In a NYsecond, I would leave, but while I am still in it I am giving 110%. BTW, it is not getting me anywhere with the new crowd of nurses, new thinking Gen X nurses. Where did this group come from? I would say 1 out of 5 have made it on our unit. D...

RANT: I resent the 1-10 pain scale. we have to "ASK" which in my opinion is a "PROMPT" " on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst pain you ever have experienced, what is your pain now?" Of course the answer is 10/10. NOW I don't ask..... I chart wha...
