  2. nurses leaving the floor

    If i were you, I would look for a job elsewhere, where you could be part of the crowd instead of always left
  3. press gainey

    Yaaaaaay!! My hospital is getting rid of PG....
  4. press gainey

    We are replacing them with that new hospital-compare thingy by the federal government. I am sure that replacing PG with something else will just continue the absurdity, but hey, I still love the idea...
  5. Say Hello to Dr. Nurse

    Upon re-reading it, neither do I!
  6. Say Hello to Dr. Nurse

    No, but it will sure help hospitals to save
  7. I enjoyed reading the things you wish you could tell the patient, here is something I wish I could have told the doctor: We are standing at the foot of the patients bed... Doc: Has her foley been d/c...
  8. That excerpt from ADVANCE is interesting. I haven't noticed the hourly rounding thing boosting nurses morale. If anything, it seems to reduce morale. To be fair though, it's really not all that...
  9. Change of shift admissions

    I think there should be a 'no transfer, no admit' between 6-8am and 6-8pm. In the end, the most important factor should be patient
  10. What ice storm? Get yourself to work!!

    I too will not risk my life to come into work. If the hospital wants to send someone way the heck out into the country to see what my hour long drive is like, they are welcome to come. I will give...
  11. What??? No CNA's???

    I personally would look elsewhere. 5-6 patients with less than usual help from cna's is too much for me. Also, are you sure it pays 40 for 36? That seems unusual. Usually, they consider 36 full time...
  12. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    true, maybe, but she could divorce him years later, and have half his money for free...lol to the OP, you could work 60 hours a week till then. It may not be pleasant, but you could certainly do
  13. Do I really have to study a second language?

  14. Patients Treat Nurses Like Garbage!

    Press Gainey doesn't
  15. I worked at nights for a while while I was in school. I thought it would be great because the floor wasn't too busy at 2-4 am, I could get in some studying. That did not work out so well for me, I...
  16. Amusing patient

    I was in a patients room, asking on the way out...'what else can i do for you, sir?' He said: 'Your absence would be nice' Lol, how nice. This was after I gave him his oxy, of
  17. How to change the Nursing's Image ?

    What part of our image do you think we have to change? Nurses are very well respected here in the Northeastern United

    Hi everyone, I passes the boards!
  19. Male Nurses: Why no escort?

    I provided AM care to a woman, she said, while I was performing it that she was embarrased. I continually asked her if she wanted me to get someone else to provide this care to her. She continually...
  20. Male Nurses: Why no escort?

    I am a new nurse, and a male. I find this to be very offensive. Men have never felt that a man needed to catheterize them, and I refuse to accept the reverse. That is just wrong. I will be no more or...
  21. What kind of error puts a license at risk?

    So what did the doctor order in this situation and why is that he RN's fault? She can only do so much. She must have been smoking a cigarette,

    This forum is such a good resource for
  23. So I lost it? Am I out of Line?

    Wow. That must be tough. Politics are so difficult. Sounds like you have already inadvertantly burned your bridges with the NM and house sup. Maybe you could comtinue to work there for awhile and try...
  24. What is the best thing about nursing???

    They are the company that McDonaldizes our
