  1. treating patient anxiety

    BrokenRNheart replied to leigh.anne's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree but the hospital usually sides with the patient. It's a no win situation. Same with pain and JCAHO. I had a PURE drug addict cop that was out of control. I made the mistake of...

  3. Dumbest thing you've done in nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    This is kinda bad. My first death. I was a brand new tech/nursing student. Pt was a no code and ON A VENT. Nurses took me in to see the process and "pronounced" him when his HR and BP were ZERO....

  5. What's YOUR nursing obsession?

    BrokenRNheart replied to tanthalas's topic in General Nursing

    Untangle and tidy up the room. Can't stand linen all over and garbage on the table. First and foremost is untangle. Irritating to come in and the patient is tied up, tangled and has NO slack in them...

  9. Confused!!! I already have a degree - should I do a BSN program or an MSN program

    BrokenRNheart replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    I think with all the changes they want to make in nursing this needs to be addressed. The accelerated BSN program is hard if you don't have any experience. Accelerated is just that. I would say the...

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't tell her off as much as I told her the facts and she didn't like it and twisted it. I told her how unsafe it was on the floor and how the moral had changed and that I didn't feel she...

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

  17. Tattle Tail Traits in Nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe somewhere else. All I know is the thought of working in that atmosphere again makes me want to puke. I am so done with it. Over it. Never want it ever again. Won't kid myself. I have seen...

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    "personal blow to management." By leaving it was insulting. That is kinda what started it and I just didn't suck up or kiss butt. I was unhappy. People around me were unhappy. I had reached my...

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing
