  1. To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    I think it is total foolishness to discredit the people who have had children or loved ones that died or became impaired after receiving a vaccination. On the other hand, the advocates for vaccinations make great points. I have seen a baby die of per...
  2. New nurse having a hard time with coworkers

    I came on this board 6 years ago because I was struggling with my charge nurse. I felt strongly that she was targeting me often under the radar. She wrote me up for things that had nothing to do with a realistic synopsis of my performance. The thi...
  3. Feel like giving up. Help, please!

    I was in STTI for two years. I did not receive anything special other than the honor of being chosen. Still, my hospital could have cared less. 99.9% of the nurses in my unit are not STTI nurses. So after two years of paying the dues, I stopped p...
  4. Could I be sued for neglect or lose my license over this?

    All you need to do in those cases is chart that the O2 saturation etc was reported to the nurse and physician (with their names). No orders received. You can't go over their heads. As it turned out, you were correct. But you might have been incorr...
  5. When you want to slap your co-workers

    I really blame the seeming lack of pay to the society versus the hospital administration. In a socialistic society, salaries are equalized in every realm so that the guy who is working at a job that does not require an education gets equal pay. I s...
  6. Over 60, seasoned nurse, fired for not being a "Robot RN."

    I concur. We think following the old ways of treating our fellow nurses is acceptable. We don't see these things from the perspective of these younger nurses. Hospitals are tired of recruiting newbies only to have them leave because they feel that pe...
  7. Being blamed for fall after shift

    In answer to your original question, in all situations that you encounter as a nurse, remember today. When things go wrong, people generally do not take ownership for the mistake. This was definitely a mistake albeit unintentional. I would have got...
  8. I Should Be in Jail

    The saddest part of these stories is that we can offer love and support to the children but we are not the "ones" who the child wants to be giving it. At the end of the day, strangers do not satisfy that need for a real mom or dad. I have witnessed...
  9. My Burnout Story

    There is a balance in what I have to say. On the one hand, our job as medical professionals must be to preserve life; but on the other hand, we have to accept death as a possibility. We are often not in control of that outcome. We do what we can a...
  10. Day 4: 2016 Nurses Week Top 5 Things Contest

    1. Never be afraid to ask if you don't know. 2. Triple check your numbers. 3. Cover your a$$. If it wasn't charted, it wasn't done. 4. If it comes down to our friendship or my license - sorry. It's my license. 5. Do to others as you would have t...

  14. bullying? racism? or overreacting?

    This is a classic example of nurse on nurse aggression done covertly and surreptiously. It is a definite way that nurses are known to act wrongfully to other nurses by dumping a large assignment or one that is too difficult to handle. The why quest...
  15. Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    I will tell you why I love nursing. I love seeing a child come in super sick and then get better. The stories I could tell. I love babies and all that is involved with them and their unique physiology. It is rewarding to see that healing process ...
