    Would you call in because you didn't get any sleep?

    StNeotser replied to Elvish's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have twice before. The one time I called in I had been up for 27 hours and have no idea why I couldn't sleep that day. The second time was because of a family emergency that happened during the...

    How do you feel about famous Doctors doing medication ads?

    StNeotser replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose it must be legal, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. But I don't feel like they are ethical because they must be being paid to endorse certain products. I just hate the whole "Ask your...

    StNeotser replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Oooh, not giving a multivitamin three days in a row could have caused a fatality!! If this is LTC, then this nurse is giving some 10 odd meds to about 30 people. She missed a multivitamin. Had I...

    Lazy Workers

    StNeotser replied to marjoriemac's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One thing I might point out. You say they were on "break". Was it their unpaid own time break? If it was then you've no cause to complain. However someone should have been around to take them to...

    Sleeping during nightshift!!

    StNeotser replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    You know that thread you started about how nurses looked down on phlebotomists? I think you misread that. It probably had something to do with something

    Sleeping during nightshift!!

    StNeotser replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    Amen! We have an hour break at noc and most people take advantage of the time to sleep. It's funny about the 30 minute thing but sometimes I feel like I've been asleep for hours. There is a downside...

    would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    StNeotser replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No. And before some nit starts saying we're in it for the money, so is everybody else. You won't get doctors working for 50K

    Question... are we supposed to help? Good Samaritan.

    StNeotser replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I must admit, because I don't do trauma/ED nursing I would'nt feel like I'd be much help. I do the CPR courses every two years and aside from having to do the heimlich & suction someone who was...

    Just where do our services end?

    StNeotser replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    "I work harder than a nurse in a hospital."

    StNeotser replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    I think we all probably have it pretty tough. Have never worked in a non clinical nursing job so couldn't compare. But the "we have it worse than them" argument seems to crop up all the time. If...

    StNeotser replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    haven't had a lot of problems with nurses. However, I am now looking after an 82 year old ex pediatrician who doesn't seem to understand why we are not behaving how nurses did in the 1950's. He...

    Hello all. I work in Colorado and we have recently been struck by a couple of snow storms. The first one I don't believe we were prepared for. It was bad and most roads through the metro Denver area...

    Nurses just want everyone to have a foley!

    StNeotser replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    I think what the OP was getting at is the guidelines concerning LTAC. I have had to document that I have had a patient who q 8 hr shift was retaining all the time for a week, sometimes up to 1000cc...

    What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    StNeotser replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Once I gave a suppository to a LOL with low Na. I had explained to her how it was going to be given. The next day the story went that I had invited a "gang of black guys to watch" Admittedly she...

    Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

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

    agreed. if one looks at the world in general, notice how much more aggression is elicited by men. look at who starts wars. look at how many more males are in prison than females. look at women...

    What's special about male nurses?

    StNeotser replied to GBS_Fan's topic in General Nursing

    You mean during your whole nursing career you haven't worked with a male backstabber? I've met with at least twenty, and I haven't been a nurse that long. In my opinion it is because the USA is still...
