grandma rn38

i hope everything will be o.k. i will keep u in my prays.

i had a pt that was 71, and her daughter was 60.

when i went to nursing school, i worked full time,and had 3 kids in school. my sercert was god, and lots of prayer. i have been a rn for 4 1/2 yrs now. thanks to god.

were i work, at boone mem i make 16 an hour and i have been there almost 4 years and do charge for that pd. we don't have resp, ivt,or a code team. we do it all, and when the er gets in trouble we leave the floor and go help them. we are a one floor hospital. i could go to charleston which is about 45 min or to logan gen which is about 30min, but it is all the same. the staffing is bad every were. i want to leave here but there isn't anything out there that is better. i don't think so anyway.

on evenings it is 8 to 1 and nights it's 12 to 1 or more.

up date on this the lpn, has now threaten me, stated she was going to beat the he?? out of me. i told my D.O.N. and nothing was done. when she was ask about it,she said yes i have been threatening her, but i was mad. i have ask to be removed from this shift, but was not. so i have resigned as charge nurse.since i have resigned she has walked out in the middle of the shift with out telling anyone 3 times.she still says i harass her when i wrote her up.

i'm a charge nurse on evening shift, and a lpn has been just walking out and going home. not tell me she is leaving. one night she left me with 22 pt and 1 other nurse. and we were getting admits about 4 or 5 d/t a school bus wreck. so some one that had already work aday shift had to come out and work. i wrote her up. now she said i'm harassing her, and she said i would pay for what i have done. do you think she has grounds for harassment.

nurses that walk out in the middle of their shift, when you are already short hand.

hello were i work now, i get 13.50 hr.

hello pittsburgh nurses,i'm looking for a male nurse his name is steve if i remember right. he worked at the burn unit in 1981-in aug-nov. i was very young about 17. my husband had been burned and was a pt there. his name was ricky bailey, and my name was gladys. i was very poor, and I (lived in the waiting room) all that time. steve the nurse offter me his house to stay at, and he try to help me get a job while i was there, but i was to young. i would like to thank him, and to let him know he is one of the reason i'm a nurse today. if any one knows him please let me know.

i to had to have a hyster, i was bleeding so much i had to have two units of blood. i decide to leave my ovaries, because i had a hx of blood clot, and hormones were not a choice for me. it has been 3yrs, and i don't regeret it at all. i do have hot flashes sometimes, and mood swing, but it is better than bleeding and hurting all the time.

i feel for you, were i work it"s the same. one day i came in and there were 6 admits and a d/c waiting for me with one other nurse on the floor, that day shift couldn't get, who had 4 nurses that day. Then i had a pt to die. with 22 pt's and 2 nurses on the floor it was a bad evening!

i hated nursing school also, i worked a full time job and had three kids at home. my last semester was the best, because i stoped working. i was glad it was almost over, wouldn't want to do it again.
