  2. No Lunch Break

    JB2007 replied to barkandwag's topic in General Nursing

    I never get a full 30 min break. However I do make it a point to sit down and eat a sandwich and some fruit during my shift. If I skip eating altogether I could not concentrate. I keep a protein bar...

    JB2007 replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    JB2007 replied to WarmBlanket's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nicely undermining you.

    JB2007 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I just smile a big (some say evil) smile and say something very nice in a sugary sweat voice. This really freaks these nasty little people out. They are not sure if you are saying what you really mean...

    JB2007 replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    I would be very tempted to tell the tech "today is your unlucky day because I am going to waste your skills. Now go get the tele unit, please." Some people just have to be told how it is and if they...

    I could not agree with you

  15. Why do many nurses look down on LTC?

    JB2007 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They look down on LTC nurses because they have very little understanding of exactly what all a LTC nurse does. You should have heard the commits that my co-workers and supervisors make when I quit...

  16. I work with some immature nurses.

    JB2007 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    They need more work to do. When you are out of you mind busy at work you do not have time to goof around on the computer or care who tells on you for whatever you are doing wrong. In fact, when you...

    JB2007 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

  21. Medication error

    JB2007 replied to vetvet13's topic in General Nursing

    See if some of the 8 am meds can be changed to 6 am or 8 pm if those med passes are lighter. If you are doing eye gtts, nose sprays, NEB tx on the 8 am med pass see if those can be changed to 6 am. Go...

  22. Stress Relief

    JB2007 replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    1. A hot bath and a glass of wine helps most any problem melt away. If one glass of wine does not do the trick the second one will make me forget what I was stressing about to begin with. 2. Leave...

  23. How did you know LTC was right for you?

    JB2007 replied to PAERRN20's topic in Geriatric, LTC
