    Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

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

    There's a sign on my unit that says something like, "We're the best unit because we give the best customer service." Ergh. Here I thought we were the best unit because we give the best nursing care....

    Most of us (who I'm assuming are the ones you'd call lazy) aren't union. Perhaps if we were union, we wouldn't need to resort to calling in to get the days we need

    Pearson Vue: Bullies?

    wooh posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I hear they killed the PVT. Seems unfair and mean. Target: desperate, impatient nursing grads. Showing off their power to make those grads pay a whole $8 to get their results like we had to do...

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

    Exactly. Like I said, the hospital abuses us, then let's us blame each other rather than them. It's all well and good for us to be noble, but all it does is get us taken advantage of. Employment at...

    Pay me enough, I'll work any holiday. But the hospital would rather staff short than pay. We work two short shifts, the hospital can pay double time for one and still break even. But they won't....

    There comes a point where q hourly straight caths can't be any more of a risk than indwelling. All the trauma to the tissue, the constant in and out? I'd bet he feels like he needs to pee because...

    wooh replied to Rvanurse2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    wooh replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, there's a difference between sex as "dirty" and sex as not suitable for inflicting on others in a public space. Even if it's ok in a "private" room, it's not always in a private room. Can't...

    wooh replied to MsPebbles's topic in General Nursing

    Just go behind her and turn it back down. For a while I just had a habit of checking thermostats every single time I walked by. Since I'm up moving, I obviously pass by them more often than those...

    Going to a private college with exorbitant tuition to get a degree that won't pay it off? Well without a generous scholarship, that wasn't the best idea. I went to a state school to get my BSN and...
