  1. Making it through Nursing School with Children

    Teshiee replied to mommyrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I always believed that people who stayed at home with parents should have an A+ gpa. Instead I am finding many women w/responsibilities doing it very well. You should be so proud of yourself....

  2. too much stress in Med -Surg?

    Teshiee replied to Kayzee's topic in General Nursing

    I would'nt do med/surg if it was 89$ an hour. Too much patient load, work, and uneccessary due stress. My hat is off to med/surg nurses you guys are

  3. Nursing, No Longer A White Woman's Job?

    Teshiee replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    Again, not reality only perception. I will agree nursing has brought more opportunities for women from all walks of life. And some women of different ethnic groups whether they are black, white,...

  4. "Bad" Evaluation..I'm So Frustrated and ready to quit!!

    Teshiee replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    That is one of the problems why we can't get decent staff. The problem nurses cut their nose to spite their face. I totally understand what you are going through and what the nurses are telling you...

  7. Wage compression

    Teshiee replied to OC_An Khe's topic in General Nursing

    Frustrating! Wage compression=work compression they wouldn't like that very much. They do what we allow them to

  8. Benefits vs no benefits. I have a ? for ya.

    Teshiee replied to st4304's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals are a business just like anything else. The bottom line is that ole mighty dollar. I work and buy my own insurance. My employers insurance suck why should I pay for something I do not...

  9. Rude Colleague??

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

    It is no so much what you say it is how you say it what people pick up real fast. Non verbal communication is a biggie. Nurses are human and we are in the human business I know if someone is...

  10. Do Day Nurses Really Feel that Night Nurses Do Nothing All Night?

    Teshiee replied to Brita01's topic in General Nursing

    I think both shift works very hard. Perception is not reality. There are days when the dayshift can kick back and when night shift is running like crazy. When I get report from dayshift I can tell...

  11. What do you do to get past the 2am slump

    Teshiee replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

  12. What do you do to get past the 2am slump

    Teshiee replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

    My slump kicks around 3am. It is hard sometimes. Depending where I am working I take a quick power nap or walk around to stay awake. It is funny because when I am off from work I wake up at 3am...

    Teshiee replied to old-master's topic in Texas Nursing

    This is really terrrible but like AlexandraRN why did he kill his wife was there a domestic violent dispute in the past? This is so sad noone deserves to die like that. As far as guns people kill...

  14. Iwant to quit my job

    Teshiee replied to T.Bird's topic in General Nursing

    I think the only thing you can do is give a 2 week notice that is ample time for them to find a replacement. Your whole well being is far important than stressing over burning their bridges. Life is...

  15. Night shift nurses are lazy and NICU isn't real nursing!

    Teshiee replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a bunch of player hating individuals who do not have a clue about NICU. If they knew what we do they would realize that NICU babies work in stages with the final outcome being a grower...

  16. Getting stuck

    Teshiee replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say when in doubt cover thy self. Even if it was a near poke get tested anyway. Your health is no joke. As for that charge nurse she should be reprimanded for that. Never take chances on...

  17. Wage compression

    Teshiee replied to OC_An Khe's topic in General Nursing

    That is pitiful the only way I see myself getting a higher wage is changing my status to perdiem or working

  18. How do you deal with a patient slapping you?

    Teshiee replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

    I agree documentation is the mightier than the sword. I was working in a nursing home and a woman socked me dead in my mouth. My first instinct was to knock her silly but I did not. I just told her...

  19. ob to med surg

    Teshiee replied to tmf1202's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like that attitude that nurse is just a nurse but that is not true. You can't float me to L&D I have no clue. Just like an OB nurse going into NICU. Orientation doesn't mean squat just...

    Teshiee replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

  21. RN to MD....possible or not?

    Teshiee replied to zinacef's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Kaycee you would be a better MD because you were a nurse first!!!!!! That is so

  22. RN to MD....possible or not?

    Teshiee replied to zinacef's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a woman she was a RN for 10 years and became a MD. The nurse advisor was trying to HATE! What does your heart and soul tell you to do? Go for it. Good luck keep us

  23. Do you watch Medical shows?

    Teshiee replied to old-master's topic in General Nursing

    I watch the discovery channel med shows. They are rather informative. Especially Maternity ward and Nicu. It is nice to see what parts of this country is doing. As for the Hollywood drama...

  24. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    Teshiee replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

  25. Lethal injection nurse???

    Teshiee replied to Zhakrin's topic in General Nursing

    Many of us don't like the fact MA'S are doing things that licensed nurses should be doing! But when a proposal of having a RN to do something of this magnitude some say let the MA's do it! Why don't...
