  2. RN administration...remember from where you came.

    fungez replied to livinthedreamRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most admininstrators do bedside for a year or two, decide it's for the birds, and waste no time getting their master's so they can tell us wage slaves how it's down. But the best boss I've ever had...

  3. My first ranting

    fungez replied to tokebi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You know how make a person crazy? I'm not being facetious here. I mean, really make a person mentally ill. You make that person a hundred percent responsible for something he has no control over....

  4. Texas nursing Jobs

    fungez replied to Trinity1234's topic in Texas Nursing

  5. Are LPN's being Phased Out?

    fungez replied to angelcarmichael's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it depends on your geographical area. When I lived in Kansas, I worked with maybe 4 LVNs in the hospital, and when they retired, they weren't replaced. LVNs mostly worked in nursing homes and...

  6. Qualified New Grad RN, No one wants to hire!!!!!

    fungez replied to Brownie3085's topic in General Nursing

    Tyler, your post was way out of line. Things have changed drastically in just the last couple of years. An acquaitance of mine, when she started her ADN program, there 25 jobs for every applicant....

  7. How do u segway into new unit? Onc to Cardiac/ER etc.

    fungez replied to OncNurse1's topic in Emergency

    It's usually who you know, someone who can put in a good word for you. I got into ER by floating down there when I worked M/S (for holds) and making a good impression. I ended up hating it, but I'm...

    fungez replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

  9. Nurses from other units to start IV's

    fungez replied to Daliadreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you work at such a cruddy, hostile, toxic place. People act like that either because they're allowed or even encouraged (divide and conquer) by management. I'd suggest you to start looking...

  10. All nurses having difficult time right now, thanks for listening

    fungez replied to Nursemom64's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes, I'm really sorry. The only thing worse than working is not working, and finding a job is demeaning under the best of

  11. Need solutions to nursing problems!!

    fungez replied to SmokeyNite's topic in General Nursing

    We all struggle with this. Nursing school sucks a lot of the critical thinking skills out of us, with all the "right" answers and black and white thinkings. I know I was never encouraged to think...

  12. How to handle nursing field.. very long post

    fungez replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, this is what I think. Judging from your writing skills, I think you have the smarts and maturity to get through any program you wish. Nursing school is hard and a lot of work, sure, but it's...

  13. What has ended up in your pockets?

    fungez replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    A roll of surgical tape, which ended up in the washing machine, which cost me a hundred bucks. Two vicodins, which I found two days after the fact, while I was doing laundry. Oops. Thankfully, they...

  14. Holiday Scheduling

    fungez replied to scoochy's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you love being punished because you don't have kids? I work PRN because I hate working the holidays. If by some miracle you get the day off you have to work the day before and the day after...

  15. I want to leave nursing....now what do I do?!

    fungez replied to np7797's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh, me too. I've always said I'm retiring in 20 years. My daughter will be out of college then and I'll just have to support myself. I could work minimum wage if I had to. But now we're in a...

  16. How old were you. when you become RN?

    fungez replied to Prado's topic in General Nursing

    23. And I'm retiring next year. It'll be 20 years and I've concluded that when nursing makes you go

  17. In response to cost cutting.

    fungez replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I shoulda gone to plumbing school. It can't be any ickier than being a nurse, plus you get to play with fire. I think I'll volunteer to take on the nurse recruiter duties. As far as I can tell,...

  18. nurse abuse

    fungez posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you do when you're being verbally abused? Today's scenerio: patient "falls" in bathroom. I'm using scare quotes because the fall was highly suspicious and dramatic. Pt won't hold still...

  19. All about staffing Dallas/Fort Worth

    fungez replied to Hope1978's topic in Agency Nurses

    Well, I just got off the phone with Dallas AAS. The recruiter blew off my voicemail requesting she call me back. Particularily annoying since I explained on the v.m. that I'd worked for both the...

  20. For all of those on Medicaid

    fungez replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    None of us care what insurance, if any, the patient has. We just don't like the entitlement mentality. When I worked the ER some idiot used EMS to come in for her UTI. Didn't have a ride. When...

  21. Resign now??

    fungez replied to femsmahus's topic in General Nursing

    Get a lawyer. Seriously. Accusing someone of fradulent documentation is a serious charge and if it's not true, then it's slanderous. He/she can tell you what to do as well as quiting or waiting to...

    fungez replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    9)Shut up and show a little gratitude. For me, for your doctor, for this hospital, and for your health care, which is the most advanced in the world. If you don't like it, move to the sub-Sahara,...

  24. Question about pts leaving AMA...

    fungez replied to NBMom1225's topic in General Nursing

    In my education class when I was working ED, they told me you couldn't tell a AMA patient that insurance might not pay the bill. They said it was a form of coercion. Well, maybe so, but doesn't the...

  25. nurse abuse

    fungez replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you!!! When I was charging, years ago, a husband threatened to come after my tech with a baseball bat. For wanting to get the patient's vital signs! So I called security, they had a Come to...
