1. Ouch, I'm tired!!!!!!!

   victoreia replied to micro's topic in General Nursing

   AMEN. And I would like to add... the grass is not always greener on the other side and one should not talk about a surgeon complaining about working hard and not getting recognition when that's all that seems to be going on here... Maybe the surgeon ...

2. Ouch, I'm tired!!!!!!!

   victoreia replied to micro's topic in General Nursing

   Letting my stressors get me down makes me tired. Some people spend so much time whining and complaining about their jobs, kids, husbands,that makes me tired. Walking through the door after a 12 hour shift and instantly becoming a mother and cooking a...

3. Nice nurses don't........

   victoreia replied to WhiteStockings's topic in General Nursing

   Good nurses kill them selves for their job Nice nurses should be politicians

4. Smokers

   victoreia replied to momrn50's topic in General Nursing

   Me again, Vicki RN. Not to be annoying , but if I am don't read this then. My hubby works on chimmneys and towers and things. Any way my point is a kodak camera company spews out more air pollution then if every person in that city smoked. I live nea...

5. Smokers

   victoreia replied to momrn50's topic in General Nursing

   Hmmmm I smoke. I take two breaks each day and sometimes three and I make up for it. I work long hard hours, I skip lunch sometimes or eat in what seems like seconds, I do not preach to smokers or non smokers about what wierd, bad, or what ever habits...

6. Nurse Impersonators

   victoreia replied to NancyRN's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with everyone.... Uniforms and identification badges are notenforced. Hopitals and other medical facilities allow aides and MA to do things only nurses should be doing to save a buck or two. I have a friend in Maryland, an MA who helps change...

7. So FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!

   victoreia replied to Andy S.'s topic in General Nursing

   I think a lot of hospitals under staff the night shift. But until nurses stop working over time and continue to over come and adapt it will always be that way. Even day nurses are short handed these dyas it seems, not as bad as night shift though. Vi...

8. for experienced nurses. Would you go into nursing today knowing what you know now?

   victoreia replied to wildtime88's topic in General Nursing

   I love being a nurse, have always wanted to be a nurse and would not give it up for almost anything!! Vicki RN

9. gender as a qualification

   victoreia replied to mark_LD_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I think male nurses should be able to work in any nursing area they want just as female nurses should be able to. Um a few of these replies were somewhat... different.. Like what do toilets have to do with L&D? If men have their places and female...

10. Unions

    victoreia replied to Whisper's topic in Union

    this is not directed right at you. I just chose this spot to reply to the bashing I see going on. How can nurses stand united as one when they can not even get along on here? Every one is entitled to their own opinion and each of us should respect th...

11. Unions

    victoreia replied to Whisper's topic in Union

    Sounds so easy. How do you get millions of nurses together to unionize when they are all working long hard rediculous hours? And how do you find your way through all the red tape and different laws? And how do you even go about getting union represen...

12. Unions

    victoreia replied to Whisper's topic in Union

    I totally agree with the last part of your statement. If nurses want better treatment and wages... they need One Union and One voice. United we stand divided we fall.... we have no union in my town in Pa. They tried to get in but other people at the...

13. lack of support among nurses?!

    victoreia posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am relatively new here but from what I have read so far I like this site. However, I see a lack of support from one nurse to another. In the hospital the doctors are bad enough to work with but when you have no support from other nurses it can make...

14. For experienced nurses, can you honestly encourage anyone to enter nursing?

    victoreia replied to wildtime88's topic in General Nursing

    I would recommend nursing to anyone expressing an interest, if I felt they really wanted to go in that direction. I do not like to hear " I became a nurse to make money..." A good nurse is someone who wants to be a nurse, who cares for and respects c...

15. PERSONALITY DISORDER/SELF ABUSE

    victoreia replied to BarbRPN's topic in Psychiatric

    I totally agree. Borderlines will suck you dry and reek havic if they are inpatient too long. I worked in a MICA unit and many of our clients were borderline. I learned to spot them the minute they came through the door. Unfotunately the MICA unit is...
