Yet you instantly assumed that the OP falls into the category to which you refer? Hmph!

Although very lengthy (24 page pdf), was worth the read. It is a terrible shame what some health care providers endure on a regular basis. Even when they DO call it to the attention of supervisors, the supervisors themselves can also be abusive (Men...

Suzanne4, Did you read the name of the OP? I think they are aware of what they're in for. lol

Welcome aboard and good luck with your chosen educational course and career! Lori

As a home health "shift" worker, I usually pick up 3 or 4 shifts per month. There's always a hole in the schedule somewhere to fill in. Depending on the case, I will volunteer. Otherwise, I may or may not answer the phone.

What an incredible story. You must feel blessed to have known such a person. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks again for baring your heart and sharing your talent. Lori

holding my gut laughing...........:roll No, not just about the robot performing a disimpaction:eek: , but about your signature line........ Frodo failed! Bush has the ring! hahahaha crack me up can picture him up on top of the towers with a magic...

Well, could this be the reason that people tend to gain weight when ending an addiction of varying kinds? Etoh, cigs, etc? It's a substitute addiction. Lisa, hon.......you can do it! Just had my 1 year anniversary of quitting cigs. Of course it's n...

Fran, What an absolutely beatiful, heartfelt poem. Does it have a title? And with your permission may I share it with others? Thank you for posting it for all of us to see. Lori

Chaching chaching Woo Hoo! I'm ready to go back RIGHT NOW! Where do I sign?

I was once @ a relative's b/d party when my very quiet, timid, always pleasant grandmother asked me a question about her thyroid medication. When I told her I didn't know the answer and that she should call her Dr.'s office......she totally embarrass...

Yep, whenever I am preceptor for new nurses on ANY case, I always tell them : Always behave as though your every move is being watched. Being good nurses that we are, we you shouldn't have to worry about someone "logging" every move we make, however,...

Hello nervousnurse, This is the field I work in. Have been doing this for 5 years. I work mainly days (my preference) but I pick up a night shift almost every weekend esp. when hours are short during the week. You are right on the money about what t...

Said the ghost of Christmas future.........okay MY future at least. lol

"Woo Hoo!" jumping up and down in excitement Congratulations Ceci!! I am so happy for you. Good luck with your new job. Lori

In an article by The Associated Press printed in our local newspaper this month, it talked of hospitals along the east coast which allow their staff nurses to bid on work shifts over the Internet (their own hospital website) and pick their own hours ...

I have the Master Classic II and it works well. I recommend shopping around. Some catalogs and/or stores can charge a lot more than others. Basic ones can run you around $70 +/- . Top of the line run in the hundreds.

CeCiRN, I know this thread was started about credit checks.......however, it sounds as though you could use a bit of emotional support as well. This must be a very frustrating and stressful time for you. ((((CeCi)))) I do hope you keep up the stren...

So who wants to start a "things I learned from my patients" thread here on THIS forum? Or do we already have one that I just haven't found yet?

So eloquently put! and I would have to agree. However, I also agree that it IS important for the patients to easily differentiate between nurse and housekeeping/dietary/therapist/etc......

I believe it's the filing of frivolous lawsuits these days in the United States that is the real disability. Of the MENTAL variety. Just MHO.

Just wondering.......does anyone know where we might find legal info on this topic per state?

Hey, what can I say, I quit smoking almost a year ago. I don't expect a pat on the back and don't congratulate me. It's not the first, or second, or even the 3rd time. But hopefully the last! Point is.....nurses are HUMANS. And even though we PROMOTE...
