  1. patients smoking

    cannoli replied to spitfire's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I bet the patient with COPD was angry, "dying and all"; the poster also said he needed a lot of nursing time too after going out to smoke, nursing time that was taken away from other patients who...

  2. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    cannoli replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    Racism or not, I wouldn't know. I do know that the one floor I refuse to work on has a BYTCH for a charge nurse, she happens to be Filipina, and she is the reason I refuse to work

    cannoli replied to katie345's topic in General Nursing

    If they stare at you just smile back. If they are bothered by the wrinkles on your face that is their problem not yours. Just learn to ignore any stares and not let it bother

  11. Nurses in Other Professions

    cannoli replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    Agency works for me, just a very few hours. If you go to the same places you know about as much as how things are done as the staff does and have very little of the politics. I would love to do...

  12. Nurses in Other Professions

    cannoli replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    Check out post #58 & #59. I was just replying in reference to post #58, I was NOT saying that L&D is not stressful, I got the impression that that poster was and I can't imagine how Walmart...

  16. Nurses in Other Professions

    cannoli replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    Well, L&D may not be stressful, but MedSurg certainly is. I'm thinking that after nursing Wal-mart would be a piece of cake. Like patients and their demanding families don't want you to drop...

  18. I Don't Think So!

    cannoli replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    No call no show may be grounds for termination, but it is not grounds for losing your license, at least not in my state and I doubt if it is in Nebraska, though a facility may tell you that it is. No...

  21. Bully! Help! I need to write a rebuttal!

    cannoli replied to Bitten's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt that you'll find any nursing unions in a right to work state. What's up with giving a Restoril without an order? How can they condone that? Sounds like a pretty sloppy, lax place to work and...

  22. Emphasis on caring or personal gain?

    cannoli replied to oregonvolunteer's topic in General Nursing

    Don't taxes pay for the schools in your state? They do in mine. Yes, you are unionized. In most states nurses are not, they are at will employees. Having a union behind the profession makes a big...

  23. Emphasis on caring or personal gain?

    cannoli replied to oregonvolunteer's topic in General Nursing

    When I started reading this post I thought maybe troll or manipulative administrator type. I think it is interesting that nothing is being discussed except money, money versus caring. If you really...

  24. Bully! Help! I need to write a rebuttal!

    cannoli replied to Bitten's topic in General Nursing
