    Inappropriate nurse support groups

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah social hour is a good way of putting it I suppose. I just don't care about the subjects or the individual stories about everything in life from A-Z. I think its amazing that we have to pay to...

    How to Identify and Respond to Bullying and Incivility

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Damion Jenkins's topic in General Students

    Damion, Hilarious!!! Thanks for making my night. If you are a professor who is instructing your nursing students that they will work in some fantasy where everybody is going to hold hands and sing...

    Turned down PNAP

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to larrn1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, I wish you the best but unless these allegations have no factual basis I think you are in for a rough ride. The BON has nowhere near the same burden of proof as the criminal courts. Good...

    Inappropriate nurse support groups

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I play on my phone in 12 step meetings and the idiotic nurse support group meeting. When forced to attend "group support" or 12 step meetings you have no interest in smartphones are useful to have....

    Easy RN to BSN ?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to oricha1984's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have a friend at work that said it best. He said "can't we just write them a check and have them mail us the piece of paper". The BSN did not make me a better nurse. It was a silly waste of time...

    Staffing Ratios in the ED

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Once again without mandatory and objective staffing limits all this stuff is useless noise. I don't trust a committee of nurses with mixed motives to come up with any sort of sensible answer to...

    How to Identify and Respond to Bullying and Incivility

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Damion Jenkins's topic in General Students

    Jamming the copier? Texting during a presentation??? We have way dumbed down the definition of bullying. Perhaps we should look into another nurse problem that prevents us from being taken...

    Lazy co-workers

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to HealthANDLove1122's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. The culture of laziness is real and you cannot do a darn thing about it. That's the simple truth. What you can do something about is being an excellent provider to your patients. If the sloth...

    Bullied psych nurse commits suicide

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nursing News

    If mean co-workers and bad schedules made nurses kill themselves their would hardly be any nurses left. This sad story goes a heck of a lot deeper than this I

    Questionable Behavior: Reports and Write Ups

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah talk to the offending party first for goodness sake. This tattletale culture and never speaking one on one with a "wrongdoer" has got to end. It makes us look like squabbling, cowardly children....

    Does being an R.N. mean we cannot be human?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to mom35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We are not allowed to be human. In my experience some nurses will go to any length to get another nurse punished and then delight with their like minded pack of wolves in the misery and drama. So...

    Attendance forms

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Mike1256's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No way to audit the signatures. I think that's why the GPS garbage is here now. At least nurses have to drive to the correct location before initials are

    Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah its a dumb and over-reaching, control freak nursey-poo rule that you can't smoke weed if that's your choice. However, its a reality. Some nurses get away with it & some don't. Not worth...
