  1. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    Guest343211 replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You know, I am shocked that people have stuck their heads in the sand about the current economic situation. What? They think it doesn't touch hospitals? LOLOLOL. Sigh. . . There are a number of...

  2. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    Guest343211 replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Esmee, that is already happening. The answer is simple. You increase standards for entry into the nursing programs. Most schools do this when there is a waiting list and seats are limited. Now if...

    Guest343211 replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I mean, really, this is absolutely true. There's really no way to dance around this reality. It's a serious

    OMG, that' is UGH! LOLOLOLOLOL:roflmao: How about dog hair. I know where I can get a lot of

  6. Angry Nurse here!

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry, especially since you are pregnant, and let me tell you. I went a few times without eating during one pregnancy, and I never did it again. I went into work. I nearly fainted. Next thing...

  7. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    Guest343211 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Look, at this point, I'd really value more logical, systematic thinking apart from emotional-reactionary thinking. Also will add thatthe serious study of higher level mathematics helps with "critical...

  8. Giving up

    Guest343211 replied to MommyandRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I hate to admit it, but there is a lot of truth in all of that^. Thing is, I still think they could use more nurses, but they will just make nurses work with less staff or suboptimal staff b/c of the...

  9. Giving up

    Guest343211 replied to MommyandRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I totally disagree with this generalization. I truly believe it's just rationalization to meet the goal of having BSN staff, and at the same time, hiring those that are lower on the pay scale (new...

  10. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, if she doesn't get a meeting going, in the appropriate manner, then you and your colleagues may be forced to follow the chain of command. It's on her plate, and she is obligated to deal with...

  11. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Again, that's inappropriate and you have to get the proper people involved, such as the supervisor, etc. Also, make it clear that you will not interact with them, short of an emergency, if they take...

  12. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No doubt. Just have to respectfully and kindly but firmly stand your ground and keep doing what is the priority. That's how nursing functions. Sounds like there needs to be a family meeting with...

  14. People think I am stupid

    Guest343211 replied to nikkole318's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hear what you are saying, and I have seen nurses do this, and also I have done this. In the places and units I am referring to, it is very easy for assignments to get changed--preceptor situation...

    Guest343211 replied to nikkole318's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are actually several ways to run antibiotics, depending upon what the actual antibiotic is. I have run them via piggy-backs. I have given them in solu-sets.I have given them in ports, adapters,...

  16. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I never received drinks, sandwiches, trays, or the like. What's more, I never asked for anything. The only thing I have did was be close to some very ill loved ones at crucial times during their...

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks Susie. Yes, I did try to make allowances and strove to be a proponent of not throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Thanks

  18. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Basically, yes, dudetee10. I would agree with that.

  19. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No one in this thread ever stated that it's about allowing families to "do whatever they want." If anything, appropriate limit-setting, use of sound judgment, and balanced support of administration...

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ??? You brought up the straw man in your previous response, not I. Honest discussion would work on keeping comparisons similar. I have no boxing gloves. Strong responses are not boxing gloves....

  21. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A. You have engaged me before in an attempt to argue with me. You fail to see that I have no interest in win-lose approaches to discussion. My philosophy is one of balance and problem-solving,...

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear ya, but I have done both, and I have used the same principles with both adults and peds. At the end of the day, people are people, and loved ones are loved ones. When they are sick enough,...

  23. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Understood. The replies seemed to be moving in a southern sort of direction, lol. So regardless of cigars (never knew there were so many until recently), there is no need to throw the baby out with...

  24. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most excellent nurses and doctors as well as I could care less about P-G as the "end all, be all." It's a tool, but like most tools, there are times when you have to use other tools or know how to...

  25. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No. FCC/PCC is a right, and it well should be. Your administration and management needs to deal with faulty policy, system, application, and problemsolving. Appropriate limit-setting is essential....
