    I was a victim of sexual assault.

    MzMouse replied to wildmountainchild's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry this happened. I think you handled it so well. Unfortunately so many women don't even report these

    Most "Clueless" Thing YOUR Manager has Done

    MzMouse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job and I am ready to quit; all at the same time. Most of the latter feelings stem from my clueless Nurse Manager. 1. She talks out of both sides of her mouth. One minute she is...

    When Keeping up is Impossible.....

    MzMouse replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I could never understand this. When a nurse is comes on, it's usually pretty obvious that that your coworker coming off has been running their behind off. What do some hope to accomplish by...

    Nurses...Miserable?

    MzMouse replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This made me smile because I have had the same thing happen. I think it contributes to the "miserable nurse" theory. We are busy, concentrating on our jobs and forget to smile....heaven forbid! I...

    Leave your high stress career for....nursing!

    MzMouse replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I am imagining some poor sucker taking this seriously. He/she would be in for quite a

    Submitted my two week notice today

    MzMouse replied to trsa34's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow. Please don't feel like this was on you. You were given no chance to succeed and completely right to resign. No teamwork makes any nursing job near impossible. The person who called you...

    what am I missing here?

    MzMouse replied to cafenurse1112's topic in General Nursing

    This is a perfect example why you have to be very careful of what you share of your personal life at work. I used to work with gal who shared everything with everyone. Work a shift with her and you...

    Need to vent (over a very petty issue)

    MzMouse replied to Trophywife81's topic in General Nursing

    The two previous posters pretty much read my mind. If a rolled up Kleenex is bothering her, she is in for a rough road as a

    The Sad Things In My Nursing Home That I Cant Change!

    MzMouse replied to proud2b1's topic in General Nursing

    so true. my manager finally popped her head out of her office on an especially crazy day to find out why a room light was ringing. huh...we are all tied up with other patients!!! maybe you could...

    Jealous Wife!!!

    MzMouse replied to MurseHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    We all develop a bond with our fellow nursing students when we are in school. It's a very stressful time and we need that support to help us make it through. For your wife to expect you to not be...

    Do you think most nurses can afford to work part time?

    MzMouse replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked part time my entire nursing career. My husband earns a good living and we chose not to have

    "Insulted" a family member.....sigh...

    MzMouse replied to 1993RNGrad's topic in General Nursing

    The selfish, me-first attitude of some people never fails to amaze me, not to mention some people's idea of an emergency. I am so glad your manager saw through the nonsense and backed you

    Fellow RN died this morning.

    MzMouse replied to Ali_Oop07's topic in General Nursing

    How horrible. I am so

    Got the phone call, not the letter

    MzMouse replied to Penny8611's topic in General Nursing

    Best wishes to both of you. Remember that the vast majority of callbacks result in nothing at all. Radiologists are a cautious bunch. My second mammogram of my life resulted in a callback for an...

    You don't LOOK like a nurse

    MzMouse replied to NHCNurse's topic in General Nursing

    What an inane statement. Nurses come in all shapes, sizes, ages and genders. I wouldn't give it another

    "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    MzMouse replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    I have a coworker who comes in 15 minutes late every day. She has two small children and wasn't able to get them up, ready and to daycare without being chronically late. Manager reached the point of...

    Rather work with men or women?

    MzMouse replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with terrific male and female nurses. Competent, caring nurses come in both sexes. I don't like working with back-stabbers with poor work ethic. I have worked with men and women with...

    See if I offer to help YOU again...

    MzMouse replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    After that performance, I certainly hope you didn't have to stay. I can only hope she was having an incredibly bad day. No excuse for going off on you like that. Good grief. Enjoy your ten days...

    Should I say something to this student?

    MzMouse replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Nursing

    The ball got dropped several times on this poor patient; the student, the instructor, the CNA on staff assigned to her and ultimately the staff nurse. In my opinion the proper route of reporting...

    Do you ever talk about your 'bad' patients?

    MzMouse replied to aruray's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is the rare nurse who has never vented about a difficult patient. It is part of our survival sometimes. Some of it can be good for continuation of care, or, as several have said, a...

    Rules of Nursing "Office Politics"

    MzMouse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    To further elaborate on the subject of watching what you say to superiors: be careful in staff meeting. I spoke up as the lone dissenter on a topic that Manager asked for thoughts. She always...

    Nurse not seeming to care

    MzMouse replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I can only hope she simply forgot and wasn't blowing you, and the patient, off. You did absolutely the right thing and I hope your patient is

    What the heck is a Netie pot?

    MzMouse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't wait to try this; I have had chronic sinus trouble for

    "No, I am not pregnant"

    MzMouse replied to Tysmommy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was watching a comedian recently who joked the only time you should ask if I woman is pregnant is if you can see the baby coming out. Probably not bad

    Rules of Nursing "Office Politics"

    MzMouse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you are quietly doing your job you are aloof and not being friendly enough to your coworkers. If you are caught laughing and joking, even if it's the first minute even resembling a break all day;...
