  1. This Current Recession!!!

    Moneypitt replied to puppyrules's topic in General Nursing

    Over 30 people laid off at one hospital I work at over the last few weeks. LPN's and other staff, no RN's yet. Two other hospitals I work at have low census. The recession has hit

  2. Yes Virginia, Women can be bleeders!

    Moneypitt replied to ECKPowers's topic in General Nursing

    What she did was wrong on so many levels. Too bad there are so many people with issues who we trust with our lives. I have seen so much power tripping in my career, and my life. Hope she loses her...

  3. Wearing Cologne to work Yes Or No

    Moneypitt replied to KarmaWiseRaven's topic in General Nursing

    A small amount of cologne or perfume is fine. I can't tell you how many times there is the stench and reek of stool in the air from patients. Unfortunately the people who create these stenches are...

  4. What changes do you think will happen ?

    Moneypitt replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Cost cutting short term. I predict first will be the Techs, and CTAs. In one hospital I work they are being replaced by nursing assistants because "you can get two na's for the cost of one tech"....

    Moneypitt replied to JourneyCC's topic in General Nursing

    Moneypitt replied to Ms.Migraine's topic in General Nursing

    Well hello there and welcome to Allnurses! Sad to say but you will be forced to work with lazy RN's, LPN's. CNA's, and Doctors in your career. As always try to get them to work! Use your charm,...

  8. When wasting narcotics...

    Moneypitt replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    The first couple of times with each nurse I watch very close. Nurses I trust I don't really watch after that. I did work with an impaired nurse and I watched her like a hawk. She was caught and...

  9. Many RN's administer IV meds wrong.

    Moneypitt replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient Medications

    I am kind of lol at this thread with no malice intended. I guess I have been a med/surg nurse too long and have so many patients who get really ticked off when you administer an IV pain med slowly....

  10. spoken to at work

    Moneypitt replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    First I would like to say I am sorry that happened to you. Are you a new nurse or just new to the facility? I would suggest you document every meeting with said management. Definately ask for...

  11. Evil Doctors

    Moneypitt replied to James_Adam's topic in General Nursing

    Well take this for what it is worth. Have you ever gone to a private expensive school or know someone who has? You will find some children, who from an early age are groomed by their narcissistic...

    Moneypitt replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    OMG I just had a mental picture of some of my co-workers without bras. What a nightmare. Besides you can poke an eye out with those things. Wear a bra- or in your case maybe

  13. I want to be a nurse but is nursing really that horrible??

    Moneypitt replied to kgheen09's topic in General Nursing

    I will speak the truth as I see it. So anyone with a different opinion please allow me to express myself. It was not worth it for me. I spent to much money on my education just to be physical...

  14. I am GETTING out of hospital work! This is BULL!

    Moneypitt replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

  16. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Moneypitt replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are guilty of call light abuse and I and no one else will answer your call light more then once an hour. Of course you can breathe- you're yelling at me aren't you? NO I am sorry but I can't hand...

  17. Will somebody PLEASE tell these doctors....

    Moneypitt replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Heparin IV administration

    Moneypitt replied to starcandy's topic in General Nursing

    Our policy is to run the Heparin as a primary line. Not trying to be condescending but have you actually seen the policy in writing, or have been told by other nurses that this is the procedure?...

  20. I need an attitude adjustment- HELP!

    Moneypitt replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm an RN with a very similiar situation. Our new Unit Manager (4th in 5 years) gave me hope. But now it is the same old, same old, but with veiled threats to staff in an attempt to improve...

  21. What is the major reason nurses leave?

    Moneypitt replied to saguaro13's topic in General Nursing

    For me it is the abuse. That is why I wish I could leave nursing. I can't do my job because the acuity is too high for the amount of patients that I have. I am expected to do a lot of CTA work and...

  22. Non compliant and frequent flyer patients

    Moneypitt replied to dona4jc's topic in General Nursing

    We have a great number of non compliant patients on our floor. We just document everything. Every little non compliant thing they do, they refuse, and that we have informed the doctor so he/she is...

  23. What do you like about your job?

    Moneypitt replied to Pucca's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry but I don't very much like nursing right now. But what I like about being a nurse is what I have learned about sickness, injury, treatments, medications, and human nature. I can pretty...

    Moneypitt replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the land of C-diff and sputum. I remove my shoes before I leave and take my scrubs off directly when I get home. I know how some of those little splatters go unoticed to the naked and busy...

    Moneypitt replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing
