  1. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    anononurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems the same people who abuse cellphones are the ones being paged w/continual calls from family/kids. I'm sorry, but your adult children need to GROW UP & stop calling mommy for every little...

  2. Tough time with senior co-worker

    anononurse replied to Dempather's topic in Emergency

    I fully support new grads, or anyone new to a specialty area, for that matter. I do think new grads need extra TLC. I have 15 yrs of ER experience, and am still asked to float there- which I am...

  3. My bad attitude

    anononurse replied to jessiern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My point is simply this: If my wife wrote a letter to the paper about issues that could be obviously traced to my work & issues I was having there, I wouldn't like it. Nor would she like it if I...

  4. My bad attitude

    anononurse replied to jessiern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not really different no matter what field, if you're talking about racial issues & equality, which you said was the case at your job. The bottom line is my wife & I have separate careers, and...

  5. My bad attitude

    anononurse replied to jessiern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So would it be a noble gesture for a wife to 'help' her husband in this

  6. terminated

    anononurse replied to lynn0808's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. I also think that in this day w/so many nurses vying for the few choice jobs out there, that good attendance is a plus. If you have a job you like & people you enjoy working with, and you...

  7. A rant: sick time use and policies

    anononurse replied to andre's topic in General Nursing

    There will always be those who get sick one day/month & it seems to the rest of us who never call in, that they are taking advantage- and people have varying degrees of what could be considered...

  8. I get soo frustrated..............

    anononurse replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in Emergency

    I think you exercised great control!! I get tired of manipulative patients who think we are there to "wait on them" & keep them out of touch w/reality w/drugs!! Where is it written that nurses...

  9. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    anononurse replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that where I work all of our new grads passed the NCLEX. I have a hard time believing it's 'harder' than the 2 full days of testing that was the norm in years past. (OK, dark ages!)....

  10. new RN's in specialty areas

    anononurse replied to sunny261's topic in General Nursing

    All the more reason to hone your skills on a general med/surg floor b/f moving

  11. new RN's in specialty areas

    anononurse replied to sunny261's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN & THANK YOU! You said it well. It is not a matter of not giving inexperienced nurses a chance, or of nurses "eating their young" it is a matter of what's best for the PATIENT. You need to be...

  12. Learning to circulate

    anononurse replied to anononurse's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you all SO much for your encouraging words! I accepted the job & will be starting next week, I'm SO excited. It's an opportunity I feel I have to

  13. Learning to circulate

    anononurse posted a topic in Operating Room

    I recently interviewed for an OR position at a small rural hospital. They are desperate enough to hire AND train me to circulate in the OR. The problem is, w/such short staffing, I'm worried as to...

  14. Not Happy With My OR

    anononurse replied to IsseyM's topic in Operating Room

    I totally agree. You can get thru the next 10 months- learn all you can, don't get sucked into the negativity. You already sound like you have a healthy attitude by saying the only thing you can...

  15. which fields offer the most travel opportunities?

    anononurse replied to introspectiveRN's topic in Travel

    OR nurses seem to be in great

  16. y'all ain't going to believe this one!!

    anononurse replied to ebear's topic in Operating Room

    Where I work, the nurse marks the site, w/the verification of the patient & surgical consent. The surgeon & the OR nurse then check to ensure that the site has been marked & matches the...

  17. Anybody else work with a "super nurse?"

    anononurse replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    I've known one, she was cute, always energetic, intelligent, nice, on top of things- she always knew what was going on w/the unit, and was the "go to" person. She was also physically fit & kind to...

  18. Is your facility warning staff for overtime, for missing lunch breaks or other?

    anononurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like something that needs to be reported to the state labor board! I worked one facility where similar things were happening. If you had too many hours after running around w/no lunches or...

  19. Incompetent nurses

    anononurse replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    After working ER for many years, I have the highest respect for paramedics. I have to say they know EKGs better than most nurses I know. Paramedics taught our ACLS class- a 2 wk class- yes we had docs...

  20. Iv Versed Given Po

    anononurse replied to RARRN's topic in Emergency

    I have done it many times w/peds, sometimes mixed w/a little apple juice-- seems to go down easier than the syrupy tylenol & easier than the po versed too. The job I'm at now uses only the PO...

  21. are they serious ?

    anononurse replied to nursebabygurl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think there should be a limit to the number of personal phone calls you can receive at work. We have one nurse who gets an average of a phone call every hour to hour an half all day long!! Our...

  23. Patient is a famous star

    anononurse replied to Lara911's topic in Nursing Humor

    I would really love going to work every day if these were my patients: Hugh Laurie Bruce Willis Hugh Jackman Patrick Dempsey Gary Dourdan Denzel Washington William Peterson Enrique Murciano Anthony...

  24. anyone else noticed increase in nurse manager postions?

    anononurse replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Although this is true enough, there ARE some poor managers out there. Unfortunately some places are too eager to hire anyone w/management experience to really check their references. Without...

  25. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    anononurse replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The movie presents a strong case for UHC. However, after talking to one nurse who moved here from Canada & one that lived in France, I don't think I'd want it. I agree our system does need help,...
