  2. How do you deal with ICU superiority complex?

    bluesky replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget the caught in the act moment when someone quotes your pre-edit post before you have the chance to change

  3. How do you deal with ICU superiority complex?

    bluesky replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    i have to really agree with this. i do confess to pulling the icu diva routine every once and a while, but it's only if someone from another floor has given me a really really really hard time...

  4. Working with the gossip queens.....

    bluesky replied to Elaine_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so proud that at my new job there is only one person who is a back-stabbing b***h, and, ladies, get this... it's the only MALE nurse on the whole staff. Yup. Ha, ha,

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

    If, once you get out there, you find yourself completely stressed out and hating what you do, just keep on looking. The exact right place with all the right people is waiting for you, you just have...

  7. lose the attitude

    bluesky replied to christen13's topic in MICU, SICU

    No one is talking about lowering the standard of care. Of course a nurse needs to be informed when he/she has made a mistake. But does the informing nurse have to badmouth the error-making nurse and...

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

    I think if a manager came down too hard on me... I'd be like well, would you have preferred that she get the ancef but stroke out because I didn't do anything about her pressure? I would also voice...

  9. Tips on making that ICU bed look perfect after a bath

    bluesky replied to bluesky's topic in MICU, SICU

    How do you wash the hair? Washcloths or the baggy things? How do you untangle several days of ICU tangles in the hair? How do you not get your IJ dressing wet if you use water? How do you not...

  10. I HATE nursing! (long)

    bluesky replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Talk about a dream come true. How'd you find that job? Do you like the people you take care of? What if one of them goes down at 03:30 A.M, are you

  11. Wrote up for being negative?!?!

    bluesky replied to RNLisa's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds very intersting. Do you have any titles you recommend? I definitely need some instruction in how to overcome this really negative aspect of

  12. I really, really feel like calling it quits

    bluesky replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea where you are. But maybe if you can't find anyone to practice with, nurses from this board may be willing to meet with you and help? I personally live in Maryland by Washington, D.C....

    Exactly.

  15. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    :yelclap: you are awesome,

  16. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I also don't have the time to respond to every point but the last one is peculiar. Please do share the part of the constitution where it is stated that the use of federal revenues to provide benefits...

  17. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do understand your point, honestly. Not true of the jobless rate. I do feel that it applies more to the uninsured working class than the lower middle class- but that's semantics. All differences...

  18. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, not exactly. This is what happens. If she needs to be admitted, she will be admitted and treated by the hospital. This is the law. If however she is well enough to be discharged from the...

  19. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, if you can come up with an alternative to a government mandated or administered system that provides the necessary service_ Healthcare for all American citizens, I'll vote for you.

  20. Tips on making that ICU bed look perfect after a bath

    bluesky replied to bluesky's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thank you both for your advice!

  21. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not really. Adults don't just get benefits when they don't work either they have to pay COBRA which is exhorbitant or apply for medicaid which they will only receive if they are sick. Sick people...

  22. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Quite an imaginative defense of the status quo. Your predictions are based on so many intangible, unproven assumptions that's it's difficult to assess where to begin. To begin with, the extensive...

  23. Uninsured=financial ruin

    bluesky replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Divided and conquered. Both deserve medical care. I just don't believe that in a society where our thrifty president can find $ 1 trillion for the war in Iraq, he can't find enough to cover medical...

  24. Health Care Whistle Blowing: Caught between a rock and a hard place

    bluesky replied to Whistleblower's topic in General Nursing

    Amazing! Justice does prevail in the hands of the strong and the brave! Aside, have you ever considered a career in law ( in addition to nursing of course) ... you are clearly a gifted advocate....

  25. When is it ethical to talk about religion with a patient?

    bluesky replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    The most I've ever done is participate in a prayer session for a dying patient. I may engage in a neutral conversation about a patient's beliefs if they initiate it.... i.e if they want to talk about...
