  1. Nurses wearing white

    No, I don't use a water softener. Have never had any problem with whites, either dried in the machine or hung to dry. I do like to dry my uniforms out in the sun, I think more to have the ultraviolet kill any germs.
  2. Quit or be fired?

    Thanks for the recipe! :) Can't wait to try it! :)
  3. nurses "eating" young

    They not only eat the young, they eat the old, and each other.
  4. Nurses wearing white

    i have a well and have no problem keeping my uniforms white.
  5. Birkenstocks turning yellow!

    Did you talk to the manager or the owner of the store, or just one of the little workers on a power trip?
  6. Quit or be fired?

    How can they not "accept any call-ins"? Are they stupid or what? Hello, I'm having an MI, I won't be in this afternoon, .......oh, so sorry, we can't accept any call-ins. Hello, I'm calling in, I will not be in this afternoon, whether you accept i...
  7. Ok, so there's this obese patient...

    I have to agree, there are a lot with bad attitudes out there.
  8. Quit or be fired?

    Bring the kids in with you anyway.
  9. Giving meds in a timely manner

    I work in acute care not LTC. However, I do work with the scanned meds, scanned armband, etc. and that system is way more time consuming than passing meds with a paper MAR, so that certainly isn't the solution.
  10. Challenging Hospital Dress Code

    What about just saying you can't afford it? Maybe some people can't. Just wear what you've been wearing. Do you really think they would fire people over this?
  11. Challenging Hospital Dress Code

  12. Nurse Bully?

    Bring a video camera to work, videotape it and show it to human resources as evidence of a hostile work environment.
  13. When they call you in to work extra shifts...

    I'd call it harassment.
  14. Abandonment in that case is more than likely an idle threat. My BON would consider that to be an employment issue not an abandonment issue. You did not have a patient assignment that you left without transfering over to someone else. I've been thr...
  15. Sometimes one or more of the ports will clot off, and then people use one port for everything because that's all they have.
  16. Families

    This scenario puts the blame on another nurse, what if you are the one that they are unhappy with, what if you are the one that they perceive "did not properly care for their loved one." It happens, even to excellent, experienced nurses. Some famil...
  17. Families

    Is your unit manager aware that the family is angry over the care? If not, she needs to be told so that she can intervene and try to resolve things with the patient and family. Also, it's better that you tell her now about any problem, or perceived...
  18. If you could do it all over again.....

    You can become an ultrasound tech in 2 years at a community college. I don't know about the pay, but work is available in many different settings also, not just in a hospital. I would imagine one would have job security with that as well. An adv...
  19. If you could do it all over again.....

    radiology or ultrasound tech
  20. If you could do it all over again.....

    radiology or ultrasound tech
  21. Is there nursing after 50?

    Malt123, are you able to do agency work?
  22. Is there nursing after 50?

    That is terrible! It's unbelievable that someone would do something so crazy and to their own child. Is that woman in her right mind? Too bad you couldn't get compensation from her for the damage she has done to you. God bless you!
  23. missing narc page

    What was it that you signed?
  24. Save a Life, Lose your License

    I can't see myself doing it. (Having a license wouldn't influence it one way or the other).
  25. Would you seriously consider quitting nursing

    I'm sorry that happened to you. You said he knew what he was doing, I hope you pressed charges, if not, I hope you do now.
