  5. Why am I now the enemy?

    NightNurseRN replied to FancypantsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Since I work nights, the admitting doc almost never sees the patient before they come to me, all the orders I spoke of previously are ER orders. The ones for the floor are ordered by the ER doctor and...

  6. Why am I now the enemy?

    NightNurseRN replied to FancypantsRN's topic in General Nursing

    NightNurseRN replied to txdon's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    NightNurseRN replied to nyteshade's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. What do you do if your friend is "THAT patient?"

    NightNurseRN replied to mskate's topic in General Nursing

    I cant stand when people act this way! When my FIL was in my hospital, on MY UNIT, my MIL would complain constantly. It got on my last nerve! I would probably give the friend a piece of my mind...

  18. Eliminating the Charge Nurse on a Med-Surg unit

    NightNurseRN replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think I may be really lucky where I work! We have a free charge and ratio of 1:4 on our tele unit! It probably won't stay that way for a long time though

    NightNurseRN replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    Is anyone else sick of the endless demands placed on nurses? Now they are implementing a new clinical ladder thing at our hospital. If you have over 3 years experience you are a "RN II" and you must...

    NightNurseRN replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Nursing

    What irritates me is when management or other nurses on their high horses get on me for missing a staff meeting that was at 1 pm the day after I worked. Um hello?! If I set up a meeting at 1 AM would...
