  1. This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    PANurseRN1 replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some people from the New England states do that also. JFK used to say

  2. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Let's stay on topic. This has nothing to do with the OP. Please do not turn this into yet another generalized rant against experienced nurses. There are countless threads already in existence on that...

  3. No room for errors?

    PANurseRN1 replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    #3 is just really messed

  4. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agree. I think this is another example of "I didn't get what I wanted, therefore I am being eaten." Wonderful preceptor, wonderful co-workers, dream job? A lot of new grads would be thankful for half...

  5. This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    PANurseRN1 replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's one thing to make an innocent typo, quite another to make egregious violations of grammar and spelling. I was reading a post earlier today and came across a word so mysterious that it left me...

  6. This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    PANurseRN1 replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am tempted to ask people who write "et" instead of "and" if they say "et" instead of "and" when they speak. How much time do you save by writing two words instead of three? If the intention is to...

  7. Unemployed & Confused!

    PANurseRN1 replied to JuneBSNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe Greg was employing a literary device known as a

  8. Can nurses suture?

    PANurseRN1 replied to amanda sue's topic in General Nursing

    Suturing? No thanks, I have enough to do

  9. On call for free?

    PANurseRN1 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    You'd have to find out who licenses them. Are they licensed by the state? Are they JCAHO certified? (Doubtful.) Honestly, the time and effort you would put into looking into this just isn't worth it....

  10. On call for free?

    PANurseRN1 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    Before you assume, you should find out what the regulatory body that oversees the facility has to say. Are there standing orders that would cover this? Lots of questions, no easy answers. I sure...

  11. level of difficulty 2nd degree BSN program vs ADN

    PANurseRN1 replied to Dino's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Let me see if I understand this. Based on your casual observation as a non-nurse walking past a nurses' station, you see several people and deduce that there is no nursing shortage. Do you know for a...

  12. Dental Assistants Pushing Propofol etc...

    PANurseRN1 replied to Larry77's topic in Emergency

    Do they have the equipment if the pt codes? Who will manage the airway? Who would push the meds? Who would man the defib? The list goes on and on. If you are going to use those meds, then you had...

  13. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    PANurseRN1 replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    For that matter, BSNs are the only real nurses. We diploma/ADN nurses are just begrudgingly accepted as a necessary evil, for

  14. Caring for Jehovah's witnesses

    PANurseRN1 replied to cu-n-hvn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well, that website certainly doesn't have an axe to

  15. Gen X learners preferences

    PANurseRN1 replied to pwaszgis's topic in General Nursing

    And FWIW, it's "analogy," but I won't cast aspersions on your misspelling

  16. Gen X learners preferences

    PANurseRN1 replied to pwaszgis's topic in General Nursing

    Gee. How nice. And here I thought it was called "interaction," getting ideas from each other. So glad you don't need to hear input from others. Also so nice to hear how you speak of your...

  17. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    PANurseRN1 replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It's time to get tough on these imposters. If you're an MA, be proud of being an MA--but don't try to pass yourself off as a nurse. And don't accuse real nurses (LPNs and RNs) of being...

  18. Tips for looking more professional

    PANurseRN1 replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely agree. I have sweater sets and twill pants that have carried me through interviews; they last and last. I got one sweater from Eddie Bauer about 8y ago and it is still in their fall catalog...

  19. Tips for looking more professional

    PANurseRN1 replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Try stuff from Lands' End or Eddie Bauer. Casual but tailored look, and their stuff lasts for years, so while it might be a little more up front, you'll have basic pieces that will last you for years....

  20. Admits after 6:00 pm? Does your hospital do this?

    PANurseRN1 replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    No, and we shouldn't have to hold pts in the ED because the floors have so many "no fly zones" when you can't call report, in addition to the game of "catch me if you can" during the times when you...

  21. This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    PANurseRN1 replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you also have it wrong. It's

  22. Admits after 6:00 pm? Does your hospital do this?

    PANurseRN1 replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Really, sometimes the things I see here just amaze

  23. Admits after 6:00 pm? Does your hospital do this?

    PANurseRN1 replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    I found that claim extremely hard to believe as well. We are constantly told about wait times. Oh yeah, and what with all of the "no fly zones" the floors have about when you can't call report and...

  24. Admits after 6:00 pm? Does your hospital do this?

    PANurseRN1 replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    We do not sit around in the ED "La di da, la di da, oh well, I have nothing better to do, I guess I'll ruin the floor nurse's day by holding my pt until it's the most inconvenient time for her to take...

  25. Pt's Complaint? Warranted or not?

    PANurseRN1 replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit that I was irritated that the nurses always left the door open when I was in the hospital. I'd get OOB, shut the door, then someone would come in, walk out and leave the door open. I'd...
