    leosasha replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

  3. Nursing is a terrible job!

    leosasha replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with speaking to a labor lawyer. It may not only assist you in dealing with your present situation it may well prevent this same type of abuse toward another nurse. Yes, I agree that the...

    leosasha replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    htrn is absolutely correct. If anything is said don't come across as if defending yourself. Present the facts as you see them. It does'nt necessarily mean you won't shoulder any blame but at least...

    leosasha replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of days ago I was admitting a patient and the Dr called to give orders. He also informed me that he wanted to cover all the bases with this patient because if I called him later he would not...

  6. This Is Not Right!

    leosasha replied to Nursebarebari's topic in General Nursing

    Will avoid the paticulars of the rights and wrongs of this situation. It is more a matter or prudence in my mind. She is doing a very poor job of preparing for boards and her, "friends". are doing...

    leosasha replied to SummitProduction's topic in General Nursing

  11. Union

    leosasha replied to momx4's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Unions have been a fact of life in California for many years. They have mandated staffing ratios. The nurses there are very cohesive. My massage therapist is also a nursing student and considering...

  12. Union

    leosasha replied to momx4's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I don'nt believe either should be surpassive. A balance should be obtained. You have no group in structure without thinking collectively as the whole. We are giving up our autonomy to everyone else...

  14. What is the most serious problem facing the bedside nurse today?

    leosasha replied to leosasha's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I will share what I have come up with. Attitude is an expression of it. I believe the simgle most important issue facing the bedside nurse is morale. It is understandably quite low. The next...

  17. depressed

    leosasha replied to phoebebrat's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you are your own worst enemy. Also sounds like you could use some study on interpersonal communication skills. It's a tool like any other. Med/Surg is a tough business. Very stressful....

  18. why are Non Profit hospitals abandoning cities?

    leosasha replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

  23. Is it like this in your facility?

    leosasha replied to lexibear99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    leosasha replied to Little Flower's topic in General Nursing

    A girlfriend bought me the novel and the VHS tape last year because I have worked Psych for years and had never seen it. I agree that the book was better although the acting in the movie was...
