  2. Support Stickie for New nurses who are not coping

    PeaceonearthRN replied to madwife2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do think reprimand might be a strong word; however, in the world 'learning' we might say, that is a skill that you need to know about! Truly, with or without experience in a specific field, ALL...

    PeaceonearthRN replied to marilynmom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Gawd, I got out of psych as it has as many trepidations and problems as any other area; I guess if you are not in charge, it is not as difficult. However, I can also understand why someone would take...

    PeaceonearthRN replied to madwife2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, must the the telemetry units all over! First, I could post horror story after horror story about nurses who LOVE to report people - especially if they are new or better yet on night shift!...

  6. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    PeaceonearthRN posted a topic in Emergency

    I am appalled at the treatment my daughter received tonight in Arizona while visiting an ER. She is in Arizona because her fiance is in school there; she was mugged a few months ago and fell hurting...

    This is great advise as long as the administration and/or staff do not feel you are 'new' and just have to suck it

  8. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    Hello. The reason I have brought up a few stories is this: "Attitude is EVERYTHING in life" even the ER. You never know where a person is coming from, their circumstances, etc. Presuming something...

  9. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    Yes that is a good idea. I want to give her a chance to contact the orthopod herself and address this. She has until Monday! Thank you again. Until you are three thousand miles away from your child,...

  10. May 2008 grads....how are things going?

    PeaceonearthRN replied to marilynmom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes you will be good ENOUGH! It is very difficult to be a 'new' nurse, learn the ropes of the facility, the people, who you can kid with and who takes your 'humor' in the wrong way. It is difficult...

  11. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    I so do understand. It happens to me once a week. I still try to treat everyone with dignity and respect. Working cardiac, I often encounter people that are angry from how they 'perceived' their...

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    The first words out of the doctor's mouth was, "you can get a pregnancy test at the dollar store'. Yes, they treated her like a dog. My case in point. Yes, ER 's are for urgent matters; however, we...

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    Wow, I just re read your quote 'we know that intelligent creatures live in outerspace because they have not contacted us!'. I LOVE IT! Maybe they are just able to use both sides of their brains. the...

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    First, you misread my posts. I do not work in a 'psych unit'., I work in cardiac but have worked in emergency rooms, free standing psychiatric facilities (the last one I left because they refused to...

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

  16. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    Emergency rooms are for EMERGENCIES!!!! Knee pain for an injury that happened 2 mths ago is not an emergency, esp. if she able to ambulate. As far as her PCP not being able to see her til she has a...

  17. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    Fortunately, she found an ER that would see her. Apparently, she is sick to her stomach from a UTI; they did make a referral to an ortho guy and treated her with dignity and respect. This is all a...

    PeaceonearthRN replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    "the primary care doctor cannot see her until the end of march'. as well i am certain she needs an mri but no one has done one even when she was mugged. somehow, you missed the point. there is no...

    Hmm,, maybe if you like emergency medicine you could come and work in the cardiac step down unit with multple system failures that often code. We need experts ! Come and join us! I would love to...

  23. are you born a nurse or do the nursing instructors make you a nurse?

    PeaceonearthRN replied to misouritraveller's topic in General Nursing

    Often it is a calling. The message may start out small and soft and one may get hints for years and years! When the BIG calling comes, you NEVER forget it! It's as loud as a bang regardless of how...

    Re: having a 'rough' life or a 'rough' time of it I always say, go to nursing school and watch your entire family act up!

    PeaceonearthRN replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing
