  1. What's the weirdest thing management has said to you?

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

    Weirdest thing? "Wow. Nurses need more respect and support. I go to seek it for them from on high." LOL Well, did you mean

  2. The math doesn't add up

    Guest343211 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Just b/c someone is a client doesn't take away the essential role/position of patient anymore than when someone pays for their education, they are no longer students. One real motivation...

  3. The math doesn't add up

    Guest343211 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    If that doesn't get someone hopped up to go into L&D, I don't know what

  4. Do you like your long commute?

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Wow. . . not too shabby. . .at all. Six days off in a row every two is nice plus the 10days, etc. Really, that's not a bad gig. 43 acres. . . darn. You have to get help with keeping that up....

  5. Do you like your long commute?

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Wow, Holy cow. I was gonna say. Been thinking about this for a job; but I have some responsibilities that have taken priority right now. So, b/c I am now looking at a situation similar to yours, I...

  7. The math doesn't add up

    Guest343211 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    What the? Beg report? So by calling them and bugging them when they are busy, you are going to make them any less busy, so that they can give you report when they aren't ready? I've got to know...

  8. The math doesn't add up

    Guest343211 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Wow, that's just. . .eeewww, as in yuck. . . as in tacky, tacky, tacky. .

  9. The math doesn't add up

    Guest343211 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    People want their nurses to be competent, caring, and really on the ball. They want them to be genuine. It's the personal one-on-one that matters most--when it is needed most. The TY card approach...

  10. Do you cut corners in your daily nursing practice?

    Guest343211 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    To answer the question though, where direct writing is still required, in trying to get everything done, or as the shift gets later and later, my handwriting goes more and more down the toilet. Yes I...

  11. Do you cut corners in your daily nursing practice?

    Guest343211 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't your place have alcohol gel? I'm pretty anal about this, b/c with kids in particular, they get stuff so sick--just too easy to spread stuff from fomites and so forth. It will rip your hands...

  12. Does your hospital ID badge have your first AND last name on it?

    Guest343211 replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    Can't they also do that with physicians? Should physicians also just use their first names? See, in that regard, the argument doesn't make

  13. The math doesn't add up

    Guest343211 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you notes to patients from nurses is innovative? Wow. As I said, let the hospital send it with their brochure. As a patient, I'd prefer excellent care and the personal interaction that comes...

  15. The math doesn't add up

    Guest343211 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I'm sorry, but this is strange. Now if the hospital wants to send home a brochure that says, "Thank you for using THUS AND SUCH HEALTH SYSTEM, that's great. What does that have to do with...

  16. Does your hospital ID badge have your first AND last name on it?

    Guest343211 replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    That is fine. It does, however, have to do with the general"demeanor" of a number of nurses in regard to professionalism--interms of presentation and what goes with it. Physicians and social workers...

  17. What makes you want to vomit?

    Guest343211 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I've gotten pretty much tolerant for most things. Really, if I were to be quite literal, the main things other than being sick (virus) that makes me nauseated and wanting to vomit, which I...

  18. Does your hospital ID badge have your first AND last name on it?

    Guest343211 replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this is standard at many of the children's hospitals I've worked. You better believe those parents and others want to know exactly who is caring for their children. I can't say that I blame...

  19. Does your hospital ID badge have your first AND last name on it?

    Guest343211 replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    To me it just reflects more of the anti-professional mentality that exists in nursing--as if simply having a first-name only tag is all that is needed. The first name only tags are worn by some...

  20. Does your hospital ID badge have your first AND last name on it?

    Guest343211 replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this is kind of strange to me as

  21. BSN vs ADN

    Guest343211 replied to Grizabelle's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is generally true for all of nursing, regardless of baseline degree. Well, there is Linda Aiken's study from U of Pennsylvania. I already stated in another thread that two year schools should...

  22. BSN vs ADN

    Guest343211 replied to Grizabelle's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    IDK, I think overall, it depends on the person. Other than that, today, it go either way. One BSN program could have students with better clinical instructors and experiences compared to another ADN...

  23. Hr bp drop??

    Guest343211 replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in Medical-Surgical

    Yes, what was this person's code status? I'm guessing it was questionable, hence the "bridge"

  24. I got fired today...

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

    It does seem like that to me as well. Although, I have seen things applied inconsistently; so likeability and favoritism is also a sad factor. Objective systems, applied consistently, invoving...

  25. I got fired today...

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

    Seriously, true dat. :) DE's response was on the harsh side. Seriously. And I can be pretty anal retentive about things. I say it was yet another ahole environment, and OP should thank God she is...
