  1. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

    OH DEAR LORD. This has absolutely nothing personally to do with the surgeon! We work with probably 30 or more surgeons throughout the week. I on my honor do solemnly swear that I have nothing against this surgeon. In fact, they are one of the "ea...
  2. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

    I loathe that expression, "put on your big girl panties". I came here asking for help, not looking to be derided. That is not helpful, only rude. I am a grown women with a husband, two grown children, and elderly parents, and you are telling me to...
  3. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

    Well, this doctor was knowingly in the OR with some sort of virus/bacterial infection and performing surgery. If we, as nurses, came to work that way (fever, diarrhea, vomiting), we would be sent home, not "treated" then sent into the OR. So, to me...
  4. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

    Do I report this? Recently a doctor at an elective surgery facility came to work ill. This doctor had a fever, diarrhea, diaphoretic, asked an anesthesiologist to start an iv, fluids and medicines too stop nausea and vomiting. This doctor had patie...
  5. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    Nursing became a second career for me. As an over 40 adult who had worked in other professional environments, I was appalled at the juvenile behavior and backbiting once I graduated and worked on the floor. The work itself is backbreaking; the leve...
  6. Welcome To The Hospital - From Your Nurse

    What about "what is your pain level right now in the affected area on the 0-10 scale?" Then you get an extended version of not only the pain in the affected area since it's inception, but what is is in any different scenario.
  7. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    Personally, I have never liked "The View" and their political leanings, but, again, that's my own business. As far as the few comments they made regarding the Miss America nurse; who cares? Was it unkind and ignorant? Yes. I feel that these days ...
  8. Part-time?

    I was hired par-time on my unit. Frequently I am asked to work more days than my required part-time hours. Am I obligated to pick up more hours? My hiring contract states 40 hours in a two week period. I get a lot of pressure from my supervisor, ...
  9. Is it age, or is it overwhelming to be a nurse?

    The drama/rude behavior of some other nurses upset me at times too. In my mid-40's, it felt like being back in middle school. I want to go to work, work together, and get the job done. Help out if I can. The eye-rolling, cliques, gossip. I can i...
  10. I became an RN three years ago at age 44. Let me start out by saying that I am proud of my accomplishment and proud for any person who survives and graduates from nursing school. Most people have no idea how challenging nursing school is or what th...
  11. PACU pain medication

    I am a new PACU nurse in an ambulatory center (I have been a floor nurse for three years). Even though up to 2 mgs dilaudid (0.5 mg every ten minutes) may be ordered for pain control, patients seem to a) sometimes not respond well, i.e., still have ...
