  2. How did you react to your first code?

    fronkey bean replied to AZcardiacRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you sound like most ICU nurses. Some of us thrive on the excitement and challenge of a really sick patient. Nothing wrong w/ that, if it weren't for nurses like us ICU and ED would be pretty...

  3. How do you go about handling a rude Dr.

    fronkey bean replied to RN 4 U's topic in General Nursing

    No one should have to put up w/ being treated in a demeaning manner and after 13 years I refuse to any longer. I have started writting MDs up for treating me rudely, esp. if it interferes w/ pt. care...

  5. Would you like nursing unions in Alabama?

    fronkey bean replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Don't I know it Jedi! That is why I don't understand why there isn't a bigger push from Al. RNs to unionize. I don't see any other way to get better pay in this

    Timothy and Viking, thanks for the different viewpoints and the links. Tim, I like alot of what I read on the freemarket system but am worried about how low income families are going to pay for health...

  7. How Did Your Job Prepare for Magnet Status?

    fronkey bean replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    That is what happens after years of the kind of management that usually happens on nsg units. Where favorites get what they want and the needs of many are ignored. Where inconsistant punishments are...

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. How Did Your Job Prepare for Magnet Status?

    fronkey bean replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds exactly the same to me. I watch my institution jump through hoops and crack whips every time JCAHO is due to come through and then, as soon as they have passed the inspection, they promptly...

  11. Community member complained about her care to me

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Do you allow Tele patients to leave unit to smoke?

    fronkey bean replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the smoking pts I have had don't care that you say you won't be there b/c A) they don't believe any thing will happen to them in the Butt Hut (our name for the smoking area) and B) they know,...

  15. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    fronkey bean replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    These type of pt's wouldn't be eligible for PAS b/c, as I understand it, PAS is not administered by a health care provider. The agent that brings about death is provided to the pt who must then make...

    fronkey bean replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think it is encouraging disagreement to point out name-calling is counter-productive. If you had said GWB has made America lose respect around the world that is an opinion. I may not agree but...
