  5. Self-scheduling?

    Ms Kylee replied to bleta10's topic in General Nursing

    We have it at the hospital, but then the scheduler gets a hold of it after you've signed up and screws everything up. I'm constantly running to my unit manager to fix it because the scheduler can't...

  10. Do You Tell EVERYONE You Are a Nurse?

    Ms Kylee replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a nursing student, so I'm lucky that I don't have to say much. My nurse friends are vastly different though. One doesn't say anything unless she's specifically asked. One has to announce...

  11. Held hostage by job

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  17. Breakfast of champs

    Ms Kylee replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in General Nursing

    Ms Kylee replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Dietary passes the trays and picks them up if and when they feel like it. They will not go into isolation, so the aides have to do it. Aides also pull patients up in bed and set the patients up that...

  24. Hostile and demanding patients. How do you handle them?

    Ms Kylee replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing
