  2. Which way do you go?

    burn out posted a topic in MICU, SICU

  3. Had my first doctor scream at me today

    burn out replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all I would get hold of that jerk of a unit secretary and demand to know why he didn't tell you that the doctor was on his way in and not to send the patient anywhere. It sounds to me like he...

  4. Another 'nursing burnout' thread

    burn out replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

    I just wonder if by writing you up is not just a ploy to keep you from transferring because your manager doesn't want to loose a good nurse and then have try to replace you. This way you may change...

    The time for asking questions though are is running out. It is critical that we take some kind of action now whether it is a social program or expanding programs already in existence or a combination...

  6. Real People Denied Healthcare

    burn out replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To a large extent I think the patients need to be monitored if they are receiveing insurance from social programs. If they are not complient then they do not need to be receiving the funds. The first...

  7. Real People Denied Healthcare

    burn out replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  8. Center For Nursing Advocacy steamed over Kelly Ripa sponge bath nursey comments

    burn out replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Trash pure and simple, that is why I never watch the show. What if all the nurses boycott the program. If we are at home don't watch it, if we are at work make sure none of the television are turned...

  9. No room for errors?

    burn out replied to burn out's topic in MICU, SICU

  12. Guilt over the death of a pt

    burn out replied to dorselm's topic in General Nursing

    You did nothing wrong. It would have been nice if the nurses would have shared with you the fact that the patient was dying before you started feeding

  13. No room for errors?

    burn out replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    We are a small rural hospital there are no heart surgeons. All of the patients died. None of these were the nurses fault but they were situations where the nurse was left holding the bag . The OP...

  14. No room for errors?

    1. After a long 6 hour code (placed chest tube and watched all the blood drain from her body and try to replace it) she died...we are a small rural hospital can't handle major heart surgery. 2. Nurse...

  15. new grad having trouble w/ icu personalities

    burn out replied to extraordinary067's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think alot of the different personalities comes from the way that we have been treated not only by coworkers, doctors and management but more so by our patients. Let's face it for what we deny...

    burn out replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    burn out replied to cardiac.cure03's topic in MICU, SICU

    Have you ever used it? The first time I did was on a friend and coworker with severe pancreatitis..it is some kick butte stuff. We wanted to asked Lillies to have t-shirts made "I survived Xigris"...

  19. Nurse Manager is a Bully

    burn out replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It is suppose to be some urban legend that it is a bad indication to be called into the bosses office on Friday. They either give you the boot or some kind of reprimand to mull over the weekend....

  21. Blood Type DIET?

    burn out replied to newguard's topic in General Nursing

    What do you get to eat rare meat and bloody mary's. Just joking. I am sure at my hospital they would end up with a bland diet if it were ordered. My question is I turned out to be the hunter (type...

  22. STICU vs ICU

    burn out replied to mrmike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In a surgical trauma ICU you will see things that you will not see anywhere else. You will receive the most acutely ill patients from around your region that have some kind of trauma. You will have...

  23. Pt's Complaint? Warranted or not?

    burn out replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    If I got in trouble everytime a patient complained about the noise in ICU I would have been fired a dozen times over squared. Our unit has no doors on any room so the "better" less ill patients will...

  25. AED use at camp

    burn out replied to kampnurse817's topic in Camp

    I was under the impression that an AED was intended for the lay person to even use that is why they are in malls and other public places until emergency care arrives. The machine tells you everything...
