1. Trying not to be Discouraged:(

   msbfree replied to Freedomsong's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I have had my share of "rude", from instructors, to preceptors, to managers, it can be endless, but I regard them all part of the experience in my determination to be a great nurse. I pity their disdain to teach and reach the next gerneratin of...

2. answer to question or opinion

   msbfree replied to Hollyrobyn's topic in General Nursing

   I too work for a state facility, the best way is to find other employees that you can voice concerns with to either find ways to work with the system or change it. The union is an organized effort, but you and your cohorts can be as effective if you ...

3. I can't believe this! This is crazy!

   msbfree replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in General Nursing

   Reporting her may not result in her being fired, this maybe the only way she can get some help. She not only violated hippa, but she does not appear to have respect for boundaries, and should not work in an environment where people are vulnerable.

   msbfree replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

   Some voices just carry!!, I too am a loud talker... And when I notice it I really do become embarrassed. I think I maybe partially deaf. But I am working on it. My dear friends always give me gentle reminders to pipe it down..

6. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

   msbfree replied to siringe's topic in Headlines

   I really feel that forums even this one should be used with the utmost discretion. The information displayed by someone here on this site which mentions "state of Texas " is taking it for granted that another state employee may not be able to identif...

9. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

   msbfree replied to siringe's topic in Headlines

   If your jobs provides you access that is not priviledged to the public, then I think that your views can be cultivated by your environment and will depict information that can distort and mislead even if unintentionally. I would reframe from remarks ...

10. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    msbfree replied to siringe's topic in Headlines

    HIPPA is so major, that if I have relatives, friends or any associates that come to my facility, I will not go and visit until they return home. I will usually send a card, or leave a message on their phone, but thats it. I know I would never disclos...

11. Should I try to work as CNA before I get my RN?

    msbfree replied to nolamor's topic in CNA/MA

    Although you will gain valuable experience from the access to patient care, be aware that it is a real job. Try to get a PRN shift so that when your class schedule changes, like during the summer you can balance both work and school. I tried both, an...

12. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    msbfree replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not certain that this qualifies as a ghost story. But on a Med-Surg unit that I worked on several years ago there was a light that would dim really low, then flicker. When it happened we would say "go check you patients", you know as a sort of jo...
