  1. Patient's family that lies and blames everything on staff....

    ShayRN replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I sincerely hope your director said "where would you like to go, I would be very happy to make the transportation arrangements for you." Either they would change their minds or go, either way is...

  2. Should Staff At Nursing Homes Be Banned From Having Cell Phones With Cameras?

    ShayRN replied to chase4myheart's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I for one think that cell phones have no place at work. It is a very big pet peeve of mine to see someone looking at their cell phone or checking messages while on the floor. So I guess, yes....

  3. What's The Meanest Thing A Dr. or Co-worker Ever Said To You?

    ShayRN replied to tishirajan's topic in General Nursing

    Not the meanest thing that was ever said to me, but the one that was meant to harass me. When I first graduated I worked at an ECF. Had a nurse call my home at 2:00am (I left at 11:30) to complain...

  4. Getting certified in Hospice, what is the benefit to you?

    ShayRN posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    A co-worker and I were talking the other night about taking the test for our certification. What is the benefit to being certified? I see the test cost almost 400.00 to take, do you get a raise if...

    ShayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    not doing a blessed thing on your day off? I worked a 5 day stretch that was just awful. We were short-staffed and had really sick patients and needy families. Besides, I think I cleaned up more poop...

  6. How often do couples die within days of each other?

    ShayRN replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just this week I admitted a gentleman who lost his wife at our facility on 7/4. He told his family that he didn't want to live without her and died hours after her

  7. I do not care anymore

    ShayRN replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask if there is anyway you can switch specialties. Sometimes a change of scenery will do the trick. Good luck. Also, add me to the list of party goers at the pool party,

  8. Positive things you'd like to say to your workmates, but sometimes forget.....

    ShayRN replied to regularRN's topic in General Nursing

    TO night turn, thank you for passing on the compliment my patient's family gave me after I left. Made the whole night worth

    ShayRN replied to regularRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for coming in with a positive attitude. Thank you for always being there for me, when I am busy, overwhelmed or just need a shoulder to cry on. Thank you for making my calls, doing my...

  12. Question about raises

    ShayRN replied to mrscoozy's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital always gave us a raise to compensate for what the grads were getting. SO if they are being hired at 20.00 an hour and I was making 19.70 they would increase my pay to

  13. I guess I'm too HOT to be a nurse.

    ShayRN replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in corrections I had an inmate try to hit on me. In the felony pod, for crikey sakes. I looked at him, dead in the eye and said "really, if I was going to cheat on my husband, do you...

  14. This was surprising

    ShayRN replied to voraciousj's topic in General Nursing

    I am the same way with tests. Almost always the first one done. I don't ever second guess my answers, I figure either I know it or I don't. Also, I am a very fast reader, can finish a question and...

  15. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    ShayRN replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is so much easier to be kind, it really is. AND, it isn't that difficult. I don't understand people who work in healthcare and are just plain nasty. I wouldn't report her for her behavior but...

  16. Debate- End of Life

    ShayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Please, please play nice. I don't want this shut down. Seems we have many different opinions on end of life care vrs. treatment. Now, I want to say in my own family we had a miracle. My cousin was 19...

    ShayRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    If you call for John Smith and I tell you I don't have a John Smith in the facility, don't call back 4 times with 4 different people asking the same question. His name isn't Smith, his name is John...

  21. A lifestyle of a Nurse

    ShayRN replied to Ronald Harris's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I don't completely understand what your asking. Money lifestyle, its ok. Life outside of work is a bit different for me in that I work second shift. So I am often awake when most of my...

  22. Oh my gosh the "dime a dozen" thing is happening again.

    ShayRN replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing
