  1. Nursing Documentation Forms

    PeaceonearthRN replied to KimRN41514's topic in Nurse Management

  2. Orienting a new hire - issues

    PeaceonearthRN replied to teleRN08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    PeaceonearthRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My CEO has a no abuse policy!!!! Amen to that.... It's not a perfect environment, managers are 'young' and could use a course in engagement of staff; however, no abuse is

  4. Finally a Nurse Manager That Does NOT Tolerate Nurses Eating Their Young

    PeaceonearthRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would be right there with her; there is NO reason to teach/develop nurses and be a bullie. They would be meeting the highway if I were their manager !! Let's start a

    PeaceonearthRN replied to SFnrs's topic in Travel

    I agree! He falls into the "I deserve to be (fill in the blank). I'm glad you have a happy ending. No nurse should be abused for asking for orientation. God

  7. How to bring in a nurses union in a non union state?

    PeaceonearthRN replied to sunshinepsychRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Hi Sunshine, You might want to contact unions in various states to see how they handled this. U.H.S. is a big company with a lot of 'connections'. Good

  8. Breaking through the cliques

    PeaceonearthRN replied to sushinerd's topic in MICU, SICU

    There are always nurse nasties, nurse know iy alls, and the like. Put your energy into the patients and go home. I left an office clique once, returned to my "friendly" hard working floor and clinic...

  9. Support Stickie for New nurses who are not coping

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

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

    Two thumbs up to this manager. If you only knew how few would do this. They just lose people, don't know why, don't care why. Go out and get another nurse. They don't seem to realize that being tuned...

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

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

    Wow! If they are willing to orient you without med/surg experience, why not try it? I think that is wonderful for you! You can work around your child and that seems to be the priority which is...

  16. nursing grad who cant seem to pass boards

    PeaceonearthRN replied to angieb82's topic in General Nursing

    I third the motion for Kaplan. You will be forced to find out 'why'. You can also supplement your 'why' questions with the rationales from Saunders. Everything happens in the 'right' time when it's...

  17. Where do you think the nursing problem / shortage begins??

    PeaceonearthRN replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    A reality check for directors would be a good start; lowering the financial bottom line would be next. Looking at how litigeous the units are and staffing accordingly. Adopting a real 'zero...

  23. The "bully" nurse

    PeaceonearthRN replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
