  1. The Circumcision Discussion

    NancyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with sanakruz. It's not your body. If he wants a circ later, he can have one. There are no good reasons for genital mutilation on boys or girls. Isn't it insulting to assume that a male is...

  2. How long does report take?

    NancyRN replied to RNnites's topic in General Nursing

    The best place I ever worked had computer printouts with all pertinent information. There was no report. I was able to get to work as soon as I

  3. DNR'ed from hospital

    NancyRN replied to danvet's topic in Agency Nurses

    But then you don't have anyplace to work! I do not remember who has as their line signature... but another member reminds us that.. WE WILL GET EXACTLY AS MUCH CRAP AS WE WILL TAKE.... To be honest......

  4. Stay Away From Texas

    NancyRN replied to parisgirl's topic in Travel

    That's just disgusting, Zoe! Another example of nurses being chewed up and spit out. I'm glad she sued; can you imagine having to finish your contract under those

  5. Medical Assistants in the office

    NancyRN replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    The main problem I have with MA's being referred to as "the nurse" is because it makes nurses look bad! It isn't fair when patients expect an MA to have the knowledge base of an RN. If the MA refers...

  6. Stay Away From Texas

    NancyRN replied to parisgirl's topic in Travel

    It's good to know I won't be charged anything for dying on the

  7. Stay Away From Texas

    NancyRN replied to parisgirl's topic in Travel

    ZOE, what I meant is: what happens you cannot complete an assignment? Does the company charge you money? Sue you? I haven't seen that issue

  8. Stay Away From Texas

    NancyRN replied to parisgirl's topic in Travel

    What happens if you find you just aren't up to the long

  9. What Do You Want To Hear When Receiving Report?

    NancyRN replied to rebelwaclause's topic in General Nursing

    There was another thread about "bullying during report" that was interesting. I think that some of the questions asked are more to show off than an actual need for information. My favorite thing is...

  10. What Do You Want To Hear When Receiving Report?

    NancyRN replied to rebelwaclause's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, all the nurses have the bad habit of actually reading the trifold to the oncoming nurse! It takes an hour to get/give report. I've tried to break this trend, but it seems to be deeply...

  11. hair color and anesthesia, no kidding

    NancyRN replied to BRobison's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'd like to see this study. I'm a redhead and I've always needed more anesthetic at the dentist. I always just figured I was a

  12. Sent home after 4 hours...AGAIN!!!!

    NancyRN replied to NURS4GOD's topic in Agency Nurses

    I'm getting cancelled a lot too. I was starting to think it was something I'd done! More likely the bad economy has more nurses putting in more

  13. How to stay organized

    NancyRN replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize! I'm overwhelmed too. I have to stay focused all the time. Don't let bossy unit clerks stress you out. You are the one responsible for your patients. If people...

  14. Foreign recruitment of nurses-thoughts?

    NancyRN replied to flopmingale's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, jt for an eloquent message. I've sent it to my Congressman in

  15. Foreign recruitment of nurses-thoughts?

    NancyRN replied to flopmingale's topic in General Nursing

    So does a nurse only care if she's paid to care? There's a name for people who offer "love" in exchange for money. If you're a nurse, you care about other nurses as well as the patients who are...

  16. 4-hour shifts--Anyone done them or doing them now?

    NancyRN replied to dianacs's topic in General Nursing

    I fill in with 4 hour shifts quite often. I'm PRN and they know they can call me for 7-11 am. It is hard to give a good report because I don't get a chance to know my patients. Also, you end up...

  17. Bossy Unit Clerks

    NancyRN replied to NancyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll say it again: just because your job is hard ( mine isn't?) there's no reason to be rude. The Unit Clerk I was describing was out of order. I can't understand the defensive attitudes of some...

  18. A unit clerk tells all!

    NancyRN replied to FRN24's topic in General Nursing

    I was venting here about a unit clerk who was clearly obnoxious, and who adds to the stress on my already stressful telemetry unit. I see no need for every unit clerk who happens to read this board to...

  19. Nursing Commercial Ideas

    NancyRN replied to Sleepyeyes's topic in General Nursing

    Before I went to nursing school, I didn't realize there were specialties. I had no idea that a cardiac nurse wouldn't know all there was to know about delivering a baby. Isn't that odd? Nobody...

  20. Bossy Unit Clerks

    NancyRN replied to NancyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL about the broom! Thanks for the input,

  21. Bossy Unit Clerks

    NancyRN replied to NancyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nobody ever said Unit Coordinators don't work hard, but a unit clerk should not add to the stress on an already stressful unit. Nobody should, but the unit clerk has no license to lose if a patient...

  22. How Soon Should APS Be Called?

    NancyRN replied to jschut's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can't see how the husband could have the daughter arrested. The police won't just arrest people because someone points at them and says "Arrest her!" He'd have to get a restraining order against...

  23. Substance Abuse/Detox Nursing Forum ???

    NancyRN replied to Mama Val's topic in General Nursing

    Cheerfuldoer, your upbeat posts have always been an inspiration to me! Now I find out they're drug induced! Seriously, have you thought about a regular exercise program? There is new research which...

  24. Bossy Unit Clerks

    NancyRN replied to NancyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok...got up my courage and called my Nurse Manager and asked for a meeting. She said ok can you come in 15 mins early tomorrow? I have some concerns anyway. Then she proceeded to blindside me with...

  25. Bossy Unit Clerks

    NancyRN replied to NancyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    yup. They're all fine...that's why they're in the hospital Hahaha! Gonna USE this
