  1. Now I am really questioning nursing

    kadokin replied to socalirn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh. That is beautiful. It's like you took a page from my own book. Yes it's a difficult profession, but there are so many opportunities for growth, as a person as well as a nurse. Just as a...

  2. Why do unit nurses have bad reps?

    kadokin replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Sorry, didn't mean to stray. I was referencing an earlier post about ER sending pts off unit to give enemas until clear. I couldn't believe that was actually happening in this day and age. And it...

  4. Why do unit nurses have bad reps?

    kadokin replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Bad management? fuggedaboutit, I am surprised that an insurance co would even consider paying for sending a pt to another unit to give "enemas until clear". Who is picking up the tab for

  5. Worried that experienced nurse may know nothing

    kadokin replied to krob0729's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard it and I've seen it over and over again and I still can't believe it. So MANY people (nurses and others) come to WORK and spend time ON THE CLOCK, not break time, making personal phone...

  6. Should BSNs be paid more?

    kadokin replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    YES! Give all nurses a pay raise. No one but our colleagues know how much we deserve it, though. The general public/admin/docs, tends to see only the most flagrant violators of the nursing code,...

  8. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    kadokin replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    To quote Homer Simpson, "I dunno". Drawing on a lifetime of experience, give a fool enough rope and they will hang themselves w/it. I mean, is there anything you CAN do in a situation like this....

    kadokin replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

  12. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    kadokin replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    nurses who tell me they are not "into" bedpans and that sort of nursing(usually green or students). I have to laugh behind my hand and think to myself, "well then why didn't you go to law school or...

  13. Should BSNs be paid more?

    kadokin replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    To those of you who get a premium for BSN: Do you ever wonder who will get the shaft if staff cuts are in order? As a BSN, I would love to be given premium pay for my degree. If for no other...

  14. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    kadokin replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! In nursing school, a BSN program, mind you, our instructor referred to "sonimeters" as a measurement of cervical dilation. The first time I had ever heard of a "sonimeter". A new addition...

  18. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    kadokin replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    Amen to that. I know this is harsh and, for what it's worth, it goes against my personal policy of TEAMWORK GETS THE JOB DONE, but if those nurses who are the cheif "tattle tales" have time to write...

    kadokin replied to aprilleverett's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  24. What kind of person???

    kadokin replied to bise75's topic in Psychiatric

    Psych nurse, here I would have to go w/narcissistic personality disorder, or just plain narcissist. I am also curious why you are sure it's not sociopathic. Does not sound like borderline...

    kadokin replied to FrostedGlass's topic in Psychiatric
