1. got shouted at yesterday night

   kellykelly replied to melz34's topic in General Nursing

   melz don't take it to heart, it happens sometimes. I like the suggestion of shutting the door, sitting down and having a chat with him. I don't know if he has other issues going on that make it not...

2. How do you work with the "SUPERNURSE"!!!

   kellykelly replied to akrn70's topic in General Nursing

   I think we all have worked with one of these! Ignore her until the next time she pulls it with you. Then call her on it. I bet she'll back down quickly. Lots of nurses act like this because actually,...

3. Resignation Letter- please inspect

   kellykelly replied to Bumashes's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   I see the point of arguing for the more formal letter, but your letter is nice and may foster some goodwill if you ever need to or decide to go back. I'd take out the "though" as highlighted in read...

5. How often should patients get bed baths?

   kellykelly replied to Skippers1's topic in General Nursing

   Amen to the soap and water for the stinky bits! I always throw the used cloths in the dirty linen bag instead of back in the water. I get grossed out seeing butt cloths thrown back in the

6. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

   kellykelly replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   When you've been married 40 years and your spouse is laying in a hospital bed, would YOU want to be kicked out when they could simply get you a recliner? They've been together all that time...most...

7. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

   kellykelly replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   So are you going to ban the family from visiting ever, because of this ONE wife? Why would anyone go get a spouse a tray? Tell them where the vending machines are. I joke about ass kissing but I never...

8. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

   kellykelly replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   If you're not working in the field of medicine, I'm not sure what you're doing. I don't care what "model" you're looking at, that's just semantics at this point. I'm really glad I work with people...

9. How often should patients get bed baths?

   kellykelly replied to Skippers1's topic in General Nursing

12. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

    kellykelly replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's medicine AND customer service, sorry. Obviously there are times when things simply can't be allowed for their safety for medical reasons, but hell if a couple that's been married 40 years wants...

14. Is cath lab considered critical care?

    kellykelly replied to csm99's topic in General Nursing

    It might depend on the hospital. Where I work, it is listed as "critical care" when you look at job apps. They certainly tend to critical patients, flown in from outlying areas for emergency caths, as...

15. In need of a serious "rah rah" (long)

    kellykelly replied to Jean1313's topic in General Nursing

    Rah rah! Six months seems like forever but there is a light at the end of the tunnel... I love bedside nursing and wouldn't do anything else. Maybe you just need another specialty. I love cardiac, our...
