   suger56 replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

   If a patient wants a female then I try to comply. What is frustrating is when they complin that something is not done timely because I had to go get a female and she may have had other things to do before she can help me. Then the male doctor comes i...

2. I hate nursing

   suger56 replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

   Finish in case you want to do something with it. There is so much you can do and you may find the right thing. If you want to stay home, that is great, too! There is nothing wrong with that. Your loyalty should be to your family before anything and i...

3. Just got off the witness stand

   suger56 replied to suger56's topic in General Nursing

   My first contact was oin 2004. Mistrials, adjournments and other legal mumbo-jumbo delayed it! The plantif's lawyer speant over $30,000 on expert witnesses and I know he won't get it back from her. She was on record as saying she was waiting for her ...

   suger56 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Maybe your unions actually represented nurses. We are represented by the same union that fixes the phone lines. How the 2 are related is beyond me. Everyone knows exactly how much they will make for the next 3 years and it does not matter how good yo...

   suger56 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

   Its nice to see that quality actually gets rewarded in your facility. I would guess there is not a union there! In our union shop, the nurse who reported you would be protected and you would have a letter in your file!

10. OB Rotation is Hell

    suger56 replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Students

    You need to do what I did. My first rotation in OB was the birth of my second son. I was a rock star during the rotation! Everyone knew me, treated me great and gave me enough diapers for a year! The rest of the rotation was fantastic and I got to se...
