  2. Toxic Work Environment

    Have Nurse replied to dinah77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a person or two I can name that are like that where I work. But, over time, they "softened", when they knew I could be trusted and only treated them with quiet kindness. Sometimes I brought...

  3. Called off too many times?

    Have Nurse replied to MS0298's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If your doctor determines that you have a genuine disability and writes a note, your employer may accommodate that, but they may also dismiss you. It's a tough call. You might consider a nursing job...

  4. Help me out here....

    Have Nurse replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    Well, most docs here just do a T.B. QuanteFeron Gold blood test and a chest X-ray to determine the course of action. (Whether or not to treat.) Is this fellow in a reverse air-flow room? If you...

    This equipment looks similar to what the military use to use during the Korean war. Atriums are what I am use to seeing

  6. The blurred line, patients, social media, and safety

    Have Nurse replied to Maggie Ann's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I must respectfully disagree with this. Ethics and Boundaries are taught as part of our requirement for holding a license. She has an obligation to use good judgment and protect her license. You...

  10. Leaving because of coworker?

    Have Nurse replied to baRN owl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Cut to the chase. Speak with H.R. about it and share with them what you've shared with us. Document it. If she tries anything, go straight to H.R. If it doesn't quit, call the Police. The fact...

  11. Float staff having a hard time

    Have Nurse replied to nursiee's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Play nice now. Yes, it is frustrating when the Float Nurses come and they aren't properly trained. But speaking as a former Float for Med Surg, rather than criticize this nurse, the fault...

  12. New nurse staying way past 9:30 pm on day shift

    Have Nurse replied to connecticut23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have Nurse replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Yes. Me? Personally, I would much rather have a nurse of a different race if that nurse has more experience in handling my particular needs, than a nurse of my own color who isn't. We are all the...

    Have Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I don't know in what state you live, but in Minnesota, an employer is required to only share dates of employment and salaries, they aren't allowed to share anything else for just the reasons you...

    Have Nurse replied to nontoxic's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You absolutely did NOT over react. And good for you! So what if they figure out it was you. If there are any repercussions, have an attorney waiting in the wings.....they love to go after the big...

  23. Normal Working Conditions for Hospice RN Case Managers?

    Have Nurse replied to nuncle265's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I no longer do Case Management. It might be wise to sit down with your nurse manager and share your concerns. If they can't reduce your case load or at least keep you in a certain...
