Your story sounds completely fabricated.

Even nurses with twenty five years can be very bad. And based on what you said, it sounds like you may not be compatible with a student.

Students always help my floor out by performing baths and toileting patients. I am always happy when they are scheduled to come. If you find that your workload is overburdened by the presence...

No sitting? Is this some sort of a joke? You're supposed to stand for 8 hours without a break? They can sit all they want. Unlike for you, I'm sure their knees will be thanking them fifty years...

Not conflicted at all. See ya's.

It's quite common to not bother drawing a curtain if its very late at night and the visitors are basically all gone and the patient is somewhat confused, depending on the culture of the workplace. ...

Maybe he knows her well in that she will refuse anyone who walks in. Maybe the other nurses had their fill of this patient and decided that it was his turn to take her. You're making assumptions...

Are you *positive* that this patient was not confused or had a history of being resistive to care? You said she wasn't fully aware of what was going on. That means her judgment is impaired. One...

Unless that nurse becomes your mother's nurse and starts providing poor care, you have no business telling his manager about what you've seen him do with a different patient who has nothing to do...

My advice throughout the thread has been sound, and it really doesn't apply to me as this subject predominantly concerns women, not men. I care little about who gets hired as long as they are...

Even if it the industry were biased toward the young and beautiful, is that such a bad thing? It works this way in all walks of life. Getting bent out of shape over some people being prettier than...

I misread it as the student being a hired new grad. However, I still believe the OP is in the wrong. For one thing, she is not a member of this student's nursing program. She has no business...

I would feel sorry if the OP did not bring this on herself. I hope in the future she will be more respectful when speaking to her colleagues.

Hi. I am actually not a new grad. Thank you for your misguided insight.

Your statement was rude and condescending. How would you like it one of your coworkers said that to you? You should have phrased it as so: "I have found that it is always a good idea to check the...

Yes, I am a licensed, working RN in an acute care setting. I think that reporting this is folly.

Then just drop it and look the other way. Rural hospitals don't have the resources that a lot of other hospitals have, and those resources might be the luxuries that these thread posters have and...

I say leave it alone. It sounds like this is the culture of the workplace. Let the nurse and the doctor work it out between themselves, without interfering in their relationship. Nurses fill out...

I'm not sure if there is anyone in this thread looking for your approval, even if it were meaningful.

Aging is not an accomplishment of some sort, susie, nor does it impress anyone. It's something everybody goes through, even the morons. You don't get points just for being old, sorry.

Commuter, try to follow what's going on. That was my point. All I did was take your thread title and insert opposite adjectives to the stereotypical ones that your title included. If it's wrong in...

What are your basing your perception on?

I think your link is broken. Try this one: http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/entry/sutter-vallejo-hospital-ordered-to-stand-labor-board-trial This healthcare organization sounds...

Very true. Just reverse the adjectives in the title of this silly thread: "Old, fat, and Ugly New Hires" and just watch the outrage explode from the nurses who identify with that. I think that...

This is only an issue due to fear of losing part of the market share on same day surgeries. Hospitals probably won't shrink any time soon; rather, they are just going to comprise a smaller part of...
