  1. Why Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    I have been a nurse 10 years and I remember being new and being in tears trying to give report to ICU. This nurse KNEW I was new and was hell bent on tearing me down. I made a vow to never treat another nurse the way I was treated. It is cruel and c...
  2. Why Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    Because it is a profession comprised primarily of women and women can be vicious, catty, jealous beotches. Not only that, but you are taking women of all ages and throwing them together. I have always found it was the older, fatter unattractive, bit...
  3. I would turn it down, as you are not qualified for it. I am rather curious as to why you would be offered a position like that with no experience in the first place. Not trying to sound harsh but I am presenting to you the reality of the situation. Y...
  4. I think I just ended someone's career

    I don't feel sorry for the junkie lpn who endangered her patients. She had a choice. She made the choice to get wasted at work. I hope she never gets her license back. And anyone who feels sorry for her because she has a "disease" .. I bet they would...
  5. Staffing Ratios Condemn Patients To Inferior Care

    While I agree with you that it is a management issue ...it is easier said than done. Especially in a very large, very busy ER with maybe one charge nurse. I see it all the time. Nurses will come up with excuse after excuse to keep the pt there. I ha...
  6. Staffing Ratios Condemn Patients To Inferior Care

    I am not a total fan of staffing ratios. At least not in the ER. In my experience...in order to adhere to ratio, pts waiting to be seen are sitting in waiting room for hours. And inside the nurses don't turn over their pts because they know they will...

  10. Health Insurance and Traveling

    IN my experience the insurance pretty much sucks. High copay, high deductible, high coinsurance, usually HMO. That's even if they offer major medical. And half the time its some weird company that no one accepts. Better off having your own.
  11. Reputation of a travel company

    Agreed. I am only with them because I need to work in South Florida and they are the only agency who got me a job
  12. Vastus Lateralis

    I got in trouble for doing that to a drunk pt who kicked me in the stomach .(security wasn't holding her down well enough) Charge nurse scolded me for not using sterile technique. Give me an effin break. I would do it again if I had to.
  13. Vastus Lateralis

    I usually do it for kids. Its harder for them to get away from me and the muscle pops out quite nicely.
  14. Reputation of a travel company

    True dat. I was told they provide rental cars, license reimbursement and certification reimbursement. Guess what? None of that happened. I was also charged a move-in fee and upgrade fee when they put me in their extended stay housing. The health ins...
