   NurseCherlove replied to RnM21's topic in Activism

   Man, don't even get me started!!!!!!!!:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire It's sickening to think about how much free time I have given my employer over the past couple of years. This was mostly at one hospital in particular w/ this s...

2. Suicide. Please, help me right away. Please.

   NurseCherlove replied to Ayeloflo's topic in General Nursing

   Yes. Also, as a health care professional, I can tell you that if they do admit to having suicidal ideations, then the next step is to ask them if they have a plan. I bring this up just because this person may possibly be reluctant to discuss these ...

   Exactly.

4. Nursing Culture / Career Path

   NurseCherlove replied to hotmama2be's topic in General Nursing

   My first job as a nurse in a local hospital was an extremely toxic environment. It almost "did me in" as far as nursing was concerned. But, it didn't - and I'm so glad! In subsequent jobs, I have met some of the most awesome people, and yes some p...

5. Hospital figures break time out of pay?

   NurseCherlove replied to ok2bme's topic in Activism

   Yeah, well, not to stray from the topic here, but what really gets my goat is being told by the NM that overtime is prohibited unless first approved by a charge nurse. So, basically, if you are busy all shift and don't have time to chart until the e...

6. need ideas for cancer patients

   NurseCherlove replied to trmr's topic in General Nursing

   My very simple advice is this...make sure she has an intense, from the belly, episode(s) of laughter each and every day. Did you know there are actually groups whose sole purpose is laughter therapy? Also, my mom told me (don't know how much validi...

7. help cardiac nurses!

   NurseCherlove replied to RN75's topic in Safety

   RN75, I am so sorry this happened to you - hospital politics is such crap! I totally think they are trying to scapegoat you for many reasons. To begin with, what about all of the other nurses who gave plavix for the past week - are they getting fi...

8. child abuse nursing?

   NurseCherlove replied to myrose's topic in Career Support

   Kudos to you Mia for desiring to apply your energies to such a cause. My problem is that I would want to beat the crap out of the abusers!

9. Call For Other Group One Victims

   NurseCherlove replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Career Support

   I don't even live in TX, but I have heard of these freaks. Soooo wrong!! You got my support if I can do anything (speaking as someone who also has been wrongfully shafted).

10. I got terminated, should I put them down on my job history?

    NurseCherlove replied to dalvnjjh's topic in Career Support

    While a lot of what you are saying is true, I just had to speak up for the OP Re: the comment that he is more concerned with himself over the residents. I didn't get that at all. In fact, he said that he treats the residents like his relatives (or ...

11. HELP!!!! I need your response today!!!!

    NurseCherlove replied to chocolate123's topic in Geriatric

    So, you're saying that at one point she was ok with your concerns about going to this unit (i.e. not pressing the issue) and now you happen to find out (only b/c you called) that you are scheduled there for the weekend? What if you hadn't called to...

12. Low/moderate stress nursing jobs???

    NurseCherlove replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious to know what kind of floor are you working on to think that med-surg will be less stressful? I ask because I found myself having CPs at work sometimes when I worked med-surg, not to burst your bubble. Are you changing facilities altoget...

13. Low/moderate stress nursing jobs???

    NurseCherlove replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    Well I finally bit the bullet...just this morning in fact. Yep, I put in my notice on the tele floor where I work. I'll be going to work in a cardio office. While I'm scared of missing that direct, hands on patient care at the hospital, I am so lo...

14. When you overhear...

    NurseCherlove replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the situation. Like most, I don't want to appear like the know-it-all type. Saturday night, I was in CVS and there was only one other customer in the store. This guy came in asking the clerk to help him find medicine for a stye on his ey...

15. er visitors...a funny

    NurseCherlove replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    Let's not forget about Nancy Namedropper. She knows the DON on a first name basis - :bowingpur- just so you don't go gettin' any wise ideas about not catering to her family member's every whim/need immediately. Ok, so I'm not an ER nurse. This is f...
