  1. How do you feel about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome?

    Town & Country replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I know about it is that people who want to go "on the dole" often claim they are afflicted by this. Helps that there is no conclusive diagnostic

  2. Need all the help you can give me

    Town & Country replied to sanchy's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought is for you to see what you could do as far as approaching this particular teacher and trying to work out a better relationship. Perhaps her perception of you is wrong? I would...

  3. verbal discipline and retalliation...(a little vent)

    Town & Country replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    NO ONE should get away with that sort of behavior - threats and this kind of thing are not acceptable, regardless of "how hard their job is." Why should someone be allowed to blow up and threaten...

  4. quality improvement?

    Town & Country replied to beannie's topic in General Nursing

    So what did you do about the antibiotic not being given the day

  5. huge juggling act with time as the enemy

    Town & Country replied to joli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You cannot allow the nursing students to take the charts when you need them. They are interfering with patient care and need to back off. Get

  6. Sick of working short

    Town & Country replied to kristi-lpn2's topic in General Nursing

    This is probably a HCA hospital. What do you mean, you "can't" refuse an assignment? This is the United States of America - remember? No one is going to cover your a** but YOU. Of course this hospital...

  7. Scared, excited, nervous, anxious.....

    Town & Country replied to jennyga's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    First, FIND OUT HOW MUCH ORIENTATION YOU ARE GOING TO GET. Insist on enough. They will probably give you as little as they can get by

  8. anyone frustrated with administration???

    Town & Country replied to johnson0424's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I will never work in LTC again. I took a job in LTC, I've never seen anything like it.....I'll never do it

  9. "Proper" staffing for subacute unit?

    Town & Country posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What, in your opinion, would be the minimum staffing for a subacute unit of a SNF? This unit receives admissions from an acute care hospital, and a rehab hospital. # is residents on the unit currently...

  10. Dissed by DON? Opinions wanted!

    Town & Country replied to yadda_yadda_yadda's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even understand why someone like this is still employed. They sleep at work, refuse to do their job - why are they still

  11. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    Town & Country replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    It should be pointed out to her that, in order to put the bathroom call light on, she had to get herself to the BR. Then discuss that and ask why, if she is able to get there and back, she needs...

  12. News of Mother's Death Left on Answering Machine

    Town & Country replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention that, even if they gave their consent, you did it, and it was okay; if management gets P.O.'ed at the nurse LATER, part of her "list of crimes" could include "left news of patient's...

  13. contract broken, do I pursue it?

    Town & Country replied to rnwaller's topic in Travel

    No, I don't...........personally, I would be inclined to just move on.

  14. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Town & Country replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would opt for AZ. Doesn't matter to me about what homes cost....I

  15. America needs nurses? Doesnt look like it!

    Town & Country replied to Woman_in_love's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sent you a

  16. Lost It at Work!

    Town & Country replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not forget: often these nurses who "don't understand" why you didn't get X,Y, or Z done are so "upset" about it because they don't want to actually DO ANYTHING THEMSELVES. That's why they bully...

  17. Why can't we have breaks?

    Town & Country replied to Alex3's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked a lot of different places and have frequently encountered nurses on twelve-hour shifts who don't take breaks. They have a nurse : patient ratio that's too large, not enough help, and...

  18. Nursing School Interview HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Town & Country replied to Hou_ston's topic in General Nursing

    I posted on the other board, first year nursing or

  19. 3 medication errors in 7 months!

    Town & Country replied to NYCRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had a charge nurse come in and made a med error on one of my patients right at the start of the shift, personally, I think alot of med errors aren't reported. JMO. But you'll do fine. Good

  20. Nursing Interview HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Town & Country replied to Hou_ston's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think it's so much about what you wear (clean, neat, pressed), and the guidelines for that can be found all over the place. I think what you need to focus on is: * the REASONS you want into...

  21. What Would You Do?

    Town & Country replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    Should have, could have, and would have. This could be picked apart over and over, but basically, I think she did the best she would with what she had. No it may not be "by the book" but how many...

  22. Confront and risk drama or stay silent and hold the peace?

    Town & Country replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I wouldn't even buy into her drama. She's out for blood and no matter WHAT you do (or how you say it), she's going to be "offended." She's picking on you. Just like when you were a little...

  23. Lost It at Work!

    Town & Country replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can so relate to that statement. If anything, I think the day shift nurse should be in trouble for trying to browbeat YOU into stepping outside the bounds of your license. Even if you had gone...

  24. backstabbing co workers

    Town & Country replied to qje999's topic in Medical-Surgical

    K-Yeager, thanks for posting that! Great story and

  25. Please Help Me!! 50 pts med pass [New grad]

    Town & Country replied to medsurgcutie's topic in First Year After Licensure
