  1. You make the decisions on YOUR shift and I'll make the decisions on MINE

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

    OMG, really, this is so true. I know there are drug seekers, but that is not what was described by the OP, and I think we have to be really careful with making judgments about other people's pain. I...

  2. sooo tired of staff without ANY compassion or empathy!!!

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

    No feeling superior here; but wooh, honestly, I have seen a lot less compassion among nurses in the last 10 years or so----at least it seems that way. Nothing scientific or verifiable to the point...

  3. OMG Say it correctly!

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

    Oh man. Have you ever typed the wrong word--the homonym--accidently when writing? I have. My fingers sometimes do their own thing when typing. LOL So many times I've typed their when I meant there...

  4. A Complicated Surgery for a Politician

    Guest343211 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL, That's great! A

  5. I have a new respect for familes who lose loved ones

    Guest343211 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, some people just don't bond to their pets like other people do. Every time I've lost a pet, it ripped my heart out of me, and I've lost close loved ones too. It's still a loss. You saw...

  6. OMG Say it correctly!

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

    I don't sweat these things too much, b/c there are different influences, and I don't want anyone to feel somehow less b/c they pronounced or said something a certain way. At any rate, I won't lose...

  7. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey no worries. These are good things to post about, b/c if someone didn't, these kinds of things would go on without the learning process. And also, it's good that people posted about the...

  8. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey everyone. Just noticied I got a warning for language. Opps. I thought I had put in replacement signs and letters, but I guess I typed it, and hadn't. At any rate, I fully apologize to all....

  9. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hopefully, but to me, it would be more important to explore what in the world would have moved me to do this in the first place? What did my thought processes look like, and how did I allow myself to...

  10. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Pink, seriously. You need to sit down quietly, once more, and seroiusly consider whatever was your decision-making process in doing this. Don't beat yourself up. Just think this through, and...

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Pink, seriously. You need to sit down quietyly, once more and seroiusly consider whatever was your decision-making process in doing this. Don't beat yourself up. Just think this thorough, and...

  12. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OK, fine. People need to get involved and work to change these things, b/c clearly there is something wrong. AT the same time, I take exception, b/c if anyone thinks a heavy load on a tele floor that...

  13. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Whatever with the whole high horse comment. Unless there is an issue of safety for the nurse/s, as maybe Brandon implied, it's basically like purgoring yourself . There's a lack of understanding...

  14. My phone keeps going off at work...

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Right. The point is. You shouldn't have to, and proper use of smart technology increases efficiency. Myopic evaluations of people in and out of the orientation period, is a HUGE problem in nursing....

  15. My phone keeps going off at work...

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    That's not scientific at all. Another problem in nursing. People and places, especially in nursing, tend to be reactionary more than anything else. The anecdotals here mean nothing in terms or...

  16. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No offense,but who signs out meds a whole shift or day before the shift? That's like a doc writing a surgical procedure note 24 hours before the operation. It doesn't make any

  17. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    Guest343211 replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow. I feel for you, being tired and all. I can relate, but wow. I don't understand this. You did this on purpose? ??? Legally it's as bad..actually worse, than writing a bad check...you...

  18. One huge reason I want to be a nurse

    Guest343211 replied to mrnightinggale's topic in General Nursing

    For me what makes it suck is the fact that it's a role and a job, where, if you like it or the area, and you bust orifice and are good at it, there are these idiotic people that just have to pile on...

  19. One huge reason I want to be a nurse

    Guest343211 replied to mrnightinggale's topic in General Nursing

    Right bc there is no shortage of controlling, abusive types that have done their best and are doing their best to continue to screw up the profession. Sad but too

  20. My phone keeps going off at work...

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Please post these places so I don't work there. Deal w crap on a case by case basis. This is total laziness on Mgts and admin part. They really just don't want pictures taken. It's all about...

  21. My phone keeps going off at work...

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    This IMHO is just extreme and ridiculous...sorry...typical nursing, punitive stuff. Smart phones are great devices and areand should continue to be used productively. I can see docs and nps etc...

  22. My phone keeps going off at work...

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    What if you have a smart phone and you use it for any number of important tasks in your unit? I always put my cell on vibrate when I go into the hospital. But we use our phones for meds, to calcs,...

  23. Regarding nursing students- was this too much to ask?

    Guest343211 replied to blondy2061h's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the others. And really, it's a very serious kind of unit in which to work. The particular kinds of chemo there, and how it can be given, is a huge part of it--and all that goes along...

  24. Patient asked me what an IV med was for..i didnt know

    Guest343211 replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh, my bad. You are totally right Wooh! LOL. I missed that, and the part about LPNs not being allowed to give IVs, b/c in some settings they are. . . LOL. Well then, to the OP, my humblest...

  25. Patient asked me what an IV med was for..i didnt know

    Guest343211 replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Huh? Who said anything about perfect. This is one of the first things they teach you in nursing school--at least in any RN program I know. But why wouldn't this principle be taught to Practical...
