    Should BSNs be paid more?

    live4today replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the comparison between nurses vs. police officers training because police officers do not graduate from college in order to become police officers........they graduate from a training...

    live4today replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    NO NO NO NO NO DIFFERENTIAL....NO...NADA!!! Education is a reward in an of itself. Having a diploma, an associate degree in nursing, or a bachelors in nursing does NOT a nurse make...........passing...

    It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    live4today replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Whaaaa??? In that case, I would have told them to see their personal physician for prescription meds because that is not within your scope of practice to medicate people without a doctor's order...

    To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    live4today replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    I sure hope so because I've been researching such a place since April...all while being out of work. I'd rather die than be walked on ever again.

    It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    live4today replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I sure hope you did NOT honor those stupid requests. The only ones that I read that sound "nurse necessary" were fetching her the percocet and documenting her level of pain, and following up on her in...

    Will they make her cut her hair?

    live4today replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Okay...then embrace her as she is and invite her for a woman to woman "heartfelt" talk in regards to her unclean hair. As a nurse, we often times must do this with our patients, and yes...sometimes...

    Will they make her cut her hair?

    live4today replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    BINGO!!! I agree completely! Just because someone is "uncomfortable" with the way another person chooses to style their hair doesn't mean it should be banned from clinical sites or any other work...

    To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    live4today replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    Oh don't I know that line all too well. In 2003, I was told the same thing about the unit I ended up deciding to give a "chance at" working on. BIG mistake! I "revolved" myself right on out of there...

    Discouraged about my return to nursing...

    live4today replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    Their rudeness has nothing to do with the fact that they are nurses, but has to do with their bad character and bad treatment of people. The solution lies in finding out WHY they behave in such a way...

    live4today replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in an environment like that a couple of years ago. I quit that job. I'm sick and tired of working in "kindergarten" environments where the tattling and the backstabbing take place. I deserve...

    Thumbs up to the advice "SunStreak" just gave you, DYates,RN. It's the exact advice that I would have given you. Do NOT risk your new career as a nurse by working at a place that treats its new grads...

    Wedding rings that sit "high" up vs. gloves

    live4today replied to fyrelight74's topic in General Nursing

    That happened to me during my first marriage. I was scrubbing in to go into OR to observe a case. I did not notice that the diamond had fallen out until much later in the day. Never did recover the...

    Wedding rings that sit "high" up vs. gloves

    live4today replied to fyrelight74's topic in General Nursing

    The diamonds or stones on rings often cause tears in the gloves, so it's not good to wear rings under the gloves. I know this from experience. Also, even when performing care for patients that does...

    You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    When I think of all the things women have been told over the centuries and beyond that time, it makes me think women were never supposed to be worthy of any good thing. Even menstruating had society...

    Are small jokes accepted?

    live4today replied to brazuca's topic in General Nursing

    I never teased with a patient until I became a LEGAL registered nurse...not as a student. Once a nurse, I would tease with patients who I knew had a silly disposition like myself. The more experienced...
