    I am now too expensive and too experience to get a new job!

    xoemmylouox replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    We can't win. This is just another excuse for employers. We have many openings in our department. My managers excuse on why we haven't hired anyone.. No one is applying. GIVE ME A BREAK. There is NO...

    When is it too late to intiate CPR?

    xoemmylouox replied to myschuler's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Always check your facilities policy. Everywhere I have been (LTC, Assisted Living, or Home Care) if a resident is a full code you start CPR until the ambulance arrives for

    Rate of sexual harassment occurrences at a hospital?

    xoemmylouox replied to lis4b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This seems more likely. I have never had sexual advances from coworkers that I did not put a stop to with a simple no thanks. I have never had my butt slapped or been

    New Construction Nightmare

    xoemmylouox replied to Tristar's topic in General Nursing

    It is the same story all the time. They come up with this big plan of construction. Do they ask those who will actually be working there.. Nope. Is there problems then that could have been avoided.....

    Physician Negligence

    xoemmylouox replied to Djadia's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The problem this person is going to run into is that they did not witness anything. This is all 2nd or 3rd word of mouth.. Unless the nurse who witnessed this will report it or will back you up if you...

    End of life "gibberish" - are we missing something?

    xoemmylouox replied to bryce's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what to say about the numbers. So often I see patients talking to loved ones who have passed on prior. I would like to believe that when it is your time loved ones who have passed before...

    The flu shot making people sick

    xoemmylouox replied to psu_213's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It amazes me how many educated people refuse vaccines.. Seriously??? I am all about preventing disease. If you can create a safe vaccine against deadly disease why not get it? There are those who...

    Weird, but missing my old state's nurses union!

    I don't get when nurses say they hate unions. Yes they are not perfect, but without them who is there to protect us? I WISH I was with a

    Peds Practices and Sick Season

    xoemmylouox replied to netglow's topic in Pediatric

    Well I haven't seen this occur. When I worked peds we already had a person that was "on call" . Typically this was a person who worked evenings and weekends already. They worked year round and usually...

    Happiness vs more money

    xoemmylouox replied to adamsmom2's topic in General Nursing

    Well if you aren't happy at work it will reflect at home. You do not know what the future holds for your child. I'm sorry, but I had to take on student debt for school.. You know what. I appreciated...

    Shoot when I did 12s at night I wanted all 3 in a row. Then I had up tp 5 days away.. It was great for me. Sure those 3 days sucked, but it's called work for a reason. That of course does not mean...

    Pulled from floor by "Men in Black"

    xoemmylouox replied to mikala3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    NEVER EVER talk to anyone like that without a lawyer present. You also NEVER say anything to anyone if you do not know who they are. Just an FYI for the future. CYA at all

    As a nurse will I be exposed to dead patients a lot?

    Death is very tough for me as well. In some cases it really is for the best. In others it isn't fair and it sucks. That is the part that is hard for

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    xoemmylouox replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Many employers require this now. It is to protect your patients just as much as yourself. I get mine every year. So does everyone else in my family. Kind of a no brainer to me. If you don't want to...

    Why are you looking for a new job?

    xoemmylouox replied to mombabyRN96's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would focus on why you want to work at THAT facility. I think that is more important then to generalize. Say why you want to work at that specific facility. Do some research. Have they made any big...

    Over 60, seasoned nurse, fired for not being a "Robot RN."

    xoemmylouox replied to Wise Woman RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is so unfair anymore. We have seen this time and time again. They push out everyone who has any experience and hire those with none. Yes we all need to learn, but you can't have newbies training...
