I hold the door open. I figure it is a nice gesture for one and all. My husband holds and lets people come through. Old men say Thanks and get the door so my husband can catch up with me. Young guys walk through. Most women say Thanks.

Hello, Check out USAJOBS.GOV. I am in AR and we are still short 3 nurses at our site. Not too many people want to come to corrections. But is fun and good experience.

Congrats

Well I say spit guard or what ever it is called by the civilian world. Yes I get a picture of what you are talking about. When they come my way with one of those on it will be a very bad night in my world. We have a huge hood, four point restrain...

Yikes. I gave baths for a long time in the late 70's and early 80's to people who did not want baths. Most of time there is a way to talk them into baths, bird bath, shower. Something but not throwing water on them. I would be gunning to get you i...

My husband said it best. You are setting the record straight. I do not like the work ratted out. If she made an honest mistake and was correcting it, the off to the boss you raced that is ratting. I have seen diversion at its finest, where your ...

hello, I have owned and rode motorcycles all my life. We have had dirt bikes, hondas, harleys and now a trike. Most of our close calls have came from someone who does not watch the road. But they do not watch the road if you are in a cage. In my l...

I want to be the nurse who does the best job she can every day at work. I want to be the nurse who cleans up after her self. I want to be the type of nurse who does not cause my coworkers face to fall when they see me.

Oh what a wonderful vent site. I so needed this laugh and am still quietly snickering while drinking my ice tea. Please continue the vents. I miss those comments at work. Right now they are all mean and stuck up. I do my work and come home.

Memphis a little while ago: Game warden ran his own vehicle into two people that had allready killed two cops and were now firing at another cop car. He was so calm. Just knew he had to help. The nurse who came in with coffee for my mom at 0400. ...

All good advise. Make sure that you keep copies of everything. Keep the tapes, and show that the person is calling you. Then when they keep calling you have the proof that they called you to initiate the contact.

I am still thinking it is a big deal both in the administration of the wrong vaccine, and then their response. I think a sincere apology and corrective action goes a long ways. If they told you that after this error they have changed the way vaccin...

I have to get one in purple to match my stethscope. My husband has a hooters one. Can I deducte on my taxes. I need all the help I can get

Hello, I have being giving shots for a long time. Most of the time I draw up in front of patients. I want them to see what is being given. It also allows them to ask questions while I am getting ready. Send a letter to your doctor letting her know...

I have laughed so hard that I blew my iced tea all over the screen. It was such a busy hard week at work. All the patients were sure that they were owed something now. The management staff were sure that we could give everything to all patients. t...

I have to agree with the OP about many new student nurses and even some of the nurses. Professional dress and attitude go a long way in the workplace. I am glad the student nurse got out when she did.

coworkers who do not clean up after themselves and do not restock what they use. I have to spend my time running like a crazed chicken to catch up. sick coworkers who come to work sick and get me there bug and now I am sick on my day off. MD, etc ...

I am curious also. What happean?

If some sone complains, tell them the movie is chosen by major vote of the people who live here and that there is an option to go to other activities. If they continue to complain, I used to say, would you like them to make some choices for you. I ...

Hello, My worst week in the Federal System is still better then the hospital, We still have bad management who brings over some one who is not sick, and they forget the really sick ones. Staff is still my worst issue. Plus the young not sick inmates...

Hello, How did it go. Allways help if you have connections higher then hers.

I was critical thinking when I started on many years ago as a cna. We didn't call it that. It was doing our job to notify the nurse of changes in patients. What ever the change we notified and documented in our books. When I was an LPN I knew the ...

In the past I have done horrible long hours and for many days. Now when I have to do 16 hours I about die. Take me a full day to recover and then I am still tired and cranky on day 2. Know yourself. Can you do it for an extended period. Better to...

The day that I did an EKG (pt turned out not to be scheduled). He was telling me how short of breath he was while walking, etc. Older White Male, previous smoker, no medical care as he was poor and came from the mountains. I think we got him as he...

Hello, Nursing school was the hardest as I did the CNA, LPN, ADN and now am working on the BSN. I would have went straight for my ADN if I had thought about it. That was way the hardest work I have ever did. I do not have call but can be mandated...
