    Lucky0220 replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I recently moved to south Texas. We have a very large Latino population. The nurses call our patients Mama and Papa and they love it. Also, most of the CNA's and even our housekeeping staff call me...

  6. Is this bizarre?

    Lucky0220 replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds so counter-productive. If the manager fires him, then they will be even more understaffed. Real smart

  7. To my preceptor, future students beware (rant)

    Lucky0220 replied to leekun2010's topic in General Nursing

  11. Who does the doctors answer to??

    Lucky0220 replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    While this may be changing, can you honestly say this is the norm and not the exception? You say an employee can sue the hospital for making the environment unfriendly. Now really, this is hardly...

  12. how to report a teacher to the BRN?

    Lucky0220 replied to scibruin's topic in General Students

    Why can't a simple rule be followed? Can a person nowadays not live without their phone for a few hours? It's not like there aren't land lines around if you use the excuse "that I have to check on...

    Lucky0220 replied to ohioRN09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For the most part, I agree with those who say that if you stand up to these rude doctors, they will leave you alone. But, we have a doctor at our hospital who loves to argue, as well as being rude....
