  1. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    My theory? And I say this as a woman ... hormones. And, the fact that it's sometimes more fun to be mean than nice. Men just duke it out, get it over with and move on. They don't hold grudges like...

  2. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I remember in one of the orientations I had for a job with one of the hosptials that the security guy kept telling us over and over: behavior breeds behavior. If you react with hostility...

  3. Most RN's first borns?

    Sheri257 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't have much contact. I only feel bad about it this time of the year when it's the holidays ... and all you hear about is family, family, family ... Oh well ......

  4. Most RN's first borns?

    Sheri257 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. Still ... look at the number of first borns with alcoholic parents ... Whoah.

  5. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. I noticed you said something very similar on another thread ... basically, trust no one. And believe me, I don't. I can't prove it, of course, but I suspect that another student ... who tends to...

  6. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that's my complaint here. I can understand that when you're dealing with first semester students, just as an example ... it is a real hassle because the students don't know anything and the RN...

  7. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    Sheri257 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah ... I'd really like to hear this story as well.

  8. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    Sheri257 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, it's not going to end ... especially when you get to nursing school and people start flunking out in even higher numbers. They'll say all kinds of stuff to try to make themselves feel...

  9. Getting A Bsn With The Intention Of Becoming A Doctor

    Sheri257 replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    It may not be fair for those who want to pursue nursing but, on the other hand I think it's a great idea for doctors to have some nursing background. Maybe it would give docs a much better...

  10. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    Sheri257 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Quite frankly, this is one of the reasons I'll never work for a non-union hospitals. They can't get away with this crap so easily at a union hospital.

  11. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    Sheri257 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I call it the "F" word ... When they start talking "Family" ... you KNOW that most of the time, the place is going to be a cut throat hellhole Run for the hills !!!

  12. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    Sheri257 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work as an aide in a hospital where night shift used to always write up day shift. It was like ... every time you walked in the next morning, you wondered who night shift would write up...

  13. Most RN's first borns?

    Sheri257 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    OMG! First born, alcoholic father AND mother. Although I'm not an RN yet ... a couple of months to go. Look at all the first borns on this thread ... wow.

  14. Patient complaints

    Sheri257 replied to am4182's topic in General Nursing

    But we DO have other patients, and this is what drives me insane. I spent practically the entire morning on this one patient who was riding the call light like crazy. If that doesn't make her feel...

  15. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you SMK. Some of these nurses who've worked at the same hospital for years seem to forget that every hospital's gear is different. Everything from the IV sticks to the pumps has little quirks...

  16. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    The instructor only drops in for a couple of minutes once a week. We don't see much of her. I've talked to her about it but, one of the hospitals dropped out of precepting at the last minute and they...

  17. Patient complaints

    Sheri257 replied to am4182's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student, and it's already getting to me. There's always one patient riding the call light, all day long. The more you answer it ... the more they abuse you. I'm starting to understand now...

  18. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your point completely. But this is where things get mixed up in these threads. I never said I did "all" of the work. I said I did "most" of the work. I should have made this clear from...

  19. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think management, in many cases, cares. They dump on the staff and the staff, in turn, dumps on the students and/or new staff... because they can. I don't think it occurs to any of them what...

  20. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I would be interested in what you have to say about this. If she's taking one patient, and I'm taking all the rest, I would think that would qualify as doing most of the work. I'm giving all the...

  21. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I know ... it's an ego thing. It's just that I feel it's a constantly moving target. If I try to improve on one thing, she changes her mind about what she told me earlier. She'll tell me not to...

  22. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah ... my nurse has been doing that too and, I'm sure she would continue to do that if I worked there which, of course, I won't. I can't get the CNA's to do much because of it and, instead of...

  23. House, Grey's Anatomy make me mad

    Sheri257 replied to nitesky83's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. People don't seem to think about the fact that these shows don't do docs any favors either. On Grey's Anatomy the docs routinely either kill patients or endanger patients' lives to...

  24. "ratios"? and pay in California?

    Sheri257 replied to NewJA's topic in California Nursing

    Funny ... I've been in a dozen hospitals and, I've only seen one that uses the RN and LVN team nursing system with ten patients. But they still had one CNA for every 10 patients on top of that. You...

  25. House - Is this what nurses do?

    Sheri257 replied to MT RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think these shows are doing docs any favors either. According to Grey's Anatomy ... docs kill patients all the time and do highly unethical things and, they always get away with it. Alex made...
