  1. i emailed her here is her response: hi sherri, thanks for your message and for joining our group. i wish he was unique in his thinking! i read the thread beneath his blog posting and he appears to have heard the concerns that many nurses expresse...
  2. The blog has been deleted. How interesting. :)
  3. I thought it was a farce. It's so fake that it is more offensive than the original comments.
  4. I realize he is a shock jock, but part of the problem we have today is that we don't demand respect. I've read hundreds of posts where we as nurses tend to accept negative behavior rather then confront it. As the medical field begins to adopt the ...
  5. It really frosted my cookies when I read this. I used to work at the hospital he is talking about. The nurses are awesome! Pretty young nurses often don't WANT to take care of patients like this guy. They don't want to be hit on by an overweight lou...
  6. this radio dj "reviews" his hospital stay. he feels he would be in "better hands if i had nurses that were sexy". grrr!! tired of men thinking nurses are pin-up girls in stiletto heels wearing white miniskirts! what a jerk! http://1061evansville...
  7. whinny nurses

    I guess my pet peeve is poor spelling, poor grammar, and slang talk. We consider nursing a profession, so we should be able to write and speak like professionals. We did graduate college so our spelling should be at a high school level (at least) o...
  8. Glad they are flooding the market with New Grads...

    This post truly hits home. I agree with the person who said they believe the high unemployment rate plays a part. Hospitals have cut back their nursing staff. Ours is currently trying to (illegally) force us to work overtime and be on-call even th...
  9. Getting a union

    Did you ever get an answer? I have emailed National Nurses United twice now and have received NO response
  10. Moving to Illinois as a new grad

    It takes FOREVER to get your license in Illinois too! I wish you luck! :)
  11. On-call pay? Commuters?

    You are right. I would have to be 1/2 way to work for the entire day. I have heard it has been suggested that we simply drive to the town I work in and "hang out" for the day in case we are needed. Are they going to pay me full wages for "hanging ou...
  12. On-call pay? Commuters?

    My unit manager is looking to institute an on-call program. Nurses must sign up for one on-call day every pay period (two weeks). They are wanting nurses to be within 30 minutes of the hospital if they are on call. Many of us commute. I commute a...
  13. MD Quote of the Week

    Sure, the nurses may KNOW what the answer should be, but... it's the doctor's job to know this. I worry when doctors start asking us for medications and diagnosis. When I started med-surg out of nursing school, there were so many residents/docs with...
  14. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    Truthfully, the "olde order view" is still pretty current today (at least in my region). Sure my hubby can watch the kids and make an edible dinner, but it has taken quite a bit of time to get him there. He isn't the only hubby like this. We joke at...
  15. disappearing nurses notes!

    The problem is this: it can be considered a HIPAA violation (I was told). I had a pt hemorrhage and made copies of my detailed notes because the doctor wanted to review the case the following week. I was told by my director that I was violating HIPA...
