Hi. You sound like an older nurse.You are not helping and obviously did not read what I wrote to the nurse. I choose not to take sides. Try a little Mentoring . It might help you see how others see. Care and foster those who are going to be around to care for us. Love always:bow:

Yes, We are allowed to wear make-up. Personally it make me feel great and confident.

;)Anywhere you go you will experience working with lazy nurses. The other night I had to work with one in the ER. all she did was chat and and chat. she came to me about 3am syying she needed to break! By this time I had two cardiac cases in , one of whom she was attending to , and who was not improving. I told her to leave because all she was doing was complaining about the patients and their relatives. In the end one of them was of course an MI and was admitted. Her patient resolved and was referred to a cardiac center. I Just wanted to get rid of her and her negative work vibes and focus on what I had to do.

Hey Shellek! seems as You have been missing out on a lot of sleep? I did say, if you are not wired this way, DON'T, DON'T ,DON'T .AND I SAY DON'T ,TRY IT:monkeydance: .

Yes! and I am not trying to be sanctimonious here. My night shifts are 12s. and I take care of my sister's son he is 12 yrs old. ten years of doing this thing makes you always think of others first. I also work with some very understanding people. Have had to do three nights in a row.even worked a night and a day shift right after.Studying also forces some of us to be wired this way. And we perform just as well , even better. If you are not of this type of functioning person dont try it! It can be dangerous to you and your patients;)

No, I would not call in sick. Where I work it is often difficult to find a replacement nurse. I would tough it out .The shift is only eight hours long ,and if I keep busy it will go by in a flash.

You were right not to have given the shot to grandma. I am certain that someone was taught to give the shot before grandma was sent home on this injection. ta taa. Continue being safe.:monkeydance:

Finals; I hate exams. Always have and always will. It's not that I don't know what to do but they scared the hell out of me. I would always take at least ten minutes to start then ease into it. I'am glad those days are over.:monkeydance:

Lazy people are everywhere, not nursing only. They go everywhere, do everything except their duties and presume in their minds that no one knows.Nevermind someone of significance knows! And there is something called retribution, and time. To all the hard working nurses- continue to do your job the best you know how. Rewards are not always tangible!

Wearing rings are ok- I guess. As long as they are plain and dont cause damage to the patients , you , or your family . They protect you too from corny patients, their family, or their guests. One love.:monkeydance:

I could not agree with you more! Where I live and work white pants are the norm. We are socialized into wearing black underwear with them . It is not something you would make a mistake doing. Everyone will notice if you have some other color underneath. It is very distracting and professionally incorrect.
