  2. Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

    dec2007 replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, the current emphasis on "patient satisfaction" leads some people to feel they DO have the "right" to be abusive to hospital staff, and management often makes us feel that we DO have an...

  3. Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

    dec2007 replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

    You did your very best as a good and faithful nurse. Some people just are not nice people. When nasty people get sick they don't become nicer; they are just sick nasty people. I know this doesn't fix...

  4. Ethical issue?

    dec2007 replied to nursesmatter's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who has experienced this from the patient's viewpoint, I can tell you that having my family withhold information made me feel lied to and betrayed. The health care worker who told me the...

  5. Which is it? Coolest and most glamorous nursing jobs

    dec2007 replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    From the outside looking in I'd have to say I always admire the flight nurses an awful lot! They show up at our ICU to transport patients in their flight suits with tons of equipment they manager to...

  6. How to deal with a bully patient?

    dec2007 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    dec2007 replied to karlamparo's topic in General Nursing

    The reality is that EBP nursing interventions get a lot of administrative lip service, but what they REALLY care about is those doggone satisfaction

  9. No Overtime

    dec2007 replied to ms_vee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Good answers from all the above posters. After 25 years I'm no longer patient... I'd just make a report to the Labor Relations Board now and save yourself the frustration. Good luck

  10. Just a question

    dec2007 replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    I saw that. In fact, that is kind of what got me to thinking about it. I personally prefer the bedside, but I work with a lot of others who have different plans. That was what made me wonder what...

  11. Living is a hard habit to break

    dec2007 replied to anitalaff's topic in General Nursing

    I did not vote either, because my view of end of life care is a bit different. What I can say, is bless you for being available and nonjudgmental with this man in the time when he most needs support...

  12. Scheduling harassment

    dec2007 replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to justify WHY you don't want to change your schedule. Use caller ID, and only answer the phone if it is someone you want to talk

  13. Please help, this is complicated.

    dec2007 replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    No, you are NOT selfish! It is natural to grieve your loss, whether you are at work or at home. And that would be my only concern. If work helps you cope, by all means work. But don't stuff down your...

  16. I have a real problem with ancillary staff and am at my wits end. I need help.

    dec2007 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I hesitate to submit this issue, as I know that most Techs, Aides, and HUCS are dedicated and professional, and that I could NOT do my job without these coworkers. Therein lies the problem. On the...

  19. Too much facebook

    dec2007 replied to orangelate's topic in General Nursing

    "Try to limit the irritants!" is the best advice ever, not just at work, but in life in general. Don't buy into the

  20. Discrimination for being a new mom?

    dec2007 replied to Karn88's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read all the posts, so forgive me if I repeat what someone else has said. I think this sounds a great deal like an example of favoritism for the manager's friend. It happens a lot! It is a...

    dec2007 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    This is eloquent and accurate!!! My only addition to the "bad manager" list is this: managers should not hire, nor protect from firing, incompetent friends and

  23. Manager catch phrases

    dec2007 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We must be working from the same script!! And the funny thing is that, after hearing literally everyone who comes in the room use the same words, the patients and families KNOW it's a script and not...
