  1. Fantasia credits nurse for saving her

    I think she was reaching out for help. Granted, not the best way to do it, but she may have been desparate. I do believe one profound statement from a stranger can save your life. I believe it because I've experienced it. Angels are everywhere.
  2. Absence of Teamwork

    Just the other day (a very bad, frustrating day,) I asked some of our senior nurses who have been working this same floor for over 30 years how they made it this long. Their answer was that it used to be fun....FUN???? They said it is so different ...
  3. Sick days in the US...and job security

    I think it is rude to come in to work sick/contagious. If you work on a floor with direct patient care and with other employees who can get what you have....PLEASE stay home. If one of us comes in with some sort of virus, it usually makes it's rounds...
  4. Sick days in the US...and job security

    WOW...I think you should find a new place to work!!!
  5. Yea!!!! And don't forget practicing foley catheter insertion on each other!!
  6. Patients who stay on the phone when you come...

    If a patient is on the phone when I enter the room, most of the time they hang up. If they don't, I will stand politely at the foot of their bed with a smile. They usually get the message.

    They can't afford their pills because the drug companies are out to make themselves richer too....more greedy CEOs.
  8. How much does your hospital ceo make?

    Just curious......you're in administration aren't you? I don't think any profession is worth 30 million dollars a year, including the CEO of the hospital where I am employed. Yes the more you learn the more you earn, but no one learns that much!
  9. I am an American.

    When in Rome........Doc!
  10. UHGGGG!!!! DOCTORS!!!

    If the nurse doesn't page the doc about the order, pharmacy absolutely will!!!! The kicker is this doc won't even call back when you do page him. We have to page him several times!!!!! FRUSTRATING!
  11. UHGGGG!!!! DOCTORS!!!

    I just have to vent!!! I'm at work today and I hear Dr. A complain to Dr. B that he received a written reprimand for using an unapproved abreviation for a drug he wrote for a patient. Then he proceeds to blame the nurse who took the order off becau...
  12. When did patients become "clients"?

    ooops. read above!
  13. When did patients become "clients"?

    It's all about customer service now. We have to worry about patient satisfaction scores constantly. I feel like this...If you came into the hospital sick and you went home feeling better than when you came in, your customer service was great!!! Now i...
