    "I'm A Good Nurse" Syndrome

    eriksoln replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, you stole my thunder. I was going to say I notice the same trend with driving. Guess you can say both could be viewed/judged the same way: The crashes/recks. I believe the person who does not...

    Is nursing "care" a thing of the past?

    eriksoln replied to AnneBlunnRN's topic in General Nursing

    should I confess? 12-month full time then part-time for the rest

    eriksoln replied to nursing.mypassion's topic in General Nursing

    I look at it this way, they (admin., managers) change the rules after a few months with no notice what-so-ever so, tit for tat. People everywhere getting their retirement changed, PTO changed, ratios...

    Why do nurses feel the need to put RN on their license plates?

    eriksoln replied to 3dayRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hate is a strong word, I'm just not a fan. In her time, FN advanced nursing and had some theories that people, outside of nursing, don't completely understand still today. Her assertion that nurses...

    Why do nurses feel the need to put RN on their license plates?

    eriksoln replied to 3dayRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ditto what Commuter said. There is a PT person at my apt. complex who advertises it on her plate. I always find it hilarious, considering that she is a tech. (transporter) not actually a physical...

    eriksoln replied to dblpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hmmmm. I hadn't even noticed OP was an LPN. Do you really think it was that though? That the DON resents that she handled it right? I don't know how, with the LPN handling it right, it makes the...

    Reprimanded for giving glucagon?!!!

    eriksoln replied to dblpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One of the hardest things to learn/master in nursing is: Knowing when to listen to admin./management and when to pretend you are listening. I'd have explained myself, and if the DON didn't get it at...

    eriksoln replied to Pigeons's topic in General Nursing
