    Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

    Hoosier_RN replied to hazyblue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have the same problem. Some days it works in my favor, other days not. Just tell the recipient of the message that you're sorry for being harsh and public, but you still feel the message was valid...

    Would you "adopt" a nurse or allow yourself to be "adopted" (For Nurses' Week)?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Sour Lemon's topic in General Nursing

    This makes me sick. It will make the general public believe that all of us are only out for what we can get. I'm sure like any other occupation, that there are folks in our midst who are. But most...

    Nurse performs a nursing action off the clock. What are the repercussions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1110906's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having popcorn, and brought my own hot cocoa. Some of us have worked pdn and totally understand. No, the other nurse shouldn't be there off the clock, and that should be reported. Company may be...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Butterflygrl38's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not 10 and more at the same time, with multiple drips, without assist, PPE, etc. ER and ICU are a whole different ballgame than HH and PDN. I've done all of the above. Not all HH and PDN nurses have...
