  1. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    jkaee replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: The way my mood has been towards family members lately, I probably would have said that (right before going to the unemployment

  2. Drunk on the job?? Need advice bad!!

    jkaee replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    What a yucky situation..... Well, all I can offer is if he does not have a drinking problem (which it doesn't sound like, but of course I'm a 3rd party here) then maybe for the sake of his future...

  3. They didn't teach me this in nursing school and I could have killed someone!

    jkaee replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Funny.....I was just thinking the same thing. I have no problem with anyone asking questions, but this kind of worries me.

  4. Worried that experienced nurse may know nothing

    jkaee replied to krob0729's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with virtually everything people have told you. What I would also do now that she's on the floor by herself is document everything you find that was done incorrectly or not done at all in an...

  5. Pediatric LTC facility

    jkaee replied to krob0729's topic in General Nursing

    Kim, i knew a nurse that worked in peds ltc, and I think there's one in our area....what kind of patients do you see, and do you have a lot of infants? Are the floors divided by age groups or dx?...

  7. Question for the midwives....

    jkaee replied to katwoman7755's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I know that they do exist, in fact I was offered a job in L&D once about 2 years ago....but I didn't take it because of a multitude of reasons....very high turnover of staff....high incidence of...

  8. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    jkaee replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I am a "30 something" and I see my generations kids being raised the same way....toys out the wazoo, new clothes every year (God forbid our kids have to wear hand me downs!!) 2 or 3 vacations...

  9. She bit my head off... but then she gave it back!

    jkaee replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

    I was young when I graduated from nusing school, too (20 years old), and it is very tough when your co-workers and/or the people that are under you are old enough to be your parents. That was...

  10. Question for the midwives....

    jkaee replied to katwoman7755's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You know, I was wondering the exact same thing not too long ago. It's very difficult getting into L&D in my area as well (or at least getting in one that's in a decent hospital) and sometimes I...

  11. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    jkaee replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My husband and I were just talking about this kind of attitude after I worked this weekend.....when did people become so rude and demanding? And why do they think that they are the only ones in the...

  12. How far up the ladder can you go with an Associate Nursing degree?

    jkaee replied to Student_Nurse_Cossman's topic in Nursing Career

    Really? That's good to know. I'm not interested in going back to school right now, but in the future, that might be something that I can look into. I can't see myself doing bedside nursing forever...

  13. 4 hours between shifts

    jkaee replied to dinkymouse's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, if the DON was so concerned, like you are about your fellow co-worker, then SHE should come in and fill in for a shift. That's part of her job description, too, the last time I checked. If...

  14. Needing some reassurance about returning to work, Please!!!

    jkaee replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with BSN....if you feel you need more orientation because you've been out of the loop for a while, tell them. I'd try to tell them a good bit before youre finished your orientation (like 2...

  15. How far up the ladder can you go with an Associate Nursing degree?

    jkaee replied to Student_Nurse_Cossman's topic in Nursing Career

    Welcome to allnurses! Basically, you would want a BSN (at least) if you want to get into hospital managment. For upper level managment, most large hospitals require you to be at least working on your...

  16. Judgements about big families

    jkaee replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was listening to a sermon on the radio the other day, and the pastor said "Where your desires are your heart will follow." It made me think of what we are teaching our kids, and how it will...

  17. Judgements about big families

    jkaee replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :yelclap: EXCELLENT! I know this is off topic, but I have to agree with you 100 percent. In this extremely materialistic society, people look at parents with many kids and automatically think of...

  18. What are your thoughts on unions?

    jkaee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I started a new job in May working weekends. On Sunday, one of the senior nurses pulled me aside and asked me how I liked working there. Long story short, some of the nurses are interested in...

    [quote name=UnewmeB4 There were breatfeeding advocates protesting in front of our hospital yesterday, decrying how our policies "Damage" babies. These Moms and a couple dads, had their infants and...

  21. Judgements about big families

    jkaee replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I can tell you that that Dr would have gotten an earful from my hubby if that ever happened to me. Unbelievable...and yet, I'm sure there won't be any "follow up" from TPTB. Reminds me of my...

  22. Why do unit nurses have bad reps?

    jkaee replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    jkaee replied to LINGNJ50's topic in Nursing Career

    I used to live in Winchester, Va and my husband used to commute to DC from there. It may be more than you're willing to travel, but the northern VA areas were all really nice....keep in mind, this...
