  1. HELP!

    Scrubby posted a topic in General Nursing

    I can't say too much because I don't want anyone from work reading this but I've just been verbally assaulted by a surgeon. Basic story: Surgeon had poor behaviour even bragging about swearing at and...

  2. HELP!

    Scrubby replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    Update: Well apparantly the person has been spoken to about it. Interestingly enough they felt too unwell to come to my OR today. The person in charge of dealing with this basically told me that in...

  3. I dont handle lazy aides well

    Scrubby replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps romie worded their post a little aggressively, but I have to agree with them that in the end the Registered Nurse is responsible for supervising and delegating tasks to patients. There are...

  4. Sick of NURSES who say they HATE NURSING!! Another Vent

    Scrubby replied to SDA3694's topic in General Nursing

    We can't get sent anywhere else in the hospital we're too specialised. As a scrub/scout nurse I am no longer qualified in giving any sort of medication at all because we don't do this in the OR, drugs...

  5. Sick of NURSES who say they HATE NURSING!! Another Vent

    Scrubby replied to SDA3694's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: I really hope you don't ever experience job burnout. It can be so debilitating to go to work everyday and feel no passion in what your doing and dread coming in the next day. I'm at the...

  6. In need of some advice...

    Scrubby replied to bebot_19's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from Australia and not really sure about NCLEX, we just pass the university course, present our transcript to the board and that's enough to be registered. Anyway my advice to you is to have a...

  7. new grad 'picked on'

    Scrubby replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard for me to make a judgement on this. Perhaps there were other incidents that happened that he hasn't told you that are you are not aware of where he was in the wrong?, I'm not accusing anyone...

  8. HELP!

    Scrubby replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    The sheets were not thrown angrily because the surgeon was confident at that stage that they could get away with disrespectful behaviour. They were thrown at me as though I was a lowly servant. The...

  9. Do you regret becoming a Nurse?? Why?

    Scrubby replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    When I go through days like I had yesterday (see thread titled HELP!) I sometimes have to wonder. It's not the work that I find the problem. I love my job, it's interesting and I learn so much...

  10. HELP!

    Scrubby replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I'll give some more information. Five minutes after bragging about insulting this nurse (the med student looked disgusted but I'm not hoping they will back my story because they won't want to get...

  11. Nurses on strike-is it even possible?

    Scrubby replied to braddah's topic in General Nursing

    In Australia we have universal health care as well, yet we still go on strike. It doesn't matter if the hospital gets no money because nurses going on strike can cause problems for the politicians....

  12. HELP!

    Scrubby replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I've writen a letter of complaint about this, this is beyond a hissy fit this is verbal assault. I want The Jerk to understand that you can't get away with intimidating nurses. The hospital is...

  13. Compassion.... why is it so hard to give some?

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

    i completely disagree here. if you can't find a vein, you're having a bad day rather than taking it out ony our patient you need to behave like a professional and seek counselling, take time off work,...

  14. Is this too much?? Or am I just new??

    Scrubby replied to stephanienicole87's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in a nursing home and yes they were very careful not to waste supplies but we always had soap available. I woul not work for an organisation that was so stingy, in fact I would be...

  15. What do you do with a problem supervisor?

    Scrubby replied to RuRnurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't see anything wrong with believing in bad vibes and karma, but it sounds like this person cannot be reasoned with and has poor interpersonal skills. Trying to bully someone into giving a...

  16. Post grads .....or not?

    Scrubby replied to glam1's topic in International Nursing

    I only did my grad year because I wouldn't have gotten a job in the OR if I didn't, it's a requirement for RN's to do a grad year. I'm one of those people who knew what specialty I wanted to do after...

  17. What's the easiest job in the operating room?

    Scrubby replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    I would say that the easiest job in the OR is the anaesthetic nurse. They assist with intubation, extubation and during the case most of the ones at my work will just sit in the break room and walk...

  18. Staff acting like mean girls what do you do

    Scrubby replied to amiconfused's topic in General Nursing

    One of the units I worked on in my grad year had a very similar problem to what you described and had a bad reputation throughout the hospital. There were about 8 nurses in this group, 3 of them were...

  19. Why Do Nurses Write: "no new orders received"?

    Scrubby replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    If I've told the doc anything about a change in the patients status I will document what and who I informed, and will always write 'continue to observe'. I have never seen or written 'no new orders...

  20. Staff acting like mean girls what do you do

    Scrubby replied to amiconfused's topic in General Nursing

    I would be polite and friendly with them and if they choose to act like teenagers do not make it YOUR problem. You say that many of the staff are tight, this implies that there are other staff who...

  21. Favortism in the workplace

    Scrubby replied to stillwant2banurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't mention it either. Favoutism happens everywhere and to be honest unless people are leaving in droves and they cannot staff a unit, HR have more important things to deal with. This is...

  22. Germophobic considering Nursing. please help!

    Scrubby replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Sighs. I really wish people here on allnurses would go and actually READ what the definition of what an internet troll is. I'm getting a little tired of people starting a thread to ask whether their...

  23. Nurses getting screwed over....

    Scrubby replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above responses. Nurses CANNOT afford to just sit quietly and say nothing. You don't have to be a loudmouth and yell constantly and be aggresive to everyone, in fact this is just as...

  24. giving, giving, giving...until I'm gone

    Scrubby replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I truly feel your pain lanabanana. Some days I come home and i just have no energy to do anything because it's all been given away at work. My partner usually has to cook dinner most nights because...

  25. Frustrated and considering a career change

    Scrubby replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    I think you've missed my point completely so I'll spell it out for u.... Saying to someone that you cannot control the responses, and then criticising their method of responding seemed hypocritical to...
