    Just need to vent about my exasperating coworker.

    Magsulfate replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a good idea,, add along the other suggestions of giving her report,, interupt her when she goes off,, and follow her,, continue to give report, like a robot, until it is finished,...

    Magsulfate replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    Magsulfate replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I have several years experience in LTAC ICU. Granted it is a LITTLE bit different than a regular hospital, it is still acute care, and it is still a hospital. Insurance companies would rather have...

    Magsulfate replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    LTAC hospitals are ACUTE CARE. I cannot stress that enough. They are NOT nursing homes. Although some people think they are, until you work at a good LTAC, you just won't know what to expect. LTAC's...

    Just need to vent about my exasperating coworker.

    Magsulfate replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with this. After you discuss this with your manager, get permission to tape the report WHILE you're giving it to her. The excuse could be so that she could go back in case she feels...

    What would you do?

    Magsulfate replied to reallyoldnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't say anything to him. DOn't talk to him at all. Make sure you change your password, and never ever leave the damn thing open for someone else to use. Ultimately, no matter how mad you are, it is...

    Magsulfate replied to AsAnatomy's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing WILL bring you many opportunities. While there are some parts of the country where new grads are having a hard time finding the job they want,,, they do eventually get a job. I'm not sure what...

    I need advice on management's reaction to resignation/notice

    Magsulfate replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    This is sort of what I did. However, my friend that was walked out was still very loyal to the company and was still trying to decide what to do. ... There was a straw that broke the camel's back,...

    Magsulfate replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Magsulfate replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is an at will state. It is just all strange to me, the management tactics that they employ here. I have never seen it done this way at any other hospital. Oh and btw, I did resign already. My...

    What is your opinion/knowledge base on recovery programs?

    Magsulfate replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well,, as you know, it takes several years, depending on what state you're in, to 'graduate' from these programs. It seems to be, in my experience, that most, if not all nurses that graduate from...

    This Economy Is Affecting Nurses

    Magsulfate replied to keigei's topic in General Nursing
