  1. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    lorster replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    What you do on your thirty minute break, is your own business unless you are on the clock. You cannot be terminated for sleeping on your break.

  2. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    lorster replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    Finally, a post that makes sense. The country you are in has the right idea. These self righteous nurses on this board who feel that nurses should not take a nap during their "unpaid" breaks are the...

  3. Where do you live when you travel?

    lorster replied to AlisonBSN's topic in Travel

    Wait a minute, this makes no sense to me. If this woman owns a home and is traveling for her profession, she is a resident of that state. She has to claim a state as her tax base. I don't think she...

  5. New Nurse Fired for wanting more training

    lorster replied to dimplez's topic in General Nursing

    Dimplez, First of all I would like to say, Welcome to the nursing profession, the most back stabbing profession you will ever be a member of. And the back biting and stabbing starts right at the top...

  6. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    lorster replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with GardenDove. I also feel that autoimmune diseases are on the rise and I wonder about the autism controversy. I don't think taking an infant to a doctors office to receive 7 or 8...

  7. Too Many Pain Meds!!

    lorster replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    what i don't understand is how these people can come in and get this much medication and then the next thing you know, the pizza delivery guy is showing up at the nurses station to deliver the patient...

  9. Ratios

    lorster posted a topic in Travel

    I am new to this travel thing and not so sure I'm liking it. I have been there 2 weeks and so far it has not killed me but I'm also not sure I'm stronger. The other night, night shift 7p to 7a,...

  11. what if I hate it?

    lorster replied to Billy5949's topic in Travel

    I don't get housing and all that stuff but i get a stipend at the end of each 4 weeks. This company that I'm working for is really not paid anything out for me except a drug screen and a tetorifice...

    lorster replied to Michellex1013's topic in Travel

    Michellex, I just took my first assignment and I am regretting it. I didn't get an interview at the hospital. If I had known then what I know now, I would have stayed where I"m at. One day the...

  15. Is there any way out??

    lorster replied to lorster's topic in Travel

    Well, I want you all to know that I appreciate all your good advice and comments. I made it the first three days of orientation. first two were horrible and I wanted to quit. The third day I got a...

  16. Refuse TB test

    lorster replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    This nurse should not have to do two TB skin tests every year. Why should an employee be subjected to these if they have never had a reaction. Once a year should be enough. If you become positive,...

  17. How to get to work in a snowstorm?

    lorster replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    The op simply wanted to know if anyone had a snow plan. If you read back through your own posts, I'm sure the OP felt that she was on the witness stand as you interrogated her. I WILL NOT put my...

  18. How to get to work in a snowstorm?

    lorster replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    Man, do you feel a bit attacked? Someone on this thread has decided to sit high on her marble perch and all but tell you that you are a horrible employee because you just happen to value your life...

  19. Is there any way out??

    lorster replied to lorster's topic in Travel

    I guess it must be true that you get screwed on your first contract, then you learn. the only money this company has put into me so far is a drug screen, tetorifice shot, and rubella titre. I get a...

  20. Mixed Med/Surg unit with tele not being watched

    lorster replied to Stryker's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that if a patient is on tele, they should not be allowed to come off the tele for showers, teethbrushing, etc unless a doctors order specifies this. It really sets the nurse up if something...

  21. Mixed Med/Surg unit with tele not being watched

    lorster replied to Stryker's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bet those patients are paying more than a non tele patient and they deserve to be monitored. I worked on a tele unit with 38 beds for 3 years. There was a monitor clerk and the monitors were...

  22. Thoughts on being a nurse

    lorster replied to moyz's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I like about being a nurse is the paycheck I get every other Friday. I can see nothing I like about being a med surg nurse. It is exhausting. There is never a thank you by...

    lorster replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    If they receive any federal funding for building, they must provide a certain percent of charitible care. Certainly this will not be only patients with insurance facility. They are doing cardiac...

  25. Hospital vs Hotel

    lorster replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey guess what? They do have an ER and they are hiring, lol. I also question a doctor owned facility. Man, imagine getting into it with a doctor, you are out of there tomorrow. I just question the...
