1. It's Finally Happened!

   pamelalayn replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Asking why I sound so angry doesn't make any sense. Why do people feel the need and feel so proud to be like that. If a employee is so horrible, then it will show at work. Sorry, I don't have those...

5. Bedside report

   pamelalayn replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

6. Speaking of... Getting to work early

   pamelalayn replied to jrsmrs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

10. First shift of preceptorship: told that my IV priming is wrong

    pamelalayn replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    It really doesn't matter either way. I am amused at your preceptor thinking she's "miss sterile". If it was you'd have a sterile field and sterile gloves etc. Washing your hands and putting on clean...

    The company is not worried about any negativity by the nurse (either is the customer) they are just using the nurse till they find a replacement. The agency wants the customers money and does not care...

15. Nursing Assistant Getting the Run Around

    pamelalayn replied to CheshirePlate's topic in Men in Nursing

    A hospital video is hardly a "position". I think you're looking into the importance and magnitude of it and magnifying it by 1,000. Many workers are in it and not for any grand reason. I also do not...
