   celery replied to NeosynephRN's topic in General Nursing

   Money would be most important to me.

2. nurses leaving the floor

   celery replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

   If i were you, I would look for a job elsewhere, where you could be part of the crowd instead of always left out.

   We are replacing them with that new hospital-compare thingy by the federal government. I am sure that replacing PG with something else will just continue the absurdity, but hey, I still love the idea of canning PG.

   Upon re-reading it, neither do I! Sorry.

7. Is there anything else I can do for you? I have the time. (new hourly rounding sheet)

   celery replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   That excerpt from ADVANCE is interesting. I haven't noticed the hourly rounding thing boosting nurses morale. If anything, it seems to reduce morale. To be fair though, it's really not all that bad. It only takes about 5 minutes to run around all...

8. Change of shift admissions

   celery replied to kittymom's topic in General Nursing

   I think there should be a 'no transfer, no admit' between 6-8am and 6-8pm. In the end, the most important factor should be patient safety.

9. What ice storm? Get yourself to work!!

   celery replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

   I too will not risk my life to come into work. If the hospital wants to send someone way the heck out into the country to see what my hour long drive is like, they are welcome to come. I will give them hot chocolate. But I am not getting in a vehi...

10. What??? No CNA's???

    celery replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would look elsewhere. 5-6 patients with less than usual help from cna's is too much for me. Also, are you sure it pays 40 for 36? That seems unusual. Usually, they consider 36 full time for benifits, but they only pay you for what you ...

11. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    celery replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    true, maybe, but she could divorce him years later, and have half his money for free...lol to the OP, you could work 60 hours a week till then. It may not be pleasant, but you could certainly do it.

12. things you wish you could tell the doctor

    celery posted a topic in General Nursing

    I enjoyed reading the things you wish you could tell the patient, here is something I wish I could have told the doctor: We are standing at the foot of the patients bed... Doc: Has her foley been d/c ed? I'm not even going to say what I was thinking...

13. Where did our autonomy go?

    celery replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses have always followed doctor's orders, since the beginning of our profession. If I wanted to be autonomous, i would have chosen another profession. I agree with other posters that we have never been autonomous. Also, no offense, but I don't ...

14. Do I really have to study a second language?

    celery replied to The-Manny's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be the manager of the Foreign Languages Department at a major university. I can tell you for sure that to meet many college and university requirements for foreign language, you may test out. In some cases you may have to test as well as in...
