  1. Relocating

    RN1989 replied to angiemc's topic in Texas Nursing

    From what I have heard from other posters, AZ has better employers and better money for the responsibility. Haven't been to Corpus in years so not sure how their economy is but I can tell you that the...

  2. What ice storm? Get yourself to work!!

    RN1989 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    Snow is a much different situation than ice. And I have found that it is much more dangerous to attempt the drive when you live in the more southern areas and this happens. People in TX are not...

  3. How many times did you switch jobs as a RN?

    RN1989 replied to RNroseshea's topic in General Nursing

    Switched enough times to keep me from leaving nursing altogether. Agency work helped a lot so I could keep my sanity and ignore the baloney politics between

  4. Help....I'm being harassed in the workplace

    RN1989 replied to goodgyrl's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to break it to you, but this is what you should always be expecting when you are a float/agency/traveler/contracter. Is it right? No. But it is the norm. Whether they act as though they like...

  5. Pulling Meds for Multiple Patients

    RN1989 replied to trustsupplyguy's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering if the "time saving" that many people are talking about is related to many nurse's inherent "me first" attitude when it comes to taking turns at the med cart. Every facility that I...

  6. a med from transfer sheet missed caused injury

    RN1989 replied to leeposh's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, it is better to fire them immediately. I have found in healthcare though that if there is an issue regarding being able to replace that person, they may wait until something happens. I've had...

  7. Pimples, blackheads and acne

    RN1989 replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. a med from transfer sheet missed caused injury

    RN1989 replied to leeposh's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Most likely they felt that having her onstaff was a lawsuit risk. They may have gotten papers from an attorney which is why they waited the two months. The nurse would have to have a lot of...

  9. Bad experience last night

    RN1989 replied to BloomGirl's topic in General Nursing

    If they don't hang IVF with bicarb in it that is an indication that their nursing staff is either poorly trained or severely overworked, or are using it as an excuse to dump pts elsewhere. Bicarb is...

  10. a little knowledge is dangerous

    RN1989 replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    I am soooooo glad that I don't have to deal with that woman. I think she needs a little therapy - something along the lines of

  11. Pulling Meds for Multiple Patients

    RN1989 replied to trustsupplyguy's topic in General Nursing

    JCAHO regulations require that the MAR be taken to the pt's room and not simply checked before going to the room. I believe that it is in a nurse's best interest to take the meds, unopened, to the...

    RN1989 replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    That was pretty

  13. Scroll down to read letter to editor about low wages & UPMC

    RN1989 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    He's only 27? He's barely old enough to wipe his own behind! Sorry, I might be "age-ist" but I really wonder where a 27 year old has gotten enough life experience and wisdom to be a mayor. A...

  14. is management right for me?

    RN1989 replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Management

    Not everyone is meant to be a manager. It takes a very strong person to be the "bad guy". It takes even more strength to be the boss and still uphold your morals and ethics in the face of extreme...

  15. Anyone working as a nurse at laredo medical center?? pls give info

    RN1989 replied to babyblue18's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have to disagree with the above poster about living in Laredo. I understand that you are probably desperate to get into the U.S. which is why you are looking at trying to get them to sponsor you....

  16. Scroll down to read letter to editor about low wages & UPMC

    RN1989 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    MOST hospitals, for and no profit, have monies that they give as charitable contributions. Most for profits actually have money set aside in a special fund for this and many no profit have special...

  17. Radio Talk Show Host Calls Nurses"Kevorkian Fan Club"!!

    RN1989 replied to Simplepleasures's topic in General Nursing

    I just read Mr. Fischer's blog regarding the nurses that called in. I am sorry to say that I believe that this is not a winnable situation and that by continuing to send this man a response will only...

    RN1989 replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like some JCAHO violations to

  19. Rough start to nursing...Please help

    RN1989 replied to xcspeed100's topic in Nursing Career

    I hate to tell you this but I think you are a little idealistic about nursing today. You say that you want a job that will allow you to build relationships with pts. Then you say that the manager and...

  20. New RN already ready to quit!

    RN1989 replied to RNroseshea's topic in General Nursing

    You will have to decide where to go from here. I am hoping that you have clued in to the extent of the facilitie's problems since there has been quite a bit of turnover in management. In addition,...

  21. MR/DD or ICU???

    RN1989 replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Go with ICU job. I don't think that 9 months of med-surg is enough of a knowledge base for you to function safely in a supervisory role without other experienced staff support. MR/DD pts can't tell...

  22. "Thanks For Caring!!!"

    RN1989 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN to that Mercy and JLS! I find it pathetic that some adults need this kind of feedback to be motivated to do their jobs. And the people that think this works on everyone are part of the group that...

  23. "Thanks For Caring!!!"

    RN1989 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: AMEN Mercy! You are preaching to the choir. Isn't it ridiculous that adults can't do their jobs unless their egos are stroked like little

  24. Relocating to Texas

    RN1989 replied to MelBel's topic in Texas Nursing

    Dallas/Ft. Worth has salaries that are NOT commensurate with the cost of living. They also have a higher incidence of problems with Group One (do a search on this forum for Group One to find out...

  25. "Thanks For Caring!!!"

    RN1989 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I truly hate that kind of stuff. :barf01:But I have experienced it from the other side - as the manager. There really are training seminars that the hospitals use and teach us to say that kind of...
