  1. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    Town & Country replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    AngelGirl: you don't have to ask to have a break. Tell them you are taking your break in ten or fifteen minutes. Then do

  2. ICU - Should I stay or go?

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

    IMHO you should go to a general Med-Surg floor and put in 2 - 3 years before even thinking beyond that. What you are describing sounds more like a social issue in that you are new on the Unit and...

  3. I don't think I understand pain management.

    Town & Country replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Patients with cancer usually don't get adequate pain meds. It's the ER frequent-flyers complaining of headaches and back pain that get narcs out the

  4. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    Town & Country replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It sounds like you basically told the NM (in so many words) "it's either her or me." Maybe in your opinion, this nurse was incompetent. The NM apparently didn't think so. Not to mention, most of the...

  5. Should I leave nursing and move on?

    Town & Country replied to E10_Alive's topic in Nursing Career

    you people have got to be kidding ~ a lawyer??? original poster: no offense but didn't you know you had to chart a med when you gave it? honestly, i've never heard of anybody going through nursing...

  6. I made a mistake with my home meds and it affected me at work, will I lose my job?

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

    Is it just me or is anyone else going WTH??? Talk about jumping the gun!

  7. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

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

    LOL, I can see it now: Nurse: "I'm going to do a quick assessment of your husband, if you would like to step out of the room. Or you may want to remain, it's up to you -" Wife: " - WHY do you want me...

  8. please help

    Town & Country replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    They stopped giving incentive pay for taking extra shifts so they shouldn't be surprised when the nurses

  9. Please tell me how this is right?!?!

    Town & Country replied to L&DRNJenn's topic in General Nursing

    What I think is so weird is that the big Customer Service push is happening at the same time we have the nursing

  10. Since when is there segregation in nursing?

    Town & Country replied to luv4nursing's topic in Nursing Career

    There's nothing new here. Everywhere I have ever worked there has been patients who only wanted to be taken care of by their own race.....it's not my concern or my business to try to change anyone...

  11. Nicotine in pre-employment drug screen?

    Town & Country replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The last hospital I interviewed with for a travel gig told me they don't even want nurses coming on the Unit with the smell of cigarettes on them, and they can't smoke on the hospital grounds at all....

  12. First med error!

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

    Sounds like yours wasn't the only error. If you showed the 100 units to your preceptor, why didn't she catch it? Why was the wrong dose on the

  13. ICU Preceptors

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

    Personally, I wonder if some nurses don't precept because they want the opportunity to harrass a new

  14. Made a big mistake

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

    We all make mistakes. Don't beat yourself

  15. Question about unfriendly preceptor

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

    Tell your Nurse Manager that it's not a good fit and request a different preceptor. Happens all the time. Nothing unusual about

  16. The bully strikes again

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

    You're the target of workplace bullying. Sounds like it's more than just one person, though. This slamming the drawer shut is teetering on the verge of assault IMO. If you haven't told the...

  17. Rude Family Members: Just Venting!

    Town & Country replied to sarahRN482's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone minds families being present, or being overprotective. What I do mind is the stunningly idiotic behaviors that nurses are so constantly exposed

  18. Moving to Tucson again

  20. Rude Family Members: Just Venting!

    Town & Country replied to sarahRN482's topic in General Nursing

    Chalk it all up to "Customer Service"...... The Visitor's Code of Conduct sounds like an EXCELLENT idea. Never heard of that before; and I doubt if I every will AGAIN (at least, around here!)...

  21. Need career advice

    Town & Country replied to ShayRN's topic in Nursing Career

    It's nice to be wanted!!!

  22. Job Interviews..What else can I do???

    Town & Country replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Nursing Career

    I think your chances are very good ~ they want you to interview again because you will be interviewing the the ER Unit Manager. Gosh, I would be glad I didn't get the patient financial rep position!...

  25. Sick of it!!!

    Town & Country replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A lot of NH are run by the CNAs. The nurses ususally move onto hospitals or other jobs, so the "core staff" is the CNAs and management wants to keep them happy. Run for your life. If management...
