2. Have you ever felt used before?

   bluenurse replied to Born2BAnurse's topic in General Students

   Great post Caroline!! I completely agree. If it feels bad to give then don't and if you are expecting something in return then you aren't really giving. As others here have pointed out...there are many reasons why she may not have called you back. Yo...

3. Survey: Which of the following factors most negatively influences nurses morale?

   bluenurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   Management can really make or break a work atmosphere. Managers need to take time to really get to know what is going on on the floors and be able to staff well enough and ensure that there is a good team atmosphere at work. I think nurses NEED to wo...

4. Arrests?

   bluenurse replied to bluenurse's topic in General Students

   Alot of DWI's are given to alcoholics but the only reason for that is because they do it more often thus have a higher chance of getting caught.

5. Arrests?

   Larry, thanks for the reply... Todd...LOL to your quote!! I totally know what you mean about cops not always being right. People just kind of take for granted that if you are arrested that means you ARE a criminal. It's like innocent until PROVEN gu...

   Oh my God...FBI checks? That is a little extreme isn't it? I don't think I am wanted by the FBI for anthing LOL. What type of information exactly does the FBI keep on people? Are you saying the FBI has records on EVERYONE of everything that they eve...

7. Arrests?

   bluenurse posted a topic in General Students

   I was reading about the DWI being a possible precluder to taking boards and I am wondering if an arrest is also a precluder and do you have to disclose an arrest/charge if the case was dismissed? I was arrested for DWI and the case was ultimately dis...

   I am so stressed out. I feel like my head is going to explode half the time. Is this normal? I am returning to school for my RN after being out of school for about 5 years. I am taking 16 credits. This alone is stressing me out. But I have to say th...

    Yes, I completely agree. I don't think it prevents anything.

11. Question about med error?

    bluenurse replied to Luvmedicine's topic in General Nursing

    They are supposed to do 3 checks....which includes reading the bottle. I am sure it is a horrible situation for all involved but it is a lame excuse.....it is basic nursing to read the label of something before you give it. They need to step up and a...

    bluenurse replied to bluenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you have a pretty blanket criticism of my post. They never hold up either.

15. Have Nurses Created the Nursing Shortage?

    bluenurse replied to ainz's topic in General Nursing

    I am not at work as some "charity service" or "volunteer". I work to get paid. I work hard and do a good job but I am there for money. I want working conditions improved and instead of actually DOING something about it they buy stupid little morale b...
