    weekend work Harder?

    PMFB-RN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Depends a lot on what kind of unit you work on. CV ICU was usually much easier. We would have one or two emergency hearts but not the 5-8 scheduled hearts like on a weekday. ER and trauma ICU much...

    Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

    PMFB-RN replied to westieluv's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I too have been the person making the calls. If the people who calls demonstrated the same level of professionalism you do then there would be no need to block their number. As we have seen in this...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    PMFB-RN replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Absolutly not! I am at a loss as to how you can even wonder about that. Some people got the idea that when Bill gates mentioned reducing polulations through vaccines, good health, etc meant that he...

    Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

    PMFB-RN replied to westieluv's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL! Where is this faciliety? The 1990's? Or was this a long time ago? The easy way out of that is to not let them leave a message. That is very easy to do nowdays with smart

    Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

    PMFB-RN replied to westieluv's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope! I don't allow them to leave voice mails for me to listen to in the first place. Get the free app "Mr. Number". It allows you to effortlessly block and unblock numbers to your phone. If I block a...

    Male Nurse Interactions

    PMFB-RN replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    If its a case of a female patient who requests no men then I am not the least bothered. If its a case that she doesn't seem to care about male physicians and other staff but doesn't want a male nurse,...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    PMFB-RN replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Obviously I don't believe that is the purpose of vaccines. I am not an idiot. However it has been the case that vaccines and health care have slowed the rate of population growth in some areas. When...

    "hard science" requirements for RN's

    PMFB-RN replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that is quite obvious to me after reading your post #20. My comment was more aimed at some of these programs that require multiple semesters of hard sciences. The sciences you listed in post #20...

    "hard science" requirements for RN's

    PMFB-RN replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    I think the people who require nursing students to complete a bunch of hard science classes, I mean beyond a basic under standing of chemistry, and real A&P and micro classes, really have no idea...

    My ADN required one semester of general chemistry with lab (General Chemistry 101), micro bio with lab, A&P I & A&P II with labs, and pathophysology. For math either two semesters of...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    PMFB-RN replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Been awhile since I read anything about it but I am under the impression that the HPV vaccine underwent studies similar too and normal for other vaccines. LOL! I hope you aren't right. I shudder to...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    PMFB-RN replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    True story. I was working a travel assingment at a hospital with a brand spanking new open heart program. My job was to teach and assist the new-to-CV surgery nurses how to recover hearts. The surgeon...

    PMFB-RN replied to CCRNforlife's topic in General Nursing

    Then you are condeming yourself to low pay, high ratios and usually poor treatment by managment. One place that has everything you want, except below the Mason Dixon line (and it is about 3 miles...

    My sisters wedding is when I'm in my 1st year of nursing school?

    PMFB-RN replied to ateka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Too bad you are not already a nurse. In my experience wedding plans trump EVRYTHING when asking accommodation for time off. Other nurse's long help plans, purchased plane tickets, family events, all...

    yelled at by doctor at another patient bedside

    PMFB-RN replied to RadioJenn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's so sad and embarrassing to me whenever I hear about a nurse acting the doormat in the face of abusive and unacceptable physician behavior. Meekly accepting such behavior only encourages it...

    PMFB-RN replied to kgg6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think reality is that you work in a good system that happens to be Magnet. I have been handed 3x5 cards with preprinted answers Magnet surveyors questions. The cards came with threat to our jobs if...
