I think that it is something that shouldn't even be considered from the start. Everyone knows about student-teacher relationships. My opinion is that it should remain a professional relationship until the schooling is complete. If it is real then it...
One of my coworkers has me wanting to quit. She is very strange. She has made numerous med-errors, signs off treatments that she hasn't done, gives narcotics without signing them off, and then goes around telling everyone that she is a "strickly by t...
Mine isn't about work but its still funny. My 3 year old was playing with a toy. All of a sudden she sprang up and said "i have a button up my nose". Well we all looked, even got a flashlight out, had her open up her mouth, the whole nine yards, ...
Lima has a home town pizza . The name of the place is Fat Jack's. Their thin pizza is the bomb! Steve's Dakota Grill, in Mansfield has the best Porterhouse steaks. They come to your table still sizzling! And the lasagna at my house is to die for! My ...
When i read the posted threads i notice what time they were posted too. The time is always about 5 hours a head of me. I wonder if it is the time zone it comes from or if it is just a time error. but still, are any of you out there from a timezone ot...
Our place is supposed to have an open door policy. There are rumors that fly around there all the time tho. and rumors that a nurse is calling the board always warns our supervisor who calls the BON and speaks to her friend. Then this nurse always se...
Thank You All for your help on this matter. Now I know that what I have been doing isn't enough to ensure the safety of my pts. Now I just need to contact the right people and see what I can do about her. Now I know why I am a member of this site and...
how do i do that if those in the chain of command claim to have friends on the BON? I feel really afraid to step on any toes but yet i really feel like something needs to be done about her.
I have kept my own documentation for several months now. It seems that i keep writing down the same things, and our charge nurse is very aware of what she does too. For about a year now, he has had our unit clerk auditing everything that she is told ...
I am 36 years old. Mother of two beautiful girls, 16 and 3. The love of my life. Working long-term care for three years. I really love it. But we have no respect for each other in my unit, so I am moving to another unit soon. I grew up all over the ...
i have wanted to be a nurse since i was four years old. i was the kid in the neighborhood who always had band-aids and cotton balls and iodine. All my friends came to me to fix their boo-boos. My parents told me i wasn't smart enough and didn't get g...

I am offended by ANYONE who does not stand up for our profession. Letting others degrade us by portraying us as sex objects, bimbos, airheads, ect, means that we agree with their opinions of us. Personally, I am a single parent with two girls who ...

There was a time when i would say that nursing was a career only for those that were called to do so. But recently at my place of employment, just about anybody can do my job. Our unit manager hires people who definately are not cut out to be nurses,...
Best job : working at wal-mart electronics department. We had a blast. Music, computers, cds, dvds, party all day long and get paid for it. Worst job: sand blaster at a pan coating plant. I couldn't get rid of the sand! it was always EVERYWHERE!...
I agree that JCAHO inspections should be unannounced. Our facility is a joke when they are there. We have more staff than we ever have, usually working understaffed ( like everyone else!) Our documentation is off the charts! If JCAHO showed up una...

even the most gentle of nurses, make it hurt every now and then. every patient is different and so are the textures of their skin. practice makes painless
