  3. Survey: Do you think hospitals should require a uniform code for nurses?

    Brita01 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    As somebody mentioned way back when, the topic is not whether hospitals should require a dress code. Places of business should have dress codes. The topic is should hospitals require a UNIFORM code...

  7. Nurses, Would you go into nursing if you had to do it all over again?

    Brita01 replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    My answer is no, because of unsafe staffing levels and the inability to care for my patients the way they deserve to be cared for. This, however, does not make me bitter, nor stop me from going out...

  13. nurses as the etcetera profession

    Brita01 replied to canoehead's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Me too! Even attempt it, and you get the old "somebody has to do it". But why would the hospital spend the money when they can just consider it 'other duties as assigned' in the nurse's job...

  14. Nurses in Other Professions

    Brita01 replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    I think many here who are unhappy have already stated the things that they're trying to do to get out of nursing AND have an income they can survive on at the same time. It's not practical to just...

    Brita01 replied to katie345's topic in General Nursing

    I used to use a sleeping mask. But when it started to become annoying, I put up dark curtains over the mini blinds. The room stays very dark. The next thing I will buy are lined curtains, to make...

  20. readers digest? nursing shortage!!!

    Brita01 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

  21. readers digest? nursing shortage!!!

    Brita01 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    Correct! And I don't see it changing soon at all. As long as the hospitals cry "nursing shortage" and the schools keep cranking out new nurses, there will always be one to take the place of a nurse...

    Brita01 replied to bedpan's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't sound like something a real nurse would suggest. It was probably written by a non-nurse. Question EACH and EVERY thing? By the time I get to my seventh patient at 11:00 with their 9:00...
