   When You Realize You Are Replaceable

   Buddy Christ replied to Guest1189140's topic in Career Support

   You said it yourself, your job includes unpredictable things and being replaceable. The truth is you were always replaceable, always expendable to an employer seeking to find better/cheaper employees. Even with a chronic nursing shortage, employers a...

   Giving 2000ml/hr Fluids

   Buddy Christ replied to Nikki Smith's topic in Safety

   Pumping someone full of two liters an hour just sounds like a relatively extreme situation, though I'm sure this is common. At the *** where I work this is unheard of; we run the pumps to max if someone really needs a bolus, which is usually 999ml/hr...

   Non compliance?

   Buddy Christ replied to ComeTogether's topic in Education

   Don't know why a nurse would try to be these patients' mothers. Grown adults have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies, and we are essentially just doing damage control and keeping them alive during their brief hospital stay (long-ter...

   I was slapped by a patient

   Buddy Christ replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

   Why did he do that? "Not being himself" isn't really motivation for assault. Sorry if this was already answered previously in the thread, I didn't see any answers to this
