  1. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    savedbygrace67 replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like you & many of the other nurses reacting to the guest poster are very unfair to her, blaming her for her honest rendition of her experience in a Brazilian hospital. Why can't you...

  2. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    savedbygrace67 replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    Very superior sounding. Any nurse should try & put themselves in the other's place. Hopefully, you will not experience the lack of compassion that the guest poster did when and if you are ever a...

    Incredible lack of compassion & tact. Would not want you for my

  4. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    savedbygrace67 replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    Your outlook on the guest's post is unbelievable! Give this person a break! She had major surgery! She could have had internal bleeding from that fall & been in worse shape! It's inexcusable that...

  5. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    savedbygrace67 replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    What strange answers you gave to the guest who started the thread. Your answers show a real arrogance & lack of empathy, the same qualities she must have seen in the Brazilian nurses. If you...

  6. They locked up all the masks in security ?

    Seems like the person sitting in the anteroom would really risk getting

  7. They locked up all the masks in security ?

    savedbygrace67 replied to RegisteredNurseReneeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's crazy because if a patient is suspected of having coronavirus & tested for it, it has to be mailed off to one of the centers that can test it & that takes up to 48 hrs. By that time, a...

  8. Difficult conversations in the ICU

    savedbygrace67 replied to Ddestiny's topic in Critical Care

    I think nurses should have more time to do what they have to do without having a constant stream of visitors who want immediate answers to their medical questions and reassurances of what will happen...

  9. What is it like still working in critical care when you are in your older years?

    savedbygrace67 replied to alicestill's topic in Critical Care

    As one who has been working in ICU for almost 3 decades, I find that the most obvious one was that after being on my most recent job of almost 9 years, the hospital staffed the unit with all very...

  10. Let Go From Job During Orientation

    savedbygrace67 replied to Coffee&freedom76's topic in General Nursing

    Just consider that it's part of becoming that nurse that you will be. Nursing is full of those who like to sit self-righteously above others and cause others to feel less than. Hang in there,...

  12. Old nurse won't retire

    savedbygrace67 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent answer! It does seem strange that Emergent is so focused on a coworker when don't think for a minute that management will let someone stay on the job who isn't up to par...it's all about...

  13. Old nurse won't retire

    savedbygrace67 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    a cold heart...I would not want you for my nurse. Nursing is just as much about the spirit as the physical...sad that your job is just a job to

  14. Old nurse won't retire

    savedbygrace67 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Herein lies the problem with today's nurses. In the past, nurses considered nursing a calling...it was something that you did because it was in your heart to do it. Nursing is unlike most other...

  16. Old nurse won't retire

    savedbygrace67 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Good comments! I so agree that many younger ones lack respect for older people or for authority...it's like the culture has decided to give way to their self absorption. It all gets back to...

  18. Old nurse won't retire

    savedbygrace67 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well said! So many younger nurses have their faces glued onto their cell phones...it's amazing that managements allow nurses to listen and watch videos, movies, etc. on their phones when they could...

  19. Old nurse won't retire

    savedbygrace67 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I also find it very sad. Older nurses are often just as physically capable of handling the workload as their younger counterparts...plus, they have a lot of experience to offer...which is something...

    savedbygrace67 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with cleback - it's very sad that older nurses aren't appreciated more for what they have to give with their experience. Many older nurses are just as healthyand physically capable of...

    Jesus explained heaven and hell in this way...He spoke of two men who died, one a poor man who went to heaven named Lazarus and a rich man who went to hell. "And being in torments in Hades (hell), he...

  22. Concern: Age Discrimination for a New 58 RN

    savedbygrace67 replied to Cyns's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, it's age 66 to collect full benefits and age 70 to collect the additional 8% a year that you can make from age 66 to 70. You make a very good point though...that older nurses have much...

  23. It's a Stressed Out Job

    savedbygrace67 replied to janemulligan's topic in General Nursing

    Unions aren't really helpful either. My experience has been that although I was paying more than $700 a year to belong to a nursing union, when I needed their help they were absolutely useless. When...
