  1. any job movement for indy new grads?

    Crispy Critter replied to hbgwan's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Yeah, same companies with the same jobs posted week after week. I have known people who have worked at some of the LTC facilities, and high turnover due to poor working conditions is the reason for...

  2. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    Crispy Critter replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for the wine cellar idea. Might make some of the crabby ones mellow out, man. But the visitors would complain because they didn't get any. And then the patients would want hor d'oeuvres to go...

  3. What would you change about nursing?

    Crispy Critter replied to Tay245's topic in General Nursing

    How about a little

  4. Milk and Molasses Enemas

    Crispy Critter replied to trixie's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when those 3H enemas from the 70's! Also,"Enemas till clear" was a common order for test prep, and some patients tolerated it very poorly. I, too, thought someone was yanking my chain when...

  5. I don't want to regret staying in Nursing....LPN-RN

    Crispy Critter replied to NurseOTPT's topic in Nursing Career

    I thought this forum was for people to express themselves-to vent,to learn,to share. Just because we express dissatisfaction or commiserate with someone else doesn't mean we have our "heads up our...

  6. Must see commercial for nurses

    Crispy Critter replied to TDKH54's topic in General Nursing

    For some reason, a hospital I worked at gave patients and families total access to the kitchen on L&D. After dietary would stock it, you'd better stand out of the way, baby, or you'd get trampled...

  7. THERE IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE in 2010.

    Crispy Critter replied to mmm333's topic in General Nursing

    My 28 year old daughter knows about 7 or 8 people who are either in nursing school or are planning on going. They think they will be able to find a job immediately after graduating. I feel sorry for...

  8. RN Salaries: Hospital vs LTC

    Crispy Critter replied to nursein2012's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LTC facilities in east central Indiana pay quite a bit less than hospitals. I worked briefly at one that started RNs out at $22/hr. They paid 50 cents for 5 or more years experience. This was for...

  9. Really?? A Farmer's Market in the hospital?

    Crispy Critter replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    It just seems like a marketing technique. You know, make the public feel all warm and fuzzy about the 'homey' atmosphere. Anything to increase the public's awareness of the hospital and make it feel...

  10. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    Crispy Critter replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    I've done it. When in working in the float pool, I occasionally filled in when they were short CNA's. Although I was an NA (we were called Nurses Aides in the olden days) before I went to nursing...

  11. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    Crispy Critter replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Morphed, I repeat the question asked of you earlier- are you a nurse? I would say not, judging from your post. I looked at your profile, but there was nothing there. When nurses come here to vent,...

  12. Sleep overs

    Crispy Critter replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At an LTC facility I worked at, a woman was allowed to move a huge recliner into her husband's room. She stayed almost 24/7, only going home to shower sometimes and check on their house. This went on...

  13. So, does anyone work as a medical coder?

    Crispy Critter replied to Cheesecakelady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious about this also. Anyone with any

  14. What Song Describes Your Life? What Song Describes Your Attitude Towards Nursing?

    Crispy Critter replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    After 36 years at the bedside, it's Love Is Gone by David

  15. # of residents in LTC

    Crispy Critter replied to pielęgniarka's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I only have 8 patients,but let me explain the sitch. Our facility is doing a remodel, and have rented an unused department from the hospital below us. As the only RN, I'm placed down there. Sound...
