2. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

   HvnSntRN replied to MunoRN's topic in Headlines

   When I worked in Mother-Baby Care, we were not permitted to leave a drowsy mother alone with her newborn in the bed with her. If we set her up to breastfeed, we had to go in and check on them after 30 minutes. We didn't allow them to co-bed, but the ...

3. How does your employer expect you to deal with... *perverts*?

   HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Triage

   Thanks, everyone for the support, and I apologize for not responding to you sooner. Once I returned to work in March, Head Office decided to shut down the call center in my city about a month later. I had heard some rumblings and had prepared for the...

4. Terminated after two months and in need of help please!

   HvnSntRN replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric

   Personally, I think as a new grad, with barely 6 months' experience, being put in charge without knowing how to properly use equipment, etc., is an untenable situation. It would never have happened in any environment where I've worked. No wonder you ...

5. Thank you, Joy Behar!

   "The View" is just one more example of how TV has gone and made stupid, ignorant people famous and obscenely wealthy.

6. Nurses don't know the lab

   HvnSntRN replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

   I, for one, have the highest respect for lab technologists. I studied Medical Laboratory Technology right out of high school - it was the toughest program to be accepted to, and one of the toughest programs to succeed in. For reasons that I don't wi...

7. How does your employer expect you to deal with... *perverts*?

   HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Triage

   Part of the problem for front line RNs is that these callers have the right to remain anonymous and to have recordings of their calls suspended. This also helps to protect the company because of a lack of evidence. Were I to override a caller's reque...

8. How does your employer expect you to deal with... *perverts*?

   HvnSntRN posted a topic in Triage

   I've been working teletriage at a call center for almost a year and I'm getting fed up with the volume of calls from repeat male callers who are looking for a toll-free way to talk about their "prolonged erection" with a captive audience who happens ...

9. (Not so) Daily Affirmations

   HvnSntRN replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU

   When I was asked about a farewell lunch in my "honour" I politely declined. I don't do well when I'm the centre of attention at the best of times, but mainly I didn't want to reward the bullies with an opportunity to pat themselves on the back for gi...

10. (Not so) Daily Affirmations

    HvnSntRN replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU

    I left my NICU job a few months ago too. There were bullies and while the manager paid lip service to the policies intended to reign in the bullies, ultimately I realized that my health and mental well being were more important. I miss the direct pa...

11. Hanging It Up

    HvnSntRN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Retired

    I couldn't agree with you more. I turned in my 2 weeks' notice on Monday morning. I've spent the last 3½ years in a Level 2 Enhanced Nursery after more than 12 years in Mother-Baby Care. I started my career a bit later than most - I graduated nursin...

    If I can't get Workers' Comp for my sore feet, what makes you think you can?

13. neonatal IV sticks

    HvnSntRN replied to smbluthing's topic in NICU

    I transferred to a Level II nursery last summer, after working for over 12 years on Mother-Baby. It's taken lots of attempts over several months, but finally was able to do a successful IV blood draw the other day. I assist and observe whenever I get...

14. Mother/Baby VENT!!!

    HvnSntRN replied to BaByNuRsE07's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My postpartum position was eliminated due to cutbacks and hiring LVNs. In hindsight, moving to the NICU was the best decision for me. Previously, it was routine to have 4 couplets, a couple of discharges and admissions daily, but once the LVNs came i...

15. Night Shift For Newbies

    HvnSntRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Don't eat junk food on nights. Your body requires the best nutrition possible - lots of fruit and veggies, yogurt, nuts and seeds, hard cooked eggs, etc. - we need to compensate for the physical challenges of tampering with our circadian rhythms. Als...
