  1. backstabbed at work

    barefootlady replied to NuHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    NuHappyRN, I am sorry you find yourself the victim of this type of smear campaign. I have seen this happen many times, have been the victim once or twice myself, so I can only tell you to leave this...

  2. Anyone from the Parkersburg Area?

    barefootlady replied to CatholicNurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    Catholic Nurse, Why did you decide to chose Camden-Clark over St. Joe's? I know little about either one but I am interested because I have family in that area and they always go to Marietta Memorial...

    barefootlady replied to dreamon's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi elkpark, How can it no longer count if they live with grandparents? Are you saying they have to have worked in that year in NC, paid some sort of taxes, gotten a drivers license, or registered to...

  4. Abduction !!

    barefootlady replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Security is so tight here on OB floor fathers have to have special pass visible at all times. Grandparents too. Other visitors must leave the floor when it is time for babies to come out of nursery...

  5. Can a female have a reaction to a depo shot?

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for input. This lady had respiratory and cardiac reaction plus heavy bleeding. It was denied it was the depo but she literally had nothing else in her system and this was only her 2nd shot....

  6. Monthy doc visits for job excuses

    barefootlady replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    OT is the problem alright. Here, if excuse is demanded to be updated monthly, and many do demand this, several docs just have form excuses, office staff write in reason for limited work and then...

  7. Most "Clueless" Thing YOUR Manager has Done

    barefootlady replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    At a facility where I worked new IV tubing was going to be used, this was when Y tubing for blood and special tubing for hyperal was just starting to be used. (Yes, it was ages ago) the NM had every...

  8. What's with the BON there?

    barefootlady posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello Nurses, Can anyone tell me why calls to the BON are often so difficult to obtain an answer that people just give up? What with the guy with the "foreign" accent. He never understand anything...

    barefootlady replied to Nurse-C's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked a several facilities that do required maintance and male employees to respond to several code situations. Mostly they looked for missing patient, secured doors, or helped move heavy...

  10. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    barefootlady replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So I guess from this statement, ADN nurses will just go to school, not take boards, and just go to work as nurses????? Right. LOL! This is just a new spin on an old rumor. Over 25 years ago LPN's...

  11. shocked by ER nurse!

    barefootlady replied to ebear's topic in General Nursing

    Most facilities either call or send some sort of form to the patient for rating the care they received during a recent visit, please answer questions with complete honesty. This situation was so wrong...

    barefootlady replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the reality of nursing. You are only as good as the job. Prayers to you. I do not want to say

  13. Should I speak up, or keep my mouth shut??

    barefootlady replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    Keep a low profile. Keep your records as suggested by other posters. Be aware, you were thrown to the wolves. This has to be an ongoing issue, one that long time staff is tired of fighting and are...

  14. Inhumane Supervisors/Managers-LONG

    barefootlady replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    This whole episode was unkind, unprofessional, and in poor taste in the treatment of you. Yes, I would address the issue of "boy toy" being present, with sneakers on, and being spoken to about...

  15. Lower cost of living in NC? Whaddya mean? :>)

    barefootlady replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Daughter and SIL pressure me to move to NC but I am not interested. At least in the area they live(Greensboro). COL is too high, rent is unreal for what is offered, utilities are high, food costs...

  16. Graduation Plans anyone?

    barefootlady posted a topic in General Nursing

    Before many of the posters here realize it, the graduation from nursing school will be here and so will the plans for a job. So what are many of the new grads planning. Any really good offers out...

  17. Anybody from Univ. of Charleston out there?

    barefootlady replied to champ01's topic in General Nursing

    Hi champ01, \ It has been a long time since I talked with any student from U of C, but ...very pricey. Teachers used to top of line, not so much anymore. Pass rate is not as good as used to be....

  18. Should I just quit?

    barefootlady replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    A little anxiety will probably keep you on your toes for the next few months. We all go through that stage, then one day, we do realize we know what we are doing and we feel a little more at ease....

  19. When the boss makes an error

    barefootlady replied to proud2b1's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago I had a HN rip me apart in front of several other staff members for missing an order. The order was not life changing or really too important, but she wanted to make an example of me....

  20. Patients who don't use their call light....

    barefootlady replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unless I am passing meds, I always plan on giving my patients a few minutes for those extra requests they seem to always have when I enter the room. Sick people are afraid to be too much of a bother...

  21. Overtime and Lunches?

    barefootlady replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    It blows my mind that a on duty nurse gets a break to sleep. Never would happen here, unless she took her lunch break and she better be back in 30

  22. Overtime and Lunches?

    barefootlady replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    Many facilities here say you will not be paid for "no lunch" unless the HN or supervisor agrees the unit is too busy for the break. OT is much the same

  25. Do nurses who pick-up extra shifts get favoritism?

    barefootlady replied to SmartSNFguy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Worked with a nurse who worked 1 sometimes 2 OT shifts a week. No one said a thing about her OT, then facility had a slump, long term regular staff were getting hours cut but she was still getting 1...
