  1. Want to leave Bedside. What are my options?

    enchantmentdis replied to care2share's topic in Nursing Career

    Try hospice. It's so much better than acute care. You're on your own the whole day, and no annoying co-workers or management to hover around you. You don't have to watch the tele tech file their nails...

  2. Why did you become a nurse?

    enchantmentdis replied to Valerie99's topic in General Nursing

    I had to be talked into it by a former high school counselor. I was a waitress, medical assistant, optometric assistant prior to nursing, while taking classes at community colleges and a university....

  3. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    enchantmentdis replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Totally creepy when you see an elderly, bony dying patient with a penile implant or breast implant and the family says "oh yeah, they got that in the

  4. i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

    enchantmentdis replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are lucky to have a husband who will let you work part time. My first husband made plenty of money but insisted I work as a nurse. And my second husband can't find a job after not working for 15...

  5. i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

    enchantmentdis replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, you are so lucky. I wish I had a husband who would allow me to stay home and not have to work as a nurse. I resent women who don't have to work, especially as nurses. Once you do go back to work...

  6. New TV Show- Nurse Nation on MTV

    enchantmentdis replied to kingofthekicks20's topic in Travel

    If they have young, gorgeous nurses wearing size 2 scrubs, fake nails, plumped up lips, and make up a la Tammy Faye Baker on the show wearing size 2 scrubs, then people will watch. Older or overweight...

  7. Nursing specialty that requires minimum patient contact and best hours?

    enchantmentdis replied to tsipareht's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eeeeexactly! My first job in acute care was horrifying; there was no back-up and nurses there were backstabbing witches. So, when I got fired for not calling the code team on an 98 year old man and he...

  8. How many admissions & visits in an 8 hour shift?

    enchantmentdis replied to hospicechpn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I started a new hospice case management job about two months ago. I am just getting used to the routine visit computer documentation. We use Allscripts too. Our orientation (3 new RNs) consisted of...

  9. What are the nurses' protection against patient accusations?

    enchantmentdis replied to kgran's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Remember, the boards of nursing in each state are for the patient, not for the nurses. There is no protection for nurses. Unless you pay for a high priced lawyer. And, unions almost always take the...

  10. Managers that don't like you.....ever been there?

    enchantmentdis replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep. I have been in the same position as the OP. I had a great job for 3 years; great reviews from my manager, no write ups; and because of that, i absolutely loved going to work. In comes a new...

  11. Does your SO understand job stress?

    enchantmentdis replied to Tobygo2's topic in General Nursing

    My husband gets it but does not want anyone to complain longer than a few minutes. He feels very guilty and rushed to get a job now at 55 years old. Bear in mind, he has not worked outside of the home...

  13. Elderly coworkers becoming a burden.

    enchantmentdis replied to o3lissao's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My guess is that management already knows. How could they not and they should be ashamed of themselves for putting other nurses in the role of babysitter an putting patient's lives in danger. Has this...

  14. Ever have a patient complain about you?

    enchantmentdis replied to love lilacs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The husband of one patient reported me to management because she thought I was going to steal from her because I complimented her choice of furnishings. Another reported that I paid more attention to...

  15. Undermined by administration

    enchantmentdis replied to savoytruffle's topic in Nurse Management

    Wait, she she's in charge of YOU? Tread lightly

  16. Undermined by administration

    enchantmentdis replied to savoytruffle's topic in Nurse Management

    Why not just take her aside and explain what you expect from her. It's as simple as

  17. A spouse that just doesn't get it.

    enchantmentdis replied to megkat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To the OP: Just wait until you are working as a nurse. He won't understand how hard it is then either. He will shrug it off. One of my marriages was ruined by my nursing career. I needed my husband to...

  21. Full Code Hospice Pt Acute Change in Condition...What to Do?

    enchantmentdis replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The patient can be a full code because hospices do not turn down the money that comes with signing on a patient who still wants to be a full

  22. Going to Facilities

    enchantmentdis replied to idobelieve's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    They never call the doctor themselves and the most phone calls we get from facility staff are for patient

  24. *Desperately need some advice - I hate my new job*

    enchantmentdis replied to shellybean's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like the OP may be pregant, or suffering PMS? That may be the reason for the tears/vomiting. Or she may be

  25. Need to vent...

    enchantmentdis replied to strings85's topic in Men in Nursing

    You do have a good point. However, do you think this nurse deliberately opened the curtain each time the op closed it? Hmmmmm? Sounds a bit strange to
