    Does everyone hate doing "peer evaluations"

    MzMouse replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    Peer evaluations are one of the worst things about my job. They definitely lead to hard feelings; no doubt. You have no choice but to come up with some need-to-improve items on your coworkers and...

    Overwhelmed...

    MzMouse replied to Lil'_young_nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LTC is overwhelming to those who start there. The nurse-to-resident ratio is so high and it's a lot of responsibility. Don't worry about being slow with the med pass. That will change with time....

    Calling out sick

    MzMouse replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I think more "mental health" days get taken than honest-to-gosh sick

    Very disrespectful !!!

    MzMouse replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Bullies, and that is what that behavior is; tend to back down when confronted. It is rotten, and it is completely unprofessional. But unfortunately we are almost all a victim at one point or...

    How was LPN school for you?

    MzMouse replied to kerri2686's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It was tough at the time. My biggest challenge was balancing the rest of my life with school. I think any medical knowledge can only help any nursing

    Doctor's office and "nurses"

    MzMouse replied to stunt's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the (apparently) rare clinic that employees nearly all RNs and LPNs. We do have a few MAs that work most behind the scenes, checks-ins, enter labs, etc..... They are fabulous, valuable...

    Scrubs: All solid, or mix and match/prints?

    MzMouse replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    We can only wear prints on certain days; and they are fun once in a while. But I think even if I could wear anything i would stick with solids most of the time. I usually wear a colored top with...

    horror scene

    MzMouse replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In this day and age of no restraints whatsoever and minimal staff to care for and watch over these residents; falls are going to happen. Should we go back to posy restraints in bed and tying...

    it is depressing and dissapointing

    MzMouse replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    90% of my job I love; it's the other 10% I usually end posting about! Unfortunately, we don't tend to post and talk about our wonderful, positive, uplifting experiences. I suppose we don't need to....

    Rude to pt's family?

    MzMouse replied to RiverNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I too read through your original post several times trying to figure where the heck rudeness came into play! My impression is your charge nurse needs to see through some of this and have some faith...

    I yelled at another nurse.

    MzMouse replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I think I work with her identical twin! Frustration gets to all of us and you had every right to be upset. I have had to take more than a few deep breaths and remind myself to keep it

    Grrr... Report!

    MzMouse replied to JustaGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    That was one of the many things I loved about taped reports. I could tape everything in peace without interruptions. We also handed off a written

    MzMouse replied to registerednutrn's topic in General Nursing

    How tragic for the patient. You were a wonderful advocate for your patient; what a shame the physician wouldn't

    What type of nursing is best for an introvert?

    MzMouse replied to Llynn's topic in General Nursing

    I am more of an introvert and I really liked nights. Not as many people around and it tends to be more of a close-knit group. I now work in a clinic and like it a lot. Clinic nursing is nearly...

    Poor working relationship with doctor

    MzMouse replied to certma's topic in General Nursing

    I think explaining that you and the physician were not a good fit should be a sufficient explanation. Any manager should understand that as it happens all the time. I have been working in a medical...

    can you be successful in nursing if

    MzMouse replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    Most nurses I know are not good at math and downright hate it! Personally I love all things science and that came very easy. You can most certainly still become a nurse. Putting those subjects to...

    "Women Are Catty"

    MzMouse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to say it's just a generalization, but I have to say there is a lot of catty behavior out

    MzMouse replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Of course he should have come to your first. Some people love to tattle to the manager/charge nurse about everything. :angryfire You sounded extremely busy that shift. It would have been nice if...
