some of the younger members se...
