  4. Finding myself negative these days. Can my expectations be too high?

    RN1982 replied to dorimar's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think we all ask questions. I wasn't saying that I am the perfect ICU nurse, I ask questions too. If there's something I'm not sure about, I seek assistance also. I just find it frustrating when I'm...

  5. I need advice on management's reaction to resignation/notice

    RN1982 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing that ticks me off is if they are walking people out like that are they paying out people's CTO/PTO? Anyhow, I am glad you are at your new job. People like your former manager sound...

    RN1982 replied to ac123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  8. Doctors are Bullies

    RN1982 replied to madwife2002's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    RN1982 replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I hope your friend makes it through whatever he or she is going through. I think most people use suicide attempts as a way to call attention to their problems, like a cry for help. The best thing for...

  11. My Room Mate tried to commit suicide tonight.

    RN1982 replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. It's the reason I do not help at accident sites. The minute you identify yourself as a nurse or other medical professional you put yourself at risk of being sued should...

  12. Ahhhhhhhhhh Cancelled AGAIN!!!!

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is so irritating. This is the only shift I picked up this week for overtime and I am cancelled. I was cancelled last week. To top it off, there isn't any other overtime available. Agency per diem...

  17. My Room Mate tried to commit suicide tonight.

    RN1982 replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously, everyone has a different opinion. If the person was lying there without a pulse, I would perform CPR, otherwise, I'm not touching. THe OP's friend was A/o x 3 not unresponsive. Too many...

  18. How far can a patient go?

    RN1982 replied to junebride's topic in General Nursing

  21. Worst Nightmare as a Nurse Came True

    RN1982 replied to idrinkpop's topic in General Nursing
