    Nasty nurses II

    I once at a crusty old bat. It was nasty. That's why I only eat the young and tender ones
  2. Well that idea is also not smart. You aren't likely going to get a job in a hospital in

    "It's Not That Special --

    I file it right there with the constant "File Safe Harbor" and "Talk to your union rep" advice that only applies if you're in Texas for Safe Harbor or lucky enough to work in a union facility, which...

    CPR in Prone Position

    This is my new thing learned for the day. I wouldn't have even been able to imagine how to do this. If you ever get to try it, please post back and let us know how it
  5. This idea is not smart. Any agency that would hire a PDN to do agency work in a hospital or nursing home (which will be without orientation, you'll be expected to be ready to run immediately) is not...

    "It's Not That Special --

    I only think it's bad if you get judgmental about whomever the specialty forum belongs to. Like I've been guilty of posting in threads from the ED forum about how horrible it is to try to give report...

    Fired 6 weeks into orientation

    Don't put it on your resume. Do put it on employment applications that ask you to list ALL

    Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    You might and just not know he or she is transgender. I knew a friend of mine for quite a while before I knew she was
  10. Y'all are arguing back and forth about things that differ from place to place as if you work at the same place. I can tell you, at my facility, float pool used to make near twice what staff nurses...
  11. From what I read elsewhere, it was the victim's ex-boyfriend and a friend of his that were responsible for sharing the information. Classy guys. May karma kick them in the

    I think this might be illegal!

    That's exactly what it looks like. Because the issue really hasn't been addressed. That doesn't mean the assessment data should be changed. That means the patient needs his pain
  13. I understand the concerns of those living in a multi-family dwelling, but if you don't like how he runs his business, STOP GIVING HIM

    Restricting PTO requests?!

    And if you worked for WalMart, you'd have to work Black Friday (and probably Thanksgiving as well.) Accountants have to work crazy hours during tax season and no way they'd get vacation then. (So no...
  15. I can imagine your coworkers are annoyed if you're making their job harder. You may prefer catering to your patients over your license and facility liability. Your coworkers have every right to...

    Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    If you want unquestioning support of defaming a nurse (or someone you think is a nurse, whether they actually are or not), perhaps student doctor dot net would be a better place to go. Sure, there are...

    Doctor and nurse

    Same thing that made me want to be a nurse over a toll booth operator or a librarian. I wanted to be a nurse. Not a physician. Not a toll booth operator. Not a

    Are Academic Advisors Trustworthy

    Like anything, it depends on the adviser. OP, if you don't want to go to school, don't go to school. If you think it's all a giant conspiracy, don't be a part of

    RN-BSN SCAM

    So don't attend a Texas university. Schools have requirements. If you don't like the requirements of one school, attend another
  24. We've got the same thing going on. Until we get our scores up, they won't give us more staff. It apparently makes sense if you have an MBA. Us lowly RNs just don't have the business acumen to make...
  25. Assisted living isn't checked on hourly. It would be almost like, "Why didn't you catch your home health patient that has twice weekly visits before they were in
