    I have a huge problem with this... opinions please

    SharonH, RN replied to dawn30's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you might come back and qualify that. Of course if the gentleman had advanced dementia you wouldn't call the police but it certainly doesn't sound like the person in this case had advanced...

    I have a huge problem with this... opinions please

    SharonH, RN replied to dawn30's topic in General Nursing

    What I am reading here is extremely disturbing. Just because you were willing to take a punch and let bygones be bygones does not mean that a nurse in a similar situation has a "problem" or "major...

    I have a huge problem with this... opinions please

    SharonH, RN replied to dawn30's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I have a huge problem with this also: you walked in on the middle of a situation-no- you walked in after the alleged incident occurred and immediately took one side. In order to assault...

    Hospital Workers Suspended for Peeking at George Clooney's Medical Info

    SharonH, RN replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with those who state that IF the people involved did indeed access Mr. Clooney's records inappropiately, then they should have fired and not just suspended. I think it was very generous of Mr....

    I must be getting old: A rant

    SharonH, RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just got off the elevator with yet another person cracking their gum, mouth wide open. It wouldn't have been so bad except she was nicely dressed in a suit, and her hair was neatly done....

    I must be getting old: A rant

    SharonH, RN replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    MTV started to go downhill with "The Real World" and all the crazy camera work. They lost me then and there and I was only 22 years

    Did I do the right thing? (long)

    SharonH, RN replied to LilDKessler's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah when I worked in employee health, we had the same but we by no means had a "crash cart", we basically were first responders until EMS could arrive in an emergent situation. It sound like OP is in...

    Did I do the right thing? (long)

    SharonH, RN replied to LilDKessler's topic in General Nursing

    I am as confused as the others responding. First, what area do you work i? You stated that patient was transferred to the ER? Under what circumstances is that done? Secondly, I can't think of a code...

    EVERYBODY IN! need info on average vacation time use

    SharonH, RN replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    Well to be pefectly honest, I would not work at a job where I had difficulty getting a day off or vacation. Seriously. I've never had that problem in 16 years as a nurse. I'm not sure how helpful that...

    Incompetent nurses

    SharonH, RN replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    Oh so now we get down to the heart of the matter. You had a beef with an RN and thus the rant about our incompetence, poor education, and a perceived hierchary. You asked for suggestions: I suggest...

    Nurses dating doctors

    SharonH, RN replied to btown annie's topic in General Nursing

    Oh good. I'm glad to see that this is just another angle of the same topic. I think it's important that we discuss this issue

    Direct admits and "Stat" orders -- if it's that urgent why not call 911?

    SharonH, RN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    My initial response was going to be that the doc certainly did use poor judgment. However, I remember when I worked in employee health, we would occasionally get someone in who needed to go to the...

    Incompetent nurses

    SharonH, RN replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Keith for your "concern". It sounds surprisingly like self-loathing masked by a superiority complex. You must be a joy to work with. Good luck on your future

    RN working for insurance company?

    SharonH, RN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would just choose the insurance company I was interested in, go to their website and apply directly after reviewing the listings. As for the physicals, those are generally contracted out, I can give...

    Patients on Medicaid

    SharonH, RN replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks much for this. It's amazing how people don't have a problem with corporations, the wealthy and the middle-class leeching off taxpayers; only poor people. In other words, we resent helping out...

    Patients on Medicaid

    SharonH, RN replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Now this is where you and I disagree. If you have a means of paying your bill, then why shouldn't you have to sell your posessions? That sounds like the entitlement mentality that so many here are...

    Crash Course?! Thoughts on RN education

    SharonH, RN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

    You always have a lot of questions about the status qo and I like that about you. I almost never agree with your conclusions, but nevertheless I really appreciate someone who looks at a situation and...

    Patients on Medicaid

    SharonH, RN replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I'm saying that if you were rich you would be able to pay your taxes and spend time with your family. If you would only work harder, were smarter with your money and saved more you would not need...

    Getting a nursing degree and a Tan at the same time!

    SharonH, RN replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I know. I am referring to media coverage of the nursing shortage in general, this article being yet another example. The coverage is slanted; we hear a lot about the difficulty of getting into...

    Not able to continue orientation, feel terrible.

    SharonH, RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I want to piggyback on to this and say that what you are seeing here Steph is a certain bit of frustration. A lot of us like Mama and we have tried to support her when she has posted about her...

    Getting a nursing degree and a Tan at the same time!

    SharonH, RN replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    They are going to keep pushing this bit about the sole reason for the nursing shortage being the difficulty getting into nursing school until almost everyone believes it. I only WISH they had as many...

    Patients on Medicaid

    SharonH, RN replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for clarifying. I don't know why anyone would think that these comments are snotty. You wouldn't have this problem if you were rich. If you were rich, then you could pay your taxes and still...
