1. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made as a nurse? What did you learn from it?

   bsveillon replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

   I once gave an injection, back when I was still intimidated by older nurses and Doctors, And I was told to give a Morphine injection, when I went to check the chart for myself for drug allergies, I was barked at by the Doctors. I foolishly followed o...

2. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

   bsveillon replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, I saw a DON tell that to a patient one time in the ER, he told him, "Please, next time, finish the job so we won't be forced to take you any more." I told him he was a sorry excuse for a nurse and shouldn't come on the floor. I know it gets "...

3. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

   bsveillon replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

   Well, that's probably another thread, but I'll say it anyway. Non-nursing folks, including patients and family members, wouldn't have any opinions about different licenses if the industry wouldn't put out a certain image. I've trained many new R.N.s ...

4. US nurses... what makes you do it??!! (rhetorical question alert!!!)

   bsveillon replied to purplesteth's topic in General Nursing

   Although, here in south louisiana, any day of the week you'd be able to get a full-time nursing job. It all depends ont he region, unfortunately.

5. US nurses... what makes you do it??!! (rhetorical question alert!!!)

   bsveillon replied to purplesteth's topic in General Nursing

   I tend to believe you would have a huge advantage getting a job in a "closer to normal" market- if for nothing else, you're experience. I know when I'm in the hospital, I am very picky about the nurse, being I am one. I'm almost to the point of bein...

6. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

   bsveillon replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

   I get comments all time about being "Just" an LPN. I was told last week, "You should really consider become an R.N. because you're too good to be just and L.P.N." I've nurses I've known for a long time, tell me, "I would have never guessed you're ...

7. What all ER nurses need to watch.... soooo funny

   bsveillon replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

   LOL That's funny-and accurate.

8. Do you have any authority in your LTC facility?

   bsveillon replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Geriatric

   You must not been in the work force long. I remember catching one nurse having sex in the hospital! Totally believable that someone would say that.

9. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

   bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Lol. Very funny. Ok, You're right, My mistake. Well, You're right and wrong. Right, I misread your comment, wrong about my "MO" being drama. but anyway, have a good day. P.S., the point is, I'm not calling you unqualified or incompetant, I would thin...

10. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    What I call drama is taking something small and making it big. If calling your job "Easy" is the WORST and MOST DISRESPECTFUL thing you've heard from a fellow nurse, then you must lead a very boring life.

11. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Louisiana. I must apologize. Like I've tried to state, I was harsh on ed nurses. I've seen that now. But, my point is, this is my experience, not to be a stereotype of all ER nurses. I'm sure I've been a "Dramaking" sometimes, too. Let me not be unf...

    Just cut the drama.

13. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    actually, i have walked in your shoes, as i've stated a couple of times already on this thread. as i've also stated, this is not a "gospel truth" statement, but my experience says that most of the er nurses i worked with were like this. i've been an ...

14. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    How simple is that? The concept simple to me. OH! Don't let anyone else read this- this might beat me out for being "the most disrespectful thing I've heard from a fellow nurse". How dare you!

15. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Cool, graceful. Nice
