  1. If you could have a different profession...

    SchnauzersRock replied to anurseuk's topic in General Nursing

    Some different ones, that's for sure. Some of them would include: 1. Court reporter 2. Animal control officer (like on Animal Precinct) 3. Owner/operator of one of those little silver diner places 4....

  2. How is this fair?

    SchnauzersRock replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    The last place I worked had the world's worst managers. It was tough sh*t if you had to work short. They didn't come out to the floor to help and were always trying to get floor nurses to "take call"...

  3. Patient as Customer model of healthcare

    SchnauzersRock replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I like how you think. Kindred spirits, ya know! I wish everyone could see it this

  4. Pay issues

    SchnauzersRock replied to Ramrodthegreat's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated as an LPN in 1992, my starting rate of pay was $6.43 per hour. As you can imagine, I wasn't happy with that. I have worked in various settings ovedr the years. Highest rate of pay was...

  5. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    SchnauzersRock replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    We have no control over how others percieve us. They either see us as we are, or as they want to see us, and no amount of talking or acting differently will change how someone feels about you, if...

  6. Tips on how NOT to appear like a Drug seeker

    SchnauzersRock replied to WillowBrook's topic in Emergency

    It's too bad that you have to give them 45 days to find a new doctor. You should just be able to cut them off without a thing. They chose to circumvent the system, and they should have to suffer the...

  7. treating patient anxiety

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

    As a nurse, you are showing good judgement by asking the appropriate questions regarding why the patient may or may not need the PRN medicine. The fact that many patients just want the "effect" of the...

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

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

    It didn't offend me at all. People need to just get over themselves if they can't handle the truth. I see it all the time. It makes everyone's job in health care that much harder. It's totally...

  9. RN vs. PA

    SchnauzersRock replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    The reason this nonsense goes on is because that in spite of this being the 21st century, people look at nurses as little more than Florence Nightingales, who have nothing better to do than wipe...

  10. To all the "Old School" Nurses

    SchnauzersRock replied to TiggerBelly's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 16 years, and I can definitely tell you that in that short period of time, I have seen the absolute worst in behavior. People are more entitlement-minded these days,...

  11. It's Eval Time!! Why we're unable to score all "excellent" ratings

    SchnauzersRock replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    In one LTC facility I worked at years ago, the LPN's were in charge of evaluating the STNAs. I remember one eval in particular that I had done, and there were some "5" scores (they went from 1 to 5,...
