That's exactly what's going on. It's all about money and making so-and-so "look good". Nurses are not considered as any kind of asset....no matter what a particular organization might say. They have to employ us, and (gasp!) pay us. We aren't the Dr....

As I've said before in similar threads.....if you went into nursing soley to "help mankind and be all-compassionate"....join a holy order. Leave the rest of us with a living to make alone.

Sounds like Professor Umbridge from the Harry Potter books!!! "The Minister will want to take immediate action"!

Well, I'm sure they do like to get married!!!

However long it takes me to get ahold of my lifeline...

Was it an African swallow or a European swallow?

Because they're annoying...

I'm not a "mainstream" conservative, but I believe in disagreeing without being disagreeable. There are some issues I'm more liberal on, and others I take a more conservative stance. It depends. Form your own opinions without listening to all the tal...

I work 3 days a week, and it never fails that one of those evenings is going to be bad. I like to get the bad day out of the way first. It hasn't worked out that way yet this week.....I had a good night the other night so it'll either be tonight or F...

Nope. However, the facility management always ensure that the Doctors who have patients at our facility get fruit baskets....I think it's just to keep the referals coming!! The facility management do not care about us "peons" and have made it very pl...

Aaah....since there is a glut of nurses, both LPN and RN in my area, it is difficult for all of us to get jobs or find different jobs. A lot of nurses I've known to land hospital positions have friends in "high places" so to speak. I guess networking...

I think not. It was very wrong of her to being getting into Grandma's meds, but no 5th grader I know of knows what Fentanyl is or that there are meds that could be harmful that don't necessarily come in a pill form. It was most likely a "curiousity" ...

I wish we had a union or at least some way to negotiate with administration without fear of being retaliated against. I wonder if it's the same all over....administration does whatever the heck they want with us.

What does it matter anyway? As long as she's not a danger to herself or others, I'm sure she'll be fine.

I don't think so. Citations mean fines, but I will say I like the team of surveyors that come to our facility better than our management!

I'm a nurse and I've got anger issues....plus I'm a management malcontent!! Nurses are people too....not saint-like, celestial beings.

I was thinking the same thing....why is it that there are some RN's who think that LPN's are jealous of them? I'm an LPN and enrolled in a LPN to RN program, and I didn't do it to be "in charge". I simply want more opportunities and better pay, down ...

With all due respect....I wouldn't be a nurse if it didn't pay well. I'm "there for the paycheck" and I do my job very well. Have you got bills to pay?

You speak of being loyal to them, but it doesn't sound like they are loyal to you. I say toss 'em out with the trash!!

Marley was as dead as a doornail. This must be distinctly understood; or nothing wonderful will come of the story I am about to relate...

An a** is an a** no matter what's between his/her legs.

As the other posters have stated....focus on your own work. You'll run across many types like her throughout the course of your career. If she's pretty ****ty...she'll hang herself. I have some co-workers that absolutely drive me nuts. I have one who...

Some in management not only want you to kiss the patient's/customer's butt, but require you to make love to it!!*wine

A couple of years ago, a few residents as well as myself, and two CNA's were standing by the med cart enjoying a conversation about some of the advertisements that came with the Sunday paper. One of the residents was pointing to a strapless and sexy ...

This type of behavior amongst management is commonplace at my facility unless you are one of the "club". They don't mess with me too much because I do my work and I have always been able to come up with sufficient proof to refute anything they've tri...
