  1. Do you accept tips?

    Good heavens, NO!! Altho I have a couple of special Christmas ornaments that were given to me by patients - and food is always appreciated!:)
  2. I think I crossed the line

    Ah, beachbum! Bless your heart! Just reading your post makes me SO glad I'm retired and away from all that! Yes, the techs need to communicate with you! You are rightly annoyed! Altho you'll come to depend on the good ones.:) You need to find out...
  3. I finally did it!!!!!!!

    Gosh, it seems like forever since I went thru all that. Good luck, and congratulations.:yeah:
  4. grrrr

    Chart, chart, chart - exactly what they said, what you said, and how they responded!!
  5. Entire ER crew will go to mandatory retreat

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!:):) It seems to me that it's like 'adults' deciding what's best for the 'children'! I consider a job, my 'work', not my 'life'. When I'm done, I'm outa there - my free time should be just that. For the most part I n...
  6. Anybody else work with a "super nurse?"

    I know what you mean!! :chuckle I've worked with some women I wished I could clone and pull out of my pocket during frantic or doubtful times. This one gal especially, always knew exactly what to do in ANY emergency, and she knew the best and quickes...

  8. Americans With Disabilities Act

    Exactly! I found everything I needed. I even discovered things I would never thought the hospital had. The problem is the lack of staffs' knowledge about where everything is located. It's a bit off the topic, but I found a bladder scanner at one ...
  9. Americans With Disabilities Act

    I wouldn't think so, but who knows?
  10. Co-workers who think out loud at the nursing station

    It IS maddening!! I used to work with two of them at noc that used to talk to themselves and I had to learn to tune them out or go nuts. Then when they'd try to talk to me - and I wouldn't answer them, cause I was tuning them out.........
  11. Americans With Disabilities Act

    Olli - that's very nice of you, but what you aren't getting is that unless I'm being admitted during some emergency, I should already have those things available and should bring them with me. The hospital should have things available for the commene...
  12. Wouldn't that be considered abandonment?? Call social services!!
  13. Americans With Disabilities Act

    Olli - I am also now disabiled, and covered under the ADA. I would ideally need special weighted silverware, and special weights around my hands for when I eat. Also a special cup for when I drink hot liquids - do you have those immediately availab...
  14. I would guess that you don't completely understand addiction then.
  15. And do you simply TELL THEM that you flunked those classes in nursing school, then go about your business? If they 'complained' to me I would.
