  2. Do you enjoy TV surgical/medical shows?

    NurseShelly replied to MSJ2007's topic in General Nursing

  3. Hello Mr. VIP! I'm your servant nurse for the night!

    NurseShelly replied to SICU Queen's topic in General Nursing

    GOOD FOR YOU! I had a "VIP" pt. as well. I walked into his room shortly after seven, and he attempted to berate me for how bad the service was, the food, the temp, the soap ,the fact that we didn't...

  5. Upper Management

    NurseShelly replied to abbaking's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Patient care is 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I think someone needs to inform that Nsg. Admin. Rep. that pt's don't say "I think I'd like to code before 7pm." Anything can happen at anytime. I...

  6. What would you do?

    NurseShelly replied to JennieO's topic in General Nursing

    I think her behavior is a little strange. I find it hard to believe that she works in the facility if she can leave her unit for 5-7hrs during her shift. Shouldn't she have been paged overhead or...

  10. Do nurses only "eat their young" in certain departments?

    NurseShelly replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with GeekyRN. I've only just started reading this book, and I would recommend it to anyone who has ever been, or currently finds themselves in a situation where they feel they're being...

  11. Privacy question

    NurseShelly replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    I think going this route may be even better than hashing it out with the hospital administration right now. The BON may move a little faster in investigating this and potentially getting you results...

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

    NurseShelly replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I really do want to apologize if I have offended anyone. I just don't get the feeling that the majority of these posts are an attempt to understand differences btn groups. They're more or less...

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

    NurseShelly replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    i too am shocked by the number of 20-somethings who seem to believe that they deserve (and should have) everything they want right now just because they want it. they don't want to put in their time...

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

    NurseShelly replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious as to why this thread seems to be turning into complaints about people in their 20's. I've met people of all ages from all walks of life, and I'm surprised at the 50-somethings who don't...

    NurseShelly replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds great. Congrats on your weight loss. I'm planning on having my cholesterol checked. The hospital where I work is having cholesterol screenings. In addition to losing weight I want to...

  20. 8 hr shifts vs. 12 hr shift

    NurseShelly replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I prefer 12hr shifts to 8hr's. Just for me, I feel too rushed when I do work an eight. I work days so I'm wondering if that makes a difference too. Plus, 12hr shifts mean more days off during the...

  21. IVs.... When will I be good at this?

    NurseShelly replied to TigerGalLE's topic in First Year After Licensure

    These techniques all sound great to me. I've been unsuccessful in placing IV's too, everyone blows! I always feel like such an idiot when I have to go get help, esp. when the next nurse gets it one...

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

    NurseShelly replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Newbie doesen't always equal a GenXer. My mother was 48 years old when she went back to school to become an RN and that was almost 10 years ago. My mother is still working on the same unit where she...

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

    NurseShelly replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Perception is everything. Myrtle may have truly felt that Hortense was rough on her. Hortense may have felt that she was only saying what Myrtle needed to hear in order to help her. Myrtle may not...

  25. Why do nurses eat their young?

    NurseShelly replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because it keeps happening. It's unfortunate, but it's the truth. Luckily, I had a really good preceptor, and a positive experience for the most part over the past year. However, I've been witness...
