    sweetsounds replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    Let your superior(s) know that you are documenting it too. What she is doing is called horizontal violence. But please watch that you do not let a bad experience with one person have a bad effect on...

    sweetsounds replied to jer053171's topic in General Students

    You know, I usually say that I'd rather clean poop. But this requires some qualifying. I am a veteran of those backrub days, even prior to my RN. I actually tell people that I don't mind at all to do...

  5. Is it time to get rid of 12 hour shifts?

    sweetsounds replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    I think we should have the option of doing 12's or 8's or even others, like job sharing. 12's are extremely long if you work nights; foget the extra days off- you will be one of the undead on your...

  10. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    sweetsounds replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    I do suggest Coral Springs Medical Center. Worked there, been a patient there. It is a not-for-profit which is waaayyyy better than a large corporation hospital. It all depends what you think you want...

  11. Rules for the ER (long)

    sweetsounds replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    I swear I saw pregnancy tests in the dollar store one time. What I wouldn't have given for a truckload! You know if EMS would carry them I bet a lot of very ill/vomiting-type(female) patients would...

    sweetsounds replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in General Nursing
