If I take a Vicodin, my pain is well controlled, I can smile and think straight. I don't get dizzy or fuzzy but that's just me. Right now my pain is controlled on Tramadol and Mobic, but this will...

I'm so sorry. I would love to see this challenged in the courts through ADA. I don t think the BNE can make laws against federal laws, and it seems to me this has been done here. If a nurse is not...

So have I. But I don't see any reason WHY politics must show up when the topic isn't politics. Leave politics in current events I say.

I understand what you are trying to say, but IMO the situation nurses are in, in many cases, is not 'masterable'...that is what causes the burnout for the experienced nurse. Perhaps your point holds...

I was involved in this type situation as a student nurse. The baby had multiple deformities incompatible with life, including all its GI system outside the body in a sac (as well as a huge...

How terrible...that poor nurse...anyone know how she is doing? :(

I have a novel idea...why not simply discuss an issue or two on this BB without drawing in partisan politics and bashing? Do ya think we are capable of that? Of course if we did, we might...

If this question is asked of many docs, the answer would likely be 'no', but like Canoehead said...that's what NP's do and why they went to school so long to do it. :)

Yup me too...:rolleyes:

Offer to float if needed to ICU..that's how I did it. In a pinch ICU is glad to have an ER nurse to help them out. If it works out ask to crosstrain. :) Oh and welcome to Allnurses. :wavey:

Today's hospital nurses are continually having to do more with less. When my hubby was in the hospital, I didn't want to leave his side either. I know too well what the nurses are dealing with, and I...

The rate of pay changes per facility and by locality. I worked ICU and only did 12 hr shifts. The ICU shifts I accepted paid 38 hr..but this was in Dallas Fort Worth Texas. Some agencies paid better,...

I worked for Maxim and found them a decent agency in general. They charged less than bigger agencies, so I usually got work. As with all agencies, the recruitor makes or breaks the experience. Some...

I know supervision is hard, Daytonite. as I did that a short time myself. BUt as supervisors, we need to put ourselves in the position of the staff nurse, and be very aware of what we expect and...

Yup...sad isn't it....all they care about is that we do what makes them happy and gets them 'their way'.:stone

Hugs to you P-RN...I understand your frustrations and have watched as my coworkers were treated the way you describe. I'm glad you won SSD...I may be there in time myself. :)

I don't recall any stupid reasons my classmates got booted out...but we had strict pretests and background checks. The students who left the program did so voluntarily in my class. Since I've...

Thanks for sharing Daytonite...we could have a whole forum here just 'comparing our scars' couldn't we...LOL!! I hear ya loud and clear regarding the desk job ...after we've been injured several...

Yes I told her neither the patient nor the family needs to see this tension between us, so please can the petty critiques every shift change...LOL!! Not that it really matters, but this is a LPN...

I'm already upsetting the applecart at this place...when I informed the agency of my discomfort and my concerns, they asked if they could call me back, they wanted to hear more and and they were...

Thanks for validating my concern! Part of me thought 'Mind your own business.. perhaps this was a deal between 2 private citizens..and who is it harming? ' Then I thought of professional ethics and...

Thank you for replying Nickle... and I'm glad I'm not the only one concerned about this....:(

There's usually one or two every season, according to the veteran flu clinic nurses I oriented with. The most severe, of course, are anaphylactic. (sweating, dizziness/syncope, SOB, feeling of...

Yup...Visiting Nurse Association...you got it! :) they do a half day orientation through VNA. They also give you the opportunity to work in other public health-type health fairs, etc if you want to....
