  1. Columbus New Grad - need help finding job :(

    barefootlady replied to emetcal1's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have 2 cousins who are in that area and they tell me it is not a good work situation there right now. They are having hours cut d/t low census. Even the LTC facilities are having a lower

  2. I am very worried

    barefootlady replied to Ms.Migraine's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed the CNA's who complain about the work load are always the ones who call in a lot, give shoddy care, and have a sensativity chip missing. We all have those shifts that are a nightmare,...

  3. co-worker issue

    barefootlady replied to mountainnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Clearly there needs to be a meeting with HN, this nurse and yourself. You should write her up for unprofessional conduct for her conduct during this code situation. I am surprised the CN did not...

  4. Hello Neighbors, who is working this Christmas?

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in Ohio Nursing

    With all of the rumors of how health care is being effected by the economy, I am just happy to have a job. So, no I do not mind working. I can celebrate any day before of after the 25th. Everyone...

  5. gotta love LTC nursing...

    barefootlady replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    You did a good job, doc needs to get on insulin and feedings, new orders needed. DON needs to make a inquiry regarding supplies. Especially glucose. Good

  6. Just got off the witness stand

    barefootlady replied to suger56's topic in General Nursing

    This just happened the other night. Patient confused and refusing meds. Seems she has been doing this for a couple of days. No one charted but me on her behavior. I wrote a book, even included the...

  7. Obnoxious co-workers...

    barefootlady replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Save us all from the co-worker drama of marriage problems. We all have times in our personal relationships that are terrible. We all have a special person or two at work we bond with and talk to...

  8. Who works Christmas??

    barefootlady posted a topic in General Nursing

    Me of course. Who

  9. Who works Christmas??

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Our staff dinner is this Sunday night. I am sort of stumped on what to take. We are all cooks, so there will be lots of food. I work Saturday night, so there will be no real time for cooking. It...

  10. 30 people laid off of my hospital (Non-nursing staff)

    barefootlady replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Someone at work today was discussing our nation's economic plight and the fact that several people we work with are having a difficult time d/t spouses being out of work. We have started a canned...

  11. I'm just so sick of all the DRAMA (long)

    barefootlady replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    This person is dangerous. No telling the rumors she starts in the community about staff and other occurances at the facility. Of course, it does not have to be the whole truth, just a grain or so...

  12. Who works Christmas??

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Well, ed, have a great day off. I do not really mind working, with all the kids grown and some of them will not be here until after the 25th, I guess I can let the nurses with little ones off. It...

  13. I need ADVICE!

    barefootlady replied to LatinDolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Get the job, go for it. Many facilities will help you go to school. Good

  14. Am I Wrong To Think This?

    barefootlady replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    When this was started at my facility, we complained to the DON, we told her night people should be inserviced at times for us. It took awhile, but now the day shift has to monitor the floor for us,...

  15. Bathroom Inservicing

    barefootlady replied to barbyann's topic in General Nursing

    May facilities here have areas beside the time clock, in the break room for info they feel the staff needs. But there is always info in the bathroom. Like the NM said, not everyone spends time in...

  16. The Holiday

    barefootlady replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Home today but would rather be working. Will work Christmas. No big deal. No one here but me and

  17. Your patient fell? You need to be disciplined!

    barefootlady replied to casperx875x's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone heard of the new "nurse monitor" concept? Yes, someone is going to stay in the room with the very confused, agitated, often combatative patient. They will not attempt to intervene with...

  18. I need to vent

    barefootlady replied to evilolive07's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I cannot give the advice to quit as others have written, but I would refuse to continue to cover both floors. I would tell them my license is mine to protect, and since this was a short term thing,...

  19. Writing The Next Chapter Of My Nursing Career

    barefootlady replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered a travel assignment out west? In the Az, NM, west Tx area of the country? It may answer some of your questions without causing you permnant relocation problems. I do not...

  20. Vent...maybe a cry for help.

    barefootlady replied to CNAfromNC's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Clearly you are a caring CNA. Some battles are too big to fight alone. Get in touch with the state oversight agency and report these problems. No name needs to be given. Also, report to the DON...

  21. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    barefootlady replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot believe this post is for real. I am a large chested, petite woman and could not go without a bra since I was 12. Sure some are more comfortable than others, that is why you never wear a new...

  22. NC Nurse Salary

    barefootlady replied to ssanders80's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think sign on bonus can be a trap at some facilities. It may suck that they make such a difference between the two degrees but it may be a good thing in the end. Just a thought from a older nurse...

  23. crazy bereavement rules

    barefootlady replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    When my mother died I was not given any hassle but when my uncle died I was put through a mess. He and I were raised as brother and sister, so when the obit was first published it was listed that way...

  24. Kicked out of SICU

    barefootlady replied to tarty/sweet's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you found a good solution for now. Learn all you can on this unit and then decide if the SICU is still what you want. Sometimes we are clinging to an idea but we really need to recognize...

  25. asked to resign

    barefootlady replied to pedspnp's topic in General Nursing

    Dust yourself off and start looking. There seems to be the three issues mentioned above and the fact that these docs are just a little afraid you will outshine them. Sorry this happened, but if the...
