1. Do nurses only "eat their young" in certain departments?

   PANurseRN1 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

   It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that most M/S depts are dreadfully understaffed, with high pt acuities, and then asking the nurses to be responsible for students to just...

   PANurseRN1 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I did recently write an abuser up. I can overlook a good deal, but that particular episode was more than I could overlook. I meant to add that another one of my tricks when dealing with "Old Yeller"...

7. Had my first doctor scream at me today

   PANurseRN1 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Stories like this just warm my heart! I'm sorry the doctor was a creep, and that neither his peers nor your co-workers saw fit to stop his hissy fit. Good for you for keeping your composure. I'm...

11. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Indeed. Tell you what cinthern, why don't you "go with" every hurtful cliche applied to new nurses. See how that works for you. Now, let's just do away with these nonsense cliches once and for all. If...

    PANurseRN1 replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    You bet your bippy I would document that the pt was in pain and that the doctor did not order pain medication. Which, BTW, could be construed as pt abuse. Makes me glad we don't have any docs that...

    Caroladybelle and rnin02 both made excellent points. If you must blame someone, blame the right person/people. This thread is yet another tirade against experienced/older nurses. When will it

    PANurseRN1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    It's just as shocking to me and many others when there are numerous threads and posts lambasting older nurses. It's unusual to see posts go in the opposite direction. That doesn't make it right, but...
