1. Is your manager not paying when you work through your break?

   Johnny Moo Man replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   Not to feed your flame, but...our good nurses take their breaks and they take their lunches. There are always those disorganized, hyper souls who are ALWAYS disorganized and behind, who are always too...

2. Patient and visitor close door, don't want intruders.

   Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

   Curious dilemma, a bipolar patient, female, gets a female visitor, she closes the door and says she doesn't want to be bothered. We don't suspect drugs or alcohol, or even sex, but who can be sure?...

3. Morale boosters?

   Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

   Curious what some of you do at work for morale besides coming in and going home. Over here we've done the casino bus and employee bowling night with varying degrees of interest. Of course there's the...

4. Wife getting ready to Graduate. Worried about her pay!!! CALIF.

   Johnny Moo Man replied to Only1Balto's topic in General Nursing

   Personally I find salary.com too general. It puts me at about half what I made last year. New grads at my hospital start at 28.50/hr. Anaheim Memorial. Raises aren't what you think, maybe a buck a...

6. The psych patient on a tele unit

   Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

   Had a few of the weird ones on the same hallway yesterday but by far the most time consuming was the 22 year old who demanded her husband spend the night. At first I thought sure, as long as it's okay...

7. Talking about your day.. Or not..

   Johnny Moo Man replied to juliek391's topic in General Nursing

   With due respect to HIPAA, if I want to talk about my day, I'm talking about my day. These aren't State secrets, and I'm just talking to my wife and family. I don't think I've ever mentioned names...

8. bulletin boards, the ones on your walls

   Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

   I asked this same question before but I guess it was too boring: What do some of you have on your bulletin boards around the hospital, that make people read them? Fun ones? Entertaining? Informative?...

9. Core Measures?

   Johnny Moo Man replied to Johnny Moo Man's topic in General Nursing

   oops. I am the supervisor. I'm trying to present stuff to the staff in a fun way, but with stuff like core measures it's boring. Hence the bulletin boards. The blank bulletin boards, waiting for great...

10. Core Measures?

    Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious, I'm putting together bulletin boards in our hallways and lounge, and I'd like to know: how do some of you celebrate or at least acknowledge your core measures to the rest of the staff,...

11. Want to move! Just do not know where.

    Johnny Moo Man replied to ldybug7's topic in General Nursing

    Irvine, CA is supposed to be safe, and it has great malls and entertainment. Weather is pretty good. However, I've been out here in Southern CA for 30 years and about every day I've missed my Chicago...

12. How much is your pay?

    Johnny Moo Man replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    Just an observation from other blogs: this is the Internet, don't believe everything you read, especially with pay. In my experience, everyone makes about the same, depending on geography and...

13. racist comment

    Johnny Moo Man replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Let me just add, without fanning the flames: while working in San Bernardino, I and the other nurses were often told by families of Spanish speaking patients, that they don't want us as the nurse,...

15. How can I improve my med/tele unit?

    Johnny Moo Man replied to Johnny Moo Man's topic in General Nursing

    There's some intelligence here on every post. Got some good ideas and I'm getting a little perspective as well. Thanks all, again. Come Monday I'll be chasing some of these ends, hope I don't end up...
