  3. I had my day in court

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your absolutely right. The code summary was printed out that night. Some of it was mounted on strip paper, the rest of it seemed to have disappeared. Even worse, what was mounted has faded over...

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    ShayRN replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    ShayRN replied to Amethyst Veralyn's topic in General Nursing

  11. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    ShayRN replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    This just happened yesterday. I was in the bathroom in a patient's room washing my hands and the door slammed shut on me. Not a easy gentle shut, or the wind pushing it shut, but slammed. I had...

    ShayRN replied to leprdnurse's topic in General Nursing

  15. Do Nurses Live in Fear of Being Fired???

    ShayRN replied to WVStarFish's topic in General Nursing

    My experience has been just the opposite. Managers don't wan't to fire anyone. Lazy people, the ones who call off all the time, gruff nurses. They all get to stay because they are a warm body to...

    Can't go into details for another couple weeks or so, but I have to go to court next week. This was always my biggest fear about becoming a nurse. Just keep me in your prayers and if you don't pray,...

    ShayRN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

  19. Hospital bullies affect patient safety

    ShayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

  20. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    ShayRN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    BULL PUCKY! There is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER an excuse to say that about someone. I don't care if they can hear you or not, because even if they can't hear you that attitude is conveyed one way...

    ShayRN replied to zilla704's topic in General Nursing

    I love my aides. I buy them dinner at least once a week and have taken them out to lunch before work. There are times I would have sunk without their help. Good aides are hard to find, great ones...

  22. Hospital bullies affect patient safety

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    ShayRN replied to bigq2000's topic in General Nursing
