  1. Think of your favorite coworker.

    RN1982 replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    Amen to that. We as nurses are not above emptying a bedpan. It's sad that there are those who do think they are above it. Knowledge is great. It's wonderful but it doesn't make you so great that your...

  2. News Article about "Nursing Shortage!"

    RN1982 replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    Thats how I felt when I left stepdown for ICU. When I worked stepdown, I was expected to take charge and have 4 patients. I felt like I has having a bronchospasm, then when I switched to SICU, I could...

  3. Do night shift nurses try there best

    RN1982 replied to melz34's topic in General Nursing

    I've come in plenty of times when day shift has left my patients in dirty gowns, no oral care as evidenced by mucous caked to the patients' teeth and tongue, soiled linens. Lets not for get the rooms....

  4. Pay @ Royal Oak Beaumont

    RN1982 replied to dimpsogre's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Every place is flexible. HFH has self-scheduling. The thing I like better about HFH, is if I pick up overtime, I can self-cancel 24 hours before the shift. At Beaumont, you have to work, there's no...

  5. ANY RN, LPN, NP, PA, CRNA, MSN, CNS, PhD, DNSc, etc......PLEASE read

    RN1982 replied to ccuRNinTN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I don't like the idea of med techs. Its just another way for administration to hire someone for less pay so that they don't need to hire more nurses. It really grinds my stone. I think it's sad...

    RN1982 replied to dabowhunter's topic in General Nursing

  8. Unfair treatment by co-workers/boss

    RN1982 replied to MultipNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it was me, I would have cussed her out. Hey, I'm not at work and as far as I'm concerned I don't need to be professional after I have just pushed a baby out of my lady parts. I'm not sure. I...

  9. Is it Easier to Get a Job As an ADN or a BSN?

    RN1982 replied to jagsterr's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't noticed any

  10. Unfair treatment by co-workers/boss

    RN1982 replied to MultipNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Let me tell you something. I WOULD be ticked off if my manager walked in while I was in stir-ups. Furthermore, I would be livid if she walked in a few hours after I had given birth. I would go above...

  11. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We have travelers on my unit who have had contracts there for a couple of years and they precept. No big deal though because they know what they are

  12. Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    RN1982 replied to rnffemtguy's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone chill out before the thread gets closed. My two cents: If nurses or doctors want to stop at emergency scenes then fine do so. But when the trained professionals who deal with that on a day...

  13. Night Shift Neglect.

    RN1982 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I was being a bit touchy. Just started taking the pill and I'm having crazy mood swings. Anyhow, the RN is just as responsible as the CNA. My mom's friend was staying at a rehab facility that...

  14. Night Shift Neglect.

    RN1982 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the correct title for this thread is "Night shift neglect". How about patient neglected by RN and CNA? I'm sorry you had to deal with that but it happens on every shift, not just nights....

  15. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Good lord, since when has this discussion about whether or not the nurse is pretty. We're not talking about looks, we are talking about competence. If a new nurse truly felt that she was being picked...

  17. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's also the nurse's job to bring it to the doc's attention that the INR is elevated. It's also the nurse's job to know what the patient's INR is before giving

  18. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I believe the preceptor didn't see the INR climbing because Sal was OFF orientation Edit: Ok, she wasn't off orientation but in Ruby's post, it was made clear to Sal that she needs to check the INR...

  19. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is not about nurses eating their young. It's about new nurses whose confidence overshadows their skill and practice and who do not take the constructive criticism they are given to modify their...

  20. Precepting...

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    How long should someone work in a particular area before becoming a preceptor? What do you find most difficult about precepting? Do you feel your management backs you up as a preceptor? What do you...

  23. Want your opinion?

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    That's not what this thread is about. I have no problem when someone studies on downtime but at least make sure your co-workers are caught up with their stuff too. And don't just sit there studying...
