  2. The Unwritten Rules of Nursing

    Weeping Willow replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Drop ass"? Doona? Registrar? Somebody please

  3. What would you do?

    Weeping Willow replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    So you're off today(Sunday) and have to work tomorrow evening. Not too bad. You did NOT get your request to work only 4 hours tomorrow, despite another nurse signing up for the other 4 hours....

  4. Some parents amaze me

    Weeping Willow replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, for about 25 years,

  5. Some parents amaze me

    Weeping Willow replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    And you and I get to pay for it all!

  6. Some parents amaze me

    Weeping Willow replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing is, who is licensing the licensers? I do think, though, that this child might have a psychiatric illness. I forget the name of it, not Pica but maybe a form of it, in which people...

  7. How To Handle?

    Weeping Willow replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard to imagine anything more inappropriate than what she did. Your personnel issues are private and you deserve a chance to discuss attendance, etc. in a private setting when your mind is not...

  8. New director is a nazi

    Weeping Willow replied to olddog1's topic in Emergency

    tennnurse, you are not the lone dissenter. to me, "nazi" means a megalomaniacal dictator who targets a certain population, creates a war that kills and maims millions upon millions of civilians and...

  9. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    Weeping Willow replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they should pay her, LOL, just kidding. but really, what patient is going to feel free to object? The pt is in a powerless position compared to the doctor. This is an abuse of the doctor's...

  10. Remarks made to an LPN student

    Weeping Willow replied to amy31's topic in LPN to RN

    She actually might not have meant it in a mean way. Maybe it was her way, albeit misperceived and poorly communicated, of saying that you are good enough at Nursing, smart enough, skilled enough to...

  11. Remarks made to an LPN student

    Weeping Willow replied to amy31's topic in LPN to RN

    Some people are just jerks. Do your own thing. You could always ask her to explain herself. Or you can explain your plan to her, let her know that you just have a plan for yourself, you are doing...

  12. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    Weeping Willow replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    Did they watch the kids? I hope not. What if an emergency had come up? Also, as one poster has said, HIPAA definitely applies. And how many patients are going to have the courage to speak up and...

  13. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    Weeping Willow replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    What was the result? If a doctor did that to me (expected me to watch the child), I'd have walked away and let the toddler crawl wherever. Harsh but that child is not my problem or responsibility....

  14. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    Weeping Willow replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    No but it is totally inappropriate because the child's presence tells me that the doctor's attention is split and is at least partially not on his work. Very wrong to expose kids to illnesses, too....

  15. Excellent News - Power in Speaking Up And Banding Together

    Weeping Willow posted a topic in General Nursing

    It looks like good news for everyone who courageously spoke out against a serious injustice, that of the Saudi gang rape victim who had been sentenced to a lashing and jailing because she had been...

  16. HELP! I need a nursing leader!

    Weeping Willow replied to AlwaysMovingUp's topic in General Nursing

    Wish I could help but I'm just a run of the mill floor nurse. I hope you have plenty of time, you sound kind of rushed. It should be pretty simple to approach a DON at some facility in your town or...

    Weeping Willow replied to PurifiedH2O's topic in Psychiatric

    m/s is not essential but it definitely can't hurt. you will have many patients who have multiple medical and even surgical issues in psych. think of each body system (derm, eent, neuro, gi, gu, gyn,...

  18. Why shift diff nights when days are so busy?

    Weeping Willow replied to Johnny Moo Man's topic in General Nursing

    It is not always true that corners are being cut if staff have time to do the things you list. Maybe the shift is just plain quiet. Also, I have seen Day and Evening nurses bring in their personal...

  19. How to respond to these type of nurses!?

    Weeping Willow replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of people are doing lots of unspeakable things, at least theoretically. Unless you know with certainty that something unsavory is going on, forget it. Even if you do know with certainty, what...

  20. How to respond to these type of nurses!?

    Weeping Willow replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

    You might try a little levity such as, "Wow, you cuss like a longshoreman with Tourette's!" :chuckle:smiletea2: She will be floored. She won't know how to take you. If she gets mad, just throw...

  21. Nurses not responding fast enough-VENT

    Weeping Willow replied to pirap's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who has been around a while, I have to say that I certainly understand both sides - the nurses' side and the patient/family's side. I know that nurses are extremely busy and that they have...

  25. Help Please!!!

    Weeping Willow replied to jpswife's topic in General Nursing
