  1. I dont handle lazy aides well

    Medic/Nurse replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    2nd POST on this thread. I went back and re-read my first post and I left something out. There are LAZY aides and LAZY everything else. No one job title is worse than another - there are also lazy...

  2. I dont handle lazy aides well

    Medic/Nurse replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Wow - what a thread! To the OP - You are CORRECT in that you do not handle things well. I think that you may have legitimate issues, however - I am not too sure that your "methods" of resolution are...

  3. WHY are some PCT's so bitter towards new RN's???

    Medic/Nurse replied to inteRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it is just too hard to play nice and be respectful for some people. Folks tend to do what works for them - I'd make the environment one where bad behavior was not tolerated from either

  6. Narcotic Wasting Mistake

    Medic/Nurse replied to macbelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Get a LAWYER. Now. If possible get a nurse lawyer and then (this is the hard part) SHUT UP. Do not discuss this any further - do not try and defend yourself except as instructed by your LAWYER. I...

  7. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    Medic/Nurse replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    40K for working as a nurse in the nursing climate of today - no freakin way. No No No Now if the healthcare nirvana bill gets passed and - 1. Me and my family has free healthcare. (Currently my...

  9. What do you do with a problem supervisor?

    Medic/Nurse replied to RuRnurse?'s topic in General Nursing

  10. Uniform Question For Seasoned Nurses...

    Medic/Nurse replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

  14. How do you position a pt who has ICP and is hypotensive?

    Medic/Nurse replied to beachbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    ICP and hypotension is a BAD combo! Any systolic drop under 90 dramatically increases the chance of death. CPP is BP dependent. HOB elevation will be of little concern. The soon-to-follow bradycardia...

  15. Taking a Pay Cut

    Medic/Nurse replied to scrubbleuffagus08's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on a soon-to-be successful WIN of the nursing waiting game. You must be very determined. I think that perspective demands that you take a good look at where you are and where you are going....

    Medic/Nurse replied to goofygreyhound's topic in General Nursing
