For the 1st time in my Nursing career (since 2001) I'm thinking about changing my profession. I can't take it anymore. My boss has created a terrible working environment. She has came in and turned...
I'm having a little trouble with this one. I'm not saying your friend is lying, but I had a good friend who was diverting and was eventually caught. They did everything in their power to help her keep...
It is extremely hard for even an experienced Nurse to get a job right now. I dont think we have a Nursing shortage in our area... we have too many Nurses and not enough jobs. A cousin of mine is a...

We have house keepers, but we still have the responsibility of pulling trash and linen when it gets full. I usually just tie up the bags and put them by the door. We also have 4 couplets and...

Those are some wonderful ideas!!! Her plan is to get volunteer's from day shift to come to nights for 8 weeks. She is going to rotate us out.. 3 at a time. So far she has had one Nurse volunteer and...

We are in the process and it has been a bumpy road. We get to deal with starving Infants during the night. I don't care what the experts say. I know a hungry baby when I see one and many ARE hungry....
I think your hospital is nuts. If this Mother wants to feed her Infant breast milk then that is her business. I'm sure she made sure the milk was coming from a safe donor. Some people are so uptight...

Our policy states we can't pull a foley or get them OOB until 12 hours post op. They remain on anaesthesia orders for 24 hours. as long as they have voided on their own, we d/c the IV @ 24 hrs. They...
No. It was forced upon the American people. I know several doctors in my area who are going to go ahead and take an early retirement because they know Medicaid rarely pays now. What will happen when...
I understand your disgust. I would be very upset. The OB's at my hospital would never get away with that... I have known PPROM to be on steroids & antibiotics for weeks with daily CBC's. Report...
