    Ethical or legal?

    RNAnnjeh replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    RNAnnjeh replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    When I was the nurse educator for a pediatric surgical unit, I had to review "proper attire" at each orientation session. You wouldn't believe the questions! My favourite...."what is considered...

    Not Nursing Related-- need advice from the people I know won't let me down --- LONG!

    RNAnnjeh replied to chasingthedream's topic in General Nursing

    I love therapeutic venting. Before the days of email I used to write letters. Forgot to rip one up once and the person who was stressing me out found it. Whoops. So, lesson learned. Now when I...

    "Uses call light extremely well"

    RNAnnjeh replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding! Now all I hear is my pager going off all the time. It has the same "beep beep" as a big truck with back-up lights on it. I swear I have jumped out of a dead sleep b/c I heard my pager...

    Trach Care Kits

    RNAnnjeh replied to OrionQuiltsRN's topic in General Nursing

    The pipe cleaners really grab the "gunk" that gets stuck to the inner cannula, or in the case of peds, the entire tube. They are small and flexible enough to slide through, and as aknottedyarn...

    what u don't like about nursing?

    RNAnnjeh replied to harlequin_chadwick's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'd have to say the thing that frustrates me the most is the amount of back-biting and cattiness among staff. So many issues/concerns could be addressed by asking a question instead of...

    Restraints too Tight?

    RNAnnjeh replied to laxxrickLPN's topic in General Nursing

    RNAnnjeh replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work we have 37.5 hours/year for "family sick". So if your spouse, kids, whomever in your family is sick, you can use that bank instead of your personal sick time. The last hospital I...
