  2. Assertive with your providers.

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for tips. Not sure when I will work with doc again but I'm def going to nip this. There's a huge difference between a doc getting mad, and personal attacks. It was a good learning experience....

  3. I need help vs do it for me

    Sassy5d posted a topic in Emergency

    Maybe it's the weather, maybe I'm just a grouch but I noticed lately that several nurses are notorious for asking for help with something and what it actually is is them just wanting you to do it for...

  4. an RN is a practicing Jehovah's witness

    Sassy5d replied to strawberryrnc1611's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I did, however, work with a nurse who refused flu shot stating it's against Jw faith... I am not Jw expert, but I married one after he was excommunicated from the church. So I do have a minor base of...

  5. Disgusted

    Sassy5d replied to kaypyn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    While nurses are in the business of caring for humans, including rapists, murders, drug addicts. Just because they come here and unleash their frustrations with other folk who can commiserate with...

  6. I need help vs do it for me

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    Sometimes I think to myself how much thought must go into this approach. If you would just do it yourself! It seems to be the newer nurses off orientation.. Like did I miss a class that instructed...

  7. an RN is a practicing Jehovah's witness

    Sassy5d replied to strawberryrnc1611's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I do find it interesting that a jw would demand a holiday off, especially since they do not celebrate holidays (religious), even birthdays. I would raise an eyebrow at a person who demands holidays...

  8. Giving Report

    Sassy5d replied to BoyNamedSue's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  10. Writing a new policy

    Sassy5d replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Emergency

    The problems with policies are there are case by case, nursing judgements. If someone is si/hi it's a given their belongings are inventoried and removed. Depending on pt, I may let them keep their...

  12. Fake crying and bad acting in the ER

    Sassy5d replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Did anyone mention how you can be watching at the triage window.. Where you can see outside the hospital.. How the pts walk into the ER, and you then witness them turn on their acting? Oh they can't...

  13. Why do you want to leave your job?

    Sassy5d posted a topic in Emergency

    I know this prob should be asked in the interview forum but I thought I might be able to get advice from my friends here. I'm dabbing at the thought of getting a new ER job. Prior to er, it was easy...

  14. Any RN's available to answer questions?

    Sassy5d replied to Sasha13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The formatting of your post is all off for me. Maybe 'cuz I'm mobile but I can't even read your

  15. Oh, honey.

    Sassy5d replied to IrishErin's topic in Emergency

    That's great!! I always get a kick out of 'I was just walking down the street, minding my own business when this guy jumped out and shot me in the face' I had a guy with multiple lacs to the back say...

  16. Satisfaction scores

    Sassy5d posted a topic in Emergency

    I've seen the first wave of management getting pressure for low scores, not getting raises and so they are coming down on us. Realistically, how do you raise satisfaction scores? Especially in this...

  20. Difference in pay between Cleveland clinic and University Hospital

    Sassy5d replied to geminiBSN75's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm curious about the health insurance packages between the 2. I know Ccf is pretty much 100% covered if you go through a Ccf doc. Anyone care to add about uh's

  21. Satisfaction scores

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    I wonder what people would think/do if all the hospitals that people complained about just closed. It's a possibility. I've seen it. Then it was just 'not fair' that it was closed. Removing access...

  22. curious about emergency nurse skills

    Sassy5d replied to meeky71's topic in Emergency

    The board of nursing gives you a scope and then a facility fine tunes these. For instance, ohio board allows me to obtain samples for stool occult and run the test, but my facility policy is that this...

  23. Patients who want to be admitted for minor things

    Sassy5d replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Spin off: why do I become so annoyed when someone has a simple lac with simple sutures and I tell them to f/u with a doctor, a walk in clinic, a free clinic ect to have the sutures removed and they...

  24. My impressions on the ER so far

    Sassy5d replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    I laugh when I try to call report. The er only has a clock when you're timing labs or a critical pt. otherwise, we have no existence of time. Sorry that you just walked in, or you just got an admit....

  25. That certain odor on some patients and their visitors

    Sassy5d replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Lol I'm still laughing at white trashy-tattoo looking. While it's judgmental, nobody can deny it's spot on. Is everyone with that appearance hawking their grandmothers stove for a hit of meth? No but...
