    Behaviors you've learned to lose when at work.

    Spikey9001 replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

    -Cursing and talking like I would outside of work. -Popping my iPod into my ears and doing my work... it's actually when I'm most productive. -Flirting with or trying to sleep with coworkers... that's...

    This "us" vs "them" mentality....

    Spikey9001 replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also think it's completely backwards and asinine to think that an instructor can teach up to 10 students all the ins and outs of skills, patho, and things like that on her own without SOME help from...

    This "us" vs "them" mentality....

    Spikey9001 replied to DL-SNUP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How come you never see the ultrasound, PT, OT and med students being treated the way nursing students are treated...? In regards to the "I don't want you here, **** you" type attitudes? There needs...

    Spikey9001 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    What I meant to say, would the profession be taken more seriously if it weren't so women dominated... I just awoke and my brain isn't fully on

    Facilities not on the Customer service bandwagon

    Spikey9001 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    This puts another nail in the coffin for me to jump towards advanced practice

    Pct refused delegation

    And yeah, it's on night shift. No way in hell this **** would fly on day shift

    I pointed this point out in my post. Albeit, I didn't go in depth as you

    Pct refused delegation

    Spikey9001 replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    Being on the other side of the fence, I can see how one might refuse a delegation. Imagine having anywhere from 3-6 nurses telling what to do for 12 hours and instead of having a ratio of 2-6:1 it's...

    Spikey9001 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just to get your RN, put your time in at the beside and jump ship to advanced practice or non beside care as soon as possible, right? Why put up with all these horrendous working conditions, lateral...

    Spikey9001 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    And it's not like I dread coming to work everyday. I love the core aspect of my job even thought it gets difficult sometimes (PCT/PCA) but it's just the politics, negativity and BS that just drive up...

    Spikey9001 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    These are all valid points. You're right, if I want to change the way things are run, then I should be on side of the fence that does that. And I went into nursing because I like medicine, the...

    What are your favorite types of patients??

    Spikey9001 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The ones that are non verbal, weather it be trach'd, intubated or sedated. Critical care patients that require a lot of one to one care. Patients that are actually

    Spikey9001 replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Which is why I can't wait to become an RN and hopefully jump right into the ICU. I'm a tech/aide now in a stepdown/PCU unit and it just confirmed me wanting to go to ICU after

    Spikey9001 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Spikey9001 replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that nurses should be paid more. The nature of our work demands it. How do you justify paying other majors more money than us when they don't have lives in their

    Spikey9001 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work as a nurse's aide on a surgical step down unit in a hospital. It was a pretty "normal" night (most of the patients were stable, people were just starting to go to sleep and the flow of work...

    Spikey9001 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    This is good advice and now that I remember, I did flatten the bed remove the headboard, got the BP cuff and the patients round report. I guess this one of those things that you have get acquainted...
