  2. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    sassyrn333 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I see a lot of “Florence Nightingale” wannabes on here...trying to be self righteous. Judgemental AF. I think there are many details left out of this story (like duration of time the doses were...

  3. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    sassyrn333 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    ...it was also never specified what duration of time those doses were administered in. Was that a single dose? Was that over 12 hours??? 24???

  4. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    sassyrn333 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Don’t fall for it nurses. That’s what I hate about this profession. Nurses LOVE jumping on the bandwagon of drama and vilifying other nurses rather than digging deeper for facts. Hospitals are...

    sassyrn333 replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    Thats a topic for a whole other post: "nurses and alcoholism." I think it's more common than we care to admit. Thank you for sharing, and congratulations on your

  6. The evolution of a Nurse

    sassyrn333 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm rarely on this site anymore (for numerous reasons) BUT...I just read all my old posts dating back 8 years to the time when I was a new grad. I just strolled memory lane in a big way. Anyone else...

  8. The evolution of a Nurse

    sassyrn333 replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't even thought of it from the perspective of defining life events (not just career events). That's also interesting. Thanks for

  9. The evolution of a Nurse

    sassyrn333 replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    YES GIRL! A job is a job. Hospitals are hospitals. I've worked in 3 different hospitals in the metro...they are all the same...and colluding together to keep our pay down. But that's another story...

  11. The evolution of a Nurse

    sassyrn333 replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    Right? I don't debate people on many things in life anymore. I do like to listen and get a feeling for general trends regionally or within the profession in general, but I don't argue with someone who...

  12. Social Class and Nursing

  15. Nurses smoking weed?

    sassyrn333 replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it should be illegal, and I don't think it should be a drug that nurses are tested for. As far as I'm aware there is not a test that confirms ACUTE intoxication. It just tells them that...

  16. Nursing is a passion?

    sassyrn333 replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the better question is: Are you passionate about nursing enough to work within the American Model of Medicine? IE: Illness care for preventable disease; profit based health care; big pharma?...

  17. Judgement Free Zone Please

    sassyrn333 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    I wouldn't say that I hate my job, I have just reached a point where I don't find it exciting anymore. I see no reason to go back to school to be a manager or educator-those 5 day/wk gigs (dealing...

  18. Judgement Free Zone Please

    sassyrn333 replied to sassyrn333's topic in MICU, SICU

    vera4130 I totally agree! The 'yes' people are the ones who create a culture lacking healthy boundaries. But I think that hospitals depend on those people, sadly. Healthy boundaries effect the...

    sassyrn333 replied to sassyrn333's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thanks for your comments guys. I just recently started splitting my time between ICU, Cath/EP lab, and Education. I think I found the Holy Grail of burnout avoidance...for now

  21. Burnout rate-experienced nurses reply

    sassyrn333 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    (I realize this is highly individual/multifactorial) Is this predictable? Can you say that after *fill in blank* years ICU nurses start to show signs of

  22. "Taking A Mental Health Day"

    sassyrn333 replied to slmnewrn07's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I take a mental health day every couple months. I work hard, and I earn that time. I don't feel guilty at all. I look at it like this: 1) I am not so special that the whole show is going to stop...

  23. Largest Nurses Strike in US History - Replacement Nurses Arrive - Your opinion

    sassyrn333 replied to girlvet's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I think this is an example of how little the non-medical public knows about what it is that nurses actually do. A lot has changed since the old white cap/uniform days. We are expected to know much...

  24. The Dichotomy That is Nursing

    sassyrn333 posted a topic in General Nursing
