    RNs caught lying

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    FireStarterRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    llg, you make excellent points. I think many of us will sympathize with someone who has been fired because many of us tend to root for the underdog. We also know that there are some dysfunctional...

    Am I paranoid; or do all my clinical instructors dislike me?

    FireStarterRN replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing

    There are people who discriminate against obese people in this world, I saw it happen in my clinicals to a young woman who was in every other way an excellent student and had excellent clinical...

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    FireStarterRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Another thing I want to mention is that, sometimes the hospital will realize it needs to cut bait with a new hire who doesn't seem to be getting it, because after their probationary period is up it...

    Want your opinion?

    FireStarterRN replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion is that it is galling when someone asks for an easier assignment in order to further their personal goals, whether it be academic or because they were out late partying with their friends....

    In Shock about Missing Narcotics

    FireStarterRN replied to LHH1996's topic in General Nursing

    As Canoehead said, you did the right thing by uncovering this. It all sounds very incriminating and points to the unpleasant fact that this woman has a serious drug problem. You did the right thing by...

    Discovering incompatible IVPB's with primary lines - anyone else notice this a lot?

    FireStarterRN replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    FireStarterRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hi Ruby, I've been at work the last two days and missed your post. I want to say, I agree. Yes, there are people who are unjustly fired in this world, but for the most part there is a darn good...

    Abd CT : PO contrast vs IV contrast

    FireStarterRN replied to saphyre's topic in General Nursing

    More than 5 sick days taken in a year and disciplinary action ensues

    FireStarterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    The other day at work the manager was explaining to someone that once someone has been sick 5 days in one year, they will be counseled. Now, I'm very healthy and rarely call in sick, but some others...

    Should Doctors Have Guns?

    FireStarterRN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    What has happened in America that some parts of the nation are too dangerous to live or work in without carrying a gun? I'll tell you: Drugs, promiscuity, breakdown of the family, degeneration of the...

    Should Doctors Have Guns?

    FireStarterRN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing
