  1. Tech vs. Nurse War

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to BellaCerraRN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Having been a nurse for fifteen years, I think it is a really big mistake to cow-tow to the egos of the techs who gave you an attitude. You are a nurse, call yourself a nurse and be proud. They are...

  3. Other nurses taking over your patients without asking?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    I see, but I'm just wondering if a anticipatory, proactive approach to caring for these pts was used? I'm not trying to critisize; I just don't have a full understanding of the

  4. Got called to HR...what fun!

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    I've been a nurse for fifteen years and a traveler for three. I have to disagree with the above post. Hospitals do lots of things that end up costing them staff and money, but they keep on doing them,...

  11. A few more questions before moving to Texas.

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to John123's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am a native Arizonan and was a nurse in AZ for years before moving to Texas. Imo, standards of care are much lower, and nurses are treated much worse in TX. Also, the Dallas area has Group1- a...

  12. I'm sure you've all seen this before..

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Also, LTC tends to pay more because you will shoulder more reponsibility yourself. You may have an RN in the building, but she may be all the way on the other side where you'll rarely see her. There...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to hollyvk's topic in General Nursing

    A tubal does not affect FSH, LH, estrogen or progesterone levels, endometrial tissues, or anything else related to menstruation. It simply blocks an

  15. What's the dumbest thing you ever got called on the carpet for?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is not near as bad as some of these other stories. Back when I was an LPN in a hospice inpt unit, we had a pt who was in a lot of pain. Just one RN (charge) and me on duty. This pt had decided to...

  19. Do you get extra work cause your bilingual?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    The above part of your response surprised me. I, too, do my best for my patients. I do my best to make things better for them, not more difficult. The fact that I get frustrated with pts who do not...

  21. So I'm fired. Again.

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sue- When I was an LPN, I was assaulted at work by an RN, in front of witnesses. How goofy was I- after being assaulted, I went in and took report, and went to work.(I should have called the police...
