  1. opinions Crosscountry Travcorp

    Geeg replied to RonT's topic in Travel

    I had a good travel exp with CCTC. In talking w/many different companies, it is my opinion that the larger compaines can't be beat for assignment availability, however they are not as personable and...

  2. Nurses performing Doc's Work in Sydney

    Geeg posted a topic in International Nursing

    I tried reading about this in this site's nsg news section, but couldn't get to the article. What is this all about? I am sure that the nurses did a much better job than the docs would have...

  3. Husband shoots wife and self in Icu in CA

    Geeg posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I read today, how a man went into the ICU in Chula Vista, Ca and pulled the curtain next to his wife's bed, shot her and then turned the gun on himself. The worst part of this is the response given...

  5. To Good Not To Share

    Geeg replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I would have said sure "I'll come in, but it is going to cost you." I think working during scheduled leave requires double time at

  6. customer satisfaction in the er

    Geeg replied to ensense's topic in Emergency

    How did the docs respond to the impostion of the 30 min rule on them? I have found (anecdotallly of course) that docs play a very small role in customer

  7. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    Geeg replied to jdm33351's topic in General Nursing

    The fact is most nurses are still female, so a male nurse is not typical-just as most doctors are male, so a female doctor is not typical. I here pts say female doctor all the time. I don't think...

  8. Virginia Hospital Accidentally Kills Patient

    Geeg replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I still blame the hospitals. They need to provide the safest and most straight forware equipment and adequately train staff to use

  9. NY: More Scrutiny Sought for Health Workers

    Geeg replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The real culprit here are the hospitals. They would rather roll the dice and hope that nobody finds out when pts die secondary to staff negligence. This is much more advantageous than the public...

  10. moms and babies staying together

    Geeg replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Remember: The hospital will encourage/mandate whichever policy saves the most

  11. chest tube removal

    Geeg replied to corkyrn's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Don't readily take it on as a routine duty. It is just ONE MORE UNCOMPENSATED TASK!!!!! Plus, when you have to wait for the doc or the PA to pull it, you can buy some more time to get your work...

  12. Concious Sedation...on your unit??

    Geeg replied to passing thru's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I resent CS duties being dumped on the ICU RN, who has more than one pt. I think that pt undergoing CS should be a 1:1 during and for an appropriate time interval after. Otherwise, let anesthesia...

  13. Nursing Shortage & cosmetic procedure nursing?

    Geeg replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Does anyone expect plastic surgeons to do a shift in ER due to the busy flu season? I don't think so!!!!!! Why are nurses the only ones expected to be selfless and go above and beyond the call of...

  14. First day in ICU!

    Geeg replied to Noney's topic in General Nursing

    Male pts think of us as sex objects too. When I went into my male pts rm and introduced myself he said: "There are certainly some pretty nurses, here." So I said: " Luckily , the nurses here are...

  15. Nurses, Would you go into nursing if you had to do it all over again?

    Geeg replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    NO, the salary is not commensurate with the astronomical level of responsibility and scrutiny

  16. moms and babies staying together

    Geeg replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only reason that hospitals support "rooming in" is so they can save $$$ by not having any or enough nursery

  17. what are you doing with violence in ed?

    Geeg replied to ellencrn's topic in Emergency

    Have the staff who were injured filed criminal complaints? Hospitals have gotten away with dealing with such violence INTERNALLY and therefore, pretending it does not happen and not being held...

  18. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    Geeg replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    I always like a snappy retort like: "I regret to inform you that you fail to meet even my most basic

  19. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    Geeg replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe you are wasting any time worrying about that doc's loneliness and possible depression. Nurses need to stop feeling responsible for the whole world and lavish some much needed...

    Geeg replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Agency Nurses

    You need some solid experience first. Go work in the busiest most acute unit so you can see alot in 1-2 yrs, that way you won't have to slave for the hospital for too

  23. Survey: Do you think hospitals should require a uniform code for nurses?

    Hospital admin does not want nurses to be easily distinguished by the uniform, then the pts will realize of few RN's are actually on

  25. filter needles

    Geeg replied to rebeccajs's topic in Travel

    Why can't the drugs be supplied in vials instead of ampules? I am sure that it has something to do with $$. If I have the choice between two comparable drugs I always ask the doc to order the one...
