  1. Patient Abandonment? Sorry long

    Could you tell me where I could find this pt right that you quoted so that I can bring it in to work?
  2. Exeter Hospital--starting pay?

    How much mandatory on-call time do you have to pick up if you work full-time? Also, what does the hospital do if nobody wants to take the stand-by? I know where I work, if you're not per diem and you're not on overtime, they can't cancel you unless...

    The irony is that that same nurse would've probably nailed you to the wall if you HAD touched the IV! I hope she was spoken to.
  4. Failing Nursing

    I don't think it's a lack of intelligence, so don't let it lower your dignity. Is English your second language? There are classes at community colleges that can help you w/your reading and writing skills. Good luck.

    Would you and your group please come and precept at my hospital? We would appreciate it and you'll learn a lot. And I never ask students to do what they're not allowed to do. I wll clarify by saying that the studnets at my hospital are the ones I'm...
  6. Students

    I definitely don't treat the students as if they are there to be nursing assistants. I like having students to teach. At your hospital you are not to answer lights or answer the phone. However, at my hospital the students are supposed to do these ...
  7. Worried about blood exposure

    If it makes you feel any better, a doc at my hospital was stuck w/a needle while putting a central line into a pt w/Hep C and AIDS. She was fine. I think your chances of getting anything are very slim. At any rate, I'll say a prayer for you.
  8. oh ye uninformed... this is why er nurses "don't care"

    At my hospital they give cab vouchers.
  9. MORPHINE and Dying Patients

    I have no problem w/giving morphine, esp to a dying pt. It's sad that so many people have had to suffer when they die. It's so sad when someone does die, but if they can go peacefully, that is so much better.

    TO 1BUSYSN: The system won't allow me to post the way I'd like, but this is in resonse to your last post. First off, I don't complain about everything. I'm only complaining about the students on my flr. On my last annual review, one staff comment w...
  11. Students

    Judging from their bold attitudes, I don't think the group of students we have right now is overwhelmed or scared. I have talked to the instructor and so has our DON, nurse manager, clinical educator and the clinical ed's assistant. They have also ...
  12. Do many nurses resent their patients?

    I agree. The pts are the great part of the job. Even if I get a pt w/outrageous behaviors, I try to pretend he/she is one of kids who is sick/hurting and I usually feel my stress level drop. If someone really gets off the wall, I politely say, "I ...
  13. Irritated with myself....

    You sound pretty caring and competent to me!

    I'm not angry that they're lazy, hell, I'm lazy-I wouldn't work at all if I won the lottery. I'm angry that they won't do what they're supposed to do when asked. I'd also say that only 10% of the population is lazy.
  15. Students

    I'm the OP and the reason I havn't responded in a few days is b/c I've been working a lot and taking care of my three kids and my big old house. I'm sure you can all relate to being busy. As to the poster who said that people around me probably can'...
