1. So dietitians can now write orders: Denial of rights.

   yesterday replied to puravidaLV's topic in Relations

   I love, love, love this response! It really made me laugh! I hardly ever post any more due to concern about being recognized, so I do appreciate the OP's attempts at writing in garbled code to elicit feedback.

2. I want to SCREAM, no job yet!!

   yesterday replied to Charmslpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi Charms, You have my empathy!! I applied actively for at least 8 months to more than 60 positions! I had to enroll back in school just to be competitive here. Depending on your area, the market is really rough! I couldn't move either...

3. Is this a common attendace policy?

   yesterday replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

   If I were in this situation, it would take every ounce of strength in my body not to resign, effective immediately, and write the following letter to the manager: "Dear Satan Incarnate, In light of your response after the death of my son, having me...

4. How to deal with angry doctors

   yesterday replied to ann915's topic in New Nurse

   Maybe I am alone here, but I simply could not say "please" to someone who had just treated me like a piece of garbage. And quite honestly, it surprises me that some posters here have minimized his ridiculous behavior, stating the reason that nurses ...

5. RN Assaulted by MD

   yesterday replied to Lulu2RN's topic in Activism

   Wow, this is horrible and makes me sad, as does the OP's statement of the hospital backing the physician. "Create a hostile environment" for her? Yeah, looks like their assessment is a little too late. Just imagine if the persons involved were rev...

6. Supplemental staff/Per diemRNs --how often are you offered work?

7. To leave or not to leave?

   yesterday replied to FutureResearchRN's topic in Job Hunt

   I would wait the full year as well. I've been in the same situation, I didn't wait and in hindsight wish I had...because the market in my area is really rough! But, at the same time, unlike you, I didn't have another job lined up. Based on anothe...

8. How to deal with angry doctors

   yesterday replied to ann915's topic in New Nurse

   I see your point. It may be a useful tactic, I just personally can't bring myself to say it. I prefer, "wake up and don't be an *******". Just kidding.

9. How to deal with angry doctors

   yesterday replied to ann915's topic in New Nurse

   See? It irritates me that the idea of my calling the doctor is "bothering" them. I have overhead other nurses apologize for "bothering" the doctor when they call them, but I just don't get that. The patient is their responsibility too. I'm bother...

10. Oh oh, the patient is a nurse

    yesterday replied to Brian's topic in Rock

    During labor, I couldn't stop watching the fetal monitor to the degree where at some point my OB was on the phone politely telling me to stop watching the monitor! Also, when I first was admitted the nurse that started my IV placed it in my wrist ar...

11. Supplemental staff/Per diemRNs --how often are you offered work?

    yesterday replied to yesterday's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, RNperdiem, In your situation, you are self scheduling where holes are in the schedule then...if you don't mind elaborating, how many shifts are available per week? (I realize this is your work place not mine) Also, did you mean you are re...

15. Supplemental staff/Per diemRNs --how often are you offered work?

    yesterday posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering for nurses out there who have "supplemental" hospital positions with no guaranteed hours, how often are you contacted to pick up shifts? I have a supplemental offer and just not sure what to expect. Any feedback appreciated.
