    Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think you qualified for any disability leave because you hadn't worked there long enough. Don't know that you should have been reported to the board, but you don't just get to send in...

    I had this same complaint when I was a nurse extern still in school (our hospital used us as unlicensed patient care assistants). I hated when nurses would respond snottily to something you were...

    Is this common? The new face of the ED

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to mariposa311's topic in Emergency

    You don't have a manner in which to edit and show that you did not take a lunch? You have even better grounds for a fair wage lawsuit, because all of your employees are being shown as taking a lunch...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I know. I've had them over a year though and they still look pretty good and the details (like the one with the strap and belt buckle across the front, and the button tabs that go around the back) are...

    Is this common? The new face of the ED

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to mariposa311's topic in Emergency

    I don't work in the ED, so I don't know what it should be like, but I just wanted to say that if you're not getting an unpaid 1/2 hour lunch and two paid 15 minute breaks, REFUSE to clock out for...

    Nursing Scrubs: The Material Makes A Difference

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This. So, some other people on this post need to check all their righteous indignation about the OP complaining she has to be a "half ____ CNA," because that is what she feels she is. She is saying...

    This. How many times do I feel the need to say "you don't get to dictate the content or the delivery of the advice given when you ask for advice!!!" But, some people are new to adult life and don't...

    Help! I really messed up and don't know what to do

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    They have a Facebook page. People "like" their page, and receive these posts on their own Facebook feeds. Whoever is in control of the Allnurses.com's Facebook page chooses what board posts to cross...

    Weird interviews

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to redhead_NURSE98!'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's why they are goofy. Everyone asks them, everyone expects them and everyone makes up some canned answer for them. The 2nd reason they are goofy is that people rarely tell the whole truth when...

    Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I do see their rationale, unfortunately they will, as always, manage to take it so far that they will be legislated out of doing anything to anybody, and will just create plenty more litigation over...
