1. Obese Nurses

   ANnot4me replied to Goldentreasure's topic in Stress 101

   I extensively interview all nurses who care for me. Factors that I feel impede safe care by an RN are a caloric intake above or below the trend of the day (I so agree, fatties are icky), history of domestic abuse of any sort (I go back 3 generations...

2. Nurse's Week Gifts from Employers

   ANnot4me replied to twss2323's topic in Relations

   Nurses' Day is patronizing. There is no "Toilet Cleaners Day", no "Garbage Collectors' Day" and no "Street Sweepers'" Day. We all do are job and we get paid. If you want to appreciate me, treat people with respect.

5. Irrational patients

   ANnot4me replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in Relations

   I worked in General Medicine 20 years ago as a new nurse and had very little knowledge of delirium. I am not sure if it was a training deficit or if it was something that just did not "click" with me. It was always very frustrating and it was very ...

6. Nurse Bullying

   ANnot4me replied to Slhengy's topic in Relations

   My apologies for resorting to stereotypes and denigrating people with the use of the word "hillbilly". I was angry and if you look at my previous posts, you will see I do not usually use this tactic in my posts.

   ANnot4me replied to alprn1414's topic in Professionalism

   Accept your responsibility in this situation. Learn from it, get a new job and don't make the same mistake again. I am a man, made the same mistake and it was a very hard life lesson.

    ANnot4me replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    And your senior team agreed to the use of "juicy cough" in the documentation? Very odd.

11. Just Lost! Advice please!

    ANnot4me replied to priyaremi's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Goodness, this thread has so many layers. I am a nurse and the product of extensive mental and physical abuse. I could preach and recommend, but it never works. I can just say that your children will most likely re-enact the model and the behavi...

12. Just Lost! Advice please!

    ANnot4me replied to priyaremi's topic in General Nursing

    I am having problems here understanding why Ireland has a huge nursing shortage. Isn't Ireland a part of the EU? A few years ago the Irish Nursing Board was discouraging applications by charging people a hundred Euros to "pre-screen" applicants pri...

13. Nurse Bullying

    ANnot4me replied to Slhengy's topic in Relations

    I have never been to ND and I have no concern as to what your hillbilly state's Nurse Practice Act contains. I would be shocked if your Nurse Practice Act did not contain any mention of professional behaviour and how one should not publically denigr...

    In my life's experience, most people and families' have demons hidden in their closet. That is all..

15. Wording for Resigning

    ANnot4me replied to missmaddie's topic in General Nursing

    You do not need a reason to resign. Just resign and keep it professional. If they care to know why, then they will offer an exit interview.
