    Nurses belligerent towards MDs

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

    Why am I so resentful? I had to take a moment to cool off and think about that actually....... Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with resident physicians...

    Nurses belligerent towards MDs

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

    Perhaps the confusion arises from the use of the words "nurture" and "teach". As I stated before I will not nurture. Nurturing to me indicates something far more involved than teaching a clinical...

    Nurses belligerent towards MDs

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

    Absolutely. We are all there for the good of the patient, no? Shouldn't their safe and effective care be our utmost concern? i don't know why it should be so

    Jehovah Witness RNs

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

    Actually Nathan, I am more than a casual observer as I stated before and which you choose to purposefully ignore. While I was never officially baptized, the JW religion is the only one I have ever...

    Nurses belligerent towards MDs

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

    I did a quick, alebit superficial search on PubMed for articles to try to understand the depth of the problem of nurses abusing doctors, since some here insist it is a real problem and my denial of it...

    Jehovah Witness RNs

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

    I don't need to read a 20-year old article that was written prior to HIPAA and that references a hypothetical situation. But if you insist, then go back and reread it yourself. It clearly states that...

    Nurses belligerent towards MDs

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

    Please go back and read what I actually wrote. I did not state it was beneath me to extend a hand of support. I clearly stated that I would be glad to teach when needed, and I have done so before. I...

    Jehovah Witness RNs

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

    Thank you. When I first started reading this thread, I thought it was a very good and valuable discussion and I was very proud. Needless to say, a few people had to jump in with some false statements,...

    Jehovah Witness RNs

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

    Nathan, you are absolutely incorrect in your interpretation of this. The Watchtower Society would never require JW's to violate rules of confidentiality and the law in order to report someone who...

    Nurses belligerent towards MDs

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

    Oh now really, this is a bit much isn't it? Just because some of us hove not personally observed this behavior on a wide scale (becaue NO ONE denied that it ever happened), to compare it to past...

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

    Oh I'm sure he wasn't making it up....as I said it is a matter of perception. I am sure that he really believed what he was saying. You state that you have never met a physician expecting you to defer...

    Nurses belligerent towards MDs

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

    No, never, and I seriously seriously doubt it was like that at this hospital either. In teaching hospitals, I have sometimes observed nurses who were less than deferential towards the residents and...

    Going to have to get hospital job...so depressed

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

    By the way, I've never accessed a port-a-cath, I haven't started an IV in probably 7 or 8 years and I would never describe myself as unskilled. Those are technical skills which anyone can be trained...

    Going to have to get hospital job...so depressed

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

    If you're going to commute to a big city for a job anyway, why not look for something that is not inside the hospital? I know there's something else you can do, I worked in the hospital for 13 years...

    Anyone here drink a can of soda a day?

    SharonH, RN replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

    I love Coca-Cola, I love it! I love that sharp, sweet taste as it hits the back of my throat and I love the way it makes my food taste better and me feel more alive. I am actually addicted to it. And...

    Pregnancy is not a disease!!! (vent)

    SharonH, RN replied to RN4life#1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely. People really are so mean to each other, determined not to give an inch lest they give even a tiny bit more than they take. The title of this post is pregnancy is not a disease....

    Did I do something wrong????

    I'll bet that's it also. And while he came to the wrong conclusion, I can understand why he is angry. OP, you owe your boss an

    is this legal?

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

    There are several issues at play here. The most serious of course is the falsifying of medical records. That stands out to me as the issue which needs to be addressed most. As for the speech therapy...

    Is it a good idea to be a CNA before being an RN???

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

    Please do not waste your time. It is simply not necessary in order to succeed in school nor to get a job afterwards. No, it is not a good idea at

    Heads up: NBC nightly news tonight

    SharonH, RN replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually that was one of the better media portrayals of nursing. They actually showed a nurse listening to heart sounds and nursing students learning complicated assessments as opposed to the usual...

    NP NO Masters

    SharonH, RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Every clinical program requires at least 500 clinical hours both for graduation and for national certification. The great thing about graduate clinicals is that they are not as rigid as undergrad...

    NP NO Masters

    SharonH, RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Um, I guess I had that coming. I understand there is a difference between the words "significant" and "drastic". What I wanted to know is what defines a drastic clinical? In other words, what would...
