    MzMouse replied to jprn7171's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You must be an alcoholic

    MzMouse replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a clinic as primary nurse for a general surgeon. We routinely order scans and have the patient come back to the office for the results. I would lose my job making any of those statements...

    MzMouse replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    Some people aren't happy unless they are trying to bring others down. I think you ran smack-dab into a couple of those people. I am a married, childless by choice nurse and I know a lot of other...

    Weaker nurses at night?

    MzMouse replied to LeeniesMomRN's topic in General Nursing

    Anybody who thinks there is nothing to do at night has never worked nights! Not to mention things start going bad and you don't have near the help around as days and early evening. Night nurses need...

    marriage and nursing school

    MzMouse replied to beatrice1's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school was hard on my marriage. Not because he wasn't supportive of me going to school; it was lack of time and attention. It was hard, but we got through it. If I had to do it again; I...

    Quiet nurse?

    MzMouse replied to LauraLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I am on the quieter side too; and after years of wishing otherwise I accept myself as is. We quieter nurses can still be confident, assertive, and excellent at communicating with patients, coworkers...

    My manager has friends in all the right places and knows how to say the right things and work the system. I just wish she knew what the heck was going on in the

    Manager problems :(

    MzMouse replied to ExaltedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I sympathize. I have job I enjoy and a manager who can't manage her way out of a paper bag. She can't make a decision, does not seem to value input from her staff and delegates all the crappy jobs...

    My husband has the same issue. His mom, coworker or any person on the street gives him medical advice he believes it completely. He puts no faith in what I tell

    Just Because You're a Nurse

    MzMouse replied to Jaybird310's topic in General Nursing

    I find it very irritating. A friend of mine who is a mother keeps asking me health questions about her children. I work in a surgery department at a clinic and see 98% adults. I know very little...

    Nurse abuse: managment just doesn't get it!!

    MzMouse replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    MzMouse replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen the same; we had a good nurse ready to quit after a yearly eval. I have tried to keep my peer reviews very positive with rare exception. I do know of one nurse who was approached after...
