  1. I Love being a Christian Nurse

    mazy replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I was also hoping to get some insight into the reasons for why the OP loves being a Christian nurse. As a Jewish nurse, I'd be curious to see what we had in common; and maybe find some common ground...

  2. Finally a Nurse Manager That Does NOT Tolerate Nurses Eating Their Young

    mazy replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agree with others that there are some red flags there. First, the NM is admitting that bullying takes place on the unit; which means that it has reached a level where management is concerned about...

  3. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh yeah. Sigh. Saw that one too. These things seem to go in ever-shortening cycles. Eventually the site will reach critical mass and crash into a burning pile of nursing notes, scrubs, and

  4. Job Title Seems Wrong, Need Advice

    mazy replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    I would advise to wait until they get this sorted out before you start worrying about any liability/scope of practice issues. Whatever designation they give you, they will most likely let you know...

    Sigh. Another nurses eating their young post up on the

  6. Stupid things doctors do?!

    mazy replied to healthstar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Doctor bloopers/nurse bloopers. Probably a better title. I once threw a cup of narcotics in the trash without realizing it, when I was organizing the top of my cart. Had a complete meltdown. And yeah,...

  7. Reporting medical errors to patient.

    mazy replied to amandalm711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I truly hope that you are not really asking the question that you could cause grave harm to a patient and then not report it. The policy would be for you to report it to your supervisor and then the...

  8. I love my days off

    mazy replied to beast master RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the good thoughts. :redpinkhe I actually love my job, even through the bad times I can't imagine doing anything else. Especially through the bad times. Right now I'm making myself a...

  9. Moral Question

    mazy replied to bluesky308's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this doesn't seem like that big of a deal. I had a lesion on my hand that a dermatologist told me was a herpatic lesion, it threw me into a complete panic. First of all because I had no idea how...

  10. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I sprained my funny bone yesterday at work. They won't give me workman's

  11. I was yelled at by my nurse yesterday

    mazy replied to EllieBean13's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I did the same thing when I first started working, just asking way too many questions and I think driving people nuts. The charge nurse that I drove the most nuts is now one of my closest...

  12. Question for anyone who has sought a job!

    mazy replied to Jammin' RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Apply anyway. They'll decide whether they're interested or not. Make sure your resume is strong and you play up any and all relevant experience

  13. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    mazy replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It is not appropriate to bring family members or friends to work or school. It doesn't matter if you work at MacDonald's or a hospital or the Taj Mahal, it is simply not appropriate. There is a...

  14. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    mazy replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    All questions of patient confidentiality aside, why on earth would you take your husband with you to clinical prep? I can't even fathom the thought process

  15. I love my days off

    mazy replied to beast master RN's topic in General Nursing

    Today is my first day off after an exceptionally horrifying week at work. Usually when I get to my day off I'm so excited about not having to work that I can't even sleep at night. I work eves so go...

  16. "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

    mazy replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it when people call me ma'am. Makes me feel elderly and dowager-like. But I think that is a woman thing. It's different with men

  17. nclex horror

    mazy replied to kikijo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since numerous posts have been removed from this thread in the interests keeping the peace, and since this thread has then resumed to the original topic; the "offending" posters have long since moved...

  18. LPN vs. RN

    mazy replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I agree, pneuomthorax often posts interesting questions. The wording was

  19. LPN vs. RN

    mazy replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I agree that this is a very sad thread, and even sadder given how many threads we have going on this site about how we are all nurses and need to pull together and respect each and every one of us in...

  20. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please can you let your son respond to some of those posts? I would be thrilled to see something like that. But of course you would then have to shield him from the blowback -- people freaking out...

  21. I Need Another Job ASAP!!

    mazy replied to Nurzelady's topic in Nursing Career

    This is an absolutely typical scenario that you will find in any area of nursing. No matter where you go you will be working with these conditions. My suggestion is that you use this opportunity as a...

  22. I Need Another Job ASAP!!

    mazy replied to Nurzelady's topic in Nursing Career

    No matter what you do in life, at some point, something will come along that will challenge everything you know or think about yourself. As a professional you need to come to terms with the fact that...

  23. customer service rant

    mazy replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about that specific interview, but a lot of times when I see those kind of things, the main point they are trying to make is that if you want good customer service you should not act like...

  24. Anyone familiar with Kindred (LTAC)

    mazy replied to mindlor's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I worked at Kindred and agree with Esme. I went in as an experienced nurse and had a horrible time there. I probably would have stuck it out, but what convinced me to leave was that they couldn't keep...
