    You hit the nail right on the head. The ER and the ICU are different environments with different issues, and there shouldn't be floor

  3. Noticing a trend here

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    squeakykitty replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I can think of a way to fix this, but it's likely to cause employment issues when the manager is asked these questions. "Don't nurses deserve to be treated like human beings?" "Isn't anyone...

    squeakykitty replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    This is the second time recently I've seen a thread trying to go south, and I'd hate to see this one closed, since it's a good vent thread. I don't think that it is uncaring or unprofessional to vent...

    What I'm dying to know is-----why did he have it on in the first place? It's not like anyone was going to steal his

    squeakykitty replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    This is a good place for ER nurses to vent, since they see a lot of tragedies in the ER. They also see a lot of selfish people with a sense of entitlement, who think the world revolves around them....

  12. How to deal with pt's sexual advances?

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    There is a lot of good advice here. It all boils down to setting limits and being assertive. No one should have to tolerate things like

  15. I want her fired!!!!

    squeakykitty replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that everyone is responsible for their own actions. When supervisors say "It must have been the way the nurse presented herself", that just puts the blame where it shouldn't go. It's like...

    squeakykitty replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    People act this way because they are rewarded with getting away with it and getting their way. I'll bet this guy wouldn't act this way around a biker gang. (They know how to "reward" this

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with this more. There is no excuse for people to act like the northbound end of a southbound mule. Besides, they probably act like one even when they are not

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Kiwilime81-- I have been overweight myself, and I know how hard it can be to lose weight. I guess the things that annoy nurses (or anyone) the most is not necessarily obese people, but mostly rude...
