  1. 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?...

  2. 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...

  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...

  5. Extra-long scrubs - know of any online vendors?

    Johnny Moo Man replied to homesteadlite's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    http://aviatorscrubs.com/ The owner is I believe, the small dark haired model in front. If you need, she'll make your scrubs to order and they're long lasting, got a lot of pockets. The shop is within...

  6. 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,...

  7. 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...

  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. 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...

  10. 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...

  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. coworker complained: I dared to say "butt."

    Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

    My supervisor told me about it; I was having a deadly busy day. I had just had 2 discharges and the beds weren't cold before ER called report and delivered new 2 new admits. I hadn't seen the 1st...

  14. 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. Why shift diff nights when days are so busy?

    Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've worked nights for 7 years and only recently switched to days. How many times at night had it gotten a little busy and the nurses complain about the day people : "they think all we do is sleep."...

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

    Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just took a sort of mid-management position on my unit, it's a rather busy 48 bed med/tele floor. I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve things to make life easier and nurses happier. Among...

  17. 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...

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

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

    i am a nurse, i still work the floor when i can, and when i'm not on the floor i do many tasks for the other nurses: start ivs, ng tubes, answer lights, all that. i told the woman who hired me that i...

  19. My Feet Hurt

    Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    After 7 years of nursing and all the hooks that come with a steady paycheck (buying a home/cars/vacations etc etc), my 36 hour week has become 48-60 hours. And my feet are killing me all the time....

  20. Why shift diff nights when days are so busy?

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

  21. Anyone having a rough time landing their first job

    Johnny Moo Man replied to kpyers32!'s topic in General Nursing

    A lot of my co-grads went to job fairs hosted by a certain hospital and got hired on the spot, in mass hirings. A friend of mine did the same at Loma Linda U hospital, got into peds right away. I...

  22. So why certify in chemotherapy

    Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been giving chemo for 2 years now and my certification is up for renewal. I'm more than likely going to follow my coworkers and not recertify. Too much added work, no perks. I don't get less...

  23. Highest paid nursing field?

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

    People for some reason guard their salaries, even anonymously as in this forum. "You CAN make etc etc..." Visit salary.com for "can makes." I'll try to give you a couple specifics. I'm in California....

  24. nurse pt ratio

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

    My excellent opinion? As a new grad you are accepted into any specialty and they're eager to train you. As time goes on they're not so hot on "transitioning" employees. This from my experience. You...

  25. Tele/Medsurg RN

    Johnny Moo Man posted a topic in General Nursing

    Working at a hospital in Orange County CA. About 35 bucks an hour with 7 years experience. A monitored medsurg unit. I even give chemotherapy. I keep hearing how other hospitals pay so much more,...
