  6. maybe it's just me.....but can anyone explain to me why a nurse would want to work nine twelve-hour shifts in a row? this is a staff nurse i'm referring to, and she was telling me how much overtime...
  7. Expectations of agency nurses

    I can SO relate to you...maybe you just need a break. Or perhaps you need to find a niche. I am on my first travel assignment. I think I'm handling the hostility pretty well. I was hoping for...
  8. Dealing With Aggressive Coworkers

    Please send her my way! I have seen nights I would PAY somebody to rub my neck and shoulders! I would be thrilled if someone did that to me..........seriously. I get soooo tense in my...
  9. Essential Skills~Input from ALL Nurses!!!

    Here is what I would tell you as you enter the workforce. 1. You are a new RN. Nobody in their right mind should expect you to be 'perfect'...they know that RNs get virtually NO clinical...
  10. David Lee Roth to become a Paramedic!

    LOL, great thread! All joking aside: you know I really thought there wasn't much to DLR but dried-up, used-up, former rock star. You gotta give the man CREDIT for having the b*lls to begin...
  11. Hints before traveling?

    Oh, goodness, yes, you gotta have a washer/dryer!!! The hospital where I am told me I "wouldn't need to bring scrubs" because they want the travellers to blend in with the staff by wearing the...

  14. Dealing With Aggressive Coworkers

    It is my experience that most nurses have "aggressive personalities," LOL.
  15. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

    "I totally don't get this post. Why do you care how much someone else works? If she isn't making errors, it has no impact on you. Additionally, everyone has different motivation-she may be doing it to...
  16. my favorite resident

    Oh, isn't that the truth? I loved LTC! I just couldn't deal with the under-staffing, the B.S., politics, and the residents not having enough staff (and supplies!), to have their needs met. I...
  17. Why can nurses be so mean?

    I think women are generally b*tchier than men,
  18. Traveling RV style...

    I've been thinking about this, also. I personally would prefer a camper trailer that you pull, rather than a RV (all built-into one). I would like to be able to detach the truck or SUV from the...
  19. What would you all say are the most common drugs given/used on Med/Surg
  20. Futile Care. Dead is dead.

    I understand that people can be in denial, and that they don't want to "let go" of their loved one. But does it really take a rocket scientist to see that someone is ALREADY DEAD? Literally: I...
  21. Emergency' Ruling on RN Ratios Endangers Patients

    All those steroids he took years ago must have rotted his brain....idiot.
  22. Bullhead City

    Well, so much for that. I thought I had a job until they moved the start date up a week. I cannot get there any sooner, plus they wouldn't even wait for me to get my temporary license! I'm...
  23. moving to arizona from UK

    Hi, I cyberknow someone who lives in Phoenix and evidently, the heat is unreal. ALSO the price of living (food, utilities, gas....in Phoenix is through the roof, according to her. They moved to...
