   Did you get a response regarding your survey? I filled out the form and I don't know if they received it or if it's lost in cyper space. Any comments would be grateful.

2. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   dauschundlover replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   No softstorm I don't believe everytime someone speaks they are talking about me. How naive for u to think that if u do your job that is all that matters. If I was judged on how I did my job I would probably still be there. You see I look at a job as ...

3. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

   dauschundlover replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

   I never sign anything I don't agree with and they can't make u even if they say signing doesn't mean you agree with what's being said your only signing that it was shown to you. DON'T SIGN. If anything just write a rebuttal, but never sign their ve...

5. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   dauschundlover replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   dear nanacarol, I tried to stay at a hospital for the benefits and the pay as well as the mission statement. What it got me was fired. I'm an individual with free will and I refused at this particular job to be manipulated by those of "power". I was ...

6. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

   dauschundlover replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

   I think if I were u I'd try to just forget out this till monday. Then first thing monday I thnk u should call YOUR union rep and find out what's up. It's my understanding that when you belong to a union the rep is there to help and protect u. I wou...

7. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

   dauschundlover replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

   Okay let me get the facts right. Your presently working 2 jobs, one fulltime, one part time. You were scheduled to work both places and choose to call out sick to the full time job. If these facts r right then this is my opinion. You shouldn't ha...

8. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   dauschundlover replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   What I think happens to the comaraderie between nurses is that we receive no level of credibility from management, MD's, PA's. Everyone thinks we think we're doctors. But the way I was taught to look at all those that work in medicine is that each ...

9. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

   dauschundlover replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

   In my comment stating that we all passed the same boards I was hoping to point out that to separate nurses by their education was for lack of a better word ridiculous. I should be united in the goal of bringing credibility to our field and if that m...

10. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    dauschundlover replied to Brian's topic in Relations

    Maybe we shouldn't say "eat our young", but I have to say in today's world nurses eat everyone. Most recently I relocated and took a job at a hospital that came highly recommended as being "great" to it's nursing staff. What I found within a day of...

11. bicarb to declot lines

    dauschundlover replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    A good source regarding this issue is the INS, Intravenous Nurse Society. I believe u use bicarb for certain clotting factors but not necessarily blood. But check with INS.

12. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    dauschundlover replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with everyone that your boss is a true example of what is wrong with nursing management. Any real manager would have called u in right away and taken care of the issue not put it in the manner she did and have you worry all weekend. ...

    dauschundlover replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

    Your kidding yourself if you think a BSN carries more weight then any other form of nursing education. Afterall didn't we all pass the same boards?

    dauschundlover replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

    Snoopd is right, especially when it comes to what abbreviations get you. Hats off to snoopd to realize those abbreviations are used only for marketing purposes and not for a higher regard for nursing. If you want to see how much CEO's value nursing...

15. Just one persons opinion

    dauschundlover replied to dauschundlover's topic in General Nursing

    In response to classicdame. How can someone, anyone stay in nursing and not adapt to new changes and developments. When I think of how medicine has changed since I graduated if I had not stayed up on things I'd be lost. The acuity level of the pat...
