  2. Am I too shallow to be a nurse?

    RNandRRT replied to jonsey77's topic in General Nursing

  5. Dating Coworkers??

    RNandRRT replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt and then let them prove me wrong. Accountability is definitely becoming a lost art. Being married to a co worker with kids, I can't imagine a scenario...

  6. Dating Coworkers??

    RNandRRT replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    still sounds like an extreme example. I can't imagine many scenarios where both would have to call off. And if it was a chronic issue, that would need to be handled by the manager/director. So I...

  7. asking for a raise after 3 month probation period

    RNandRRT replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    The agreed upon salary should have been offered to you in writing. If you have the letter, you should definitely discuss with your direct manager. If that doesn't go your way, then go to HR. If...

    RNandRRT replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    I've been doing night shift since 1992. I couldn't do day shift. I mean, when would I work out? When would I have time to be with my wife and kids? How would I possibly stay healthy getting up so...

  11. Who needs to be seen first?

    RNandRRT replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    ABC. It's got to be the morphine patient just based on the little info.

  12. New grad frustrated, but trapped...in a "profession" i HATE.

    RNandRRT replied to Sparx28's topic in General Nursing

    the place you work at sounds like it's more of the problem than the "profession". The advice given here has been great. Healthcare is a stressful enough career without all the politics,...

  13. Dating Coworkers??

    RNandRRT replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally get that. But those scenarios are the extreme. But I can guarantee that there are just as many examples of staffing issues or hardships that happen every day that have nothing to do with...

  14. Dating Coworkers??

    RNandRRT replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    wow. you sure have been burned by a lot of happy and unhappy couples dating while working together. Sorry for your luck. So I take it you're more forgiving for someone who has a family emergency...

  17. Cant believe it...I already have a CPNE date!!

    RNandRRT replied to Kelseyj79's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am completely frustrated by the lack of a search capability on that EPN. I have gone through the first 20 pages and have found nothing about York. I'll do another 20 pages shortly. Have to break it...

  18. Computerized Charting ...

    RNandRRT replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    Actually, there are tablets available. Most of the techs in our main hospital have them latched onto their bp machine pole. That way they are able to input their VS right there with the patient. Check...

  19. Computerized Charting ...

    RNandRRT replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    The ICU where I work went paperless about 1.5 years ago. Some of the older "AR" nurses had a hard time letting go of pen and paper, but have since then transitioned very well. It's also a brand new...

  21. Dating Coworkers??

    RNandRRT replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also think you shouldn't drive a car. You could get into an accident. And yesterday we had a guy pronounced brain dead after choking on a piece of steak. What the heck was he thinking eating...

    RNandRRT replied to beat2beat's topic in General Nursing

    The only problem i have ever seen is the requirements. A lot of places around here have holiday and weekend requirements for their per diem's, and sometimes those end up crossing over each other. A...

    RNandRRT replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm an RCP and my wife of 17 years is an RN. I sure didn't meet her outside of the hospital. Being in different departments helped. The only rule our facility had about married people was that they...
