1. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

   bellini replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

   Not an American, so does not apply. Good luck with that, though.

2. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

   bellini replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

   We signed up for this. We signed up to take care of sick, infectious patients. If you feel that is I is "defeatist" to do what you were (presumably) trained and hired to do, maybe you and your "younger ones" would be better off in some other, less...

3. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

   bellini replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

   Thousands upon thousands of people are without a stable income now (think of those who work in businesses that have declared non-essential and small business owners). Nurses at least have a source of income to keep a roof over their heads and food on...

4. Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

   bellini replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, this still exists. With some doctors, you have to be careful to not seem to be making a suggestion or to be voicing an opinion, because if you do you will be slapped down hard. And I say this as a master's prepared RN with two specialty certific...

5. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

   bellini replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Exactly. And why rigorous nursing education and training as knowledge work should be the first line of defense. This task-monkey orientation to nursing practice is the greatest threat to patient safety there is.

   What IS the point, then?

8. When they're SO sure they're right...

   bellini replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, don't find many of the comments as "with" laughing. I find many of the comments to be of the "look at what this moron did!!" variety.

9. When they're SO sure they're right...

   bellini replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Agree. This is mean-spirited and self-righteous. I will wager that every one of us can identify something bone-headed that we have done at some time in our careers. That said, if licensed nurses are doing things that are so dangerous,life-threatenin...

10. "I am a nurse!"

    bellini replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Hilarious. We had a patient's family member say "I know as much as the doctors" because he had been at the bedside every afternoon for a couple of weeks. He had been able to be at the bedside because he was basically unemployable and had no family of...

12. Staff Retention Policies

    bellini replied to Positive_Outlook's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I were a Nursing Sister of Yore; i.e. a nun. Then I might be able to deliver this. \

13. Staff Retention Policies

    bellini replied to Positive_Outlook's topic in General Nursing

    This just not exist anymore.
