  1. Nursing Diagnoses: Useless Statements secondary to Professional Insecurity

    Fribblet posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I vowed upon my graduation from nursing school (second semester into nursing school really. I skipped graduation.) that I would devote my career to abolishing the utterly useless institutions of NIC,...

  2. Magnet Designation

    Fribblet posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  3. Bedside Reporting starting Monday :(((

    Fribblet replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    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...

  4. Magnet Hospitals

    Fribblet replied to Carrie_MTC's topic in General Nursing

    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

  5. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    Fribblet posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone else hate them as much as I do? That stupid jingle: "You're a nurse. You make a difference." I mean, could it be more corny and condescending? Also, why is Johnson & Johnson...

  6. Nurse's getting younger

    Fribblet replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    *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...

  8. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Fribblet replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. What exactly is it that belongs to the nurse that's getting

  10. Magnet Designation

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  11. Nursing is not easy money, no gain no pain

    Fribblet replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  12. Magnet Designation

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    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

  13. Magnet Designation

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    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

  14. Magnet Designation

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  15. Magnet Designation

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  16. Hospital Using FirstNet in ER?

    We use it. It's the worst program I've ever used. I, and my coworkers, hate

  17. Is their a way i can get a hospital to pay for nursing school

    Fribblet replied to cellphone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  18. Why Nursing staff harm thier charges??

    Fribblet replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    Why u no ask them? I no harm

  19. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    Fribblet replied to NickB's topic in Emergency

    Lol. "drug attic". Actually, Nick, the only thing that's obvious is that YOU are offended. Generally speaking, I couldn't care less about your experience at some unnamed ER, or what you think about...

  20. Alas...bedbugs-precautions??

    Fribblet replied to vanburbian's topic in Emergency

    Once you've brought those suckers into your home they are almost impossible to get rid of. The easiest way to rid your home of bedbugs is to burn it to the ground. Those suckers can live for months...

  21. How honest are you?

    Fribblet replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    The ones who are complaining the loudest are usually the ones who have no business being in the ER for their non-emergency. I remind them that they are free to leave at anytime and to "just sign here,...

  23. Why does everyone seem to want to work L&D?

    Fribblet replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Belch. Gross. I couldn't get out of my OB rotation fast enough. I also couldn't say "pushpushpushpushpushpushpush!" 6000 times a day and stay sane. :) It is very popular, but I can't figure out why...

  24. Am i the only crazy one who feels this way?

    Fribblet replied to newnurse012's topic in General Nursing
