When I get orders like this I ask for an order I can actually use....

I just think it's improper to wear things like that when your client population consists of poor inner city people. I feel it's flaunting wealth. One of those rings could pay off part of a medical bill.... But, I'm the queen of the second hand shop. ...

I know, right? I've got a collection of single earrings too. A friend of mine lost her engagement ring at work.... She pinned her ring to her scrubs. I never did figure out how to tie rings into the scrub pants laces.......

California, Texas..... I don't know how they did it. I'd be terrified of losing them, and man they scratch like crazy, go through gloves.... In the OR people wore them on thick necklace chains, or tied them into their scrub pant laces....

The problem I had to deal with when I took over as the charge RN in a fly in rural clinic.... MA- gave a steroid injection the NP was supposed to give in a shoulder joint into a deltoid, gave sets of Vaccination shots to the sibling of the infant who...

I groomed too! And I worked at a vet clinic to pay off my horses vet bills! Nothing like being horse poor. Wish I'd never left the barn!❤️

I wished I'd thought that way...... I usually just donate my extra, or give it to my kids..... I don't fit any group either

I guess I had a privileged childhood.... Upper middle class. Over the years I've pretty much thrown that away. I live a pretty simple life. I rent the bottom floor of a falling apart Victorian, my parents helped me buy my car..... I have since paid t...

But this is work... Peoples lives are in this persons hand...... It's not therapy. Do your job, or leave.

What a nightmare, is right! I'd have blown a gasket the first time she tried to tell me my job! Actually I've been in that situation. I don't like confrontation either, but, it got to the point where I couldn't let things go any more...And I told th...

No Sh!t, Sour Lemons RN ! Is there even a nursing job like that?

No kidding..... I don't think it's possible to have a least stress job in nursing. As a nurse you are responsible for your clients welfare. It's a pretty big responsibility, maybe she/he should have gone into real estate or finance where it really is...

NICU is very difficult due to the families and the parents..... I had a father pulling his baby's hair out before we turned everything off.... He was collecting it to have this babe cloned at a later date. That's just one example of the weirdness you...

I usually ask if they need a time out.... Like a 3 yr old

I chart the conversation...... And the fact he hung up..... CYA. I had a situation like that.... I could not get the ER doc ( peds ER) the charge nurse or the house manager that night to listen. I documented each interaction as well as VS the kid fin...

When the facility has gone through all efforts to try and have the client settle..... The only client I know of being shipped out is a woman who was daily violent to staff and other clients..... We tried for about a year. Finally she punched a nurse...

Don't go into nursing...... That is my advice

I've seen it....... New moon or full moon.... It's crazy. I've worked ER, OR and now LTC.....

I think someone has never worked psych......

I work long term care..... in my last 3 shifts I've been hit, punched, bit, clawed.... I love my clients but watching my people sundown it's very sad. I'd have to say it's the families who never visit on a regular basis who suddenly show up and freak...

I don't think there is one. Each area has to deal with the same issues..... Unhappy clients, unhappy families, rude doctors, short staffing, **** load of paper work and a general lack of respect and finally co workers who will either be the best or c...

We joke that the nurses who can't actually do the job go to the BON to make our lives harder

I am thinking of changing from acute care in the Hospital to LTC. I'm 50 and starting to think about settling down. I've been travel nursing, NICU, PICU, Peds OR and Peds trauma OR. I have an opportunity to work at what I think is a really nice facil...

I've worked in a small community hospital which had about 4-6 LTC people waiting for placement. I enjoyed caring for them. I realize that LTC is getting more and more like acute care. People are living longer with chronic illness which need to be man...

That surgeon sounds like a real jerk. If he dosen't like how you pronounce procedures have him do the time out. That should shut him up. The OR is a tough environment and you need to build a thick skin, half the time now I don't even hear their crabb...
