1. This "us" vs "them" mentality....

   All4Seasons replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Relations

   That's a low brow response from you,isn't it, Linear Thinker? I thought you prided yourself on your intellect. Perhaps you didn't understand the question In any regard,I am through with AN. To read so much caustic,sarcastic,bombastic drivel....well,...

2. From a student, to, hospital floor nurses...

   All4Seasons replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

   Yawn... you did nothing different from what I (and likely most other student nurses) did,except,obviously,experience what happens on a typical night shift...just for the heck of it

3. From a student, to, hospital floor nurses...

   All4Seasons replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

   I take it,then,that you were never assigned a night shift as a student? That's odd. Odder still if your instructor came in and did it with you,instead of you being buddied with a floor nurse.

4. This "us" vs "them" mentality....

   All4Seasons replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Relations

   Linear Thinker says," the reason nursing isn't respected is" ; my question for him/ her is, isn't respected by whom? That is a massive generalization.

5. From a student, to, hospital floor nurses...

   All4Seasons replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

   Mindlor, excellent posts. You will make a very fine nurse. Disregard the flotsam and jetsam expressed here -I quite happily do so. Thankfully,developing a cynical and hard-nosed attitude is not a given in this profession -and I'm speaking 30 years i...

6. From a student, to, hospital floor nurses...

   All4Seasons replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

   Reading the terse,dismissive replies you've received here,the question which begs answering is "WHO taught them when they came onto the wards as overwhelmed,excited student nurses?"

7. From a student, to, hospital floor nurses...

   All4Seasons replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

   OP,I get where you are coming from - it is just such an awful feeling to be treated shabbily by someone who is supposed to be mentoring you.Some nurses,like myself,love to teach; others find it just cumbersome. My advice is if you find yourself with ...

8. Quick Question

   All4Seasons replied to 0402's topic in General Nursing

   Experience with cardiac moniters,i.e. interpreting cardiac rhythms- that's what's meant.

9. Will I be refreshed? I want to know your experiences.

   All4Seasons replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Not all units are this horrible. I've learned, the hard way, to listen to myself. I knew I had to leave a unit,I'd had it. I searched and searched the hospital looking for a department which interested me and was a good fit schedule-wise. I stumbled ...

10. Pct refused delegation

    All4Seasons replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    @Lilaclover - I'd suggest documenting on this care worker.If she hates her job so much that her response to toileting a pt or two is to try to ignore them, and then when pushed to do it, groans audibly- her behind-the-scenes care is likely to be atro...

11. Ethical (?) Dilemma?

    All4Seasons replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in your position I would not give up your chance at workng days- you have done your stint on nights.The other nurse will need to sort out her situation. Very few nurses aren't sleepy,_to some degree,after night shift. And please don't burde...

12. Sitting down to calm an upset patient is unprofessional?

    All4Seasons replied to kristandrews's topic in Relations

    Please continue to follow your heart through your nursing practice,caring is what it's all about. Based on your description of the event, this person is seriously misguided;good for you for questioning what you were told. If I had a dime for all the ...

13. Student nurse gets the boot...veteran nurse fired

    All4Seasons replied to C287's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even know where to start with this train wreck....the lack of good judgement, all around,_ is spectacular.

14. EM nursing

    All4Seasons replied to big bang theory's topic in Emergency

    Where I come from,nurses wanting to work in the ED must complete an emergency nursing certificate program- unless they have been seasoned for a minimum of one year in one of the critical care areas. That's a pretty common requirement.

15. Attention Nurses....

    All4Seasons replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    why in the world would i want you to pm me your name?? you are either being deliberately obtuse or....whatever. you obviously have or have had bullying issues -fair enough - but that is not anywhere near being the central issue here; why in the world...
