  1. What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    Aurora77 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Wow, nice use of the ad hominem. I've been a nurse long enough to know that what you state is not common knowledge. Why get so defensive when all I asked is that you cite your sources? It's...

  2. What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    Aurora77 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm not the one making the claim, you are. Therefore, you need to support your argument. If you're a nurse, that will be simple for

  6. GIVING REPORT!!!!!

    Aurora77 replied to friendlylark's topic in Emergency

    If it helps, we floor nurses are driven crazy by those same coworkers during our shift report. Some people want to go on and on about the minutiae. Find a way to politely cut them off. We only need...

  7. Staffing and patient abandonment

    Aurora77 replied to LightMyFire's topic in Nursing Career

    I would stay, but would have no qualms about calling off for the next shift. I would also meet with my director about why the House Supe refused to assist with ensuring adequate staffing. Does your...

  8. What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    Aurora77 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I love my 12 hour shifts. I can't see going back to 8s any time soon. Talk about family

  9. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    Aurora77 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you're ACLS certified, you can. One of the ED docs and the hospitalist show up to codes at my facility, but waiting for them to arrive is no excuse to delay treatment. To the topic at hand, I'm...

    Have her talk to her provider. You know we can't give out medical advice

  13. Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    Aurora77 replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    I hate wearing watches, so I only wear one at work. I can't imagine spending that kind of money on a watch, but I'm not really into jewelry. That's just me. How other people choose to spend their...

    Aurora77 replied to MessyMomma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  15. Not feeling the love.

    Aurora77 replied to texasmum's topic in General Nursing

    No it's not understandable. It's unprofessional behavior. The OP is far better off out of an environment that supports such an incompetent manager. What's the point in giving an appropriate notice...

  16. Nurses 6:1 Patient Care Techs 25:1 in an Acute Care Setting. Is this fair??

    Aurora77 replied to KatieCutieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Want to know why patients are getting bedsores, aren't getting fed, not ambulating like they should? It's not humanly possible for a nurse to have 6 patients and the aide have 25 and expect...

  21. It really annoys me when nurses say they are going to go to med school...

    Aurora77 replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    Why does someone changing their career track mean that nursing is mediocre? There are many of us second career nurses, it doesn't mean our previous career was bad, it may be time for a

  22. calling into work sick and feeling very guilty

    Aurora77 replied to chellemaree88's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen too many "get out of the profession if you like getting paid, won't come in sick" martyr posts (usually by naive nursing students) to have a sense of humor about

  23. Coursera - The Science of Safety in Healthcare

    Aurora77 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I've signed up for a couple of classes. I just completed my RN-BSN, so I actually have a little free time. Thanks for

    Aurora77 replied to chellemaree88's topic in General Nursing

    Where does that state we must go to work sick? Even nuns get sick days, why not

  25. calling into work sick and feeling very guilty

    Aurora77 replied to chellemaree88's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously? If the OP is sick, she's sick. Nurses get sick too. If a facility can't properly prepare for that fact, that's their
