    Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to DYLANB's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know, right? I was unaware that this was Linked In and I have to carry on as a professional with my name and resume attached. It's like being on one of those "vent threads" and someone new to the...

    Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to DYLANB's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really must have peed in your Cheerios. You don't seem to be able to resist trying to trash every little thing that I say. Get over it. I'm not here to meet with your approval,

    Patients who "cheat" and drive home

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Lilme04's topic in Gastroenterology

    Home? Why does it matter where I go and what responsibility is it of the facility to ensure where I go? If I want to hit up a dance hall and get my money's worth out of that Versed what's the facility...

    Internal transfers- your thoughts?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    It's happened 3 times that I know of in my department in the 15 months I've worked at my current employer. You start to wonder what kind of dirt some of these managers have on upper management to pull...

    What and How Much Can You Tell to Patient's Family?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to CuteNurseUnl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We give everyone a 4 digit code. Family members get mad because they wait around in the ER, then when their parent gets admitted they high tail it out of there, and don't don't stick around long...

    Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to DYLANB's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah I wish I had a dime for every silly story about how "that nurse put this HUGE bruise on mah arm, it took a week to go away!" I just act unimpressed and say "Yep, it happens, doesn't mean the...

    Do I REALLY need a BSN?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to myschuler's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'd rather have that too. But see, there's what's called a COM-PAR-I-SON there in my statement, as opposed to yours. If you don't agree that experience is the best teacher, I don't guess you have...

    Shift Swap Vent

    Check your hospital's policy on swapping. I seriously doubt that you have to come in when your swappee flakes out. Glad you told her to jump off a

    Apparently it's not as weird as you think. Former attorney, current ASN here. And I work med-surg. I don't feel like an ASN without any actual experience would impress any of these legal nurse...

    Too much emphasis on "caring"

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to sweet~revenge's topic in General Nursing

    My manager said she was sending out an email about us being more caring. She said that our patients say that we don't "show enough emotion." I asked her, "So, should I go stand in their room the next...

    Depression/Anxiety Medications A Possible Hinderance to Getting a Job?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to rnsheri's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Good God, if this was the case half of us wouldn't be employed! Not to mention for some of them, their job CAUSED the prescription in the first place!

    Only Charting "The Good Vitals"?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to whitecat5000's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think they can take them, but I wish they just wrote them all on one clipboard and left them at the desk. At work they automatically port to the computer documentation and you have to go look them...

    Where does this information come from? I'm from one of the most litigious states in America and I can't imagine this scenario. If I'm visiting a patient and I happen to be a licensed RN, will I be...

    Not sure what to do with an issue I have with my supervisor.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to afarmer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    And I know how to file retaliation lawsuits. For the record I don't think it's worth it to bring up a 1% disparity. Even a 2% raise looks ridiculous when you break it down by

    Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, Facebook is the downfall of society. It is the only method available to find old boyfriends and girlfriends and destroy your marriage. And don't forget, if you have Facebook, you have no real...

    The first day off after 12's

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    Girl, you crazy! Well I guess somewhat it depends on walking distance, how much you get to sit down, and how much responsibility is on the nurse at the facility. Where I used to work I didn't feel...
