2. Nurse Staffing Costs

   Goldenhare replied to stewstew03's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   Re: gswifty Can be? Used to be! I used to love it here! But over the years, I have seen this site go from being a helpful friendly place, where people used to freely share knowledge and help. But I've...

   Goldenhare replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   The staff at my son's doctor's office refers to their MA's as nurses. Drives me crazy. And I correct them every time. Having said that, the vet tech's at my Dog's vet, call themselves nurses also. I...

6. Afraid for my License

   Goldenhare replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

   Ok that's what I was thinking. I have been to see management twice. I am going to put things in writing to them. I am keeping notes. I have spoken to one of the preceptorship and she has told me to...

   Goldenhare replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

   I am civilian, which adds to the problem because I am told over and over again that the military nurses cannot be sued, which I don't believe, but they do. Many times there are only 2 nurses on the...

10. Calling a doctor question.

    Goldenhare replied to iwashere's topic in General Nursing

    If MY phone rings in MY house, I have a right to know WHO is calling. It's courtesy. Maybe I don't have caller ID and maybe YOU

14. So I guess it is true...

    Goldenhare replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I am alarmed at the nasty comments directed at the poster. She has not done anything wrong, is verbalizing her hurt and confusion, and asking for feedback. So many of you have jumped all over her...

15. Accuracy and Patient Safety vs Time Management

    Goldenhare replied to Goldenhare's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have done a few shifts so far just trying to pare down what exactly has to happen and what doesn't. It is difficult as I still think I should do more. I'm still struggling with a balance and I...
