    From real good to real bad overnite

    dream'n replied to Hospice RNCM's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds almost like they have gotten a directive from above to cut costs way down. They replace the administration, now they are trying to get the MedAides out and they have increased your patient...

    PLEASE read. I need help!

    dream'n replied to heavenly14313's topic in General Nursing

    Hugs to you honey. Wow, what an emotional thing to have happen to you. Can't you continue to visit him on a personal basis? Sounds like a HIPAA violation, and I completely agree that you need to do...

    Wow

    dream'n posted a topic in Emergency

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all of the ER nurses. I spent most of yesterday and the night in the ER with a family member and I hadn't been in one for quite a few years. Wow, what an...

    Wow

    dream'n replied to dream'n's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for the replies. Mom has been admitted and is already doing much better. It's funny because when I first started nursing school years ago my dream was to be one of you guys, so experienced...

    Horrible Dream!

    dream'n replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL. I've had THE dreams too. Usually have my worst nightmares while napping for some reason. I dreamt of work all weekend, in one I yelled and screamed at my boss like an insane woman. That one...

    Peer Evaluations

    dream'n replied to GeminiTwinRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like them at all. I think they can create an uneasiness between staff if not very carefully handled. I've seen staff lose confidence in their co-workers because of them. And I am not a...

    dream'n replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    My mother does this all the time, always tells medical personel, "please meet my two daughters they're both nurses"....My sister and I want to crawl in a hole. I've asked my mom not to do it, but she...

    how many nurses did not like being a CNA?

    dream'n replied to dari98's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a darn good nurse if I say so myself, but I would never want to be a CNA. Bless the CNAs that enjoy their job, I could never do it

    Resignation letter

    dream'n replied to kanny's topic in General Nursing

    I personally try not to burn bridges (even when I really want to.) I usually write something simple like this: To Whom It May Concern, Please accept this as my letter of resignation. My final...

    Nurses at the State of the Union Address

    dream'n replied to MollyMel's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps I am a bit cynical, but with the healthcare system in the shape it is in and the fact that it is a big issue this election, I'm not surprised President Bush had nurses there. Maybe he wants...

    fingerprints for hospitals??

    dream'n replied to gesofs's topic in General Nursing

    Never been fingerprinted, except to transfer my license to another state years ago. I guess I wouldn't really care if it was the last step to being hired, but I wouldn't want do it just to

    Disrespectful Employees

    dream'n replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    My . I don't know the nurse in question or her tone of voice, but personally I don't think she needs written up. From my perspective-I worked in a position not too long ago that was impossible. Now...

    Culture Change In LTC?

    dream'n replied to RN 4 Life's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    How lovely it sounds. But if LTC is the same as it was when I was working in it, we need to focus on fixing the basic, most important problems first. Redunant paperwork, high turnover and ratios,...

    Which would you rather do?

    dream'n replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I prefer 5-eights. I think with 3-12's, I would work say 7-7 with a one hour drive, so basically I'd be away from home from 6-8 (if no over-time) three days a week. I just couldn't do...

    Your Not Gonna Believe This!!

    dream'n replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I believe it, I'm so NOT surprised and will leave it at that. I don't think reporting her to TPTB at the hospital is a good idea, she probably got the edict to do such a thing from them (they want...

    Is Joint Commission more hindrance than help?

    dream'n replied to oldiebutgoodie's topic in General Nursing

    I was truly shocked a few years ago when I found out that they are not a government run group, but a private company (in fairness I will add that they are non-profit) that has now progressed to...

    Smoking And Nurses

    dream'n replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    I am a smoker, and I work with patients that can be sensitive to smoke. So I do not smoke at work at all, I do not smoke in my car, I do not smoke in my home, and I never smoke after showering before...

    "You put me and my unborn child's life at risk"

    dream'n replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I guess since she is pregnant you are her health screener now? Where I used to work the Dr., when pregnant, was smart enough to look out for HERSELF and get a physician collegue to exam a patient...

    Patient Confidentiality...

    dream'n replied to CABG patch kid's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. HIPPA (or is it HIPAA? I've learned how to spell it a thousand times only to forget in 5 minutes, all I ever remember is Healthcare Insurance Portability something, something) is a...

    dream'n replied to runnernurse487's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure I understand all of your post, but a few things stuck out to me. I know you were stressed and the covering Dr. was stressed, but that is no reason to be short with Home Health for calling at...

    Smoking And Nurses

    dream'n replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    Wait a minute. You can't have it both ways....You state that nurses shouldn't smoke on the clock because of the offensive smell to the sick patients, but then you go on to say that it is o.k. for the...

    Puzzled.

    dream'n replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse that asks an aide to toilet someone, clean someone, etc. is NOT asking a favor, she is asking the aide to do the job they are there for. Of course it is important for the nurse to be...

    Who would you take a verbal order from?

    dream'n replied to longhornfan1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So is the BON pursuing this? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying that the Dr. doesn't want bothered after hours by being on-call, so he hired this LPN to do it for him? Instead of having...
