  1. Tattle Tail Traits in Nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    I think for most circumstances it is about being miserable or needing attention. Either way, we all know TT's are WEIRD. If they only knew what people said about them behind their backs......for...

  2. Tattle Tail Traits in Nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    OMG....you just gave me a great idea! When I get rich, I'm going to hire a PI to check into the personal lives of the TT's and the managers and post their imperfections all over - on billboards -...

  3. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    BrokenRNheart replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One of the reasons there are more BSN's is because there are MORE UNIVERSITIES. HELLO>>>>>>> This is about someone making money. It does NOT require more theory to make me a...

  4. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    BrokenRNheart replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The only thing "THEORY" does is put more money into the pockets of the nurses that are NOT in bedside care. After all, it is all those nurses that are into theory that are the reason for the shortage...

  5. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    BrokenRNheart replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "The BSN has more theory than hands on" Ooops, Let me correct that. Just has MORE THEORY than ADN - not hands on - SO

  6. MICHIGAN: Safe Patient Care

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's why we need our own petition. I know where one

  7. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    BrokenRNheart replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Totally absurd. The BSN has more theory than hands on. I am more experienced than any new grad BSN. With the nursing shortage, I can't see this happening. Nurses are already unhappy. I, for one,...

  8. Letter to Congress: ANA "Safe Staffing Saves Lives" campaign

    BrokenRNheart replied to marie-francoise's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand what you are saying here and agree. At this point, they are the only ones even addressing the topic nationally. I have a link for a national petition that is more specific for nursing as...

  9. Thank you's - memorable ones you've received?

    BrokenRNheart replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I remembered some more: Free haunted hay ride for 10 of my friends I get birthday cards, christmas cards, nurses day cards (&gifts) and sometimes birthday gifts every year from a mother of an...

  10. Tattle Tail Traits in Nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Someone else posted the ridiculous unit wide tattling protocol. Come on TT's - get help. I do believe in Karma. I have noticed that some of the notorious award winning brown-nosers tend to be very...

  11. Tattle Tail Traits in Nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    I just feel that one of the problems with this field is the TT's. You can be busting your tail trying to do good work and anything little thing you do wrong goes straight to the manager as if there...

  12. Tattle Tail Traits in Nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Another poor solution to the problem. Maybe things would get done if they staffed appropriately. Where do these people come from? To actually believing starting harsh feelings against eachother and...

  13. Hurt at work....is this the hospitals fault?

    BrokenRNheart replied to silverrainbows's topic in General Nursing

    Be prepared for scrutiny. Every one that I have worked with that went for injuries was treated like a liar and the manager and hospital was trying to find their fault or a lie in the story. I hope...

  14. Thank you's - memorable ones you've received?

    BrokenRNheart replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1) A large cash donation - of course I didn't get it the hospice agency did 2) A "bird of peace" gold charm 3) A trip to the bahamas All for being "their nurse" The things they said to me will...

  15. Tattle Tail Traits in Nursing??

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    I'm impressed. Well put. Ya, it is so true. It is embarassing when you are lied about. I have decided to claim insanity from now on. Go ahead. Lie about me. I have decided that I have multiple...

    BrokenRNheart replied to kamasa's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I found. You are right.....too

  17. WebRN a myth?

    BrokenRNheart replied to kamasa's topic in General Nursing

    She looks posed. This seems to be it because it is

  18. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    But that might make someone unhappy. As usual......no boundaries in nursing. The patient was NOT happy about it. She was corrected on that

  19. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    But overeating can kill you. Just because you won't overdose at the moment doesn't mean it won't kill you. I say this with my own war with not eating right. But, you would have to take me kicking and...

  22. Ethics: Does it bother you when people are in nursing to make money?

    BrokenRNheart replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    YES. However there are people that might have chosen the pay and security and are professional and hard workers. What you described makes

  23. Safety Concerns with Home Health or Home Visits?

    BrokenRNheart replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    All in all.....NO. I have only had 3 things that I can remember. 1) Watching roaches crawl around while doing a visit. I loved the patient and wife so I didn't let it bother me 2) Had a "crackhead"...

  24. Kicked out of Nursing program

    BrokenRNheart replied to leereynold218's topic in General Nursing

    You stated nothing less than a C but she has a gpa of 3.4 If she was getting by (which doesn't seem the case with 3.4....but....?) That retake and a C- might have told the school that she was...
