    Well if there is not a whole lot to do on your job then you can do all your homework there. That would be perfect. Believe me, if you quit and do cna, you will want to slap yourself for talking about...

    cursenurse replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honestly, I'm just happy if they know what medicines they take. Most act like I'm stupid- like they should really know the medicines they take everyday! Also pt's will tell you they almost died when...

    cursenurse replied to WSUnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    cursenurse replied to DachRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've had several of the "I can't sleep" complaints. It makes me so mad because there I am working 12 hour MIDNIGHTS, and I would so love to be in their position now. Then there are the "I had a pain 3...

  14. New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    cursenurse replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have hit the old lady back, but believe me, she just bought herself a lovely set of four point leather

    cursenurse replied to catlvr's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I do understand that some things scheduled for hs can be given earlier, but I agree with other posters that it would be best to just get an order to switch times. The problem with just arbitrarily...

  17. Preceptor advice

    cursenurse replied to Turtle in scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot tell you how much I hate the "warm body" view of nurses. It is so degrading to us, and is a reason that we are not seen as a true profession. I wish that we could be seen as individual...

    cursenurse replied to cursenurse's topic in Emergency

  20. Preceptor advice

    cursenurse replied to Turtle in scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I would ask for a preceptor program to be put in place. That way you would have some sort of guideline to go by. I do feel however that with only a year experience and your difficulty...

  23. To lock or unlock wheel chair..

    cursenurse replied to Hausfrau's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I dont see any reason to lock a w/c unless you are about to transfer the pt. I do think that would be a form of restraint because if the person cant walk and their only means of getting around is...

    cursenurse replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing
