    How can I word this to my manager when she asks me to pick up extra?

    LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac replied to Nurse4lifewithparrots's topic in General Nursing

    I love an intentionally placed "thank you for your understanding" — it implies that the conversation has concluded, and that no further argument is required... AND that understanding is the only...

    experience with a hostile work environment

    LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    These behaviors are beyond "hostile" — they are a danger to patients. While they are busy trying to get you in trouble they're not performing their duties..... but more importantly an incorrect...

    I didn't have anyone in particular in mind when I said that, and I don't think I've ever disagreed with you on anything 😆. .. glad to hear it though!

    ACLS vs real life

    LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac replied to Dtwjj's topic in General Nursing

    I think of it as patients' bodies haven't read the ACLS manual 😉... yes like others said, it's likely related to the Hs&Ts/reversible

    LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Fair point... I don't know and don't care how much she's making. I'm more bothered by the principle that remuneration is acceptable to her at all Others may disagree, but personally I would...

    For what it's worth, if it were up to me that MD would have been prosecuted... that story was one of the worst things I've ever heard. I just disagree that RV should NOT have

    EXACTLY. It's no different than Kim Potter being convicted for the shooting death of Daunte Wright when she meant to tase him. Actually I think RV was more reckless than Potter was — and I...

    LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Other nurses' recklessness don't excuse hers — which resulted in the painful and 100% preventable death of a patient. Add to that when giving a drug that even when administered correctly can...

    LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!! Had she monitored her patient following an IVP drug, Mrs Murphey would be alive today. It's for this reason why I cannot muster an ounce of sympathy for her, why I so strongly disagree...

    LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    This is a great article but in the wrong forum... long-term acute care is typically a weeks-to-months-long stay, with acuity usually being less than a typical ICU, but more than a stepdown unit....
