   I like the idea of a behavior contract! This patient was def in need of one. I havent heard of not calling codes overhead, I dont think the alternative of pagers is a good idea for the reason you have listed.

3. Verbally Abusing a Nurse

   Hk30 replied to Hk30's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with most of what you said. However I do not feel like I have to be validated for a patient being "put in thier place". I do want staffs safety concerns validated by putting policies in place to keep patients accountable for thier actions and...

   Especially when you are no longer in need of monitoring and we have people in the ER who are. That's an idea to ask for a written pt responsibilities list! That's awesome and I am going to suggest this if our administration.

   Anytime a patient is being out of line verbally abusing staff or calling staff names getting rowdy yelling and threatening you in the hospital you absolutely should call security for everyone's safety patient and staff. The fact that noone has talked...

9. RN's are you happy with your career, why or why not?

   Hk30 replied to anjoku13's topic in General Nursing

   I love being a nurse and healing people making connections ect, but hate the abuse that we endure and are expected to put up with. The hospital rarely has your back and is BS.

    Hk30 posted a topic in General Nursing

    It drives me crazy when Administration basically tells patients it's ok to abuse your nurse. People come in totally alert and oriented demanding things we cant give , yell, scream, call you names. Then when you call security because they refuse to be...

11. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    Hk30 replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    Dont be ridiculous nursing isn't about if you are attractive or not. It's about your heart and how much you care. Patients remember how you made them feel they could care less if you are ugly or cute. Being a nurse is about intelligence, being confid...
