    "Your ER sucks!" and other pleasantries...how you handle them?

    Oooh, hold on now. I come from somewhere that is pretty darn left-leaning. Unions are everywhere. If you work for a hospital, it is MANDATORY to be part of the union and pay their dues. Nurse to patient ratio? 8-9:1 med-surg nights. I've also worked ...

    What Keeps Nurses Up at Night?

    Ok, I'll bite. What keeps me up at night is feeling like what I do is completely useless. I entered nursing to make a difference, and there are so many patients, or so many shifts, that make you feel you just spent 12 hours just running in place. You...

    Is This Bullying?

    BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!! I just...I can't....palpitations... There is NO, I repeat NO other red than cherry. All other red flavors should be shot. Or mowed down. Or whatever.
  4. Well........from what I read, it doesn't seem she was talking about a whole race of people getting mowed down, but those who were rioting and being violent in the streets. Or at least that's what I gathered. So, again, the way I read it would imply s...

    Ever have a patient complain about you?

    It's been said, but as a nurse, if people never complain about you, I think you're not doing it right. People will always complain if they don't get what they want. And let's face it, if everyone always made the best choices for their health, well, m...
  6. Is it weird that this makes me jealous? Lol... I've been thinking lately that I should start applying for ED positions, I often work so darn hard as it is, I can't help but feel I might as well have the glory and excitement of ED to go with it. OP, I...
  7. Wooh "You should probably stick to stripping and quit nursing. After all, shifts go much smoother when only men are working. Less drama and complaining. Women should stay where they belong, stripping and home making sandwiches." LMBO! Ok, I know ever...

    Being Asked to Come in and Work as CNA...

    Eh, if paid the wages for your degree of education, it's more a question of 'do I want to work overtime' rather than 'would you work as a CNA?'. Everything they do in a shift, I do as well. If you aren't too tired and want/need the extra cash, go ...
  9. OMG you guys, nurses are supposed to be compassionate, never ever judgmental, paragons of virtue who want nothing more than to help others! How dare you make fun of people trying to get advice from you?! You all are horrible people, I'm sure yo...
  10. Just to be clear, i liked your post for the fact that you are defending being uncomfortable with this behavior, and rightfully so. How is this any different than someone on the bus trying to do anything like that? Would a doctor tolerate that? Wo...

    Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    THIS!!! Seriously, I must have missed the part of my nursing school application or licensing paperwork where I agreed to be a martyr for humanity. No one else watches out for us... Our employers? Um, riiiiiight... As someone else mentioned, it...

    Harsh nurses

    Oh wow. I'm thinking popcorn is going to be needed for this one
  13. I definitely think there is a place for 'herbal nonsense', aka natural medicine. While I may not tell people to stop taking their meds and switch to herbal, I see nothing wrong with telling them to discuss with their doctor taking things like cinnamo...
  14. I once had a pt who was pregnant with twins. She went into labor at 25 weeks, and had to be rushed to emergency c-section. Unfortunately, despite my colleagues' hard work, one baby died in the OR and the other in ambulance on the way to the children'...
  15. Hey, here's a crazy thought. Did you ASK this nurse why she let her friend chart on her computer?
