    fedupnurse replied to anfe's topic in General Nursing

    Only things that can top the c diff smell are GI bleeds and the death dumper. C-Diff, ESBL, VRE, MRSA, Acinetobactor, etc. I take care of patients all the time and do not worry about it. Just scrub...

  6. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    fedupnurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  11. Which Nursing Theory do you agree with?

    fedupnurse replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with ZASHAGALKA. I treat patients like I would want my family/loved ones to be treated. Nursing Theory may God Bless you my child-that class was awful. I always love when these PhD (piled...

  16. Disney Culture in Hospitals

    fedupnurse replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing against Disney. It is a great vacation experience especially with kids in tow, but the thought of them branching out into healthcare facilities and the powers that be falling for it....

    The ANA can say we have the right to advocate without the fear of retribution but we do experience retribution each and every day! I guess many of you haven't been Disney-fied yet!! Just wait till...

  21. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    fedupnurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here is the deal with PPO insurance coverage. Hospitals "own" them. We have a PPO and many of our docs hate it because the hospital (yes, it is the hospital that cuts the check to the docs) takes 9...

    fedupnurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sound slike that administrator was counting in non bedside nurses in those salary numbers!!! If you add in mgmt and CRNA's the average hourly rate would be 40 something an hour or more. Too bad...

  24. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    fedupnurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    fedupnurse replied to nyforlove's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Nurses don't choose to go on strike. I know, I have been there. We are forced to fight for what is fair by a group of greedy business executives who couldn't care less about the patients who are...
