  8. Rules for the ER (long)

    squeakykitty replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Now that's a very good idea. And it would also discourage the complaints about the wait

  9. crying abuse when being written up for neglect of patients

    squeakykitty replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone here has good advice, so there's not much else I can add. Except bring up the pt. safety issues during the meeting, and how important it is to meet the pts. needs and what could happen if...

  10. My D.o.n. Is So Unprofessional!!!!

    squeakykitty replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Is this a one time thing, or are there other problems with this DON? You may have to have witnesses and document every interaction you have with her. Hopefully, the administrator you reported her to...

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    As for the weapons, I thought it would be somewhat common, at least in some areas. I guess ER nurses have seen all sorts of strange

  12. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    squeakykitty replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    If the nurse manager isn't doing anything, there is the chain of command to go up. And if that doesn't work, report them to the

  14. nurses from maintenance point of view

    squeakykitty replied to sailordave's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that could plug a toilet is a really huge BM. I've seen one and had to break it up with tongue depressors and flush a little at a time. It was the size of a big

  15. nurses from maintenance point of view

    squeakykitty replied to sailordave's topic in General Nursing

    I guess a lot of strange stuff happens in the ER. I've heard somewhere on this website that a homeless guy came to the ER and they found a rattlesnake on him. He was using it to protect his...

  16. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    squeakykitty replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Another reason is the managers or anyone else who does nothing about the lazy CNAs, so the good ones move

  17. er visitors...a funny

    squeakykitty replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    How about Drama King/Queen Dingaling? The ones who come in by ambulance for a minor condition and complain about the wait because their minor condition is a "major

  18. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    squeakykitty replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of hardworking CNAs out there who have too much to do and not enough time due to the short staffing. That's why nurses and CNAs have issues with the one's who don't do their job out...

    squeakykitty replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you're taking a stand and writing them up. They have been allowed to get away with this too long. You'll need to document everything. Also go up the chain of command if the DON doesn't...

  21. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    squeakykitty replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    To the student who wanted to go to a different nursing school after flunking out of this one: You won't get better grades there, since you don't study and you copy off of other peoples homework. Not...

    squeakykitty replied to concededrn's topic in Emergency

  24. Staff Leaving In Droves! Residents Revolting! Administration Ignoring All! HELP!

    squeakykitty replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    VivaLasViejas-- I do hope you get the state surveyors job. I think that you will be a good one. The place you are a manager at sounds pretty toxic to me, and it's probably time to move

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    They do need to write the editorials----in every newspaper. Maybe some educating on the nurses role, and how NOT to act in the
