  1. Vent: feeling pretty low

    cannoli replied to Darchild77's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's asinine to write something like that up. In this overwhelming environment of nursing today what do they expect? No one is perfect, remember that, I'm sure those family members aren't...

  2. Say no to AMS

    cannoli replied to Run27's topic in Agency Nurses

  5. Final Warning

    cannoli replied to nrsjo's topic in General Nursing

    A "final warning" sounds like there has been something before that. Were you given warnings before about the same thing or a warning about something else? Is this a third warning and you are out...

  6. Final Warning

    cannoli replied to nrsjo's topic in General Nursing

    You may have a point with that yankee thing in the south. Hope everything works out. I would be looking for another job as well. Good

  7. Why Bother?

    cannoli replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, unless you are in the clique and they can do no wrong, while you can do no right, or at least not much and you can't get any credit for

  8. How do you get patients to give you a "very good?"

    cannoli replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    I don't know but I've been on the patient end filling out those things, and I haven't always given a very good or excellent either. It seems to me that some nurses give out the excellent way too...

  12. Why agency pay more?

    cannoli replied to Oreo's topic in Agency Nurses

    Where I was living 25 years ago, a nurse had to have acute care experience to work for an agency. What kind of hospital would have an agency nurse work, particularly in a specialty area, who didn't...

  13. Why agency pay more?

    cannoli replied to Oreo's topic in Agency Nurses

    Just curious, how were you able to work for an agency as a G.N.? Most agencies (even 25 years ago) require at least one year of acute care experience, and how were you able to work in only specialty...

  14. Where do you want your nurse, in the event of a cardiac emergency?

  16. evil bank lady

    cannoli replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    Hope you feel better! There will probably be plenty of work next week. A little threat or intimidation there to try to get you to work anyway? I try to use my caller ID and answering machine to...

  17. confrontation in the workplace

    cannoli replied to fluffybear's topic in General Nursing

    cannoli replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

    And they wonder why nurses are leaving in

  19. NY following CA to ban lindane

    cannoli replied to LucyGoosey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That is a tragic story, and maybe I misread, but why would anyone treat for lice if lice weren't even present. A child died due to being shampooed with kerosene a short while

  20. covering an npo pt

    cannoli replied to milicarr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    cannoli replied to StudentRN@NIC's topic in General Nursing

  22. Who's wearing white?

    cannoli replied to RNBN2B's topic in General Nursing

    The requirement is for me to wear white and I have no problem with it, though I dislike and don't wear dresses. I do know and work with nurses who wear white dresses. Wear what you like and feel...

  23. You Know It Is Time To Leave Nursing When....

    cannoli replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    cannoli replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still trying to figure out the answer to that question. If I had something else that I could do I would be doing it. If you find an answer let me
