  1. Bedside Reporting starting Monday :(((

    How to end this in 3 easy steps: 1. Just say in front of the patient everything you'd normally say in report. 2. Watch complaints skyrocket and patient satisfaction scores plumet. 3. LOL in break room. Optional step 4: Have another job lined up.
  2. Magnet Hospitals

    IT'S A TRAP! Also The general rule of thumb is this: Whatever HR and management tell you about a place, it's actually the opposite.
  3. Nurse's getting younger

    *Facepalm* She's bemoaning the edging out of experienced nurses by employers eager to hire newer nurses who are more desperate for work and willing to work for less, thus driving down wages and driving out older nurses. It wasn't a commentary on you...
  4. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    Preach it, Sista!
  5. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    Thanks! Waaaaay back in the days of dial-up I went by a handle of Fribbles. For some reason I couldn't use that when I signed up for this site, so I went with Fribblet. Apparently, it's also used as an alternative term for Dingleberry as another pos...
  6. Nurse's getting younger

    I'm confused. What exactly is it that belongs to the nurse that's getting younger?
  7. Magnet Designation

    Lobby or no lobby, with the economy in shambles and more and more people trying to get into this "recession-proof" job, employers have the upper hand. Why, then, would you not hire a bachelors prepared nurse at the same price? More effective/safe/...
  8. Nursing is not easy money, no gain no pain

    I've held a job ever since I was able to work. I think nursing sucks. The amount we're dumped on by administration, patients, families and other departments, our responsibility, and the detriment this job has on our health does not correlate with o...
  9. Magnet Designation

    I'm going to have to check that out. That would quite an interesting tid-bit of information. Although my hospital just received Magnet shat-us, and we're an University affiliated hospital.
  10. Magnet Designation

    Absolutely not. They just know this hospital is CERTA-FRIED! So it must be good. Now tell that nurse to move her perky ass to the cafeteria and gimme a sammich.
  11. Magnet Designation

    How much cash your facility is willing to pony up. That's my cynical response anyway. Per the ANCC website, a Pathways to Excellence facility "is earned by healthcare organizations that create work environments where nurses can excel in their practic...
  12. Magnet Designation

    If hospitals spent the same amount of time and money they waste getting magnet status, to actually improve working conditions, care would improve, and happy nurses make happy patients. Word spreads fast. They wouldn't even have to spend money adver...
  13. Magnet Designation

    Magnet designation exists for three reasons: 1-For an additional PR marketing tool for the hospital. 2-A way for the ANCC to rake in piles of cash. 3-For management to engage in a self-congratulatory circle jerk while staff nurses are overburdened ...
  14. Hospital Using FirstNet in ER?

    We use it. It's the worst program I've ever used. I, and my coworkers, hate it.
  15. No hospital is going to pay for a volunteer to go school, and some tuition reimbursement programs require you to be in an actual program (each program is different), so they likely would not reimburse you for your pre-requisite corses. With the econo...
