    Unit Clerks are Useless!

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to HUCtoRNBScN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that a US is worth their weight in gold, and that the comments those nurses made were out of line. Especially the coffee-fetching. Next time i was "told" by one of the nurses to get them a...

    Snide Comments From Family Members

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Consider that before they were surgical nurses, they had clinicals in nursing school in various depts. And perhaps they worked on the floor before getting into surgery, so maybe they knew/know the...

    LTC Dignity

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Redzie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People being busy is a pathetic excuse for disrespect. I tried to put myself in that predicament mentally as much as possible, and yes, graphic. If i were only getting cleaned every 2 hours min, how...

    Bookwalter retractors

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to sharann's topic in Operating Room

    We have one of those (he doesn't ask for a Bookwalter though). That retractor would impair him even further by being in his way. What does the OR supervisor say about

    Would you let your hospital treat your loved one?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have the opposite feeling about the "special treatment". I would be saying to myself "it took working here to get platinum care??". When i had surgery a few months ago, i got treated like everyone...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Operating Room

    And that's why i thought to post this. We got directions on where the OR was in the hospital, we didn't get ANY other instructions, nothing. Therefore we got to the floor and didn't have a clue...

    Racism in the workplace

    Should there be a limit on trying to pass NCLEX?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to 2ndCareerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not at my school. Their pass rate was 95% percent, but any school should not have to spoonfeed people to get them to learn. And quite honestly, there are a few students that do expect to be able to...

    Racism in the workplace

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    And apparently Rush Limbaugh is still as stupid as he ever was (if he's not receiving death threats after those remarks, i'll be shocked). As for the 50 years remark made by Liu, the people of this...

    What would make you happy?...employee satisfaction

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to natsfanrn's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad we don't have an employee satisfaction committee (it's been suggested several times and shot down). Reasonable nurse-pt. ratios that are based on acuity rather than amt. of pts. (not asking...
