  2. horizontal abuse,in-figting among our peers

    UnewmeB4 replied to James Garrity's topic in Men in Nursing

    I hate to agree, but, I do think guys let go more easily. When I was a kid, I use to wish I was a guy. They just had a physical fight, and were friends again. Girls got there friends involved and...

  3. How Many is Too Many

    UnewmeB4 replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I knew children who grew up in families with 21 children. Bad part is, older children end up playing "parent" and not really able to have childhood of their own. Some turned out great,...

  4. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    UnewmeB4 replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    I do have a TShirt that says "I put the FUN in DysFUNctional". I wear it proudly. We have all become Psychoanalysts, instead of appreciating the diversity among human beings, we judge everyone's...

  6. OK Hosp. Smoking Ban

    UnewmeB4 replied to LadyBugLass's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    One of my chief complaints as an asthmatic, was people use to smoke right outside the ER. I am having great difficulty breathing, and am in need of emergency resp treatments. However, I must first...

    30 years med/surg and rehab, no

  8. Nurse who appeared on Dr. Phil suspended

    UnewmeB4 replied to imenid37's topic in General Nursing

    Better create more foster homes. If we take all the kids away from all the fighting, alcoholic, and drug abusing families...we are in deep doodoo. The problem is more extensive than you know. Sad...

  9. Nurse who appeared on Dr. Phil suspended

    UnewmeB4 replied to imenid37's topic in General Nursing

    LORD HAVE MERCY! A blood etoh that high? I thought a Blood etoh of .5 was not compatible with life? It would be more informative, if they had told the entire story. Had she ever tried to get help...

  10. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    UnewmeB4 replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely nothing wrong with those reasons. It isn't the reason that matters. All that matters is how you take care of your patients. The interesting thing here, is so many comments would be great...

  11. sleep apnea alarm disabled "pt died"

    UnewmeB4 replied to got2luvnights's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious how they could get the liscences of ANY nurse who cared for him if they had no proof that the nurse had his alarms

  12. Weird Float position?

    UnewmeB4 replied to epiphany's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I personally don't think all the training in the world can help a new grad FLOAT anywhere! Our hospital wants at least 1-2 yrs experience for even the med-surg float pool! Way too dangerous for a...

  13. re: something to consider...

    UnewmeB4 replied to Granted Fal's topic in Psychiatric

    Since you work in psych, could you know if the stats someone told me are true...that 90% of nurses are on antidepressants? Someone quoted that to me one night on a cardiac floor, and sure enough,...

  14. re: something to consider...

    UnewmeB4 replied to Granted Fal's topic in Psychiatric

    Beware of anyone in a "helping profession" working so hard to help others! The more "selfless" the scarier. It is often a way to take their attention off their own "issues". How many nurses are in...

  15. How to get through Night Shifts

    UnewmeB4 replied to joey1967's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you can, or need, take a 2 hr nap before going in. Don't succumb to the nightshift junk food habit. It just isn't healthy. Will you be rotating, or doing all nights? That makes a difference as...

  16. staffing tried to trick/bully me in today!

    UnewmeB4 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    I never give them any info, as it is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS! I say "NO"! Even where I use to work. I say "No" again. ..and that is all I tell them, even if they "beg". End of story. If I call in...

    No one can force you or guilt you without your cooperation...just say

  18. Mandated!

    UnewmeB4 replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is horrendous. The hospital I work at in nonunion. They may ask if you want to work OT. However, they have never forced it on anyone that I am aware of. The nursing office will call and leave...

  19. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    UnewmeB4 replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am still trying to figure that one out!

  20. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    UnewmeB4 replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    I cannot always walk away, which, of course, is what I do on 3-11, when I can hang out with my pts. More difficult on 11-7, when you spend most of your time at the nurses station, with the additional...

  21. Why Are Nurses Given Such A Bad Rap Today?

    UnewmeB4 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Just a P.S. Is this how we make Nurses look better, by putting down other professions as "less" than

  22. Why Are Nurses Given Such A Bad Rap Today?

    UnewmeB4 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    We can be so bigoted ourselves! My goodness! Daycare workers are often ADNs or Bachelors. Their pay and benefits suck way worse than Nurses. To top it off, they are RAISING AMERICA'S Children, which...

  23. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    UnewmeB4 replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    Do you get tired of hearing about "that time of month?" Or, how about PMS? And, if not, they are pregnant...and you hear about their morning sickness, or lack of sleep, or, swollen anles, ad...

  24. Is it okay to slug an oncologist?

    UnewmeB4 replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Oncology

    OK..OK! I'm weird too. I have been called that...and a whole lot more. However, I LOVE it, cause when they are talking about me, they aren't talking about someone

  25. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.
