  1. Opinion Please...problem at work

    barefootlady replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    No write up form?? Write what happened on a nurses note, signed, dated, and keep a copy for your records, and slip it into an envelope under the NM door. If nothing happens and this assistant...

  2. Nothing I can do but vent.

    barefootlady replied to GilaRRT's topic in General Nursing

  3. I'm just, disgusted........whatever.

    barefootlady replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Hey erik, Buddy, you need to calm down and regroup a little. Personally, I love med/surg nursing, o.k., I know that is nuts, but I do. I can see why you feel angry/duped, distressed and discouraged....

  4. How do you manage to get to work in snow storms ?

    barefootlady replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I make sure my vehicle is in good condition. I have a full tank of gas. I pack an extra supply of water, undies, socks, and have a few extra dollars in case of whatever. I drive slow. I

  5. I'm just, disgusted........whatever.

    barefootlady replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    OK, now think damage control. How about a thank you note to the interviewer for their time, mention you are sincerely interested in the position. Discuss with the wife other options. If you see...

  7. ADN vs BSN pay for RN

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

    I have many hours towards my BSN, but life and health issues have kept me from completing it. One thing for sure, it is not always the degree that matters, it is the character of the nurse. I admire...

  8. The end of C-diff testing??

    barefootlady replied to medpsychRN's topic in General Nursing

    Major problems with c-diff here, testing does finally get ordered, but by that time the patient has suffered much, so has other patients in the room, and staff. So short sighted. A couple of times...

  11. Someone told me something that upset me today.

    barefootlady replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I never punch in someone else nor ask them to do this for me. It is illegal, unethical, and just plain wrong. If I am late, then I take the heat. Here, with snow, ice, and narrow roads many times...

  13. Was anyone poor before becoming a nurse?

    barefootlady replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    I am not ashamed to say I am still poor compared to many, but I pay my bills, have food, buy medicine, and a roof over my head. I have a disabled spouse on a very fixed income, so it is necessary I...

  19. "You're not responsible"!!!!!

    barefootlady replied to achot chavi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Agree this is a very poorly thought out solution to family's requests. I think the DON would have to be present when this patient whenever she eats. Look for a new

  20. Resident causing problems

    barefootlady replied to debroh1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  25. Do You Like, Love or Dislike Your current job?

    barefootlady replied to lpnsider's topic in General Nursing
