  3. ARE YOUR PATIENT ASSIGNMENTS "FAIR?"

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Ours are not particularly fair. As has been mentioned, the assignments are made based almost entirely on room number and total number of patients. Some people really complain if all their patients...

  9. This is not my job?!?

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at this point in the thread, you've already learned how most nurses would react to a similar situation. No need to rehash that! Rough day at clinical. I am concerned as to what your...

  11. Many nurses on depression or anxiety meds?

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to avsmch's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I've been clinically depressed since I was 12, so I don't think nursing did it. Lily should give me some free t-shirts or something though, for how often I recommend my particular SSNRI to my...

  14. What condition is this?

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    I'm working on a medical/telemetry floor, this is where I've been since I graduated in May 07. I'm applying for a position in an ED at a large trauma center. I had to discuss this with some...

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  20. Flu epidemic...who gets treatment?

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to CoolhandHutch's topic in General Nursing

  21. how to wash your hands

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry OP, but I have to disagree. I am a firm believer in reinforcing proper procedure, as well as a firm believer in real "back to the basics" nursing. I think a lot of people get so caught-up in...

  24. skirts

    NursingAgainstdaOdds replied to nightshiftnut's topic in General Nursing
