  1. Not what I expected

    ittibittinurse replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard of a lazy nurse being a good nurse. Case management is stressful. Those nurses who work 3 years and go into case management or become nurse practitioners don't really k kW much or have...

  2. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    ittibittinurse replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting post. I was accused of hitting another nurse in a patient's room in front of a patient. This came from a new nurse who was put in a charge nurse position to visa around those of us who had...

  3. Why don't you just read the chart?

    ittibittinurse replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My hospital has the ER nurse, who has been caring for the patient, to bring the patient to whatever unit, the ER nurse has a report sheet(approved by the hospital) that is brought with the patient....

  4. Should I leave this racist town?

    ittibittinurse replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Leave and find a job where you feel comfortable. I have been a nurse for many years and have been through racism(only white nurse in a hospital with predominantly black nurses), sexism(doctors, male...

  5. University of Phoenix CEO quits

    ittibittinurse replied to Mavrick's topic in Nursing News

    I have advanced without any issues as well as many nurses who have UOP degrees...so your post is moot...apparently, you have not read all the posts on this thread because other online programs were...

  6. University of Phoenix CEO quits

    ittibittinurse replied to Mavrick's topic in Nursing News

    I obtained my MSN, which was my goal. Don't think I will pursue a doctorate. I have seen the online MSN nurse practitioner programs. Not sure I like them. Seems like the clinical aspect is lacking....

  8. University of Phoenix CEO quits

    ittibittinurse replied to Mavrick's topic in Nursing News

    Your posts are interesting. I got my BSN from UOP years ago.Why? Because I lived in a rural area and the local nursing schools lost their accreditation in their undergraduate programs and graduate...

  9. Why did you retire or become inactive?

    ittibittinurse replied to dlatimer's topic in Retired Nurses

    I quit nursing for five years to care for my parents. During that process, I became ill myself, but soldiered on caring for them and for myself. I finally decided to go back to nursing. I finished by...

  10. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    ittibittinurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm one of those older nurses you refer to in your post. I don't really care about your BSN, your ADN....when you hit the door as a new nurse...young or old...I want some respect. Your post, in my...

  11. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    ittibittinurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with your comment about being mean being consistent. I work with two nurses in my new position that are just mean. They say they know they are that way and they think it is okay. So, since...

  12. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    ittibittinurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my new position( been here 5 months) in new facility(to me,...experienced nurseof over 20 years here), there is no partnership...it is a competition....don't know why....when I have patients who...

  14. Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

    ittibittinurse replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the problem I have with older ladies wanting to go back to nursing school...they don't have a concept of reality...Nursing school is not reality...where are the posts about the stay at home...

  15. Funny doctor orders

    ittibittinurse replied to laurenicoleRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Last week saw an order that read, "Daily weights...where are the daily weights?" Interesting...then my doctor boyfriend wrote an order that said, "PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, GIVE ANTIBIOTIC TO PATIENT...

  16. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    ittibittinurse replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    Read most of the posts. I agree that this nurse should not have posted that message. I think firing is appropriate. That being written, what is too stop an employer from firing someone who posts...

  17. What is your opinion on this matter?

    ittibittinurse replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like taking money from the poor either. You are a very ethical person for even wanting to take on this fight and the fact that you care is huge. Not many people want to fight "city hall" nor...

  18. Nurses Get No Respect

    ittibittinurse replied to KaroSnowQueen's topic in General Nursing

    I see alot of posts about flood nursing but critical care nursing has its issues. Staffing is not as it should be....no disrespect meant when I type this...but I can wing it with caring for floor...

  19. New grad starting on Neuro-tele unit... nervous!

    ittibittinurse replied to brina8615's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember that no question is a stupid question. Neuro patients sometimes have very subtle changes...and those subtle changes can be a big deal....so don't be afraid to let your charge nurse and...

  20. Are nurse's and physician's colleagues?

    ittibittinurse replied to kaliRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some docs have been colleagues and some have not. Just depends on the doc. Most of them value my nursing opinion and very few of them have actually tried to throw me under the bus....so I think the...

  21. Charting

    ittibittinurse replied to AlynnSN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting post. I actually cared for a patient recently who went blind during her admission. She was told she would be going blind over time about a month before her admission, but was unable to...

  22. UHGGGG!!!! DOCTORS!!!

    ittibittinurse replied to livinthedreamRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with Tyvin to a point...but remember culture is at play here...the culture of using abbreviations and the culture of nurses being like secretaries...also if nurses try to correct docs about this...

  23. Doctor's sharps!

    ittibittinurse replied to connieg's topic in Emergency

    I agree with with pedicurn....docs need to dispose of their own sharps. Some hospitals actually have that written in black and

  24. I am an American.

    ittibittinurse replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have had good and bad experiences with these types of doctors. Does this doctor probably care for his patients or is he mad because he does not know how to care for his patients and the nurses...

  25. Nurses Eating Their Young

    ittibittinurse replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses can be catty....but lawyers are not saints(writing this because you state you worked in a law firm)... both professions are stressful and hard work...gotta have thick skin to be work in health...
