    Profanity in the workplace

    If cussing and foul language offend you, don't come to my unit, we'll make your ears bleed. As if Quitin Tarantino made a film about Nurses.

    Terrified...is this normal?

    I finished school in Feb. I'm in my 40's, divorced, I have two degrees in addition to my nursing degree, and in a bajillion dollars of debt because of said education. Yet, I go through the day with a smile. You need to get a grip on yourself.

    Would you call in sick?

    I generally call out four days a week, but always dumbfounded when they respond with, "It's...your...day...off! Stop calling!" I'm just trying to be professional and let them know I won't be in that day!

    Is Giving 2 Weeks Notice Ancient Practice?

    I usually peel out donoughts in the parking lot with a middle finger in the air. Then, I'm told to get back inside, by the charge nurse because my lunch break is over.

    Leaving at 6 months in?

    This....a thousand times over. Until a place I work at shows some loyalty, I don't care if you leave at six months or six years. The first ER I worked in was poorly run/managed I left after seven months for another ER position, where I stayed for a...

    New Grad wanting a Specialty Switch

    All the hospitals I've worked at have a policy of a minimum of six months (from start date) before you are able to put in for a transfer request.

    Shift Report: Listening, no writing...

    I use to write things down, but quit doing it. Everything that is said is in the patient summary of our EMR. I come in early, see which patients I have, read the summary, MAR, and notes. I use the handoff to ask questions based off of what I've re...

    Blood specimen from iv sites.

    AAAAAAH! The amount of rage I have for this topic! Sorry, not yelling at you, just the whole, "You can't draw from an IV". Though, it is perfectly fine to pull from a PICC or Mid? I've worked in an Hospital setting for six years, not once has a b...

    Aggressive family member

    What difference does it make? She had a needle in the kid, when the Dad grabbed her...with a needle in the kid. Quite frankly, when I worked in the ER, I hated peds, not because of the kids but because of the parents. I had some I threw out into th...

    Gloves? Is this acceptable?

    Am I putting my hand in the patient's mouth? I mean I don't, but if I'm suppose to be, I am F'in this job up hard!
