    IV start on obese pt

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    I say lucky patient.....there is never a reason to torture a patient. If you felt nothing, you did the right thing. As for the others giving you the eye...everybody misses. Most obese patients are...

    Nurses eat anybody young old and indifferent

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps mob mentality exists due to fear of being individuals. I see this in my environment and can't stand it! I too came from a career that was male dominated and believe me men are just as bad,...

    NJ Bill A2629 requiring rest and meal breaks

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to jenfromjersey's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    If you think that working for a union facility ensures a break, you are sadly mistaken. If I could get rid of our nursing union, I would in a second! They have no backbone and do not support us! It...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to ED_EMR_NURSE's topic in Emergency

    I understand why people are leaving. I have been a nurse for about 3 years, this is a second career. Our ER has gotten so crazy, people are misusing the ER(although they have nowhere else to go),...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to kcsb12's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You'll find information already posted on the subject on recent thread...I am not understanding why schools are not advising students to job shop prior to graduation. Everyone I know was hired prior...

    What factors do you think have changed that has an impact on healthcare

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to nursingsteph's topic in General Nursing

    Leslie, I get the personal responsibility point, however, how is your day as a nurse? Are you stress free? Can you eat healthy meals? Do you have enough time to exercise? I can honestly say "NO" to...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to HappyPediRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all I am so sorry you are having this problem, there is nothing like seeing a loved one treated so inconsiderately, and like an object rather than a human being. I am so sorry for your dad,...

    Career Fair attire? conserative? professional?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    I think when you aren't really looking, you don't try as hard....I went to my current jobs interview in scrubs...BUT....they knew I was going to be dressed that way because I was working when they...

    Career Fair attire? conserative? professional?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    It's always a good idea to dress as you would for an interview...the same recruiters who are at the fairs are sometimes the people you will see in the office! Even nurses with jobs should make an...

    Unprofessional Nurse

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Katy-NursingStudent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Florida is not a filial responsibility state, but 30 states are. Most Americans do not save what is necessary to survive an emergency, and most could not even if they wanted to care for a sick...

    Abuse of Nurses

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    Missouri has a statue that makes abusing a healthcare worker a class d felony. Just google it! Educate your hospital. Release their stance to the media. Call you union rep if you have one. Stick...

    WHY do we need more nurses

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to getinfall's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I am convinced that politicians and the media downplay the importance of nursing due to the strength of the AMA and AHA! Since AARP has become such a vital voice for the aging population...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to klcrn1987's topic in Emergency

    In my busy ER a nurse may not sit in the position of triage until they have been there one full year....this includes experienced nurses. The feeling is that triage is a skill that is gained by...
