    Do you cut off Name Band?

    StNeotser replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't do this when I d/c and so far we haven't been told to. Yet another thing I

    The things you absolutely cant stand about nursing.

    StNeotser replied to ccbc_student's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I have no idea why they do this. We had a cold day a couple of weeks ago and no heating. Had a lady up in her wheelchair with two layers, found her a fleece jacket from lost and found, had...

    The things you absolutely cant stand about nursing.

    StNeotser replied to ccbc_student's topic in General Nursing

    The whole "customer service" thing. Giving food to an NPO patient or giving a diabetic amputee three helpings of ice cream isn't "customer service". If you do a search on "customer service" on these...

    Family members and Visitors telling me HOW to do my job!!!

    StNeotser replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really don't think they should be "visiting" if we're doing dressing changes or procedures and a lot of the time I ask them to leave the room. Did once have an awful family whose 99 year old father...

    Don't know what to do. I just CAN'T. TAKE. THIS. ANYMORE...........

    I know you're doing all the right things and don't have any good advice to give you. Thinking of you and good luck! Unfortunately the reality is, some hospital most likely needs

    Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    StNeotser replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    When I was a new LPN and had a stopped up g-tube. This really kindly older RN told me to get a can of coke from the machine and then she'd help me. So as I'm pushing the syringe with coke in, the...

    You Know You've Had A Hectic Shift/Day At Work

    StNeotser replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    After a night shift - at every red light you start day dreaming of a big white fluffy bed with heaps of pillows and fluffy down comforters - never wanted to indulge too much in case I actually fell...

    Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

    StNeotser replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    The media are always calling people who do not hold a nursing license nurses. Debbie Rowe is always being called a nurse when she is an MA. Which is why I don't believe a lot of stuff in the press...

    what is your biggest pet peeve while at work?

    StNeotser replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Nitpicky management who add more paperwork every week and want you clocked out on time. Sometimes I go home thinking I've achieved the unachievable and some nitpicky twerp finds that I didn't put a...

    Tired of reading this.....

    StNeotser replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, a lot of places I've worked like male techs because, more often that not they are stronger. I would keep trying. Also I'd like to say that we do appreciate the nursing assistants and...

    Anyone get out of a ticket just for being an RN?

    StNeotser replied to nicu4me's topic in General Nursing

    Once. He didn't say that's why he did it but I think that's why he did it and I was going about 11 over the speed limit. It was at one of those points where the speed limit just changed. However,...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    StNeotser replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Quit telling your OCD PITA daughter that you are in pain every ten minutes then have her come screaming and shouting at the nurses station for me. That means I have to trump down to your room for you...

    LPN to RN ...Nursing school nightmare

    StNeotser replied to SamiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I felt like I'd joined the military when I was going through school but with the added bonus that I was paying good cash for it. Sorry to hear all the woes, I do

    I'm working TWO full time jobs, crazy??

    StNeotser replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    When my husband first left my house I ended up working 48 hours one week and 56 the next. These were scheduled hours but as we all know, we don't all clock out immediately at shift change, I probably...

    Why don't employers start lowering wages for nurses?

    StNeotser replied to hcer4507's topic in General Nursing

    I could go and work at the grocery store for that amount of money. No responsibility for lives, and my hair would not be greying up at it's current

    What's in your sharps container?

    How do I explain that I'm "JUST" a LPN ??

    StNeotser replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Oh geez. The N stands for nurse, right? Plus I have encountered a lot of patients who seem to think that nursing in general is some sort of six week training course you took at the hospital. Be...

    What do health insurance corporations do?

    StNeotser replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I also really wonder how much this whole "customer service" BS is wholly detrimental to patient care. Nobody really says in a lawsuit "oh, your nurse was so busy attending to the rude loud annoying...

    Smoking in LTCF

    StNeotser replied to jschut's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We had a problem with this and the only reason it was resolved is because the resident shifted floors. Aside from the smoke fumes, I was infuriated that anyone thought I had 20 minutes twice a shift...
