  1. Disappointing Career

    redshiloh replied to ERKev's topic in General Nursing

    You could pursue it, but I think it will be difficult to prove....you need something in writing by that first

  2. Surprised Myself! (Standing up to Doctors)

    redshiloh replied to RN-PA's topic in General Nursing

    From one people pleaser to another congrats...I hope I have courage like that next

  3. Just had an emotional breakdown at work.

    redshiloh replied to unikuelady's topic in General Nursing

    As a matter of fact, it happened to me Wednesday. I cried pretty much the whole shift; I feel a fool, but I have to keep working. I also feel exhausted.... But Unike, hold your head high, you are...

  4. Anyone sick of working weekends????

    redshiloh replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    Most facilities are short staffed which means weekend work. My suggestion is to increase your education level and get a clinic position. That was my real goal when I got my BSN was to get a M-F job...

  5. Authoritarian HN

    redshiloh replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    You know it's funny, cause I was thinking about this subject on the way in this AM. When I was NM, I was a pushover for the most part and subsequently we had problems. Now the NM is authoritarian,...

  6. Dealing with doctors.....

    redshiloh replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I gotta ask....I am not an OB nurse, but when you told the lady 'don't push till the doctor gets here' what was her reaction? I remember my labor and I think I would have expressed some colorful...

  7. Dealing with doctors.....

    redshiloh replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

    He may be a jerk, but you and he have to work together. I agree that you should pull him aside and talk about it; politely and professionally. That way you can both get past

  8. Nurses who specialize in footcare

    redshiloh replied to adrienurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Specialize in nurses' feet! God knows we need all the help we can get in that

  9. How you work nights with kids?

    redshiloh replied to TLC RN's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't mandated to work nights, sometimes it works better though; less rush, fewer MDs phones ect. As long as it doesn't impose on your mom and dad and the kids are ok, why

  10. I'm a little PO'd

    redshiloh replied to Todd SPN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, been there. I graduated in 1994 as an LVN and was offered $7.33 an hour as a new grad at Methodist hospital. I remember my jaw dropping and telling the lady that I didn't go through the all...

  15. patient leaving with iv lock in place

    redshiloh replied to ellencrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Our policy is to remove HLs before discharge. I PRESUME you can't touch the patient unless he allows it, otherwise it's battery,right? Document EVERTHING to

  16. spooky spooky spooky

    redshiloh replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm not observant enough to see ghosts. The nearest I came to was walking into a room and seeing this rocking chair slowly rocking back and forth. I kind of freaked. The room was dark, so I...

  17. Chronic Tardiness

    redshiloh replied to Tweety's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with glassam! However, why is the staff putting up with it? Why are they not writing these people up. Peer-pressure is a powerful

  18. which shift is busier?

    redshiloh replied to momrn50's topic in General Nursing

    Very old argument...each shift thinks they are the busiest. Day shift is probably pretty busy, but nights not having time? Are they short staffing them? Cause I can't really see any other reason...

  19. Altered and removed charting

    redshiloh replied to Xtreme1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Oh yeah, it happens. I remember an RN in LTC 'prerecording' all her VS...I always wondered what they would do if someone died and VS on them. And yes, the DON and owner of the facility

  20. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    redshiloh replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, it IS nice to know we are not alone. I thought WE were just the only ones with CNAs that want to call the shots. Unfortunately here the way it runs is; 'give me what I want or I go to the...

  21. Reporting unethical behavoir

    redshiloh replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    Do your career a favor and go up the chain of command. Your boss will not be happy to find out about this unethical person from the state

  22. How long does report take?

    redshiloh replied to RNnites's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the nurses need to be instructed on how to be more succinct. Some nurses will rattle on about nonrelevant info, so you have to teach them how to

  23. Being Charge

    redshiloh replied to longforseaair's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to take that kind of garbage! Can you write up the screamer for insubordination? I remember what a psy MD told me as a supervisor"what is fair to one person won't be fair to another"...

  24. Nursing as a customer service profession?

    redshiloh replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I don't think the problem is that nurses resent customer service, it's just that staffing is so bad usually you don't have time for niceties. Most people get into nursing because they like...
