    Nurses not responding fast enough-VENT

    nyapa replied to pirap's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. One has to be honest with ppl these days. Nurses should not be subject to abuse, simply because they are nurses. You say never to tell a patient that you were busy, but yet you do tell...

    Nurses not responding fast enough-VENT

    nyapa replied to pirap's topic in General Nursing

    I guess what must have hurt the most was that she was so personal in her attack. She has lumped you in the same group with ppl whom she disapproved of. You were not even there! Whether her opinion...

    Help??!!>>

    nyapa replied to biker nurse's topic in General Nursing

    CNA's - "the quiet achievers" After all, what would happen if there were none? They are often not recognised for what they do... Housekeepers "little ray of sunshine". Their work almost never involves...

    Walking off in the middle of report?

    nyapa replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing. She is choosing not to hear your information. That is unsafe on her part. Remember she is the one making the choice, not you. It is her problem, not yours. Just ensure to document the...

    I don't feel like I'll ever know enough

    nyapa replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Age is their problem not yours. How dare they push you away. They overstepped the mark. They are demeaning and bullying you. I can understand why you are not offering to help. If they aren't...

    I don't feel like I'll ever know enough

    nyapa replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    OMG. The nurse contradicted his or herself. How do you know if something is safe unless you understand the whys or whats? I wouldn't call your attitude anal leslie, I'd call it

    nyapa replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Sue, how are you? In a word, N...O. Ask some one who has been in the job for many years as an EN; you will find that what they taught you as gospel once is now anathaema. So it is the...

    nyapa replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    JCAHO? Is that to do with confidentiality? I was about to say the same thing. Also, many laymen do not know the medical terms in their own language, or may not understand what medical/nursing/allied...

    Nurses go for trial

    nyapa replied to gwenith's topic in International Nursing

    Obviously we have not been told everything...only the sensationalist information. My question would be, what is the staff to patient ratio? If it is a high ratio then the hospital also should take...

    New RN already ready to quit!

    nyapa replied to RNroseshea's topic in General Nursing

    Is there another ward you can transfer to? Or follow RN1989's advice and consider another hospital. This person sounds like a bit of a 'control freak', in that you must give meds a certain way and do...

    first name last name issue and drama

    nyapa replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot believe someone would consider someones name more important than their physical condition. In the time she made that point, precious moments were ticking away JlsRN, I am like you in that I...

    Tylenol, how safe is this drug

    nyapa replied to nialloh's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of education re: tylenol, but agree that education re: all over the counter drugs needs to be the main focus. People are aware of aspirin, they are beginning to become aware of NSAIDs...

    Overseas RN taking EN?

    nyapa replied to erwin's topic in International Nursing

    Why not? You could then transfer to RN while working as an EN, and you would maintain most of your skills. The other question is though, how long would it take for you to be recognised as an...

    Disrespectful Nurse aids

    nyapa replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    Did you say that you worked with these staff previously as an aide? That they orientated you? It does sound like sour grapes! Suddenly you have gone to the next level, and they don't like it!...

    Stress-proned

    nyapa replied to -alice-'s topic in General Nursing

    How does one know how one will perform until one actually tries it? Have you thought of doing something where you work in the hospital but not as a nurse, but still assist with patients? I'm not sure...

    Disposable Items

    We are living in a time of heightened awareness of all things environmental. Our hospital is converting everything to disposable items. The latest thing to shock me is the disposable scissors and...

    need info about IV vancomycin

    nyapa replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    While we do trough levels, as mentioned previously, for some reason our lab documents on the results, that peak levels are not useful. Interesting the different points of view? Obviously there is no...

    Australia has a new Government!

    nyapa replied to Grace Oz's topic in International Nursing

    Rant allowed! Good point. Victorian nurses went through hell under a Labor govt. Made international headlines I think. And while we never went to WorkChoices up here, and we certainly didn't get taken...
