3. Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

   Stillcrazyafteralltheseyears replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

   That’s what they call a drive by. Won’t say it to your face so you’re left with it in the back of your mind all day. I hated those kind of actions by some nurses. You know nursing is a sisterhood and we should all be honoring one another for sharing ...

   Oh tell the off going nurse to blow. Yeah she had to stay until your work was done. What if the physician in charge new about this? He would definitely commend you. Unfortunately getting off on time would be great. But how many of us had to stay over...

   I worked in a methadone clinic for 7 years, and yes she was definitely over dosing. Good call. The one thing I wanted to tell you is that after you give a dose of narcan you need to continue to monitor their respiratory rate hours later due to metha...

   You can always get a laser thermometer that checks room temperature for 20.00 on line. We had a patient whose room temperature never got above 64 degrees. We shut the room down and moved her to another room. 70 degrees was the temperature we sought f...

8. Question about Outpatient Mental Health

   Case Management, mmmh does that mean you will writing care plans and speaking with guardians? Also arranging meetings with family, and filling out the critical assessment form every 90 days or when they have an outburst. Going to treatment team mee...

9. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

   Stillcrazyafteralltheseyears replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

   Was there any witnesses when you dropped the "f bomb"? I believe you have a claim for harassment if you want to go that route. You can call HR and find out. I would do this anonymously and from a phone no one can link back to you. Nurses are passiona...

    Stillcrazyafteralltheseyears replied to BeachLife_AKB's topic in General Nursing

    Any DON who doesn't respect their nurses and humiliates them for petty reasons is selfish and controlling. She seems to like putting her staff down. I agree with finding a PRN position some where else. Most DON's would help out in situation you descr...

13. Should I feel bad?

    Stillcrazyafteralltheseyears replied to jordyn12's topic in Relations

    No way are you wrong for requesting time off the same time a co-worker was asking off, it’s your supervisors responsibility to obtain staffing for the unit. I had a similar situation where a co-worker was getting married the same day my daughter was ...

14. Ready to leave bedside after only 1 year?

    Stillcrazyafteralltheseyears replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I I don’t think your job is giving you a chose. Since you are perceptible to depression/anxiety I don’t see it getting any better, and it may get worse. Can you take a leave of absence? Do they have EAP at your job? Still that’s really no ones busine...
