  1. On hanging blood...

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

    I hope you were being sarcastic and not truly encouraging that nurses lie to each other, let alone blame colleagues in other departments. Just the sort of thing we really want to

  2. Doctors going over your head?

    PANurseRN1 replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like your calls were valid; maybe he had a bad night with other calls. Practicing with a co-worker may not be a bad idea, though. Perhaps you think you're organized, but in fact are coming...

    PANurseRN1 replied to JessicRN's topic in Emergency

    I think it might be because on this board ED nurses are not included in the "Critical Care" section. Just a

    PANurseRN1 replied to dougRN2BE's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've had mine for ten years and wouldn't part with it for anything. I didn't find it to be a problem with peds.

  5. ADN VS BSN What are the benefits for your patient?

    PANurseRN1 replied to MLRN's topic in General Nursing

    Would a moderator kindly refer the OP the the thread already devoted to this topic, then lock this one down before a flame-war starts? Thank

    PANurseRN1 replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    First of all, you can't simply "put someone on hospice." The pt. has to have a qualifying illness w/ a life expectancy of If he does qualify for hospice, what of it? Hospice is not about euthanizing...

  10. Why SHOULDN'T one smoke in Amsterdam?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Busy20yo's topic in General Nursing

    The last thing you should do is call the school and start asking questions about what kind of drug screening they do. Hellllloooo? Talk about a huge red

  11. Almost 80 working RN on med/surg??!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    My goodness. Heaven forbid we should try an approach as mature as this one! You sound like a peach, madwife, and the kind of co-worker I would love to have. Bless you for having the kindness and...

  12. Almost 80 working RN on med/surg??!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe. But that supervision should be done by someone who is objective. Seems like the OP has way too much time on her hands if she's monitoring this nurse that

  13. To suspend or not

    PANurseRN1 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    For the 50,000 millionth time: "Nurses eat their young" is an offensive expression that denigrates older nurses. Stop using it. There are simply mean people, period. Some of them are older and some of...

    This is not legal. FMLA time is FMLA time, whether you take it consecutively or

  15. Sick Time

    PANurseRN1 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me for being blunt, but you're angry with the wrong person. You should be mad at yourself for enabling this situation. Stop agreeing to give up your shift in order to cover. Put the onus on...

  16. Almost 80 working RN on med/surg??!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously. It sounds like stalking.

  17. Almost 80 working RN on med/surg??!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Perfect example of younger nurses "eating" older nurses. For the record, I'm in my 40s. I have made med errors, and have fallen more than once at work. I guess that means I am too decrepit to continue...

    PANurseRN1 replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    She does have to double-check because you are new. Did you ever possibly consider that she may be trying to help you by doing so...catching a minor oversight before it turns into a major error? I...

  22. Breaking the Code of Silence Share info re poor performance of health care employee's

    PANurseRN1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Welcome back to the days when employers can say whatever they want. The onus will now be on the applicant. Try to attempt to dispute a false-accusation: the hospitals have the $$ and the lawyers to...

  23. eating our young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I was going to point that out, but you beat me to the punch. Some new nurses set themselves up for difficulty because they go into the clinical setting anticipating being "eaten." Then, when an...

  24. Threat of needle sticks!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

  25. Threat of needle sticks!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I also have zero respect for the direct-entry NPs who have no clinical experience. I wouldn't let them take care of my artificial plant, let alone me/my
