  1. Can you believe this???

    barefootlady replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, sorry to say this happened to me once. I was not able to go to work because a power line was across the road and the deputy sheriff was turning everyone back. She was calling me to cover for...

  2. Is it true?

    barefootlady replied to FutureRNMichael's topic in General Nursing

    :ee Sure we have issues, it's called growing up and on some of us it leaves scars. That does not mean we are emotional cripples or are in need of approval from our patients emotionally. I wonder...

  3. Contract Not Honored

    barefootlady replied to wayover20's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that you and the other nurses were cheated out of your bonus. I agree with Kat that the only way to get it is to file a class action suit. I would not stay around for this place, you...

  7. Nurses turn to unions at a key moment in healthcare history

    barefootlady replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yep, a nation wide union is brewing for nurses who are tired of being patted on the head and told "we can't afford to give you a raise of more than 3%, and no COL is out of the question". Yes, our...

  9. resigning

    barefootlady replied to nurse62's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  11. HIPAA/HIPPA infraction or not ?!

    barefootlady replied to dachweiler's topic in General Nursing

    No violation that I can see. Info was given by others on a voluntary basis. You were only doing her a favor by enlarging info to accomandate her poor eye sight. FIGHT the write up. Also, take a...

  12. vegetative state

    barefootlady replied to kat57's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that she is not living, just existing, but I could not pull that tube and watch her slowly die. Since Gov. Bush has stepped in, maybe the best way to resolve this issue, is what will be done...

  17. 14 Nurses Fired and 9 disciplined in Kentucky

    barefootlady replied to nurseattorney's topic in General Nursing

    barefootlady replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

  19. Grumpy Secretary--what would you do?

    barefootlady replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I disagree, unit clerks are not a dime a dozen . That remark is rude and unnecessary. I do agree that sometimes when behavior gets out of hand write up is necessary. Otherwise, be kind and...

    barefootlady replied to joyflnoyz's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard that Healthsouth is good for therapists, bad for nursing. No personal experience, but know nurses who did not stay long. Pay not too good, duties where added as an afterthought, and...

    barefootlady replied to ANnot4me's topic in General Nursing

    We've all been there and done it. We know we should not do it, but sometimes our frustrations slip out. Try to take a short vacation, a mental health day, or on the next day off do something only...
