  1. blackmail by hospital

    Teshiee replied to poppyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be a slave to a job. You have thankless management. Like the others said on this thread, experience is golden you can go anywhere. Never kiss a job's ass. Screw them. You do not live your...

  2. How are you supposed to answer the phone?

    Teshiee replied to MRed94's topic in General Nursing

    I say, NICU this is leticia, may I help you? simple and sweet no

  3. Per diem questions

    Teshiee replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    Per diem is great for me. I make more money and depending on our census we may float. Since we have literally no night shift staff I have been pulling full time hours. Not comitted to do so but...

  4. Are you afraid to approach minority staff members? WHY?

    Teshiee replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Jude!!! Honestly anyone who has been in a diverse culture is really blessed because it adds so much spice to the health profession. I really love to see a mixture of people. You learn so...

  5. Are you afraid to approach minority staff members? WHY?

    Teshiee replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing that chaps my hide is when someone assumes I am a CNA because of my color. I don't have to say a word just walk in the presence of some ignorant people and they assume otherwise. If you...

  6. Culturally sensitive nursing--questions

    Teshiee replied to dianacs's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to say it depends on the culture itself. I work in California so I can see where cultural diversity plays a major role in our practice. I remember reading a book on different cultures it...

  7. Making it through Nursing School with Children

    Teshiee replied to mommyrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The kids really wouldn't be the problem it would more likely be the spouses. Children are resilient you can break it down with kids and they would be more understanding. Husbands, boyfriends oh man!...

  8. opening up nursing the profession to spanish speakers?

    Teshiee replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of you but when you step in the hospital in America the language is English it is a real bonus to have a second, third, or even fourth language but it still doesn't dismiss the fact...

  9. opening up nursing the profession to spanish speakers?

    Teshiee replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    I agree to some point. But accomodating another language to get by I do not. If you are from another country and do not have the grasp of knowing the medical terms and procedures then it is up that...

  10. are doctors more valued then nurses?

    Teshiee replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    Doctors are valued more simply because our society still has the notion they are GODS. I know both professions their is hard work involved. Even though nurses have so much power and has yet to use...

  11. are doctors more valued then nurses?

    Teshiee replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I would have to agree. Based on our society doctors are on pedestals, like they can do no wrong nor kill their patients. It has been my experience the less you do the more you make....

  12. narcotic theft investigation

    Teshiee replied to sunny1973's topic in General Nursing

    It is true some places treat you like you are in fort knox if a narc is missing. I remember I was a ward clerk in L&D, and there was demerol missing. It came out to be a very reputable nurse....

  13. LVNs and NICU

    Teshiee replied to NJS's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My initial training in NICU there were LVN's they did 1:3's growers and feeders and was usually floated out if we didn't have any. Unfortunately it does depend on the acute care facility you work...

  14. Broken Sterile Technique?

    Teshiee replied to nurse deb's topic in General Nursing

    I had to take care of a quadriplegic and when we cath the patient we did not use sterile catheter but a clean one. Homehealth and acute care is so different. Realistically you should use sterile I...

  15. LPNs and advanced certifications

    Teshiee replied to norinradd's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what LVN/LPN's are feeling but unfortunately this country is credential crazy. You can have all the certificates and degrees but if you do not have that RN they don't acknowledge it. It...

    Teshiee replied to Nicunurse_RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Congradulations! :) I know it seems overwhelming but you will be suprised how well you pick up things. Ask a lot of questions don't be shy. My orientation was great. I loved the staff for being...

  17. RN signatures after LPN's

    Teshiee replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    That is utter bull ****. LPN/LVN can give meds so my question how do you give pain med don't you have to assess the pain? It is double standard that makes a life of a LVN/LPN hell do this but not...

  21. Nurses negligent in Minnesota

    Teshiee replied to smg's topic in General Nursing

    This is tragic! But like I always say cover your azz! Even if he did or not died resulting from the Morphine they did not do any assessing of the patient's vital signs prior or after administration....

  22. A unit clerk tells all!

    Teshiee replied to FRN24's topic in General Nursing

    I like to say welcome and I can relate. I posted in the bossy unit clerk thread because I was a unit clerk in Labor and Delivery and you can imagine how busy it can be. Some nurses were helpful but...

  23. 200 lb MONSTER!

    Teshiee replied to Furball's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! It was incredible. I saw the blood vessels some of the tumor was attached too. Purely amazing. I guess after the tumor having a large wound like that was the next big potential problem. Our...

  24. Bossy Unit Clerks

    Teshiee replied to NancyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't understand why that unit clerk is still working at your facility. All it takes is one lousy one to ruin it for all. When I worked as a unit clerk the nurses knew when I came it was going to...

  25. Bossy Unit Clerks

    Teshiee replied to NancyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was a unit clerk for 4 years while going to nursing school and I understand what clerks have to contend with. In L&D there were some RN's who thought their feces had a rosey aroma and felt it...
