  1. If you had to make a choice, which one and why? Pros and Cons. Have you worked at both, and which one did you like better as far as how they treated staff, supplies available, atmosphere, nurse to patient ratios, benefits? Thanks for your time in ...
  2. Electronic Stethescope. Yay? or Nay?

    I love mine. I have the 3100. I have a Cardio III too. Love it, but I was amazed at what I could hear when I tried another nurse's 3100 before I decided to buy it. Love it, and no regrets. Worth the $$.
  3. Which of these two stethoscopes is best? (vote)

    Started with Cardio III, and now finally got the 3100. Love both, but really, really love my 3100. I can hear everything! Keep around neck at ALL times. And, let no one borrow it...it will walk off.
  4. The dumbest thing you've ever heard...

    I am loving reading these!
  5. The dumbest thing you've ever heard...

    I guess this is more amusing than just dumb. It was an elderly man, but alert and oriented...he told me "every time you put that oxygen in my nose right, I have to sh--". I explained to him it had nothing to do with his bowels, but he repeated it se...
  6. Can't sleep anymore!

    I know exactly how you feel. So glad to see this post. I have been having the same problem. I cannot sleep long at all when I am working. On my nights off, I try to switch back to "normal" sleep schedule, and I cannot get a good night's sleep. D...
  7. I just dont know how I feel...

    Sorry you are having to deal with individuals like this! Keep your positive attitude, being a team player, and enjoying your job no matter what. BUT how did this turn into they are on night shift because they belong there and due to their attitudes...
  8. Shift Wars! Just need to vent...

    I understand completely where you are coming from. Seems like where I work it is day shift vs night shift, techs vs techs, nurses vs techs...the list could go on. It gets so old hearing the bickering, complaining, and tattling. It amazes me the pe...
  9. nurse manager was rude to me

    Totally understand your frustration. My NM is the same way. Never know how to take her. Well, she is a lot nicer to her favorites. The favs are suck-ups, some are lazy and spend time talking to her instead of patient care, and they tend to tattle on ...
  10. Is it just the holidays?

    I hear you. Although, sometimes it is easy to take someone the wrong way or read into it too much when you cannot really get their tone from the text. We do have to deal with enough stress as it is. It is a good idea to try to be umm...more const...
  11. Some people should just stay quiet!!!

    People are so hyper-sensitive, uptight, argumentative...oh, so many more for her possible intentions. Who knows. No matter what her reason or excuse, it does sound rude of her. She should have been more concerned and appreciative of the care you were...
  12. Saw this on Facebook. Felt the need to share.

    So funny. I was once asked by a patient if I got any sleep last night...ummm...no, I was WORKING.
  13. Just realized, I think I hate ICU, prefer floors

    I am glad I saw this post. I have been contemplating a change from floor nursing, and one of the options I have considered has been putting in a transfer to ICU, but I have not been so sure about it. I love reading and hearing about other opinions/ex...
  14. Saw this on Facebook. Felt the need to share.

    I agree. That is why I did it seperately. What got to me was in the original post. I do wish we could explain to them we do not control the patient to staff ratios and other things that may be going on. Maybe, they were short-staffed. I do not k...
  15. Saw this on Facebook. Felt the need to share.

    The post the day before the other one: "Lord give me the patience to deal w these people at hospital. Its not my brother's fault they are short handed. You'd think they would make sure this flr is staffed.....Deep breath and AMEN!" Ok, apparently, ...
