  3. Who do nurses make more than?

    DoeRN replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not write in text language. It is hard to understand and does not get your point across. If you write in complete sentences we will understand what your questions are and therefore be able...

  5. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    DoeRN replied to GlowBear500's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I was this nurse and a doctor threw a chart at me I would have pressed charges against him. How can he be a wonderful doctor who likes to assault

  6. Charge Nurse Ignores Me

    DoeRN replied to qt2168's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We all have different approaches and I don't go in trying to be buddy buddy with someone. I'm not there to make friends. I'm there to do my job and it's obvious this charge nurse isn't doing hers and...

  7. Feeling burned out

    DoeRN replied to RN1023's topic in Nursing Career

    What do you want to get your masters in? Can you possibly get an entry level job for what you want to get your masters in? Or are you thinking NP or something like that? I'm burnt out too and decided...

  9. Charge Nurse Ignores Me

    DoeRN replied to qt2168's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think she should have to butter her up to get her to do her job. She is a charge nurse and staff will ask you questions and use you as a resource. The charge nurse needs to learn people and...

  10. Tired of it all

    DoeRN replied to DSkelton711's topic in General Nursing

    You have to remember nursing was a lot different back then. I've been in healthcare for 11 years and have seen changes. Drastic changes

  11. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    DoeRN replied to GlowBear500's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been yelled at and each time I wrote an incident report. I worked as a secretary at a top 10 not for profit hospital in one of the ICU's while in school. This pulmonary attending yelled at me as...

  12. Cost Cutting/Budgeting --- the patients suffer the most

    DoeRN replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm the exact same way. When I get report I'm clocked in. And if I'm not finished charting or doing whatever needs to be done at the end of my shift I'm staying on the clock until it is completed. If...

  13. Be careful with FACEBOOK

    DoeRN replied to Stephieee's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I haven't had fb in over 3 years so I'm sure it has changed. Maybe they went to your account and was able to search the hospital name? I'm not sure how it can be done. But good call on deleting the...

  15. I did a dumb thing today and learned a lesson

    DoeRN replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    You don't have to keep your mouth shut. You need to learn the art of tact. You can get your point across in a professional manner. Maybe you should take a communications class. Don't put up with...

  16. Charge Nurse Ignores Me

    DoeRN replied to qt2168's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It will get her attention. Be assertive. Say excuse me if she is talking to another person then if and when she focuses her attention on you make your statement or ask your questions. Stand near her...

  17. Why do Critical Care nurses look down their noses at Med-Surg nurses?

    DoeRN replied to marisatheresa's topic in Critical Care

    The funny thing is from my experience floor nurses and ICU nurses are paid the same rate. We all went to nursing school and learned the same thing. Some choose to take additional training in order to...

  20. What to wear?

    DoeRN replied to LilgirlRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would wear a suit. I'm sure the person interviewing you already knows you are a nurse. If you don't have a suit nice dress slacks, plain shirt and

    DoeRN replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    Lol I feel the exact same way. That's why I know I could never work in

  22. Tired of it all

    DoeRN replied to DSkelton711's topic in General Nursing

    Very sad and I have run across many nurses who feel this way. Myself included. I worked yesterday on a step down floor and had a good assignment for once. I was actually able to spend time with the...
