    LeahJet replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    Mel, I feel for ya! I have PF in my right foot and it kills me. Working 16 hour shifts in the ER is hell on my feet. Things that I have done to kind of help are: 1. wear nike shox with a heel insert...

  7. Is there power in the color white?

    LeahJet replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    I know this may be a silly notion....... But male nurses dressed in all white remind me of Psych Orderlies from the 60's/70's..... ready to take down mental pts. and jab them in the leg with a "shot"...

  8. Is there power in the color white?

    LeahJet replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. The hospital I work at now requires all the nurses to wear white. I have not heard ONE person that likes this. In fact, most hate it. It has been tried many times to reverse this "rule"....to...

  10. I dont want to do this anymore!!!

    LeahJet replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    I do think that Management plays a huge role in the Morale of a unit. When there is bad management, the good nurses leave and the bad stay. If a unit was run properly, the weeds would be pulled early...

  12. The Today Show

    LeahJet replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    What really gets me is the mind set that most of the public has about nursing. The fact that The Today Show criticizes the way we dress speaks volumes. Can you imagine someone saying all attorneys...

  13. "Honey"

    LeahJet replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    In general, it doesn't bother me. There are some circumstances, though, that are somewhat offensive to me. I know I may sound silly...but men (or even women) in some sort of position of authority. For...

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    I wish our ER/security was as supportive as yours. Even though I made out an incident report and voiced my concern......I doubt anything will be

  15. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    LeahJet replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, am sorry that you had to go through that. I learned to keep my RN identity under wraps after I was basically left to take care of myself after a (classic vertical) C-section. One nurse even...

  16. Does ED have a bad rep for mean nurses?

    LeahJet replied to noelle4's topic in Emergency

    I think therein lies the problem. Many people equate assertiveness with "mean". Just as assertive women are called the "B"

  17. Camera phones in the ER

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    I do understand that that it was not Illegal for someone to take my photo. That was never a question, really. I guess I was just basically bringing it to people's attention and wondering if there was...

  19. Camera phones in the ER

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    In this case, I saw him with the phone held up high in front of him (in position) and the admissions clerks stated later they heard the "click" noise. But I do see your point of how it would be hard...

    LeahJet replied to noelle4's topic in Emergency

    Your posts here reveal why you flopped in the ER.... or with the staff at least. The sad part is, you don't even realize what you are doing. I wish you luck and patient
