Yes, I can see where the wearing of sashes would work best in a LTC setting where the nurse has to travel with the med cart and med times are standardized, but in an acute care hospital situation most nurses have med rooms where only nurses are allow...

As a former oncology nurse who went to cardiac step down then ICU and now finding myself back in oncology in a different hospital--friendships happen and grow outside of the hospital. I--along with several of my old oncology coworkers--are Facebook ...
Management at my current hospital has reinstated having nurses wear yellow safety sashes†during med administration. It's being done to create a bubble of silence while we pass meds. I was all for it the first go around. However, it's one of tho...

I'm a second career nurse. Have a prior business degree and worked for years for a major manufacturer. I did not believe in Unions--was anti union actually and could give you an earful of my reasons why; some of those issues are still valid today. ...

Sutter continues to be a corporate machine with total disregard for it's workforce. I love the people I work with and my shift times fit my family life, so will hang in there as the job market is tight for nurses in the Bay Area. Even with our new...
I wear Black Patent Leather Danskos--but only when working in the hospital as the minute I try walking with them on sidewalks I'm prone to tripping sideways if I hit a crack just right. They are stiff clogs and clumsy to break into at at first but o...
