Congrats... ON job and baby!!!!!!! shhhhhhhhh :) Keep it to yourself for now

Dont give up, just make it a goal and follow your dream! Good Luck!

I posted this last week. thanks to all who replied. I just am very frustrated lil history on subject read my last post and then i will explain: This is last week post "I have a question? Here is a little history. I am an RN BSN. I started my career i...

oh yeah and the clicking of the heels... it bothers me too, so i see what you are saying. Those clicks will not come from me. Can only wear flats since my injury. :)

thank you 2ndwind. I appreciate the advice. I am an advocate for staff as well as patients. I truly feel that if i can make a change in the quality of care or improving the gaps between what the staff needs and administraion that would be incredible....

wow what a mess, i sorry this has happened to you... good luck and take care.

Thanks everyone for repling. I will do my best to change it for the best believe it or not.

I am open to comments and personal expereinces but i do not feel like I should be judged as I was. I do not approach my staff defensivly at all. Like I said 9 times out of 10 the staff was not in the wrong and maybe they were blamed in the past, but ...

I am not fighting with you. I am calling out to my peers for help advice. Ways I can change this. I am pro nursing. I am dedicated to my profession and making sure patients recieve the best care they should as a nurse should be. I have had some awfu...

I am not sure that you are being honest because you do not know me. I am not juding you so i would appreciate it if you have nothing to say other than smart comments you just dont reply at all. With such a judgement that my job is basically "window s...

I have made it a priority to compliment the staff and assure them they did the best they could do. I would not like to be blamed for something I didnt do. I understand because I have been in their shoes for six years. I know how hard it is the poor n...

A patient leaving AMA does not trigger me to be involved the reason i was involved was because they called in and filed a complaint. I address these issues with the staff to come up with ways to improve our process. Actually 9 times out of 10 the sta...

To everyone else thanks for the advice i appreciate it.

I do wear business clothes. As float staff which was my previous job, I made friends in every unit. I got alone very well with my peers. I am trying to change the attitudes and make a difference. My position is important. I am not naive. As for this ...

Fast pace... you will run around like a chicken with your head cut off!!! ER is fast, exciting, and scary all at the same time. You will witness things you never imagined and things you will wish you never see again. The pediatric population is tough...

i have never heard of this??? Hmmm ? We have a patient relations represenative, but she takes all concerns or grievances.. .

Even if you think auditors are being picky you need to chart it. In the end if the audits are not approved your hospital wont get paid and if they dont get paid, guess who will suffer in the end? You because they will be losing money they could use f...

I have a question? Here is a little history. I am an RN BSN. I started my career in ICU. I worked ICU for 3 years and then went to Float pool. I floated to all clinical areas of hospital for 3 years. I have just accepted a new position in Quality Man...

Thank you to all who replied. I have tried to approach things in a different manner than the person who previously had my job. I have gone to the floors and observed. I have been giving compliments to the staff. I know they think im like internal aff...

it should be noted as TORB (telephone order read back) and yes you need to sign off the order!!!! That is a huge error waiting to happen !!!! Plus JC says you have to read it back to the doctor to verify so therfore you must document it!

I agree with you, but I really thought it would be different for me. Not that I think im better than anyone. I say that because i worked in float pool had great relationships with staff in every unit. I have only been in this new job for three weeks....

YUck. when i started at my current place of employment my orientation was horrible. I am in Float Pool. My previous experience was ICU. Once starting this job i had 2 yes 2 12 hr shifts to each unit: ER, PEDS, ICU, CVICU, PACU, ONC, IMU, CVSD,MED-SUR...

"dubble breastectominy" I thought this nurse can not be serious or stable. Does she realize what she just wrote!!! omg!
