   Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

   jmll1765 replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, what TheCommuter said! So many of my fellow nurses are leaving bedside because it is increasingly becoming about customer service and patient satisfaction scores, not about saving lives....

   If we make BSN the entry level degree, we should be paid more

   jmll1765 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   I believe experience is the great equalizer...I've worked along side LPNs who are more knowledgeable and competent than any RN simply because they have years of experience. Critical thinking skills...

   Canceled up to 3-4 times a WEEK. What do?!

   jmll1765 replied to murseBSN's topic in General Nursing

   That stinks! Sorry you have to go through that OP. We get called off on a rotating basis with anyone having overtime getting called off first followed by PRN staff and then the regular full time...

   Taking away chairs from nursing station

   jmll1765 replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   What part of NURSE'S station do these people not get?! The NURSE'S station is for the NURSES to use for the 5 minutes they might be able to sit down and chart or use the phone. Don't these people have...

   ER nurses not calling report anymore...

   jmll1765 replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   Wow, this has kinda turned into an ER vs Med-Surg thread! I'd like to add my two cents. Anytime there is a change in procedure there is usually a period of dissent among the staff before it's finally...

   What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

   jmll1765 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

   I work 3 on 2 off 2 on 3 off 1 on 3 off. I would love to work the same 3 days every week and then have more days off in a row. I have never worked 8 hr shifts but I don't think I would like them, I...

   Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

   jmll1765 replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

   I have never worked 8's but the thought of being at work 5 days a week makes me slightly ill. I work three 12's a week and even that makes me ponder the need to be medicated! I've often thought that...

   Zombie day off

   jmll1765 replied to chopwood carrywater's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. I work nights and after I work a 3 day weekend, 2 days off just aren't enough! One day is spent sleeping and recovering and the other is spent in a blur trying to clean, run errands, do...

   jmll1765 replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Sounds like you interviewed at my facility. We even had to wear these huge pins that said WOW on them. I don't know about wowing my patients but my computer is pretty darn impressed with me...spend...

    jmll1765 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Med-surg or wound care. I work in med-surg and we see some doozies! Dressing changes that take an hour and leave you soaked in sweat..all shapes and sizes. We had one gentleman that had a pressure...

    HIPAA question...

    jmll1765 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree with Esme on this...don't post anything about work. It's just safer that way. Our CNO wanted to make a rule that said we couldn't post anything about work on Facebook, it never passed. My boss...

    question about nurses on methadone

    jmll1765 replied to Ntheboat2's topic in General Nursing

    The patient is prescribed methadone...nothing to report. And yes, I believe it would be a HIPAA violation to report it. I seem to recall giving methadone to an elderly patient that had chronic pain...
