  1. If Nurses were paid $8.50 per hr, would you or would you not

    RN1982 replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    After what happened recently to my friend, an RN who was killed while doing home care, 8 bucks is NOT enough for me to do this job. 8 bucks is an

  2. If Nurses were paid $8.50 per hr, would you or would you not

    RN1982 replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    Quit whining. I have been a nurse for 5 years and only make 27 bucks an hour and its mostly because I have not gotten a raise in the last two years due to the economy. I'm happy to have my 27 bucks an...

  5. A nurse friend of mine passed away: A WARNING TO ALL

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter. She didn't have to criticize my post. I am simply saying be careful. If I knew all the circumstances I would share but since I don't, I can't. It looked to be a possible...

  7. thug got shot and crying

    RN1982 replied to C-DIFF PHIL RN's topic in Emergency

    I agree with Trauma. I work in a Trauma ICU in Detroit and see this all the time. That guy is someone's family member, someone's son, someone's dad but WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE! I'm not a big fan of thugs...

  8. Nurse Fired For Refusing To Get a H1N1 Vaccine or Wear Mask

    RN1982 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think the request was "reasonable". No one should be forced to take the vaccine. I didn't take it and will never take it. As for wearing a mask, well she's just plain stupid for not wearing...

  9. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Agree. ADN programs do not JUST take anybody. They have high GPA requirements just like BSN programs too. They are very selective. Stop stereotyping ADN programs and their graduates, it's so

  10. Reforming nursing education...

    RN1982 replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. My first BSN class is called "The nurse's way of knowing". My friend already took it and said it's such a waste of

  11. Reforming nursing education...

    RN1982 replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Less theory, more clinical time. I think it's important to know the rationales of what we are doing but I don't think I need to learn about five different nursing theorists and the theory about why we...

  12. The goody two-shoes hero act

    RN1982 replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    I had some CNA pull that stunt in front of the patient and the family. She said "If she doesn't take good care of you, I'll kick her butt"...She didn't last very

  13. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I can agree with you there. Some of the ones who struggle will still struggle when helped. I worked with a nurse like that. I had to show him everything, things that he should have known like our ICU...

  14. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sorry but I completely disagree. There are some people who just don't get it, period. And believe it or not, it's not always because of the

  15. Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn

    RN1982 replied to GRnurse57's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Doubt they will help with either. Every hospital is having financial problems. If they are offering a sign on bonus it's for a specialty area that a new grad would not qualify

  16. New Year Diet Questions

    RN1982 replied to hawkfdc's topic in General Nursing

    I have one of those wrist watch things that has a heart monitor and counts calories, on a busy night I can burn 2000, on a slow night

  18. Pt Bites Nurse

    RN1982 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    She should have told the doc she was going to make a call to a lawyer if they didn't do the necessary bloodwork to make sure she and the patient were HIV and Hepatitis

  19. I am burning out..

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm burning out. Me, of all people. I thought I was strong enough to withstand it but having to deal with managers who have no clue and co-workers who whine and moan about the slightest thing have...

  20. Sign announcing you're an RN on your car?

    RN1982 replied to Perpetual Student's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, no. I would never put anything on my car indicating that I'm a

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for all the wonderful advice. I'm feeling a bit better today and I think it's due to all of the exercise I've been doing as its helping me get out a lot of aggression I have. I will be on my...

  22. I am burning out..

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I'm already in the process of getting a transfer. If that falls through I will look elsewhere. Thankfully, I didn't get a sign on bonus and I avoid all places that offer one because to me it says...

    RN1982 replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    six 12 hour shifts in a row. I was a zombie by the end of that

  24. Ugh...mini-rant

    RN1982 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I want to get one more mini-rant in before I go to work: I don't want to go. Don't make me. I need some holy water to throw on these people (co-workers) or give me a mild anti-anxiety med to make it...

  25. Overheard coworkers complaining about me....feeling bad

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

    Wow, thats one heck of a patient to nurse ratio...8 patients to one RN on nights and 4 to a day shift nurse. That's not fair. Sorry you had a bad night but you need to remember that nursing is a 24...
