Ratched, Nurse

Interviews with multiple people is often a joke. Truly. I understand that multiple people may often be involved as far as needing to know something of the interview or just adding something to the interview and interviewee, but I just feel more often...

@Emergent she isn’t hiding anything from you. She just hasn’t told you about her other job. No more than she hasn’t told you what she’s having for dinner or what she’s wearing to bed. Why WOULD she tell you? If there’s an issue it isn’t her, it’s you...

I don’t think it’s that deep. It’s being pointed out to the OP that her worried about Karen says more about her than Karen. That lead to her bashing Karen somewhat. Let’s not entertain this behavior. There are literally people dying. Who cares how ma...

I get you thinking you’d know as most nurses talk and you believe you and Karen to be friends, but take a step back and stop. You’re so concerned of Karen’s jobs, the fact that you didn’t know about one has made you result to posting online about it....

I'm an LPN and have been for quite a few years now. Understaffed, hectic jobs led me to my most recent job of less than 1 year -nurse at a university's health center. I love the schedule and work, but recently have ran into many issues. Over time as ...

You’re right. Initially when I brought this up, they quickly redid our appraisals and all things that would affect them. They completely skipped over what we as nurses in a health facility need so now we’re still without policies, legit orders and ev...

Your comment means so much, unfortunately. Some of the things are so out of this world crazy, I start to think it’s me that’s crazy. Venting to my husband, I’ll realize how insane it is that our standing orders haven’t been reviewed since ‘92 and tha...

Exactly, thank you. Deep down I know I should probably just go and honestly I've wanted to walk right out several days, but because I actually like what the job could be, I was hoping it would be respected and made appropriate. I'm unable to help stu...

Brian S., Admin - I am trying to message you, but it will not go through!

It's public information, however, I'm not sure what the purpose of looking them up would be. If you are there nurse in the hospital, or whatever facility, you and the patient's MD will be doing their care, not them. And of course many say they are nu...

Student Nurse: "Yeah yeah, got it!"

That moment when you and your coworker find out the meeting is 'mandatory.'

That moment when you all wish you had called in

someone who "knows more than I do" and is calling me to tell me what I need to do for them or their family member.

Ain't nothing to it, but to do it! This is for any day, but especially those days you're tired, overworked and overdue for some downtime.

There's many funny, quirky tips myself and all of us could leave, but that's most important to me is 'stick to what you know.' What you were taught, read, and know to be true. With so many nurses, we all have different techniques and ways about us, b...

Rooming a patient, I was gathering info on reason she was being seen, recent treatment, etc. I don't even remember the issue or symptoms, but do remember her announcing that she was a "nurse." After asking her title, I gathered that she was indeed no...
