   Pay for parking?

   wooh replied to Paws2people's topic in General Nursing

   We don't, but those that work in the city rather than the suburbs get the joy of paying for parking. Strangely, I don't find that as bad as charging patients/visitors for parking. Which the bigger...

   wooh replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   It's a bit better than the hospital constantly hitting the staff up for donations. But not much.

   Male patient refuses Female Nurse

   wooh replied to Pointofcareanalyst's topic in Men in Nursing

   One: You probably need to get that on a medic-alert bracelet. Because in a trauma, even if it's in your pocket, nobody is going to see that until after they've cut your clothes off and are looking at...

   wooh replied to Pointofcareanalyst's topic in Men in Nursing

   A billion years ago when I worked at a nursing home as a CNA, I had an awesome DON that happened to be male. We were short one day and he was working the floor with us lowly aides. Went to change...

   CPAP on the unit

   wooh replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

   wooh replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   Is there anything being said here that is being taken as "Perhaps next time we do a survey, we could do a better job," or is it all being taken as, "People here are too stubborn to realize what a...

   All Men Shift

   wooh replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

   I've got a few male coworkers that have their stuff together. Don't mind working with them. Perhaps I should rethink my desire of not allowing men to be hired at

   Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

   wooh replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   If one needs to stay in their area, then one needs to research the job market in THAT AREA before getting a degree. It's like saying, "I want to be an astronaut but can only work in Arizona, why...

    Male patient refuses Female Nurse

    wooh replied to Pointofcareanalyst's topic in Men in Nursing

    Obnoxious doesn't equal lawsuit worthy. If it did, I'd be suing half the people that post on allnurses. (And I'm sure some would be suing

    CPAP on the unit

    wooh replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    CPAP on the unit

    wooh replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    I had a family member with a home bipap machine. Was told something about a valve was different and thus why the hospital mask we brought home wouldn't work. I don't think every machine requires its...
