  1. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    leosasha replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

  3. Good Old HIPAA Violation!

    leosasha replied to shodobe's topic in General Nursing

    Odds are, the consequenses meted out were to send a message to all. Too bad it was your name attached to it. And yes, I think an inservice prior to the event was in order. There is an atmosphere of...

  7. Bad Managers

    leosasha replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    My experience with managers is that they are the last to know what is really going on. Many don't want to be told anything that they don't want to hear. They're just riding that wave called...

    leosasha replied to mitcornsus's topic in General Nursing

    St Louis area is still hiring. Of course the transition to the "bible belt" might be a shock as well as the weather. Humid in the summer and you never know what in the winter. For a future resume...

  11. Apologizing when paging physicians

    leosasha replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    I have observed this phenomina Think it's just part of the culture. I can't imagine why I would apologize for or ask another to accept an apology for simply doing our job. We could probably do away...

  12. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    leosasha replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

  16. 1st agency shift, horrible

    leosasha replied to zacarias's topic in Agency Nurses

    I agree. There are some places that no one wants to go. Management is most definitely a full fleddged, active member of what I term the "Mushroom Club). No sense talking to them. Don't throw in...

  17. 1st agency shift, horrible

    leosasha replied to zacarias's topic in Agency Nurses

  19. How can I show my NM that I really appreciate her?

    leosasha replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely a note to her boss. Maybe a small plaque from Hallmark to sit on her desk. I'm so glad your first experience with a nurse manager was so positive. Mine was too. Have had a number since...

    leosasha replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

  22. Nurses Are The Worst Family Members!

    leosasha replied to ladynischeraRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My experience in Geriatric Psychiatry has made me very leery of Ativan. In fact, I am finding it used very sparingly. Haldol is an option but am seeing that Zyprexia delivers a better result....
