  1. What do I do? (long)

    Sounds to me as though this nurse needs to be doing her own documenting in regards to others who are breaking the same rule. To target this one nurse is fishy and if others are breaking the rule and not being disciplined it looks as though mgmnt. wi...
  2. Here I am-another night wide awake at 2am while everyone else in my house sleeps.My second night in a row off and I still cannot sleep when everyone else does. Did not sleep today so I could sleep tonight. Not working. So here is what I am thinkin...

  8. central MS medical center

    I have not worked there, but did part of my clinicals there. I know nurses that have worked there recently and from what they have said the post above was right on the money-GOOD LUCK!!!
  9. I have been a nurse for almost one year, so I don't know how dependable my advice will be to you. I have done some cross training in ICU over the last 6 months. I am generally on a med/surg floor. I knew after day one that I was not ready for ICU....

  11. Did I Make a Big Mistake?

    Life is way to short to be miserable!! It sounds as if your marriage is very important to you, so treat it that way. Find another job. As for the previous post about the extra money you make working nights-so what. Money helps, but it does not ma...

  13. Increase in I&D's in the South?

    I posted this on another thread, but had 23yo friend (RN) that died of what was said to be community acquired MRSA that invaded his lung tissue. Very scary!! We see this all the time on med-surg and it is about 1/2 post-op patients & 1/2 "spi...
