  1. Charge nurse hates me? and overall nasty attitude of coworkers

    Shes a passive aggressive bully. I dealt with one and I left. Please research bullying in nursing, there are so many articles on it. I would look for a different unit to work on, I left the first one I was on and I am soooo happy I did because all of...
  2. At a crossroads, need advice

    P.S. What nurses get paid is far from fair for the work and the bs we put up with.
  3. At a crossroads, need advice

    Do the lab then. If it is hard for you to relay empathy, it is going to be very , VERY difficult to feel empathy for pts that are literally driving you crazy and you will lose your patience. Many pts are non-compliant, drug seekers,and just plain rud...
  4. Shabbat issues

    It's a pretty wide known fact that nurses work holidays and weekends, maybe you shouldve considered that before you went into the profession...hospitals dont care about you celebrating whatever they need to be staffed. Sorry if thats rude, blunt, wha...
  5. Would you hold Metformin fot a BS level of 149

    Actually, it is the nurse to patient ratio rather than the experience and knowledge of the nurses that affects pt safety more.
  6. Hospital staff/no weekends/holidays

  7. When Giving Report Please....

    I am a Med/Surg nurse , so when I receive report from ICU nurses there is a difference in the style in which they give report, for example, they hit on each system and what their assessment was starting with neuro, cardiac etc. and they always tell m...
  8. passive aggressive nurses

    I think it is hostile of the on-coming nurse to keep you in a room to assess a pt beyond checking their safety, IV, and ID because it is saying, "I dont trust you", it is saying " oh, you're not leaving just yet, I have to find some more work for you...
  9. passive aggressive nurses

    Well, when the ED calls us at 5 with report on a new pt and the pt doesnt hit our floor until 6:45, it sure seems like they held onto them as long as they could. And it does happen all the time. I would ask that the nurse please do a quick safety che...
  10. Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

    There's bullies too. I think nurses are more abused by their patients than by anyone else and it is not right either. I am verbally abused every shift. I have been physically assaulted a few times. I dont know if it's my floor or what, but I am start...
  11. Defensive/CYA charting

    I document on fall risk scores as required, when pts leave the floor and when they return, because you never know what can happen when they are not on the floor, and sometimes the dr hasnt allowed them to leave but they choose to do so anyways, ie wh...
  12. Chemical restraint and lazy nurses

    I think that since you work PRN and you do not have to deal with this pt on a daily basis, you should really reserve judgment and not call your coworkers lazy. I would look into whether or not this over-sedation is new or not, since you just noticed ...

  14. Too quiet to be a nurse?

    One time I was doing a female catheter validation in front of an instructor and I was very nervous, she rudely pointed out that my face was flushed and said " it's getting redder by the second!" I think some people are just purposely evil. I am a shy...
  15. Priority: Hepatic vs Renal

    I would say output of 23 ml in an hour would be priority over hepatic issue if this is a deviation from baseline. When output is this low perfusion is compromised and this leads to shock and death. If they are chronic renal failure than not priority....
