   maizey replied to wv_nurse 2003's topic in General Nursing

   Ditto from me. Think I will just keep my liver if that's how it's going to be. I will have to look into this closely and see what they are deciding to do. Thanks for the laugh RNAnne:roll

4. Faking It

   maizey replied to l.rae's topic in General Nursing

   Years ago, when I was new to the ER in our little community hospital, a patient came in via husbands truck having a "full blown granmal seizure". Took four nurses to get her out of the truck and when we laid her on the gurney she kicked me in the ch...

5. Nurses rat on nurses

   maizey replied to rscarlatti's topic in General Nursing

   HazeK. Right on post. That's what we should all be doing and not doing as patient advocates. If the patient's safety if effected than the nurse must be a tattletale. Do you really have a door marked for MD use only? What's that all about.

7. Good article on nursing shortage

   maizey replied to MrsK1223's topic in General Nursing

   What an excellent article. It's what's happening out there and about time the public is made aware of the fact that in many instances they or their loved ones may not be safe in a hospital where one would expect to be very safe and well cared for.

9. Does anyone ever regret going into the nursing profession?

   maizey replied to ShelleyERgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on taking the step by applying and good luck. I hope, if this is the job for you, that you get it. Relax for the interview. You've been nursing for 10 years, you will do fine.

11. Michigan Nurses Strike 286 strong: Day 81---fighting fire with fire

    maizey replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

    Shame, shame on the nurses in that hospital that are not backing their fellow nurses. It is bad enough that they hire nurses from a group specifially working as scabs but for nurses from that very hospital to spit in the face of their fellow nurses ...

12. Survey: Do you believe the nursing shortage is contributing to medication errors?

    maizey replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt about it. If you are rushing to get everything done with less help you are bound to make errors.

13. Shortage?! HAH! Some RNs don't act like there is a shortage!!

    maizey replied to ANEWBYRN's topic in Relations

    Being busy is no excuse to be rude to nursing students. I love having the nursing students around because it reminds me of how excited I was as a student and helps me remember why I went into this profession in the first place.

14. NJ CEO salaries obscene???

    maizey replied to lee1's topic in Activism

    No money in health care to give nurses raises, or to have the equipment that we need to take care of our patients but money to pay these kinds of wages to CEO's and the severence pay of 5 million. Who cares if they got fired with a severence package...
