Since when are animals' lives more important than humans' lives? Ok i like animals and all, but- seriously- the statement of being ok with dissecting a human cadaver but not an animal carcass?? Are u...

this isn't just a case of not liking my job. i guess you didn't read my op. i love my job. and this situation isn't just gossip and office politics, though there is a lot of that, too. the definition...

Thanks for all the input and thank you for sharing your heartfelt stories. It helps to know I'm not alone. There is NOT a job shortage here. There are many, many jobs to be had at this hospital....

Vent and request for advice: There is so much fighting, bickering, backstabbing, rudeness, hatefulness and just plain meanness at my hospital on my tele-medsurg floor that I just can't stand it...

Nope. Managers do not givenurses any kind of backbone and are all too willing to throw the best nurses under the bus. Have seen this too many times.

We just started it at my hospital, and I think it will be better once all the kinks are worked out. But my biggest question is, if the patient(s) are in pain/nausea, whose responsibility is it to...

Y'all have given me the confidence and maybe the ammo I need to confront her, if it comes to that. Thank you.

Thank y'all for your support. Like I said, I am a fairly new nurse (<2years), and this is the only hospital I've ever worked. I've wondered if it's this way everywhere. I know this situation is not...

Because it's either stay here if I want any kind of hospital experience (and I feel I need that because I've been a nurse <2 years) or drive more than 2 hours to another hospital. With two young kids...

So how do you deal with a nurse who is best friends/drinking buddies with the floor manager and screams at you all the time and is always finding ways to humiliate you in front of the nurses' desk?...

Q: What's black, 18 inches long, and hangs in front of an a$$hole? A: A stethoscope on a cardiologist. " Or a surgeon!! especially a vascular surgeon!

OP, I think you and I work at the same place!! LOL.... Politics, the buddy system (manager and charge are best friends/drinking buddies) and cliques are predominant in my hospital. My charge...

While I agree that good organization skills are a must, as I am terrible with organization but have gotten better through trial by fire, I must say that this nurse's anxiety and mental stress is more...

I walked it over there, and they said they wouldn't take it from anyone but the charge. I thought I was being careful, too, but apparently protecting yourself is insuboordination. Don't get me wrong,...

So what's everyone's take on this situation? I had been a new lpn for about a year and had just moved to a peds floor. Two weeks on the floor, and we had students that day. The students brought...

I admire and respect you, greenykilt. You have done what I wish I had the cahoneys to do. In my hospital, it's not really the doctors. It's the nurses. I haven't seen bullying like this since sixth...

I can't say for everyone else here, but it seems that they have the same thoughts as I do: they try all you mentioned above, and then still are abused, with managment rewarding the patient for thier...

I worked as an electrician for a long time before I decided a career change was in order and went to nursing school (and still am in school for my BSN, then NP). Guess my badge could read, ...

I know that this is a bit off the thread here, but the comments I read make me think also about the nurses have been nurses forever (not trying to indicate anyone here at all, just going off of my...

re: Ruby Vee's post: Is there any hospital/med surg ward to work in where there is no calling triangle? Or management support to opt out of the triangle?

You have a break nurse?:eek: Wow. That would be awesome. No matter how crappy she was. I would be grateful I had one. I just have to hope and pray, that while I;m trying not to aspirate on...

This is usually how my day goes on a busy tele medsurg unit. I haven't ever been lectured about OT, but I would love to get out on time. Our problem is that report ALWAYS runs 30-45 minutes late,...

miriamsally, I would be honored and privileged to work with you. If only more people had your attitude.....

Absolutely not. I appreciate your bringing this subject up. On my medsurg unit, every day I encounter a patient or family member who is ENTITLED to anything and EVERYTHING his/her heart desires. ...
