  1. Opinions spouted on religion and politics at nurses station

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this nurse praises Bush and the Lord to pts and staff all the time. She also openly puts down Hillary and Kerry. She is married, and openly having an affair with a co-worker- not the first time...

  2. I'm ready to resign!

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to NTPinky's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NTPinky, I think resigning is a good idea. When the NM told you "today can be your last day" that was a big red flag that she is pissed, and will probably see anything you do in a negative light. I...

    Hellllllo Nurse posted a topic in Operating Room

  5. Do Not Hire

    Most organizations have a policy that any employee leaving without giving two weeks written notice will be put on "do not re-hire"

  6. Opinions spouted on religion and politics at nurses station

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, she is immoral and hippocritical. She demonstrates this in numerous ways- none of which have anything to do with her choice in cosmetics- the lipstick was just the icing on the cake-but I...

  7. Outpt surgery nurses....Advice/info, please!

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in Operating Room

    I had an interview yesterday. Yes, I met the doc and he was cranky. He is also only about 5" tall. I did not stand up when he came into the conferance room- I didn't want to tower over him. The NM...

  8. Opinions spouted on religion and politics at nurses station

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in TX. I am sick to my eyeballs of nurses praising George Bush and praising the Lord at the nurses' station, and to the patients. My former UM is a super GWB fan. However, her superior moral...

  9. What do you think about people calling you "honey"?

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

    (I added the bold to emphasize a particular part of jlsRN's post) Thanks so much for this post. Obviously, being called "honey" or "sweetheart" by those younger than us is seen as rude by many people....

  12. Any past losers out there?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To answer your question- yes. Here's my story in a nutshell- I lived in a trailer park on the bad side of town in a gang infested neighborhood. Family was mega-disfunctional. I partied and ditched...

  13. Staff pretending to use empty hand sanitizer in MRSA room.

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think proper staffing and reasonable work loads is what it will take. Years ago, I read an article which said that nurses wash their hands much more often and more thoroughly than docs

  14. Staff pretending to use empty hand sanitizer in MRSA room.

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a traveler, I might do inpt dialysis in several facilities in one day. I'm not an employee of the hospital, and may not have had any orientation to the facility. It might be nocs, and there may be...

  15. Why so many fail out of our program?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    You are not talking in circles- you are right on the money. The reason nursing students must suffer through all that care plan writing is not to present the instructor with a perfect care plan and get...

  16. Contagious CNA showing up for work!!!!

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you are so far from Courtney Love, that if she were pointing a flashlight at you, it would take 1,000,000 years for the light from Courtney to reach

  17. I wish all the washed out tired nurses would retire.

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    http://www.allheart.com/ckpremier.html When you get home from work, take the insoles out, & put the shoes in the washer. Set them on a paper towel to dry. They will be dry by the next

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Personally, I never became like that "mean, nasty, nurse." However, I became exactly like that "tired, old nurse with a fat

  19. Press Ganey shows RNs want better pay, better staffing

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to hollyvk's topic in General Nursing

    Not saying we don't need both. Of course we do. I am saying that for many nurses, one takes priority over the

  20. Does HIPAA apply to non-work related information (from friends and relatives)???

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say anything about HIPAA. It was not her "right" to know that a relative had had an abortion. If the woman wanted her mother to know, she would have told her. Why tell her after it is...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to tucker12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They told me the ratio was 1:7. I did not agree to it- they just did it. I was a new grad RN then (2001)- I didn't throw a fit. I sure would now, though. If I would have agreed to it- I'd still be...
