  1. What patients/behaviors/illnesses/injuries do you HATE the most?

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

    Pt's who are not on hospice. I love hospice.

  2. Guidance for a new case manager?

    enchantmentdis replied to MarcyRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    ALFs are the most difficult facilities to do a good job at--you'll be amazed at how exasperating the staff there are. They have limited medical staf(often an LVN who is never available); the units are...

  3. Would you do this?

    enchantmentdis replied to TX.RN.Shannon's topic in General Nursing

    There is no nursing judgment or using your brain. She calls the doctor for every, stinking little thing; but then cries when the doctor gripes at her. Based on your attitude it looks like this nurse...

  4. Only Charting "The Good Vitals"?

    enchantmentdis replied to whitecat5000's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Really hard to trust these CNAs. I'd report this one to management and insist that the CNAs be inserviced on taking vitals. The nurse is ultimately responsible for everything. I'm glad i no longer...

  5. [So] My hospital has banned disposable wipes...

    enchantmentdis replied to Thunda's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, it's memory care. Why am i not surprised. Those folks crap all over the place and have dementia. Leave acute care,

  6. I'm tired of it!

    enchantmentdis replied to sunnyskies9's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love it when pts can't talk and when they have no

  7. I'm tired of it!

    enchantmentdis replied to sunnyskies9's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I suffered 16 years in acute care, and left finally because of the stuff the OP mentioned. My life is so much better now. I pray i never have to work in a horrible hospital setting

  8. LAZY CNA's!!

    enchantmentdis replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nothing a bunch of us nurses ever said or did changed the CNAs on a floor that i worked on for 8 years---management turned a deaf ear and said, "but you guys make so much more money than they do"....

  9. What NOT to say during an interview

    enchantmentdis replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    you've got to be kidding. anyone who puts her foot in her mouth like that; is a full grown adult; and who knows the things she says and how her behavior impacts other people, deserves to learn from...

  10. Fellow Nurse Goes Off On Me!!!!???

    enchantmentdis replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, well, loose cannons like that have the ability to get a nurse fired. Her reaction was overblown. She should have sucked up having a bad day and not take it out on the outgoing nurse. We can't...

  11. Help, am I overreacting or is this normal???

    enchantmentdis replied to spicy1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Yes i'd be really upset. This has also happened to me in hospitals. I now do hospice, thank heaven. Being a cna for 12 hours would drive me up the wall. Sounds like a horrible place to work. Try to...

  12. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

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

    I had been considering changing my title when i worked in hospitals because i had the darndest time getting my CNAs to do their own work, instead of hinting or begging me to do their job. As an RN i...

  13. types of co-workers/patients to be aware of. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE?

    enchantmentdis replied to tater.jake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ignore that one who said "in which category do you see yourself? I thought your list was rather clever.

  14. i cursed somebody at work, somebody overheard and filed a complaint. what can i do?

  15. How do I report a Doctor to the DEA? Anyone ever do this?

    enchantmentdis replied to nervousinkzoo's topic in General Nursing

    Be prepared to lose your job if you report that doctor. They have ways of finding out who reported them and you could be

  21. What's the task you like doing most on the job?

    enchantmentdis replied to PreStudent101's topic in General Nursing

    I love caring for pt's in their homes instead going to facilities. In a facility i can do my assessment rather quickly--because the dementia patients usually can't answer my questions and the med...

    enchantmentdis replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    enchantmentdis replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    He's tried for months to get his computer business to fly, but the income is not that steady yet, and he wants to be able to contribute to some of our living expenses. Essentially, he uses that check...
