1. All White Uniform Dress Code?!!

   janettalinda replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

   I have no idea what you mean by this. Just exactly what is it that "liberals" are making "mandatory" that you object to? Please be specific. Thank You.

2. Union

   janettalinda replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

   Check out the healthcare rankings for the 50 states. Which ten are in the top ten and which states are in the bottom ten? Uinions fight for BETTER pt care, not worse. Good working conditions equal better pt care. Many none union facilities have no w...

3. I experience physical symptoms when I think about my job!

   janettalinda replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think the cry-baby advice fits here with this situation. They pile on 15 or 20 pts and we're just supposed to accept it? I agree with the listen-to-your-body advice. There may be a valid reason to stick it out until Feb, I don't know. But the...

5. I experience physical symptoms when I think about my job!

   janettalinda replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

   When I first moved to Texas I couldn't believe how terrible the working conditions were here. Worst I've ever seen. I quit nursing job after nursing job. I had jobs that actually gave me nightmares and stress attacks. Life is too short for that. Well...

6. All White Uniform Dress Code?!!

   janettalinda replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

   I would tell management "you can mandate any uniform you want and I can work anywhere I want, so bye-bye." I have worn all the white I"m ever gonna wear in this lifetime. What's next? Those stupid hats? Nursing seems to be going back back back to the...

7. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

   janettalinda replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

   If a doctor brot his child with him to visit me as a patient, I would refuse to pay for the visit. Even if only to poke thier head in door and say "how are you." Don't even answer this question! They charge for it as if it were an actual visit. I onc...

8. New director is a nazi

   janettalinda replied to olddog1's topic in Emergency

   Olddog, welcome back. I thot we lost you. Shooee! Seems like we should be able to state our dislike for a word without ripping into a person like a pack of vicious dogs. (I apologize to all canines, including my own, especially my own) They act like ...

9. Union

   janettalinda replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

   I've been a shop steward and been on bargaining committee x2. We sit across the table from each other (union and management) as equals and NEGOCIATE re: working conditions, wages, etc. This is an adult to adult relationship. Without a union, we have ...

10. things you wish you could tell the doctor

    janettalinda replied to celery's topic in General Nursing

    Learn how to write a correct order and then we won't have to call you to clarify. (Doc was yelling about being called.) If nurses are the eyes and ears of the doctor, then you are working blind and deaf because you have no respect for nursing observ...

11. Getting Flack from "real nurses"

    janettalinda replied to Mcbrello's topic in Online Learning

    I don't care what "real nurses" have to say about me as long as I get a real paycheck. Some people need to put others down to build themselves up (at least in their own eyes). I like your positive attitude. Keep on trucking. "Take it easy but take it...

12. Overhaul of health care system needed to address nursing understaffing?

    janettalinda replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my experience of nursing over the years. For years working conditions were actually improving, and wages increasing. A few years ago, maybe ten years ago, things started going downhill. Working condition are going downhill! I'm hearing about u...

13. Families from Hell

    janettalinda replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    I'm amazed to see yet another duty added to the nurses list of duties. Now we are expected to change Depends for our pt's visitors! You're right, Ruby, this thread is sometimes very funny. Anyone who doesn't like it, should go to another thread. I'm ...

14. A Generation of Wimps?

    janettalinda replied to EDNewbie's topic in Emergency

    This is pretty funny, we are all complaining about the younger generation and the older generation, but our own generation is, of cours, perfect. I include myself here. I'm not complaining, only amused.

15. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    janettalinda replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    Ruby Vee, I've never seen this anywhere-doctors rounding with their kids and expecting nurses to provide free child care in addition to their nursing duties. But I LOVED your response. You go girl. We need more nurses like you!
