    barefootlady replied to In_Chantress's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with witness to all orders, agree that witness should sign orders, incident reports too. But...when are the nurses going to seek out the HN and inform the HN of the problem? After 3 or more...

  5. Peer Evaluations

    barefootlady replied to GeminiTwinRN's topic in General Nursing

    Peer evals should be done by the staff you work with on a regular basis. Too many facilities allow this type of eval to become a popularity eval instead of a genuine assessment and improvement

  7. Is there an 'us' and 'them' culture in nursing

    barefootlady replied to nyapa's topic in General Nursing

    Above all the other Us vs Them situations, the one that rubs me raw the most is the Nurse vs Admin/Mgt situation. Many times my heads reels from the pressure of being a good nurse, a patient...

  8. Manufactured jobs

    barefootlady replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Been there, seen this, and what a nightmare. Worked with the DIL of the CEO. She was supposed to be some sort of an educator. Most of the time she did not even show up for work, when she did she...

  9. Next time I will tell her to shut up

    barefootlady replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    However gently this DON discusses this situation with you, she will look at this as a discipline incident and it will go into your file. I would copy the P&P of your facility to refer to during...

  11. Did Hillary really say nurses are glorified sitters ?..... No fact to support

    barefootlady replied to time4meRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Somehow I doubt the Senator made this remark. Her husbands mother was a nurse. There maybe some sort of statement out there about better utilization of health care and the professional who work in...

  12. What do Indians Want?

    barefootlady replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    This summer I met 2 Indian boys, both friends of my grandsons, who live in Wisconsin. One boy was respectful, interesting, motivated by life and his culture, and truly someone I was glad to meet....

  13. Ever dealt with a hospital merger?

    barefootlady replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    Lived through this twice. One was good one was bad. It takes forever, some changes are great but many are not necessary..just the way the other place has always done it. Raises are not generally...

  16. staff appreciation

    barefootlady replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    Please remember staff that may be on restrictive diets. Treat bags at the Dollar Tree are 20/1.00. Walmart has lotions 2/1.00 or less, candles 3/1.00, design a bookmark that can be printed on the...

  17. Verbal abuse from a Nursing Aide

    barefootlady replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    An argument here in front of a patient gets the nurse and the CNA written up. Patients are sick and do not need or want to be part of staff drama. Next time this happens, act professionally, even...

  18. "they're not my patient" syndrome

    barefootlady replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    Been to about a hundred staff meetings on this subject. It needs to be addressed as a patient care/needs issue and not about which nurse is or is not doing her job. Now, if a certain nurse is not...

  19. Men in nursing: Do we have different emotional responses?

    barefootlady replied to psychmalenurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hello, Female here. I have not worked with that many gay male nurses here. The gay guys here are professionals, do a great job, and keep their personal business personal. If they discuss plans,...

  22. What's with the letters??

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Hello and Good Morning, Are you an RN? It seems these letters are from hospital facilities specifically wanting RN's. Yes, I do know my name could have been obtained from somewhere else. It just...

  23. What's with the letters??

    barefootlady posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have received more than 3 letters from ARH in the past 2 weeks stating the need for nurses and how great the bennies are if a nurse works for them. I can only guess the board sold my name to them....

  25. CNA Training in Charlotte, NC

    barefootlady replied to supermodelnurse2b's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Have you attempted to connect with any of the nursing homes in the Charlotte area? I think they may train some CNA's if there is a need. Good
