  1. Picking up slack from coworkers?

    Crush replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    I usually understand if something is accidentally missed. This seems like an issue since you mentioned it has been going on for four months now. I would say something. Approach this as a safety...

  2. Emergency situation at work

    Crush replied to Emilythenewgrad's topic in General Nursing

    You can always do a formal write up explaining your stance and how it affected patient safety. Even if your DON does not support you, you now would have a paper trail in the event this continues. ( I...

  3. Found a Knife, Scared

    Crush replied to Michellelove's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what type of confrontation it was, but either way, to then have a knife in the locker does not sound too good. I'd take it as a major concern. Sounds like a hostile work environment. It just...

  4. Found a Knife, Scared

    Crush replied to Michellelove's topic in General Nursing

    I would be looking for another job. I sure would take that kind of threat seriously as you did. I also would not let anyone know if you are looking for other employment. I also like the idea OldDude...

  5. Dealing with Stress at Work

    Crush replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    We get some our pts involved in games. Get them up and challenge them to a game of Spades or Rummy. Sometimes a little Farkle or Uno. But that depends on the unit I am on and the kind of pts I have....

  6. Condom snorting

    Crush replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Or the arm on the stove burner challenge. I just don't understand it and not really sure I want to understand it

  7. How much PTO does everyone get?

    Crush replied to Camino77's topic in General Nursing

    New hires get 1 week vacation and same in sick leave. Second year you get 1 and a half week vacation time but remain at 1 week for sick time. After 3 yrs it goes up again a little. By 8 yrs we get 4...

  8. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    Crush replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a big deal with accepting a card or if they draw you a picture. Other gifts..........nope. I think what we as nurses can or can't accept may vary depending on facility policies, etc. As a...

  9. Patient going to send nurse to Concentration Camps??

    Crush replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    Love

  10. Too Soon to be Charge?

    Crush replied to KeepingItSterile's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is a set time per se of when is too soon or anything like that with readiness to take on the "Charge Nurse" role. It sounds like you have seniority on the ward, even though you've...

  11. When you have a rule that you don't 'friend' coworkers on FB

    Crush replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago I sent a friend a FB friend request. (not a co-worker friend) She did not respond and ignored it. I knew she had an account and like I said, we were friends, known her a while but not close...

  12. Treatment of vulnerable patients

    Crush replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Be gentle with yourself. 3 times is certainly not

  13. Hoping I did the right thing for my patient

    Crush replied to Agmiuit's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. You did the right

  14. When you have a rule that you don't 'friend' coworkers on FB

    Crush replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell them and give a short explanation as to why

  15. IV incompatibility error

    Crush replied to Pinkflower77's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you are concerned for the patient. Now, go to your manager and report it. Take accountability and provide ways you have learned from this and how you can prevent this from happening again in the...

  16. I need an experts opinions please !!

    Crush replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, you did nothing wrong. I respect you standing up for yourself and reporting this. If they did this to you, they'll do this to someone else as well. Hope your manager & HR are able to not...

  17. Any advice on how to study for NURSING SCHOOL???

    Crush replied to NewGradRN96's topic in General Students

    I also read my text and class notes into a recorder that I listened to in the car, out on walks, while washing dishes. I read my flash card while on the toilet, during commercials, etc. Of course, I...

  18. Help with board complaint

    Crush replied to FrenchieB1986's topic in General Nursing

    I had never heard of the Alienation of Affection thing. Then maybe this might be something the BON in your state may look into. Glad you are following up with a lawyer. If nothing else, the...

    Crush replied to FrenchieB1986's topic in General Nursing

    Awaiting the Davey Do cartoon in 3, 2,

  20. "I am a nurse!"

    Crush replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have also been fortunate that I have not had any issues with family members who are nurses. The ones I have issue with is the ones who use Dr. Google and WebMD and then break out the spiral notebook...

  21. Help with board complaint

    Crush replied to FrenchieB1986's topic in General Nursing

    There is the possibility of the ex-spouse taking you to court for damages in which that may be a possibility for BON involvement ( although doubtful ). Have you checked with your BON's website? I...

  22. Terminated years ago, go back as travel nurse?

    Crush replied to KrispyRN1's topic in Travel

    You are not hired by the facility. You are being "loaned" to that facility by the travel agency. I would let your travel agency know what happened with that hospital though just to cover yourself. If...

  23. Religious discrimination

    Crush replied to amiss8488's topic in General Nursing

    I have close work friends/relationships that have been slowly built over the years though. We do have boundaries established and have all honored them. Shoot, we have had our differences at work but...

  25. "I am a nurse!"

    Crush replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would jump up with no problem and assist. A medical emergency is different than when family bombards you with nursing
