1. Why can't hospitals do better?

   Delicate Flower replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in Activism

   Yes, money matters, but it's a complex issue. Do you think more money should be spent on enhancing the food and creating more warmth in the care environment (better furnishings, decor, etc)? Do you think that money should be spent on these areas at t...

   Delicate Flower replied to 84RN's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, weighing diapers is pretty much a NICU/peds thing. I've never seen it done in adults.

   What is babbling?

8. New Grad - Need Some Advice

   Delicate Flower replied to MommyNurse123's topic in Relations

   I feel for you. I have been in a similar situation where I got called by the manager (at home, on my day off), to discuss some horrid behavior of mine that allegedly happened the week prior. I had NO idea what she was talking about, and spent half a ...

9. A question of ethics

   Delicate Flower replied to Kris0215's topic in Relations

   I agree with all of the PP. Most hospitals I have worked in have had a process in place for patients who want to give a compliment or special recognition to an employee who provides great care and/or service. There are feedback cards and surverys whi...

10. PTSD as a result of nursing clinicals?

    Delicate Flower replied to tortorRN's topic in Stress 101

    I don't know whether your symptoms could be called PTSD, but they are defininitely under the anxiety/panic attack umbrella and are severe enough to get in the way of your work and life. I would make an appointment with your MD ASAP. There is no need ...

11. Should high absenteeism be cause to be fired?

    Delicate Flower replied to Emergent's topic in Professionalism

    I think it's interesting that peope seem to know when someone is calling in for "BS reasons." How do you know? Do they tell you? Yes, there are some who do advertise their bad intentions to call of for a stupid reason, so then it is obvious. But in ...

12. Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

    Delicate Flower replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do think pay affects my attitude. I am willing to deal with more BS if I know I am being well compensated. That being said, $3-$5 an hour is not enough to tip the scales for me, unless it were part of an ongoing path to higher compensation (climbin...

13. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    Delicate Flower replied to SubSippi's topic in Relations

    Ethics, I agree with you completely. I do not take issue with any other professionals and would not begrudge them their fair compensation. Like you pointed out, the issue is with the systems and how they have evolved. Everything is relative.

14. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

15. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Delicate Flower replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

    Wow, Ruby. I enjoyed reading that. Just like a Harlequin! I don't blame you for losing respect. Do you know for a fact they are sleeping together? I mean, sharing a chair makes it pretty obvious that something is going on... The facts that he is marr...
