  2. "Customer service" and nursing

    JennieO replied to LilPeanut's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Frankly, customer service is important to attract future pts., but it can certainly distract from the "real" pt. getting the best care. I do not want to have you hinting that YOU, the visitor, have...

  3. what do u think?.........

    JennieO replied to cybernurse81's topic in General Nursing

    I worked peds 15 years ago and I had a nurse manager say it was okay for a 15 year olds bf to sleep in the bed with her on the pediatric ward since she was pregnant anyway. We also had to be careful...

  4. Do nurses only "eat their young" in certain departments?

    JennieO replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    One way to end the eating of the young is to casually mention that you feel "harrassed in the workplace".

  5. best hospital to work for in Washington state

    JennieO replied to badtz143's topic in Washington Nursing

    I think Harborview and Swedish have the highest RN satisfaction. Stay away from Virginia Mason, as their staffing ratios are terrible. Travellers frequently end their contracts at Virginia Mason....

    JennieO replied to netgeek's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I work in the PACU and we had a preop pt. come down with a triple lumen central line in which the sutures were out and the line only had a loose piece of gauze over it with one piece of tape. The pt....

    JennieO replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I have not seen this happen since 1986. Also, I do not believe there are any docs out there that would accept this or be pleased about

  9. Lesson learned

    JennieO replied to Thedreamer's topic in Men in Nursing

    Never, ever ask a woman if it PMS, nurse or not. It probably is not. Many male nurses seem to get UNDUE respect and accolades just because they are men--no other reason. Perhaps, the women you...

  10. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    JennieO replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    To SuzieSunshine, how professional are you? Are you one of these new RNs who think thy know everything and do not? Why do these young nurses feel it is okay to go to work with tattoos, piercings and...

  11. giving report at end of shift

    JennieO replied to RNinED's topic in Emergency

    I think it is rude and somewhat foolish for a nurse to be distracted during your report. How can they possibly know what has gone on when they are not there? I say "I'm one of those nurses that...

  12. Can (do) nurses unions help improve patient care

    JennieO replied to Tucson's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Unions seem to be interested in their dues and having a closed shop. We only see them at voting time and that is to secure our vote in the "cardboard box with the slit." It is next to impossible to...

  14. Nurses as day laborers (rant)

    JennieO replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I think how you feel about your nursing compensation depends on where you live. My full-time salary with differential is $92,000/year. I am not at the top of the pay scale either. This is not per...
