1. New Grad...need help dealing with super negative staff!

   kty1 replied to ZenStudent's topic in New Nurse

   loved what you said: "complainers love an audience". this is so very true. we all know that everyone complaines once in a while which is normal, but if you have someone who complains on a day to day basis, this person is like a parasite who is feedin...

2. How do I handle insubordinate CNAs?

   kty1 replied to ginnieann's topic in New Nurse

   you are so..........correct in stating that you must speak their language. there are so...many bad cna's and i don't get it. i have had to deal with some really nasty ones who will actually lie about what has been done with the patient. at first, i w...

6. Mission Trip to Nicaragua

   kty1 replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

   you are so.....right as you do not need to leave the country to help others in need. there also does not need to be any tornadoes, hurricanes, etc, as we know, in order to volunteer to those thousands who are living without basic medical needs as wel...

7. Mission Trip to Nicaragua

   kty1 replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for bringing this up as the USA REALLY needs help from medical teams such as nursing, MD and Dentists. I am thankful for all the many people who do go overseas to help, but wish we could first "clean up our own backyard" so to strengthen t...

   kty1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Relations

   i agree, as i also have had wonderful experiences dealing with all cultures. however, there are some dr's. (as noted in op) that can be very rude and indifferent of other cultures outside their own and have no problem letting you know as i've witnes...

9. I am an American.

   kty1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Relations

   That's just the point, all dr's, nurses that travel outside their country are given documents, classes, etc that are the norms for the particular country they are relocating to. If the dr. had a problem he could have talked with someone about it, bu...

    kty1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Relations

    You obviously have a right to your opinions, but going back on all your posts it seems that you are defending this dr.as if you know him on a personal level. Have you ever worked outside the US? Believe me, there are tons of paper work and docs. to...

11. I am an American.

    kty1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Relations

    If you go back to the OP, you will see he is not from America. The posts relate to OP's concerns. Again, when one comes to America to practice there are papers to sign, read etc.; all about the norms, proceedures, policy etc, about America; thus, t...

    kty1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Relations

    whatever culture one comes from is fine, but when working in america then one needs to abide by the contract signed before coming here to work. no need to be rude to anyone, especially a peer that works with/for you; and if not allowing a nurse to l...

14. I am an American.

    kty1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Relations

    i simply stated my opinion on an op and did not "judge" this doctor, but exposed something that happens almost daily in many hospitals. i cannot begin to say what happened during that conversation (as you note) but will comment on what the original ...

15. I am an American.

    kty1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Relations

    I'm sorry if you thought i was being rude to you. Not at all. I only wanted you to stick to the OP and not stray fro the original comments that have already been made. Again, I was not rude in any way, however, if you believe I was this was not my ...
