  1. Demanding a Stretcher

    dphrn replied to Doglover's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, it's so obvious this person is a troll. It is just amusing now. Let's not give in to this, no matter how

  2. nurse patient ratio..

    dphrn replied to Lawton Nurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Taking care of up to 24 patients on a med/surg floor is insane! That is the whole floor. Are you serious? Get out of there and get out fast!!! You should not go over six, seven max. Oh my God,...

  3. Ever feel like a prostitute?

    dphrn replied to pinkscrubs's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    After working in five hospitals in four different states, and conditions getting worse in each hospital for nurses...I am no longer making hospitals my choice for employment. Needless to say, I am...

  4. How small is this world?

    dphrn replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I worry about this at times. That is why I don't write ANYTHING about coworkers or patients I have taken care of. Even if I said one small thing, if that person or someone who knows that person is...

  5. Pardon Me While I Vent about this "Patient As A Customer" deal

    dphrn replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I find it disturbing that a nurse would actually mention a patient's financial status in regards to her care. I know it is very frustrating in those situations, I have been in them all too often, but...

  6. Wanting to be seen as an adult!!

    dphrn replied to emily_rn_03's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should be honest and tell her how you feel. She will never know unless you talk with her. You will be the one that it effects if you don't mention it. She has no idea that it bothers...

  7. Oncology Nursing Programs?

    dphrn replied to sabee06's topic in Oncology

    It may have been your last sentence that gave this poster the idea you would know

  8. What would you ask during an interview

    dphrn replied to jam0601's topic in General Nursing

    I like to ask for a peer interview. I like talking with a few of the nurses on the floor without the NM in the room. I ask all kinds of questions regarding the working conditions on their floor. I...

  9. Hourly vs Exempt Salaries

    dphrn replied to pumpkin's topic in General Nursing

    I would not work salary either, especially while on the floor. When I worked full time on the floor, I had to work 40 hours before anything after that was considered over time. If you are scheduled...

  10. adult Acne?

    dphrn replied to nurseluv9's topic in General Nursing

    I never had acne until I was twenty four. I then got cystic acne. Oh my God, it was awful! What finally did the trick was Tetracycline. It cleared up within weeks. I did have to stay on it for...

  11. Any thoughts and words of wisdom greatly appreciated.

    dphrn replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    The choice would be very easy for me. I would be with my child and make more money! My child would have to come first in my decision making, and then I would pursue my goals a little later. I did...

  12. night shifts....

    dphrn replied to uk_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this 100%. It takes the whole family to make this shift work. You have very young children though. I worked night shift the last two years. It did become difficult to sleep at times....

  13. Looking For The Best Start

    dphrn replied to babydoll0015555's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see where the caps lock is on either. Anyway...welcome to the board

  14. Co-Workers teasing your spouse!!

    dphrn replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    My husband would get comments at times from the other guys at work. They were truly just messing around with him though. His come back was that he couldn't wait for the paychecks to start coming in....

  15. I think I'm done!

    dphrn replied to smg's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in five hospitals in four different states, and they were all more or less the same. Poor staffing, negative attitudes, and all the other things you mentioned and have read on these...

  16. The Final Stab.....

    dphrn replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    Are you full time or prn status? If you are full time, aren't you guaranteed at least 36 hours a week? Either way, I am surprised they would pass up the opportunity to have someone who wants to work...

  17. Considering move to Tampa in the spring....

    dphrn replied to ShelleyERgirl's topic in General Nursing

    If you look under United States Nursing, go to Florida. Then go to the thread "Best Florida city", dreamon gives a great review of

  18. Negativity?

    dphrn replied to Dayray's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes the truth is negative. Do responses always have to be cheerful and cute, or can they be truthful and not so fun? I want honest opinions, not just the feel good

  19. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    dphrn replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

    Good post Lizz. I have worked very hard to keep my credit in the excellent status it has been in for many years. I will repeat that...I have worked very hard for my credit history! I must admit, at...

    Oh my goodness, wonderful. I am so happy for you.

  22. Would it be worth it to complain about this?

    dphrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Hi oramar, Why only one of the two shifts? If one day is a bonus, why isn't the other? How did they justify that? Just

  23. Would it be worth it to complain about this?

    dphrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I would think an extra shift is an extra shift. Why would it matter when it was scheduled? If you actually work the extra shift in the time frame the bonus' are to be given, yes, you should get the...

  24. When is too early to interview?

    dphrn replied to alama's topic in General Nursing

    I relocated to VA four months ago. Appx. two months before I actually moved, I started calling the nurse recruiters at the facilities I was interested in and faxing resumes. I spoke with a few of...
