1. My coworker was high and got away with it

   guest2314 replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

   You know, you sound like you're young and lack quite a bit of life experience and common sense. You don't go making accusations without definite proof that someone is compromising patient care, acting recklessly, diverting, etc. You can easily ruin a...

2. My coworker was high and got away with it

   guest2314 replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

   I second this. OP did not use a great deal of common sense in this case. Unless I have definite proof that someone is compromising patient care, I say nothing. I prefer to keep my nose out of other people's business otherwise. And believe me, I have ...

3. How would you react? Body odor discussion.

   guest2314 replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

   I would get a job at a union hospital and when my manager says they need to speak to me in such a manner, I would politely tell them not until my union rep is present. Man it is so different at a non-union facility!

4. Best paying travel agency covering housing in 2016?

   guest2314 replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

   Also, I am certain all of the travel nurses there were compensated very well, although I'm sure pay varies with the travel company. Don't live in Mountainview, Fairview, Government Hill, and be cautious of parts of Muldoon, Spenard, and midtown. Go t...

6. Nurses pulling rank on assignments

   guest2314 replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

   I want to move out of Alaska SO bad because of the miserable weather and seclusion, but the one thing I will tell you- Alaskan nurses get paid a decent salary (It's almost three years I've worked as a nurse and I made $76,000 last year. On high censu...

7. Nurses pulling rank on assignments

   guest2314 replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

   Here in Alaska, even if all three hospitals in Anchorage are on divert, all three hospitals will NEVER give a nurse 3 true ICU patients. You will only ever get three patients on the unit if they are borders (awaiting to be transferred to step down, P...

8. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

   guest2314 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   Believe me BrandonLPN, I've never tried to correct my coworkers pronunciations who were from Canada, Ireland, and British commonwealth countries such as Australia and South Africa. They have impeccable grammar and they pronounce many words differentl...

9. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

   guest2314 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   I ABSOLUTELY agree with this post. I live in a city that is a cultural melting pot. I work with people from Russia, different parts of Asia, Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, South America, people from various parts of the USA south, and many people ...
