  1. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for your opinions. You've all made good points for me to think about and I've learned quite a bit from you. Thanks again, I appreciate

  2. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most of the nurses I speak with are nice. A few are kind of rude, but not enough for me to really care. Today, the ED was beyond busy. I don't ever expect the nurses to chat with me or anything. I...

  3. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've received enough advice to know what needs to be done if it happens again and I do appreciate all of those who offered advice based on my question. I'm so thankful that 99% of the nurses I work...

  4. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You really don't get it, actually I don't think you care to get it. You'd rather just assume the nurse was in the right and we don't know what we're doing. You don't know how to do my job and you...

    That's a good point. Thank

  6. What do ED nurses need from volunteers?

    happy2learn replied to medicinelover's topic in Emergency

    Thats a good point. I'm not in a peds area, but parents do bring their children at times. We buy coloring books then make copies of the pages. We give these to kids as soon as we spot them. It helps...

  7. So ready to throw in the towel and it makes me sad...

    happy2learn replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Honey, you had one heck of a day, and you made it through. Good for you. Your quote above is what stood out to me the most. If your work environment is bothering you to the point that it brings you to...

  8. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    happy2learn replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your wife is just concerned that you'll choose a career you don't like and end up unhappy. My hubby started school for forensic science. He had 1 year left to finish his Bachelor's, but I...

  10. LVN's how much you make in 2010?

    happy2learn replied to Sophiamez's topic in California Nursing

    I have a friend who is an LPN. She makes $22 hr. She also works nights on the weekends so she gets a shift differential. Did you try looking on salary.com or

  11. Would like to make a Spanish wiki-like web site for nurses. How?

    happy2learn replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if they make an app for iPhone or Android for something like

    No problem. I know you're just trying to make sure I don't violate HIPAA. I appreciate

  13. What do ED nurses need from volunteers?

    happy2learn replied to medicinelover's topic in Emergency

    I'm not allowed to take vitals. I also can't get them water (for the reasons someone mentioned above), I have to show them where the water fountain is. I'm actually not allowed to get them blankets....

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not accessing their medical chart. It's in the ED log, for why they came in. Yes, I have to access it when I escort them back or if I take a message back. I look at why they came in, and I'm...

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't meaning to "school" you on it and I'm sorry if it came across that way. I did mentioned that they weren't satisfied, which I had thought implied they were complaining. I appreciate your...

  16. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This particular situation I was a witness to. I was right next to my coworker when it happened and the nurse did make eye contact with me a few times, but her words were not directed at me. My...

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    They were complaining about their care, which is why I gave them the number. That's what it's there for. I don't just offer the patients relations number for no

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand. I do agree with you. I've met plenty of those types of

  19. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    It's neither. I was just curious how other nurses other look at the situation. That's it. No hidden motive to attack someone or anything. I assume they did the right thing because this is a well known...

  20. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1. I'm not oversensitive or thin-skinned. I really don't care what people think of me. I know I'm a good person and that's all that matters. I just don't think it's right for someone to be talked down...

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand what some of you are trying to say with the "horizontal or lateral violence." But I do agree that some of it is a bit

  22. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You obviously did not read through everything or you really didn't understand everything. Otherwise you wouldn't be going off on this tangent. I'm going to explain the POLICY AND PROCEDURES OF THE...

  23. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We have to. I can't not ask the nurse. It's hospital policy. I have to ask the nurse if a patient can have visitors. That's the job. We can't just bring them back. There is no way around it. If I...

  24. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i don't know how asking for advice on here is the same as trying to get someone to "do" something about the nurse. how are people through the internet going to help me do something? i have to do...

  25. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, this is not the most shocking thing I have seen here. I've seen a coworker get assaulted and plenty get swung at and I've seen security pull out their guns. I've seen plenty of leather restraints...
