   I don’t see anywhere in these articles that he divulged any protected information...what am I missing?

2. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

   fakebee replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

   What I find interesting is the concept that completing the RN to BSN transition has to be enormously expensive. Several schools offer online programs for less than $10,000. An enormous amount of debt you say- well consider that the average new car co...

3. Mandatory overtime in Texas

   fakebee replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

   Unless management just sprung this on you they are not forcing you to work overtime they are making you meet the work hours you agreed to in your employment contract when you were hired. Surely you reviewed your work schedule prior to signing your co...

4. Rules for Per Diems

   fakebee replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   If you're not meeting your minimum requirements to remain per diem at that facility I don't understand why you are upset about the manager calling you on it. She has a limited number of per diem slots available and she might have people willing to ...

5. Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

   fakebee replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   Most employers aren't interested in your motivation for working, just that you do a good job and meet their job standards. Nursing should be no different. The problem in nursing is the Martyr Mary types who want you to believe as they do that caring ...

6. Nurses don't know the lab

   fakebee replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

   "I should have known better than to come here and think any thick skulls could be cracked"-you certainly have a way with words. I predict you will be on the management fast track based on your inability to listen and consider input from seasoned prof...

   fakebee replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   I learned I am no longer emotionally invested in my workplace. At. All. Good for me.

8. This week, I have learned... (8/8)

   fakebee replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   That my ICU does not have a good skills mix. Of the 12 nurses working my last shift, nine had less than one years experience. Flu season will be an absolute nightmare.

9. Public Comment on ANA Draft Position Statement: Workplace Violence and Incivility Issues

   fakebee replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

   Have to agree with Rose Queen that the ANA is completely out of touch with the bedside nurse. Not saying that bullying doesn't occur buT I feel nurse/patient ratios are 10,000 times more important to the success of nursing.

    Phoenoryker are you sure your name isn't really Mindlor?

11. Why would a patients respiratory rate be set at 28 on a mechanical ventilator?

    fakebee replied to Regina518's topic in Student Assist

    I can promise you that if your patient's bicarbonate is 7, there's a 99 percent chance he's not in respiratory acidosis. Please provide the rest of the ABG values.

12. Nurses being forced to go back to school

    fakebee replied to hrtnsoul's topic in ADN/BSN

    It's not about making anyone a better nurse, it's about the fact that it's an employers market. With job seekers outstripping jobs available employers can ask whatever qualifications they wish. As a BSN prepared nurse with almost 20 years experience ...

13. I cringe at the thought of work

    fakebee replied to ALHRN11's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not suggest teaching to someone with the smallest sliver of experience and who wants to leave bedside nursing at the earliest opportunity- students deserve to have someone who enjoys the bedside role and who can help them navigate the many ...

14. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    fakebee replied to RNdynamic's topic in Relations

    RN Dynamic, The new graduate nurses role is exactly the same as every other nurse working that floor, no more no less. I do find it interesting that so many recent grads feel they are the only ones fully versed on current evidence based practice. In ...

15. Should I make the move? Am I ready?

    fakebee replied to ataymil8's topic in Critical

    If you have been working full time hours for 10 months on your floor and the full time jobs are going to new grads and the only fault in your practice is you take too long in report per your managers feedback, that should tell you all you need to kno...
