  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...

  2. Had my first doctor scream at me today

    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...

  12. Incometent Doctor

    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...

  13. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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

  14. "The Victim" and the "Big Ole Meanie who Made Her Cry"

    PANurseRN1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I had to laugh at your post because it made me imagine how she'd fare where I work; both depts. are full of headstrong, direct communicators. Not that we're mean, but turning on the tears just...

  15. "The Victim" and the "Big Ole Meanie who Made Her Cry"

    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...

    PANurseRN1 replied to labcat01's topic in PACU

    Kiddo probably won't even remember it. You were probably more traumatized than the pt. Don't let it discourage you

  18. "The Victim" and the "Big Ole Meanie who Made Her Cry"

    PANurseRN1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! I read that thinking, "Come on, grow up already!" At what point do we stop hand-holding? It doesn't sound like she was on orientation or just off orientation, which would have been a bit...

  20. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Funny how we went from great co-workers to this. And who said anyone was trying to take anything away from you. I think you need to cool off a bit. Who even said anything about med-surg? If your...

  21. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why do new nurses seem to think they should get whatever they want handed to them on a silver platter? I agree 1,000 million percent with carolladybelle's post. Good Lord, this topic is so nauseating,...

  22. "The Victim" and the "Big Ole Meanie who Made Her Cry"

    PANurseRN1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Myrtle was offered suggestions she refused to follow. She was offered help she refused to accept. Finally, her co-workers had to take over her pts when the situation became unmanageable. Then she had...

  23. AA hair care racist?

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

    Yeah, and if she hadn't asked she'd have gotten a complaint about that. Sometimes you can't win for losing. Sorry to the OP, your heart was in the right place. You were absolutely right to document,...

  24. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Then I guess it would be equally OK for experienced nurses to continually ask why new nurses are so "needy/insecure/unconfident/disorganized/self-centered/(insert your negative stereotype here)?...

  25. Why do nurses eat their young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, really it's a worn out cliche that needs to be ended. I wonder why some people are so invested in keeping this hateful stereotype
