  1. Mandatory Flu shots

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People also like to put food on their tables, and it is not so easy to find another job in the current economy. In this country we should be able to live without the threat of any entity, public or...

  2. Mandatory Flu shots

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wake up people. The USA is not as free as it once was, and I am amazed at the population who seem to not mind one bit as long as they feel "safe." We are losing our freedoms, and a mandatory flu...

  3. Sad day in the USA

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

    I know people from Canada, England, and a few nurses who have worked in countries where there is socialized medicine, and each person has told me it is not a good thing. So for every person who just...

  4. Sad day in the USA

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

  5. Sad day in the USA

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

    I respectfully disagree. It IS my money. If I did not work my tail off, they would not get it from

  6. Bad Day

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    Cheer up David! You wouldn't be human if you did not have those nights. Some people may think they are super nurses, but they are not. Only I am.

  7. giving report to rude nurses

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    These seem to be the same people who go into management. I don't think they should be allowed to breed, because they are in every hospital, in every state in the country...even the WORLD. There are...

  8. Time Management or Personal Boundaries?

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I get the feeling from my co-workers that I don't have time management down, because I'm usually running behind. This is usually from nurses who have all of their charting and MAR checks...

  9. Why does only nursing have to put the patients first?

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to puke several months ago at a hospital wide customer service rah rah meeting when people from other departments were sharing heart warming stories about how they saved the day because some...

  10. Got fire because manager said I need some critical thinking

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to HNursing's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a sweet person, and my heart goes out to you. I think that with a little determination you can turn this around, and learn from it. I work with many excellent nurses for whom English...

  11. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bet Mr. 37 y.o. S/O would have been BEGGING for an epidural if HE had been the one going through labor pains. I'm always amazed by family members who think they know better than the patient how...

  12. SNOTTY MA claiming to be a nurse!!!!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I see that you are 19 years old, and there is nothing wrong with that, but when I was that age I had a lot to learn. I am 36, and I am very proud of the title RN, and I am humbled by the...

  13. I am not in the medical field yet I would respectfully like to ask a quick question.

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to James 1967's topic in General Nursing

    I meant no harshness in my statement. I was just expressing my take on it. I too was a CNA before becoming a nurse, and have always been kind to a fault where people have run me ragged and taken...

  14. I am not in the medical field yet I would respectfully like to ask a quick question.

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to James 1967's topic in General Nursing

    Coming from a nurses perspective, it seems that sometimes perfectly capable people come to the hospital and suddenly can't even wipe their own rear-ends. It gets frustrating, and we're human and...

  15. Pt.'s partner asked to have intercourse with a stoma !

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    What a sick world this is

  16. New Grad

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to teddybear77's topic in General Nursing

    Those nurses are witches, and every floor in every hospital in the country has them. I'll bet you my entire weeks paycheck that when you get report from those nurses in return, they'll dump on you...

  17. new admission 45 minutes before your shift is over..what do you do?

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to glamgalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would gladly stay over at the end of the shift as well for any emergency situation, whether it was my patient or to help another nurse out. Most nurses I work with are the same way. It is...

  18. new admission 45 minutes before your shift is over..what do you do?

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to glamgalRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you have time and you are caught up with the rest of your work, then do as much as you can. If you are running behind, then get the patient settled in. You cannot do it all, and neither can the...

  19. More than 5 sick days taken in a year and disciplinary action ensues

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a sick time abuser, but I would totally call in sick if I had to put my dog down and not feel the least bit sorry or guilty for it! I wouldn't admit to my employer that was the reason, but I...

  20. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurses I work with, who have worked in foreign countries, say it is not a good

  21. Smelly co-worker

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You said she smells like a dirty mop. I wonder if she leaves her clothing in the washing machine until it sours/mildews? I'd want to know if I was stinking up the joint. I would kindly tell

  22. afraid of change

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you would definitely benefit from working on a med/surg or med/tele floor for awhile. You sound like you have a sweet spirit, and you need to get out there and share it with others! I tend...

  23. Does everyone hate doing "peer evaluations"

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    How awful. I don't see how that could benefit anyone, other than to divide co-workers. Peer Evaluations should be in the top 10 on the list of "How to Alienate People." I'll take an honest...

  24. Nurse Assistants are vital to our health

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to chinoyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds familiar to our staffing, and I am exhausted all of the time. My arms and back kill me at the end of my shifts. It is not uncommon to get all total cares either. I feel like my charting and...

  25. Patients son who is a MD violating HIPPA & is just a jerk!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    That man is a creep and has issues. A normal person would have respected your position and gotten his mom's information the proper way. Are you just expected to look at him and know he is an...
