    I can honestly say i've never read such a sheltered, degrading, tacky, assumptive, misinformed, and non-contributive post before i read the above quoted. Greaaaaat first impression. Won't be seeing...

    Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, Dorimar's post clearly stated they had complained (for years), yet nothing was done. The idiot and baby reference was really uncalled for as well. We're supposed to be mature adults, and not just...

    Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    Is this not a form of neglect? It's not like they can attend to any pt. needs while snoring. Doing this would have landed me a pink slip, and it's ouotrageous that those people still have jobs, the...

    For minor surgeries ansd lacerations, our docs are expected (it's actually policy) to dispose of their own sharps. The majority are very good about this, they will even hold them up in the air and...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to OKJen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have a few that are cross-trained, not all are though. I do OR full time and do pre-op PRN. Even during the case there can be quite a bit of interaction, if the pt. is just getting local...

    Do You Have Male Nurses on your Unit?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um, as long as it's a competent and caring nurse (hey NOTE that i did not put a specific gender), that's what matters. Although i will say that "male nurses" don't blend in very well when people act...

    OB or OR?

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

    In the very rural hospitals, maybe no. I know of one in WV where their employees are lucky to get 30 hours a week. This is in a town with about 9,000 people though. Other than that, in a reasonable...

    Differences between Medical Assistants and Registered Nurses?

    That's a pretty unfair statement. First, MAs are not always being bashed, and second, any that are "bashed" are the ones featured in the threads about ones refer to themselves as nurses or ones...
