  4. Wearing all white

    RN1982 replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm not wearing all white. I agree with Ruby that wearing white does not make one more professional nor a better nurse. I like my blue scrubs and I like that I can wear print scrubs per hospital...

  6. I am sad and disapointed

    RN1982 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    How long have you been a nurse? If you are rather new, the first year is always the hardest. It takes time to find your niche. Do you really want to work in L/D? How about pediatrics?

  7. Inconsiderate co workers

    RN1982 replied to nrsang97's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked telemetry/stepdown, I had to give report to one of the day shift nurses and she was complaining about why she had four patients. The ratio on the floor was 3-4 patients to 1 nurse. The...

  12. Is Favoritism in workplace a form of Discrimmination?

    RN1982 replied to vamapega's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sweetheart, at the rate things are going, you might not ever be promoted. I would consider looking for alternative employment. I don't know what else to tell you to do besides that. I certainly...

  13. Just Because You're a Nurse

    RN1982 replied to Jaybird310's topic in General Nursing

    When I am home, I don't want to think about work or think about anything nursing related so I usually get very irritated when family calls me to ask me medical advice. I tell them the same thing I...

    RN1982 replied to vamapega's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sure you can stay for another year but how are you giong to feel when he promotes someone else over you even though you are making all these improvements? And I would use my manager as a reference...

  18. Reporting other nurses

    RN1982 replied to wanderlust99's topic in General Nursing

    Hellerd, I agree with you that SOME things need to be reported but not the things the OP was discussing. Yeah, I'd report a nurse if they didn't supplement a potassium level of 2.3 but I wouldn't run...

  20. Night Shift = Second Class?

    RN1982 replied to NewNightShifter's topic in General Nursing

    My ANAM is awesome too. They even have staff meetings at night for the night shift RNs. None of this crap about staying till 8:30am for a staff meeting which occured a lot at my last job. Night shift...

  21. Reporting other nurses

    RN1982 replied to wanderlust99's topic in General Nursing

    I have a feeling she might just be jealous because you are doing something she probably wants to do and you are making more money than her. It's just a thought. I wonder if the manager went to see the...

  22. Reporting other nurses

    RN1982 replied to wanderlust99's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. Why can't we just talk things over with each other rather than running to the manager's office all the time. I used to work with a girl like that. She'd run to the manager and cry all...

    RN1982 replied to NewNightShifter's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked at another facility where night shift was treated poorly. We were short staffed and it was busy as it had been on days. Management bought pizza for the day staff for lunch and a night...

    RN1982 replied to trefer84's topic in General Nursing
