  1. I went off on a family member...and I don't feel bad about it.

    DebRN06 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to say something along that line when it is someone that will not stop asking after I have already explained. What kills me are the family members that will call about a pt that is A&Ox3....

  2. Pizza on tuesday

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Had a unit meeting last week. It ended up being a 3 HOUR complain-fest. The director opened it up saying we have had a lot of complaints from MD's, pts and families. She wanted to know from our point...

  4. Med School 101

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    a few of us were talking at the rn station (nothing to do with work) and someone says, "it's not my fault." md looks up and says in a robot-voice... "it is always the nurse's fault...med school...

  5. Pizza on tuesday

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I nearly bit my tongue off making sure I didn't let that one out of my mouth. I really, really wanted to say that...and now wish I would have. Everything that was said in that meeting is nothing new...

  6. I want her fired!!!!

    DebRN06 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't it be fun if she sued him for

  7. How do you get through YOUR day?

    DebRN06 replied to epsilonprodigy's topic in General Nursing

    I repeatedly remind myself I have a mortgage I have to pay... I'm afraid if I did not do that, I would end up throwing a huge fit, say the things I would love to say, leave and not care about losing...

  8. Clock out by 8am or get reprimanded!!!

    DebRN06 replied to RnM21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We have this, too. They had been putting papers in our mailboxes where we had to write reasons why we were past 7:30AM/PM. I always wrote, "NOT STAFFED PROPERLY OR ACCORDING TO ACUITY." For some...

  9. Bedside Report...

    DebRN06 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    They are trying to implement this at my hospital. Getting/giving report can already take an hour (sometimes more). Night Rns often have 3-4 day Rns to give report to and days can have 2-3. There is no...

  10. Debunking the night shift myths

    DebRN06 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Seen the night shifts' "buffee" at both places I have worked. My last job was nights. Now am days, but have picked up a few night shifts. Neither shift is easy. That is for sure. I, for one, could not...

  11. Her perfume stinks!!

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am really sensitive to certain smells... flowery perfumes, vanilla (especially candles) and (weird) microwave popcorn. Often, they make me physically ill ...sweaty, nauseated, dizzy and headaches....

  12. Preparing to present grievances to heads of hospital

    DebRN06 replied to WhatTheDeuce's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also on tele. We get 5 pts and PCT's have anywhere from 12-16 normally. Although our delusional manager says they only have 8-9. We have been preparing a letter (for awhile) to send to CEO, but...

  13. Her perfume stinks!!

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I thank God the sensitivities I have are as minor as they are. I do not often have issues. I worked in salons/spas before becoming a nurse. I never had a problem. I was around all sorts of wonerfully,...

  14. Why do people abuse nurses?

    DebRN06 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I was looking for the case CaseyGirl mentioned...didn't find it, but found this site http://www.stopviolenceagainstnurses.com/4.html I knew a nurse that had her sternum broken from a pt kicking her. I...

  15. Her perfume stinks!!

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I feel bad for her pts, too. We don't often have post-ops, but many COPD'ers. She says none have EVER complained so she will not stop. I even told her one RN, when I was in labor w/ my son, was...

  16. You have GOT to be kidding me!

    DebRN06 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    DebRN06 replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    They're at our facility all week, too...and yes, panties are all in a bunch. My favorite part is how CLEAN the unit is...I never knew housekeeping had so many employees...or that they did anything...

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    for the first time yesterday i was yelled at by a doc. i have been "waiting" for this day because i was really worried about how i would end up responding, but i am so proud of myself for not losing...

  19. Upset about being yelled at by MD (long)

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...it is childish. This was at the start, when I was still in "shock" that I was getting reamed for something I shouldn't be. Admittedly I am (at times) stubborn and prefer to have the last...

  20. Nurses writing up nurses?

    DebRN06 replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you. I wish incidence reports could/would be written up for every "little" thing. Who has the time though?? I swear I could add another 2 hrs daily writing them. I just don't...

  21. What's the dumbest thing you ever got called on the carpet for?

    DebRN06 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    The charge RN came up to me, in the middle of an exceptionally stressful day, and tells me, "The pt in room XXX had all these complaints during my rounds. This has to be fixed NOW." The complaints...

  22. Stupid things you've been called out of a pt's room for?

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

  23. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    DebRN06 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    "Discharge nurse (me) was great, but very busy and seemed overwhelmed." An actually good observation, would be nice if ALL the pts would write things like this ... but ends up coming down on me...

  24. Does this sound familiar? (very long)

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    i started a list of the things that bother me about my job/unit. this is only a portion of what i have. i apologize about length, but i did cut a lot out! it's a shame the way they treat us (and the...

  25. What Diagnosis Did your First Patient in Clinicals Have?

    DebRN06 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Acute renal failure. He was such a jerk. He threw his filled texas catheter at the RN I was with. It did miss her, but splashed everywhere. At one point, early in the day, he said to me, "my mom...
