  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

  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...

  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...

  4. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

  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...

  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...

  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...

  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,...

  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...

  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...

  11. Getting Flack from "real nurses"

    janettalinda replied to Mcbrello's topic in Online Distance 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...

  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...

  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...

  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...

  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...

  16. New director is a nazi

    janettalinda replied to olddog1's topic in Emergency

    "Someone", not all the staff, wrote a threatening letter and that "Someone" should be fired and, perhaps, reported to the law. This letter is no excuse for the manager to be screaming in a staff...

  17. New director is a nazi

    janettalinda replied to olddog1's topic in Emergency

    PS: It isn't only managers that can write letters to be placed in personel folders. All of those staff members can also write letters and describe this managers conduct. "We all have melt downs."...

  18. New director is a nazi

    janettalinda replied to olddog1's topic in Emergency

    If the manager wants help from her staff she should try asking for it and then actually listening to her staff (when does that ever happen). The idea that staff should put up with being screamed at by...

  19. sick and tired of defending working in geriatrics..

    janettalinda replied to ulmaulma's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked LTC for a few years in a beautiful facility, great staff, and I loved the residents and their families. I was on my feet most of day, busy, but not frantic. Those were the good old days....

  20. New director is a nazi

    janettalinda replied to olddog1's topic in Emergency

    I don't think Olddog was trying to make light of genecide, but point taken about calling any small time tyrant a Nazi. This supervisor has to go. And the nurses should never be threatening...

  21. A Generation of Wimps?

    janettalinda replied to EDNewbie's topic in Emergency

    OK so they tell me you know you're over the hill when you start complaining about the younger generation. Well then, I guess that makes me over the hill. We grew up 30 miles from nearest hospital so...

  22. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

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

    (sorry, I got cut off) There is ALWAYS somithing you can do. We are not powerless. For starters open your mouth and say "I am not here to babysit your children." And by the way, I am solidly...

  23. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

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

    So now nurses can add babysitting to their list of duties? This takes the cake. Datonite, there is

  24. There is no real nurse shortage?

    janettalinda replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    PRN nursing is the only way I have survived nursing. Thank God, I have that option or I would be one of those nurses not working as a nurse at all. I cannot count the young nurses I've met who worked...

  25. How do you deal with all the bickering and backstabbing at work?

    janettalinda replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, absolutely confront these mean spirited fellow nurses. I agree with you to also confront abuse of others, didn't mean to impy that I only stick up for myself. Thank you for making that
