1. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

   ColdFusion replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

   Completely agree with that statement, I'd much rather someone tell me what they think TO MY FACE, directly. A "lost art".... :roll

2. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

   ColdFusion replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

   Uh....this is what I was talking about being "inappropriate": No offense but I think YOUR comment to the nurse manager about this man was inappropriate.....

3. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

   ColdFusion replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

   That strikes me as extremely inappropriate. I think there's more to this story....

4. CNA's in control

   ColdFusion replied to FlorentineBird's topic in General Nursing

   I'd wager this isn't an isolated incident. I'd ALSO wager that, if the RN writes her up or otherwise attempts to discipline her in any way that the Unit Manager will take the nurse aide's "side."

5. WHY are nurses so catty??

   ColdFusion replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Relations

   Absolutely agree......I've worked in several different hospitals and other situations as a RN and it is true.......

6. Compact States

   ColdFusion replied to nightingale's topic in General Nursing

   Your list is not complete, Tennessee isn't on there and it's in the Compact.

7. For Those that Wear Support Stockings...

   ColdFusion replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

   I wear support stockings, started when I went to twelve-hour shifts. I wear the kind that have graduated compression. I think all nurses should wear them, to head off any circulation problems that could develop from being on your feet so long.......

8. Evil People

   ColdFusion replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

   Kudos to you, Happy ER RN, for not knocking the dragon's block off! It's a damned shame we can't just call security or some other designated personnel to deal with the crazies, which are legion. There are more NUTTY patients (and family members!) o...

9. WORST NIGHT EVER!!! Will it ever end????

   ColdFusion replied to PedsRNBSN's topic in New Nurse

   Sounds like hell. Talk to your Unit Mgr, tell her you're goin' nutz and need a BREAK. They need to stop dumping on you. Talk to her and if you don't get satisfied, start looking for another job, they're plenty of them out there!

10. HELP!! Railroaded by co-worker!!

    ColdFusion replied to Phenomenon's topic in General Nursing

    If it is her word against yours, I wouldn't worry too much. In fact, it may be a good thing. Use this as an opportunity to bring this entire situation to your Unit Manager's attention. Tell them your entire story of how this person has targete...

11. Mental Break or Mental BreakDOWN

    ColdFusion replied to shape0fmyheart's topic in New Nurse

    Just a few thoughts: Are you making full use of your nurse aides? Are you letting others know when you feel swamped? The other nurses have evidently noticed that you have been having a lot of difficult patients. Talk to your unit manager. Tell her h...

12. insulin med error

    ColdFusion replied to flyladynurse's topic in New Nurse

    Med errors are much more common than anyone will admit, you did the right thing, learn from it and go on.... We have to co-sign all insulins where I work.

13. New and frustrated; ready to quit!

    ColdFusion replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget the old "it wasn't a good fit" explanation.............

15. Advice please!!!

    ColdFusion replied to leielaine's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a pulse and respirations, you're a shoe-in. LOL Honestly, some of the people who get hired as CNAs...well...:chair: It sounds like you already have the necessary "qualifications", i.e., desire to BE a CNA, to learn, etc. Your enthusiasm ...
