  1. Need some support

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

    I didn't read the other thread but it sounds like what alot of new nurses go through. I don't know where you are in your orientation or whatever, but if you are off orientation; I suggest you request...

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

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

    They're doing it because new nurses often don't want to "make waves" and they are more apt to go along with unsafe nurse : patient

  3. Who's at fault here?

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

    It sounds like THIS ^ is the problem! If you don't even know you're in charge, how are you supposed to make decisions?! The NM needs to revamp the procedure or whatever to make sure people know...

  4. What Would You Do?

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

    What emergency supplies, she didn't even have o2 to put on

  5. What Would You Do?

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

    Completely disagree, the nurse did what she should've done, keeping her there on the psyche unit waiting for more personnel would have endangered her further; she needed transfer to the ER. If I was...

  6. Leaving LTC for hospital

    Town & Country replied to LPN01112005's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would send her a certified letter or something akin to it, with the reasons why you gave notice clearly specified....AND I would also inform her - IN WRITING - that I would NOT be doing any more...

  7. What Would You Do?

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

    Ditto

  8. What Would You Do?

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

    Well, you work on a psyche unit. Was she having labs for BNP REGULARLY??? I mean...come on, it's up to the doctor to order labs, if she wasn't even being treated for CHF why should you have...

  9. What Would You Do?

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

    Oh let them blow it out their XXX, you did the right thing. Anybody else probably wouldn't have even sent her to the ER. Do they really not have anything else to do.....I mean, you sent her to ER and...

  10. Teamwork vs doing someones job

    Town & Country replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    AND, I can tell YOU about the lazy, disrespectful CNAs I have had to work with, and that proves......what? Agreed; the really GOOD CNAs know; because they behave, function, and are treated as part...

  11. nurse's error--yikes?

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

    Just wondering what this nurse did when she realized her

  12. CNA's running assistive Living Facility

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

    Also has to do with the pesky fact that there's more and more elderly people requiring care, with less and less nurses to perform said care. Personally, I think there would potentially be enough...

  13. Teamwork vs doing someones job

    Town & Country replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    The bottom line is you have lazy support staff who would rather blame you than do their jobs. In my experience, when the CNAs are griping that you aren't helping them it's because they don't want to...

  14. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    :chuckle :chuckle

  15. Buying out my contract????

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

    Some nurses just give their sign-on bonus

  16. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    It IS a very good question, isn't it? The PROBLEM is, families don't understand that nurses aren't ignoring their family member. Nurses want to take care of patients. Families get frustrated - but...

  17. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    Very much agree with the last two posters. Part of good nursing care is to encourage wellness and return to ADLs. Encouraging and fostering a co-dependent relationship isn't in the best interest of...

  18. UAP's starting IV's

    Town & Country replied to TIGG1967's topic in General Nursing

    Makes sense to me, as long as she/he knew the bounds and stayed within them. Would give alot of help to the

  19. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    I doubt the original poster - or anyone else - was showing or expressing to their patient that they were displeased at being summoned so often. As a new nurse, you shouldn't be so quick to judge....

  21. Need Feedback on CPSI and MedVerify

    Town & Country replied to celo7203's topic in General Nursing

    I'd never heard of this before, I googled it, why am I not surprised that the "testimonials" come from people not doing direct patient care?

  22. CMA vs. Nurses

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

    Is emphathy and compassion a learned skill? Can a person be trainiedto have empathy? You either have it or you don't, to my way of thinking. If you don't, you shouldn't be doing any sort of...

  23. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    I think you are saying the same thing, just in different

  24. Tmc?

    Town & Country replied to shadylane21's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you want to live in Tucson, IMO you would be much better off to move here FIRST, then decide on a position. I heard several nurses who came to TMC by the route you are describing paid their...

  25. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    [quote I can't get over the irony of people talking about how nursing should be, yet demonstrating in their replies to the OP the opposite of of how nursing should be!QUOTE] :cheers:
