  1. nurse on nurse bullying

    parolang replied to profdocmaher's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've seen bullying and have been the target of bullying, but I agree there is definitely sloppiness in the usage of the term. Bullying should never be defined in terms of people's feelings. Bullying...

  2. Techs vs. RNs in Outpatient Dialysis

    parolang replied to MrsRN86's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    If you are at least trying to help and treating everyone professionally and with dignity, then there is not much more you can do. Probably the worst part about being a PCT is being in this subordinate...

  3. Why all the drama with nursing?

    parolang replied to dogmom2016's topic in General Nursing

    What keeps me where I'm at is that I fear this doesn't exist in health care. But I guess the places that are hiring are the places with a lot of turnover. Where people are happy, people stay where...

  4. Why all the drama with nursing?

    parolang replied to dogmom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you might just want to ride this one out unless this kind of thing is a frequent problem there. What you told the manager makes sense, and the manager's motivation here doesn't add up....

  5. Nurse Bullying

    parolang replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Perspective of a CNA for 3.5 years and now a Dialysis PCT for 2.5 years. I've worked with a lot of nurses. Bullying is very real. I've both been subjected to a lot of it, and have seen it happen to...

  6. How do you deal with nurse cliques/"gangs" bullying?

    parolang replied to Bosmer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One thing you could do is to take notes, or even document when these incidents occur. I don't know if your facility has an official means, but hopefully find a way to do it so that you can use it...

  7. Techs vs. RNs in Outpatient Dialysis

    parolang replied to MrsRN86's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I'm just a PCT, but our facility has been going through this for quite some time, and the FA might be starting to fix it. But the FA needs to figure out who the low performers are. Our FA basically...

  8. Ethics: "Every minute counts..." or not?

    parolang posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Hi. I'm not a nurse. I'm a PCT who has been working at my clinic for over two years and, judging from many of the threads on here, there's quite a bit of experience on here. I just registered this...

  9. Ethics: "Every minute counts..." or not?

    parolang replied to parolang's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I don't think the MD is ever notified if a patient comes off against medical advice. I run to print out the sheet, get it signed, and hand it to the charge nurse. But we have a *lot* of AMA's at our...

  10. Ethics: "Every minute counts..." or not?

    parolang replied to parolang's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thanks for all the feedback. Some things have changed since the first post, and all for the better (I hope). First, the FA added a third shift of patients to the schedule on these days, because we...

  11. How do you deal with nurse cliques/"gangs" bullying?

    parolang replied to Bosmer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi Bosmer: "It has a bad reputation for nasty nurses and a low rating for care by patients families, but I personally had no big problems in my facility until recently." I think the key point here is...

  12. Ethics: "Every minute counts..." or not?

    parolang replied to parolang's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    The charge nurse, in this case, is the clinical coordinator. There might be some kind of conflict here that I don't know. The FA is also an RN, I say this because it sounds like this isn't always the...
