  1. Male coworkers harrassing female staff...

    bluesky replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    I'd find some way to record him being a pig (the Tungsten T3 PDA has a recording application...) and take it to human resources. That should work right

  2. Two students caught cheating......

    bluesky replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    I know many outstanding, moral folks in my class (not me, cuz I'm very picky about my writing) who have borrowed each other's papers. It's not right really, but I don't think it necessarily means...

  3. Two students caught cheating......

    bluesky replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    In an absolutely just world where everyone who cheated got caught, I would say kick them out of the program. In this world, where others who didn't get caught proceed sans probleme, I would opt for...

  4. Why do nursng students HAVE to have health insurance b/4 they strart cliniclas?

    bluesky replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Nursing

  5. lpn-rn...same difference

    bluesky replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    I think the easiest way to discredit the Aiken study would be to create whole other groups of association in the same sample hospitals. All you would have to do is find just one other highly...

  6. lpn-rn...same difference

    bluesky replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    There are far too many confounding variables for a genuinely causal relationship to be

  7. What do you think about dating your coworkers?

    bluesky replied to BGSUstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Me too. It sort of hurt my career,

  8. Need Advice!!

    bluesky replied to wilbur1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sure many people have said this to you already BUT... consider yourself lucky because these are clearly unprofessional, dishonest and unsupportive people. I had a similar situation. I did my...

  9. Is there room for sensitive individuals in Nursing?

    bluesky replied to nursing6's topic in Nursing Career

    Well this is what I have found... first of all most nurses are sensitive to their patient's needs. Often however, they seem to lose this sensibility when it comes to how they (we) treat each other....

  10. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    bluesky replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    Hey I don't cheat, get good grades and I STILL don't know what I'm

  11. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    bluesky replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how a student would be allowed to a)use a PCA or b) IVP morphine. Most programs I know prohibit both. Something sounds fishy with this

  12. Do you think a nursing instructor should have acute care experience?

    bluesky replied to gerinurse10's topic in General Nursing

    My program is soooo short on instructors that we have the same instructors over and over again. Most of them are GNPs. A psych NP is teaching my critical care/med surg senior practicum and she's...

    :chuckle :chuckle ITA!!!! Me

  14. Pediatrician's with children vs. Peds. without

    bluesky replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't think there's a connection, really. In my own personal experience, I have found that there are great pediatricians with and without children and lowsy pediatricians with and without...

  15. New Grad Pay in Union Shop really low!

    bluesky posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi all! I just applied for a job at a union shop. Don't get me wrong I just luuuuv being part of it, I just don't quite understand why the new grad pay is $2 lower than all the other local hospitals-...

  16. I find this disturbing

    bluesky replied to laurasc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Personally, I'd report the 2 docs to the sick one and promptly resign. I just couldn't work for low lifes like that. Legal or not, not only are these 2 weasels behaving unethically, they're dragging...

  17. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    bluesky replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    My biggest pet peeve is docs who do really poor assessments, don't even read the nurse's fine work and then "suddenly" discover something that had been in the nurse's note hours earlier

  18. interview clothes

    bluesky replied to tonchitoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel guilty. Is it right that the poor chinese textile worker who made the garment will only see a penny for that suit? Heck no. Is it fair that the daughter and/or wife of the CEO of the...

  19. interview clothes

    bluesky replied to tonchitoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this helps exactly but I just had 2 interviews at 2 different hospitals, both nationally ranked level 1 trauma centers. I spent $200 on a suit to interview at hospital A where I had...

  20. Question: Unions

  23. performing EKGs

    bluesky replied to zacarias's topic in Cardiac

    I don't know anyone who reads let alone heeds the machine's interpretation. The computer uses algorithms which simply cannot substitute for plain old good educated

  24. Stolen scrubs

    bluesky replied to #1rnstudent's topic in General Students

    You'd think the hospital would have a little more important things to worry about. I wouldn't want to work somewhere they've prosecuted a whole school for one person's possible minor infraction. I...

  25. Would you assist in abortions?

    bluesky replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um. This is an awkward topic for me as I am one of those "I support a woman's right but would never do it myself types". I would certainly administer the morning after pill but the assist with the...
