  1. Newbie

    You must be a smart little cookie graduating 2 years early. I bet you will be a credit to our profession. :) Be sure to take bio and chem with labs in high school. That is a must as is algebra. These...
  2. Nurse fired for calling police

    Edit.
  3. She behaves this way because she's able to get away with it. Fill out a written report and also arrange for a meeting with the director. If this is a problem other CNs, nurses, etc. are having then I...

    It's from Sex and The City. One of my fave lines from the
  5. Eeeeevil nurse stories

    If someone I know ever tells me about their funky spunk or that of their mate or significant other I think I might give
  6. seasoned nurse needs advice

    How do you even know these patients complained?! Someone could just say they did and management took that for fact. I would start that new job and not even give this place or these people another...
  7. Eeeeevil nurse stories

    I had someone share info about an itch she had and then went on to share she thinks it was bought on by someone who wasn't her spouse. Uhhh...I don't know you. See your gyno and a marriage
  8. Eeeeevil nurse stories

    I hear ya. I don't complain to every customer service rep, dentist, teacher, etc. the problems I've had with others in similiar positions but for nurses it seems to be very different. I don't get it...
  9. Sexual relations with patients

    How does everyone know this is happening?! Was he caught in the act?! Did he admit it to you?! How was it reported and to who at the hospital?! Is this your patient?! Are you the one that reported...
  10. Question about NOTE?

    I found this article. It appears to be part of an ongoing clinical research trial. Very interesting. http://www.devicespace.com/news_story.aspx?NewsEntityId=106420 New Technique Removes Gallbladder...
  11. Nurse manager requests a change in my documentation

    You're right. That's illegal. You can state what you were told by X that the info was inaccurate on the date and time you were actually told but you can't and shouldn't change what you originally...
  12. I saved my brother's life last night....

    Congrats on saving your brother's life. That must have been very scary. I'm sure he will appreciate you saving him. I pray he concentrates on saving himself now for his sake and that of his son. You...
  13. Fired, need advice.

    Sounds like someone up above was looking out for you. I always say good things happen to good people and it looks like that was the case here. I'm thrilled you found a new job with people who will...
  14. Unfair orientation discipline?

    My guess is you will never make it through the orientation process with this hospital. Fairly or unfairly you are already pegged as a problem. They will let you go shortly and use the letters you...
  15. Fired, need advice.

    I'm so sorry they are putting you through additonal heartache and stress at such a terrible time in your life. Frankly, they sound like a bunch of sharks going in for the kill. Someone saw you in PA?!...
  16. We don't have to follow a script. Thank God. I'd be fired for not following it. Fine with me. I find it insulting and dishonest towards the staff and the patients. We aren't robots and our patients...
  17. I gave a lot of money to this place

    It's a shame when anyone oversteps their boundaries like this because all this woman in marketing did is make it harder on all involved. They made false promises to a family that is already going...
  18. Doctor title, Nurse title

    My floor calls all docs by their first name and they call us by our first name as well. It seems to be like this throughout our hospital from what I've seen. We are all adults and all professionals...
  19. Doctor's office and "nurses"

    I believe you and I have a problem with it as well. Misrepresenting yourself shouldn't be done. I find it vitally important that we be clear on our roles and titles. Our patients are entitled to that....
  20. Unfair orientation discipline?

    I wouldn't admit to anything in writing especially if untrue. I think you are being trapped and I also think they are toying with you. I would be leery of returning there if even for a day. Move on...
  21. Wanna quit because of patients attitude?

    The vast majority of my patients and their families are very nice. Try not to give your power away to the mean ones. I'm convinced they are like sharks and smell blood and fear and will just attack...
  22. Your boss insists on employees taking flu vaccine

    I've never had one previous to being a nurse and would just sign the form and decline one now as well. I know other nurses have declined where I work and a fuss wasn't made about
  23. Patients Going Behind Nurse's Station

    Patients aren't allowed behind the nurse's desk where I work and I would think it wouldn't be tolerated anywhere due to HIPAA not to mention liability
  24. I had my day in court

    Score for the good guys!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!
  25. Staff as Patients

    Sorry you had such a rough time, OP. That's just an awful lot of nonsense to deal with. The only thing I would be sure to do is document everything to the letter. And if you see someone breaking HIPAA...
