  1. Charge nurse has an attitude...

    Evangeline2000 replied to 2shihtzus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Throwing books isn't acceptable behavior. Of course you take the insinuation personally, you sound like you care about the patients. Just move on and know you're worth your weight in

  2. Why do Nurses do this?

    Evangeline2000 replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Walk up to them and say, "Excuse me, but I have an abnormal BP you need to know about." Whatever they're talking about is secondary to the patient's abnormal BP. Be assertive for the patients,...

  3. Why did you fail Nursing school?

    Evangeline2000 replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't fail but it was very stressful. But good preparation for the actual world of nursing, I suppose! Good

  4. Sheez! She's back and venting AGAIN!!

    Evangeline2000 replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    I was just reading over the thread and saw where you said you aren't allowed to enter the orders, but rather, the charge nurse is supposed to tend to that. Sounds like the home team dropped the...

  5. Regular staff members are so snotty to me, the traveler

    Evangeline2000 replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    LOL, this thread reminds me of the "us vs. them" mentality we just got lectured about on another thread.....I've NEVER felt animosity towards travel nurses when I was staff, and I've done travel...

  6. NLC (Nurse Licensure Compact) Question - HELP!

    Evangeline2000 replied to alkaleidi's topic in Travel

    It appears from your profile that you live in Illinois. Illinois isn't a compact state. You cannot do nursing with a compact license, unless your legal residence is in a compact state. You can't...

  7. Sheez! She's back and venting AGAIN!!

    Evangeline2000 replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...travel nurse as "houseguest?" I must be weird. I never felt like travel nurses on the unit are "guests" who have to kowtow to the "family." I was glad to have them there, just figured...

  8. Sheez! She's back and venting AGAIN!!

    Evangeline2000 replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't see the awful crime here....you got exasperated because there was a four-hour delay getting the "now" order - but you DIDN'T attack anyone personally, so what was so bad? Sounds like...

  9. the meanie struck again

    Evangeline2000 replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know, you really shouldn't HAVE TO endure 8 hours of harrassment. I'd probably just tell her, plainly, to SHUT UP because I didn't want to hear her

  10. How to deal with coworker during report?

    Evangeline2000 replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite question: "Which arm is her IV in?" (Why, so you won't have to check it?) My answer: "Well, it's either in the right or the

  11. lazy mean assistants

    Evangeline2000 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, this is the rule, rather than the

  12. "Did you report her?"

    Evangeline2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, amazing. She treated a patient like trash, and she wasn't even sorry, yet kept her job??? She must have been awfully certain she wouldn't be

  13. nursing career switch...help!!

    Evangeline2000 replied to RFA158's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh, I think you should definitely do the med-surg! That's tailor-made! How wonderful to get an opportunity to do the exact thing you will be teaching. And you will have all the latest information,...

  14. incapable, helpless, unmotivated, unteachable pts who are unable to cope with life

    Evangeline2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me the OP did everything humanly possible to assist this lady. You CANNOT force people to act the way you think they should act. She deserves credit for the help she gave the

  15. Disrespect

    Evangeline2000 replied to Wife of Spinner's topic in General Nursing

    If you request vitals, you should not have to justify, or explain, to the NA why you want/need them now. They should get them first, and ask questions later. I haven't seen any disrespect from nurses...

  16. Giving report-rude nurse

    Evangeline2000 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Giving report to someone like this is the worst part of nursing. If it ever happens to me again, I am *not* going to take it, ignore it, or "try to figure out how to deal with it."..... I'm going to...

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

    Evangeline2000 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, direct communication never hurt anybody...it's the people who you cannot figure out what they're talking about that give me

  18. Is it wrong to do the right thing? (long)

    Evangeline2000 replied to k.lvn.mom's topic in General Nursing

    That is a GREAT post!!!

  19. How would you have dealt with this situation...

    Evangeline2000 replied to 1hotRN601's topic in General Nursing

    I have found it to be very, very difficult throughout my career to get some of these lazy, worthless CNAs to DO THEIR JOBS. They want me to not only do my job; but theirs, as well.

  20. Any Western Kentucky nurses?

    Evangeline2000 replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    Has anybody worked at Jackson Purchase Medical Center? Or Parkway Regional in

  21. Best area's of Tucson

    Evangeline2000 replied to eugenia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Go as far north from the hospital as you can, staying within a reasonable commute

  22. DON said mean things about me...which I overheard.

    Evangeline2000 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Rock on. You're busting butt taking care of those kids. She doesn't deserve a minute of your time. Go on and do your job with your head held

  23. From Med-Surg Telemetry to Doctor's Office - how to change?

    Evangeline2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I work Med-Surg Telemetry. I am wondering about switching to working in a doctor's office - I really think I would like it - predictable hours, etc. Has anyone gone from hospital nursing to...

  24. Hourly rate for RN/Charge

    Evangeline2000 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just wondering what you think is the "average" hourly pay rate for an RN with 5 or 6 years med-surg experience - what should you expect to make hourly as a RN charge in LTC?

  25. My Pre-grad Clinical has deteriorated into Hell On Earth

    Evangeline2000 replied to Gaelic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've never heard of a situation like this in my life. Maybe nursing school has changed but when I went to nursing school and did clinicals, we were watched like HAWKS and supervised CONSTANTLY. We...
