  3. Irony regarding cellphone use at work

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't clock out for breaks lunches. Pretty sure returning a quick text a couple of times a shift is no where near 30 minutes. So no, I'll check my

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pt on vent, nonresponsive. Very sick. Not over breathing the vent on no sedation. Old as dirt. Of course, full code. Family in denial. Family: I don't think she's that sick. You should turn the vent...

  7. Why do patients.....?

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to ArrowRN's topic in Nursing Humor

  8. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    When I took care of my mom, HH only was covered by insurance for rehabilitation. It was for short term only. It did not cover HH for daily cares. It's was skilled nursing or

  9. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Patho and critical thinking are required in our job. But not at the expense of not learning basic nursing skill and using them in school. This is why staff nurses are putting their feet down and...

  10. Clinical vs hospital RN

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to Rhinelander00's topic in General Nursing

    Any place that promotes a nurse to charge after only 6 months of experience in the hospital and a year of LTC has poor judgement. That should be clue number one for you to get

  11. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    Your problem sounds more like a husband problem than a work problem. He sounds like the "if I act stupid, I just won't have to do it" type. Which with me, would end in about a week or the marriage...

  12. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    As night shift, if I had 8hr shifts, I wouldn't like my job. My husband works days. When I work, I don't see him for days. If I worked 8s, I'd see him once a week. No

  13. Nurses with children always go home early?

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    I love all the people saying if the job doesn't meet OP's needs and wants to just leave. The same could be said to the ones saying moms need special priority. If MOM's job doesn't meet MOM's needs as...

  14. Is Medical Assistant school difficult?

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to Venusx30's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You might have better luck asking on an MA forum than here. Most of us did nursing school, not MA school. Most can't really answer this

  15. Coworker wanted to trade shifts

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    I remember several coworkers at different jobs telling me I should have to work holidays and they should get them off because they had children and I don't. Uh, no. That's not how it

  16. My husband wakes me up!

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to BabyRN_nights's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get this. I don't understand how someone who cares about you would need to be told this. My husband would tackle and duct tape someone who tried to come in the room while I'm sleeping lol....

  17. Psych nurses being forced to float to med surg and tele?

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to lovetosleep's topic in Psychiatric

    So then all other units should never float into psych, right? So you'll have to make due and work short

  18. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    Coloradonurse1983 replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    That's manageable for some people. It's not for mine. My husband is is active duty army. He doesn't get to pick his schedule. He leaves for weeks at a time and will deploy for 9 months coming up. We...
