  1. How many 40+ nurses still working Med/Surg?

    cannoli replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    If I haven't worked for awhile, a few months, and then go in and work, I get so sore I can hardly move. It's mainly around my butt, hips and pelvic area. It's from all the walking, rather running,...

  2. Abandonment?

    cannoli replied to msnurse's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, that would not be considered abandonment, it would be considered an employment issue. Of course, I suppose they could report it to the BON, just to be vindictive, but since they don't...

  3. Abandonment?

    cannoli replied to msnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's funny, threatening abandonment for handing in a resignation, on your day off or any other day. What an idiot, but that sounds

  4. Abandonment?

    cannoli replied to msnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Each state (BON) may define abandonment differently. I know a nurse manager that would threaten to report a nurse for abandonment for that but according to my state it is not, she did not receive...

  5. Medication question

    cannoli replied to wiseRN's topic in Pediatric

    Okay, so where is the person that posted this question and what is the correct answer? Probably it was a question on a test and the original poster didn't know the answer (and probably still...

  6. Not happy with med/surg...

    cannoli replied to RNNC2003's topic in General Nursing

    After your six months are up, try for mother/baby if that's what you want. Some of the patients might be a little bit younger on a general surgery floor as opposed to a medical floor. If your place...

  9. How many use needle system IV's still?

    cannoli replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    That is very dangerous. I was stuck once by an 18 gauge needle left on a piggyback, back when we still used needles, as the previous person had put the cover back on the needle but the needle had...

  10. How many use needle system IV's still?

    cannoli replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    I agree you should report them. Wasn't it a nurse that got AIDS from a needle stick who was instrumental in getting the needleless system implemented to protect the rest of

  12. all the latest tricks to keep nurses.

    cannoli replied to alansmith52's topic in General Nursing

    I, for one, don't want to go back to school to get an MBA, and I don't see that or a clinical ladder (I work in a hospital that has one) as a solution to the problem. Bring on the National Nursing...

  13. But I have little kids!

    cannoli replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

  15. But I have little kids!

    cannoli replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    uk_nurse, I've been doing this for over thirty years and no one has been covering for me. I have worked more than my fair share of weekends and holidays. I have also experienced working so that...

  17. But I have little kids!

    cannoli replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    That has always irritated me also. Just because you don't have kids doesn't mean you don't have a life. It's not just holidays, some people expect to be accommodated for other things as well,...

  18. Just had an emotional breakdown at work.

    cannoli replied to unikuelady's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing to be ashamed about. People that have been nurses for decades have been known to cry when overwhelmed and it has happened more than once to the same person. Crying is a stress

    Hang in there. We all support you. All these posts just underscore how horrible, unrealistic, and overwhelming the working conditions and assignments are. WHEN will something be done about it!!!!...
