1. How long does it take you to complete an order????

   Disco_Superfly replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

   Yes exactly. To be fair, it is not only the opposing shift that engages in 'it's not my responsibility' behaviour, it is also some on my own shift. I think many forget that there are 24 hours in a...

2. Would you work less hours (less $$) for a better shift?

   Disco_Superfly replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

   I've worked nights alot of years, but I want to switch to days. Here's the deal: It won't be on the floor. The next change I make will be for better hours during the day.. No weekends or holidays....

   Disco_Superfly replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

   Very true.. These things, though minor as they may seem, are time-consuming to the nurse and take him/her away from their pt care duties. Alot of things can happen in a day. Orders are occasionally...

   I will continue to carry my cell phone wherever I and whenever I choose until someone ruins it for everyone else. Not for my amusement or entertainment, but based upon general principle: My family...

   Disco_Superfly replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

   Oh I could go for days on this subject.. But I won't. I have to say, however, that many times I am left with chores to do from day shift. I don't mind.. AS LONG AS.. when I am strapped for time,...

7. What Is The Least Stressful Nursing Specialty?

   Disco_Superfly replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not familiar with any hospitals that only have pp areas... in many small hospitals that require you to be able to work L and D, Post Partum and Nursery and you go where you're needed. In our...

9. Split Assignment?

   Disco_Superfly replied to chellelynn25's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   Sad, sad, sad. This should never happen but it does. I personally would get out as fast as I could. Eventually there will be no one that will work for them and they will have no choice but to...

    Disco_Superfly replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    VERY good point.. No we don't have any particular assigned 'chores' at night, but it's not a bad idea. Many nights are quiet between the hours of 2 and 5. I am fond of finding things that need to...

    Disco_Superfly replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh your story makes me think of something of my childhood. I loved dolls. Had a huge collection. There were no african americans in our hometown. I had a black baby doll. There were never any...

12. So sick of this attitude....

    Disco_Superfly replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never cared what a physician's nationality was, but I have been bothered by their ability/inability to communicate. Seriously, when a dr gets angry with me because I ask him to repeat himself due...

13. New Grad SNF work... I am just exhausted and shocked

    Disco_Superfly replied to Bre14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can give this little tidbit of advice when it comes to managing an overwhelming workload: I always refer back to the director of our nursing program and how she pounded the 'human needs model of...

15. texting at work

    Disco_Superfly replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It should be a matter of simple common sense and consideration for others. I personally think it's rude when I am at an establishment and the staff are texting at the desk or holding personal...
