  1. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

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

    Excellent

  2. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

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

    and it disheartens me that our male colleagues are so quick to pile on, too. people of both genders can be backstabbers; this is not a uniquely female

  3. "Hardened" Healthcare Providers

    PANurseRN1 replied to cwinlv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Maybe you don't remember other nurses because you were being coded three times. Kind of hard to remember who was/was not compassionate to you in that situation. And just because a nurse doesn't cry...

  4. "Hardened" Healthcare Providers

    PANurseRN1 replied to cwinlv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Absotively. Aren't we lucky to have all of these students to set us straight? That post should be referenced the next time someone vents about how "nurses eat their young." Sometimes, the young bring...

  5. Mars requires nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Barb101's topic in General Nursing

    The last thing we need to do is try to habitate another planet. We've already trashed Earth; I doubt we'd suddently become responsible custodians of

  6. EtOH help

    PANurseRN1 replied to larsell303's topic in General Nursing

    We cannot (and should not) be giving advice regarding medical issues. You need to discuss this with your physician. Detoxing from ETOH is not just as simple as "cutting back" and can actually be...

  7. Do physicians deserve credit for the work nurses do?

    PANurseRN1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wonder what the next "Nursing Outrage of the Moment" will be: I suppose nurses at this hospital should be up in arms. And this one. Nurses here should demand action. And certainly this can no longer...

  8. narcotic count issue

    PANurseRN1 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Going back and signing off meds after the fact (particularly narcs) is poor practice. It is unacceptable, period. I'm guessing by the post and your profile that you're a med tech. Are you legally...

  9. Do young nurses ever have fun???

    PANurseRN1 replied to chichimitchi's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you should amend your question to let everyone know that you only want to hear from young

  10. Hate nursing school, please help

    PANurseRN1 replied to Higgs747's topic in General Students

    I am forever grateful that I don't have to write careplans anymore. It drove me crazy when I was a student (decades ago) to have to write "Ineffective airway clearance r/t acute exacerbation of asthma...

  11. when are you no longer considered a new grad?

    PANurseRN1 replied to colleennurse's topic in General Nursing

    Seven months isn't much time. It takes at least a year or two just to get your

  12. Enraged (venting)

    PANurseRN1 replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    If you haven't been on the receiving end of being assaulted by a pt., then you really don't know what you would do. To put it more bluntly, you don't know diddly. Your post makes absolutely no sense,...

  13. Enraged (venting)

    PANurseRN1 replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    Get serious! GOK what might have happened had the OP waited for security to get there. Just because she's a nurse doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to defend herself. Now, if she'd grabbed an IV...

  14. New Grad: 2 FT Jobs?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Pachinko's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How about loan consolidation/consumer credit counseling? There was another thread about this topic, and almost to a man the response was "Don't do it." It's a fast-track to burnout/getting sick. If...

  15. Should I go back tomorrow morning or not??!

    PANurseRN1 replied to luckyduck7's topic in General Nursing

    Posessing a nursing license does not mean one has to become a martyr or stay in a situation that is dangerous and could compropmise one's license. Are you actually a nurse? It doesn't say so in your...

  16. Murphy's Law... (long)

    PANurseRN1 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    We all have bad nights. It was my impression that the OP was merely looking for some support, not necessarily a Monday morning quaterback reply of how she could have done things better. Sometimes,...

  17. Help ...I'm not a team player

    PANurseRN1 replied to firegenie's topic in Nursing Career

    That is an unfair generalization; there are plenty of friendly smaller hospitals and inhospitable larger facilities. Just because you had a bad experience at one small hospital does not mean all are...

    Agreed. I've given PRBCs through a 24g using a syringe pump on pedi

  19. heplock needle size

    PANurseRN1 replied to greenbean's topic in General Nursing

    Please tell me that was a joke about sticking diabetics in the foot.

  20. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's some kind of unit you work on. From the "gross out co-worker" to this. Are there any normal people working on your unit? Please read previous posts from the OP about her "Gross Out...

  21. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I should have known to check the "user profile" before getting so fired up. That says it

  22. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    It might serve you well to actually experience being in a position where you don't have health insurance and don't have the $$ to pay for care. Maybe you would have a little more compassion. No...

  23. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    would you please stop with the canada bashing already? it's disgusting. incase you haven't noticed, we do have members here who are canadian. this isn't

  24. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    Not only is that ridiculous and untrue, it's a slap in the face to our many fine Canadian members here. Moderator,

  25. Calling In Sick.

    PANurseRN1 replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have an infection control nurse? Ask her what she thinks of someone coming in as compromised as you are? So you go in and work, and then a few days later other staff and pts come down with the...
