    MrsCaseyRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    MrsCaseyRN replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Nursing

  5. Disturbance During Lunch/Break

    MrsCaseyRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    The general public does not feel we are entitled to a break. If they need something, well, then we should be there, reguardless. However, most other professions have no problem with closing for lunch,...

  6. working rotating shifts while pregnant?

    MrsCaseyRN replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    My experience with this isn't quite as bad as rotating every few weeks. I worked 7a-7p for my first four months of pregnancy, then I switchd to overnights. I was not able to adjust. That could have...

  11. Preparing to present grievances to heads of hospital

    MrsCaseyRN replied to frodo6657's topic in General Nursing

  13. Does anyone else have a family member like this? (LONG)

    MrsCaseyRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gees, me too. My mom has "anxiety problems" as she puts it. Rather, she says she had problems and she's fine now. There is no doubt in my mind she is bipolar, she has all the s/s and refuses to seek...

  17. Why do people abuse nurses?

    MrsCaseyRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

  19. What did you think Nursing was About?

    MrsCaseyRN replied to Justhere's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 2 years, and I would say before becoming a nurse I lived in a world where I thought if I tried hard enough I could be next to perfect! I though if I worked hard enough, I'd be...
