If that's a joke I don't get it.:angryfire If it's not- that kind of attitude is exactly why I would NOT pray with a pt. I'd call the chaplin, provide the "referal of service" just like a ss...

Every ER is run in their own special way, but here is what I did as a tech- Phlebotomy-blood draws unless they needed an iv. Knowledge of what tube for what will be needed....i.e. lavender for...

We have a few nurses who nod off on nights in the unit. My view is, if you're on your un-paid break, leave the floor and do as you please. What I have a problem with is those who sit and fall asleep...

I wonder if she perhaps sensed what seems to be your unprofessional attitude and was protecting her patients. Could the mother have been asked in a bad moment, or not understood who was seeking...

We are getting a new unit (ICU) and the first complaint was that the proposed nurses station was to small, and that we couldn't see the pt's. Mngmnt's response? You should be in the pt's room's, not...

I'm not doubting anyone, but I was advised by a doctor that I work with, that some people have "reactions" to certain things, and that they are not "true" allergies. Any idea's? I have also heard the...

My favorite is the wet hair tale. I worked in an ER filled with well educated nurses and dr's, and still everytime I walked into work with wet hair from my shower, I would hear the dreaded " You'll...
