  1. Nurses Are Professionals? Oh Really?

    Scrubby replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not engage in communicating with patients about other nurses/staff. I think it's highly unprofessional and may as others on this thread have said lead to the patient disagreeing. This whole...

  4. If you could no longer work as a nurse, what would you do?

    Scrubby replied to LockportRN's topic in General Nursing

    I like the bookshop idea. I would love to open up a bookshop catering entirely to sci-fi/fantasy, have a little coffee shop

  5. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    Scrubby replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm you can type the F word and get an explanation from the same dictionary, still doesn't make it a polite word to use in everyday conversation. Incidently, the f word and druggy are both considered...

  6. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    Scrubby replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    Oh please. Nursing students WILL judge us whether we like it or not. Nursing is not a vacuum on compassion, communication and interaction. And also, we're supposed to be role models remember? I like a...

  7. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    Scrubby replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    The OP's post was unprofessional and demonstrates an extremely judgemental attitude. The term 'druggy' is insulting and 'i'm wondering what the hell I'm doing with this creep', 'give me that back...

  8. I Acted terribly unprofessional today...

    Scrubby replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that maybe some counselling is needed as it sounds like you have to deal with what happened when you were younger. You can't pick and choose your patients. I must admit that I too find it...

  9. Got fired... again. Should I not be a nurse?

    Scrubby replied to Sarah K, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested to know if you filed an incident report? I know I would if someone just left medications lying around like that and I was given an unreasonable workload. By reporting this as unsafe...

  11. Hungry Nurse or Troublemaker?

    Scrubby replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    How dare you want to eat and not work on your unpaid break, you should be ashamed of yourself!!! :chuckle This nurse is a shining example of why nursing is stuck in 19th century conditions. I get...

  12. Has nursing in Australia been sold out ?

    Scrubby replied to Preston Northcote's topic in International Nursing

    I guess I haven't found this the case with my specialty because I work in theatre and we don't have technicians....yet and my fellow nurses will fight tooth and nail to keep them out or if not under...

  13. hospital policy on Facebook, cellphones= suspension

    Scrubby replied to ChristinaEDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously think you need to lighten up on this one and stop being so judgemental. So a few nurses have a life and like to have fun and party. Who cares? I have facebook pictures of me wearing a...

  14. I can't handle it when kittens die...how can I be a nurse?

    Scrubby replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is going to probably sound politically incorrect but I can handle the suffering of humans much easier than watching animals suffer. I'm glad one of the kittens is still alive and seems to...

  17. Another nurse got fired because of me.

  18. Another nurse got fired because of me.

    Scrubby replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I have a habit of reading threads backwards, start from the last page and work my way to the first post. Several posts further back have mention that YOU gave the identity of the nurse to the family....

  19. Another nurse got fired because of me.

    Scrubby replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I would never disclose a colleagues name to a family member like you did, it's completely unethical and quite frankly I would not want to work with someone who could do this. What if a crazed family...

  20. Another nurse got fired because of me.

    Scrubby replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone else here think the reason nurses don't admit to making medication errors and even covering them up is because they fear retribution? I've read many stories here about nurses losing their...
