THAT Nurse. replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing
The nurses on my Med-Surge floor generally have 4 on days, and 5 or 6 on nights. Days has a free float RN, plus more CNAs, but they have to do baths and
lindarn, We just recently had that issue here in TN. Nursing homes wanted to be able to train CNAs to administer meds. While it was stopped, LPNs were granted the ability to push meds, including...
I am in a BSN program, and in the last year they changes the grading criteria. It went from a 75 to get a C to a 78 to get a C. Fail two courses and you get the boot remained the same. One of the...
I wish what you said was true. When I started nursing school, a 75 was a C. They did in fact change it on us mid-program. We were not amused. She does what she does, and nobody has made her stop....
In the truest sense supply (of nurses) and demand (for same) would cause the pay rates to have to find a balance, in our favor. But that assumes no other changes. Example: Hospital executives look for...
2009, She found a way around it, and nobody is stopping her. She is not hiding it, and between tenure, and the fact she has been there for a while, she gets to do what she wants. Since she is fair,...

I hear a lot about this issue, on here, at school, but never in practice. I know the hospital I work in does not require it (and goes to lengths to avoid OT). None of the other local facilities...
Wow. yah, that MD? Would not have a job around here. (Tennessee). Our female nurses can be gruff, and they can be hard, but they are often very very pleasant. And they still get the job done. Maybe it...
RN4, Some of my classroom instructors have actually shown those to us. While I enjoyed politics and have been active (it is Nov 4th, and I voted two weeks ago) they did a very good job of relating the...
What specifically have you seen female RNs do that is so bad? Aside from sadly questionable hand hygiene all around (even I am guilty at times), I haven't seen anything widespread that makes me cringe...
This thread got me to register. As a nursing student who firmly believes nurses are underpaid and probably given the shaft routinely (and in my Research course preparing a proposal on whether nurse...
