    same with pointclick care. Its a beast, and is constantly displaying pop up box, after pop up box, after box, after box, after box. You cannot go to the next screen, until each box is checked. These...

    Saying please and Thank You are necessary/ needed components of everyday work, in nursing, and out, so I agree with this statement 100%. Workplace dignity and respect are major components to team...

    Perfect attestation as to why nursing will truly never be a profession. Thank you. And yes, this is the kick start to the never ending revolving door of nurse turnover on units, and facility wide. It...

    I once worked in a nursing home where there was a never ending revolving door of LPNs and RNs in a facility where the nurse to patient ratio was basically a dream and acuity was low. I was not sure...

    A well functioning team realizes the difference in tasks/ duties/ rank/ education / licensing, chain of command, and works within those parameters while respecting authority, and those who report to...

    No we don't, and no, we shouldn't. Once we do, we are permissibly, one teaspoon at a time, allowing the misery of reverse delegation to take root, and grow into an unmanageable monster. This is why...

    My two cents...this post is a terrific example of exactly why nursing will never actually be a "profession", and consistently manages to destroy itself from the interior....Nurse Joe is accused of not...

    Interesting, since "cost control" was part of my original degree in the business school I attended. Yet, when I point this out to the "high and mighty" who trash my self worth, my resume, my...

    We are not allowed to use our brains. It was harped into us in nursing school to call the physician. Ironic, isn't it, wether LPN, RN or BSN, that we are REQUIRED to call a physician for a change in...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    This is why its really infuriating to second career nurses, who have BS and MA or MS degrees in other fields. We already know how to think critically, how to look outside the box, how to research,...

    As I search my memory to find even one employer in the long list of formers and prospectives that I have accumulated in this horrific field, who was honest with me during the hiring process, I come up...

    I was recently contacted by a nurse recruiter who wanted to offer me a short term contract (local travel) . Come to find out, the recruiter is working for a staffing agency that is owned by the...

    Please do not be fooled by the hospitals / nursing homes spending millions of dollars on short term contracts. This is not being done because there is a shortage anywhere. Its being done to avoid the...

  14. Going from community/public health to hospital bedside nursing?

    panurse9999 replied to Parrhesia's topic in Public, Community Health

    Nursing is demoralizing, crude, cruel and unprofessional. The 24/ 7 institutions expect that we take on more and more, and more, with less and less support. I once worked on a computerized charting...

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    It was about my 3rd year in nursing when I started accepting the fact that my choice to go into the nursing field 2nd career was a monumental mistake. I have regretted it all along the way. I have...

    Very true, in LTC...but if you are one of the lucky , few "chosen" one's who lands a hospital gig, (in my area) the voluntary turnover rate (notice I sad voluntary) is low. Mind you, this a a mega...

    I was hoping to have it shared hundreds of times to social media, to begin dispelling the myth/ hoax of the "nursing shortage" . It was this hoax that gave birth to the most sickening abuse of the...

    The pile-on just reminds me why nursing is not, and will never, ever be a profession. Backbiting, backstabbing, bullying , personal humiliation, degredation, sorority style pile ons, and insisting...

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    The propensity to *** can nurses for no reason (both union and non-union) lies in the never ending greed at the highest level of hospital/ corporate management. Its never about skill, ability,...

    SO true. What I see happening in PA LTC, is so unreal, that few would believe me. It has become so bad, corporate controlled, race to the bottom, $$$$ matters before patient, etc, etc...that there are...

    I remember a really bad fifedom, shouting match between a surgeon and an Anesthesiologist, and a Nursing Director. I was told what to do, and did it. Then got chewed out by the surgeon, demanding to...

    Isnt it sad that we have to dumb down our resume's to stay marketable? I was always of the opinion that putting every single thing out there made me more well rounded, not less, even if the resume was...

    Exactly, spot on, true. When I try to explain this to people, I get wide-eyed, deer in the headlights, look from people who then tell me I'm a conspiracy theorist. And there are many of them who weigh...

    I have done that, and simplified my resume (very recently) for just industry specific employment. I think it looks much nicer, less crowded, less complicated, and removes the nose in the air, holier...

    Outpatient, and no, no job for me. Applied with 10 years experience, and again after several more years. (DaVita and Fresenius) both, a no-go. There is always someone cheaper, and younger. Since I...
