I totally agree with Ruby Vee....it also has been my experience that there has been a shift in nursing - to some extent gone are the days where people chose to be a nurse becasue they had a desire to care for patients and were truly there at the beds...

Nurse Smiley and others, my CNO is in the midst of getting that book out to the clinical leadership for us to read. I have read experts and it sounds great!

Great points and it is bas as it sounds...in fact the profession has often joked that nurses eat their young, as if it is a positive thing, a badge of strength and power. I agree that there is a fear component to this behavior and often the nurses th...
apparently, tweety men may not have dress codes in all places. and after reviewing the dress code policy in my own facility it is more geared to women than men without stating genders. they only reason i brought up the past was regarding the post tha...
i never said that wearing undergarments such as red underwear or no underwear at all was appropriate. i was being realistic; any person, male or female that does not follow the established dress code should be made aware per the occurrence. i think ...
now that is mature. my point is that dress-codes must not have gender biases like they have in the past. men do not take kindly to the mandates that women have had to conform to. ~kelrn24
i pray that i am able to do this, and with all the mental energy and physical strengh i have, i will do my best. dixilee, do pray. pray hard and often for strength and energy. let the lord help you. and let others help you; surround yourself with goo...

good point avalonlake. i think it is all a matter of context. certainly a medical issue is quite different than that of a beligerent drunk or mean-spirited person that refuses to be cooperative and abuses the very people that are taking are of them. ...
my daughter was an infant when she was diagnosed with her first brain tumor. by the grace of god she survived a mis-diagnosis and 15 hour surgery, but it was a difficult time filled with difficult decisions; she was not expected to survive. i was new...
chadash makes a good point....and that is why communication is so important. if any staff of any level do not know what the expectation is, then how can they be expected what and what not to say? [color=#483d8b]education and communiation....they go h...
i agree with the posts on this thread. not only are patients' right to privacy with their health information being compromised, but can put patients in a position to be harmed or make poor medical decisions. i too have worked with cnas and techs in t...
hisblueskies, [color=#483d8b]i am also a cns student and live in an area where cnss are not utilized...yet. but anyway, my instructor/school allows us to work with cnss of course but also mds to get as many clinical experiences as we can. i am in my ...
