  1. Injury reports

    Do you fill out injury reports for every minor injury you or another staff sustains at work? At my job they have a notice that we are to fill out an injury form every time staff gets injured "every injury, every time, no matter how small". Most peo...
  2. Staffing Sucks

    Any time I have to work a shift short, I always write a notice to management that the staffing was not what it should be to ensure patient safety and that I am taking my assignment on protest and that they need to ensure that staffing is safer in the...
  3. Help with a poor nurse manager

    I love the saying "A person who saves one life is a hero...a person who saves a hundred lives is a nurse".
  4. Ok, we have all known someone who calls themselves a "nurse" when they are an MA, GNA, tech, etc. What do you do when someone calls themselves a nurse and you know/suspect that they are not? Do you call them on it? Point out that they are breaking...
  5. Nurses with PCOS? Or Advice?

    I feel your pain. I suffered from PCOS for many years and went through 3 1/2 years of infertility treatments without ovulating once. I then got divorced, went on Atkins diet, started working out and lost 90 pounds. I started ovulating naturally, an...
  6. Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    I agree completely. I prefer using Nurse Practitioners over doctors in most cases. My husband had a head injury recently and saw to doctors in the local ER who just dismissed our concerns and sent him home. The third ER visit we went to a better h...

  9. Standing up for "meal break" issue

    Thanks Kona2. In the state of Maryland, they do not need to give us a meal break, but they are to pay us for all time that is worked and can not deduct a 30 minute meal break if we are not fully relieved of all duties. I have no problem with not be...
  10. Standing up for "meal break" issue

    Thanks Kona2. Not likely to get a union where I work. I have been involved with a couple of nurse lobby events and have connections with the NNU + SEIU + ANA. My husband works for a union and I have been a member of HERE union years ago as a waitre...
  11. Standing up for "meal break" issue

    I am likely to be fired soon here. My job has been firing people right and left since the new administrator started. I know that I am putting my job on the line by standing up for our rights, but I don't care any more. I am tired of us nurses bei...
  12. Recently, I was called in to the DON's office and asked if I ever work out at the gym on my lunch break. I said that I hadn't, but have thought about doing it as I need to lose a few pounds and our company has been encouraging us to get healthier. ...
