    Which shift do you prefer, 7pm-7am or 7am-7pm and why?

    xoemmylouox replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in General Nursing

    Well I prefer days if I have to do five 8hr shifts, but nights if it is just three 12s. I could make either work. I am def. more of a day person, but the nights were quieter for the most part. That...

    Worst night in history

    xoemmylouox replied to RoseRyan's topic in General Nursing

    This is ridiculous. Not only was he disruptive he was verbally abusive. There is some consideration that can be taken when someone has a mental illness, but that does not give them an excuse for all...

    Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    xoemmylouox replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have been forced to stay during a blizzard and also during a series of storms that led to many tornados. Was it fun? No. I wouldn't have left. I received nothing special for this, and didn't expect...

    Double Standards

    xoemmylouox replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    Shoot I know plenty of male/female doctors who ask for a chaperone. I don't know of ANY male/females nurses who do. There isn't enough of us to go around. There will always be a patient who complains...

    xoemmylouox replied to Trixyp's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My Breaking Point!

    xoemmylouox replied to tn nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well I have to say it may take a long time for their attitudes about you to change. Continue to offer assistance when possible. CYA and write them up when needed. You need to be

    xoemmylouox replied to lavalamprn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know if I would self report if you don't know what you are reporting for. I would find a lawyer first and see what you are legally forced to do. I wouldn't do anything until then. That is my

    who is at fault?

    xoemmylouox replied to pink_shoes99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I assume she is inpatient? If so she can ask for another provider. If she is outpatient she can easily leave that provider. She should not tolerate this a minute
