  1. Staff Meetings

    PedsNurse1981 replied to MayBaby's topic in General Nursing

    I think nurses should ALWAYS get paid to go to staff meetings. We're paid for them where I work, if we weren't it's doubtful I'd attend any of them. To me, this is my job, I come here 3 days a week,...

    PedsNurse1981 replied to CarllS's topic in General Nursing

  10. the term "animal nurse"

    PedsNurse1981 replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

    What a bunch of ignorant people! I'm talking about the comments I read on that link, not about you guys (just thought I'd clarify). It bothers me when people judge others with limited knowledge of the...

    PedsNurse1981 replied to cdmguy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I couldn't have said it any better. No need to join in on a petition when it groups everyone into one category as bad. It's craziness. My chiropractors are

  12. Sink or Swim/Eat Their Own

    PedsNurse1981 replied to organic_matter's topic in General Nursing

    Why do some nurses have to be so darn mean??? Granted, I've only been out of school for a little over a year and a half so I haven't seen much, but I've seen enough to know some of my coworkers are...

    PedsNurse1981 replied to PedsNurse1981's topic in General Nursing

  17. worried!!!

    PedsNurse1981 replied to RS0302's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still nervous when I have to start IV's, so it's perfectly ok. The more you do, the better it gets. Don't let that stop you. You can overcome any obstacle with a little

  18. How many really use STERILE technique?

    PedsNurse1981 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    On my floor, the kids have a lot of central lines, and since they're already immunocompromised, we ALWAYS use sterile technique. We're quite obsessed about it

    PedsNurse1981 replied to PedsNurse1981's topic in Ob/Gyn

    PedsNurse1981 replied to erilynn17's topic in General Nursing

  23. Arghhh, my aching legs & feet!

    PedsNurse1981 replied to KimRN03's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I tried a pair of Dansko's, they've done wonders for me. However, the pair I have have a very hard bottom, so they've made my feet very calloused which causes problems if I don't work to keep the...

  24. Would you assist in abortions?

    PedsNurse1981 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Working in an abortion clinic or assisting with abortions isn't even an option for me. I am very much against abortion. I feel that women should be educated about birth control and realize that the...
