  1. Am I wrong here?

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is my point. From 4pm-11pm (when she gets there) I along with the other RN on that night do all this PLUS our nursing responsibilities, plus answer phones and take off orders. I don't really...

  2. All floor nurses... please help me!

    ShayRN replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, I would never do that to someone. Even if another person had 5 patients, she would have gotten the next admit. With Jacho standards on discharges being what they are today, a discharge can be...

    ShayRN replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    I think everyone here has been very, very hard on student with no life. She came to vent her frustration and has been repeatly attacked. If all she says is true and this student is allowed to pass...

  6. Will somebody PLEASE tell these doctors....

    ShayRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately this is the way life is right now. With lawsuit crazy people you HAVE to be proactive when an unknown person comes on the floor digging through charts. I can hear the inquirys now......

  7. Bowel movements and the hospice patient

    ShayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    The midnight nurse and I had a debate the other night, not a fight, a debate. She came from an intensive care unit recently and I think she still has the acute care mentality, she thinks I am too...

  9. Registered Nurse bring home pay (after malpractice, etc)

    ShayRN replied to WorriedStudent's topic in General Nursing

  10. Patient family issues

    ShayRN replied to foxc1121's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice patients live and function at home independently for monthes on morphine sulfate. You blame the morphine for the patient being unconsious? Not the brain cancer/lung cancer/pancreatic cancer...

  12. She did not just say that . . .

    ShayRN replied to Flagellum Dei's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you can explain to the teacher that would be like saying "I work for your parents to teach you math" See if she gets it then, lol. Oh, but to answer your question, I tell my 6 and 8 year old...

  13. MORPHINE and Dying Patients

    ShayRN replied to constantlylearning's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a Hospice nurse over a year now and have been a part of literally a hundred deaths. I have never, never, never seen morphine kill someone. I have, however, seen it make people comfortable...

    Happy Thanksgiving all! I am having dinner at my house this year. With 20 people, including my in-laws and a nurse I work with who has no family near. Love them all to

  15. The most expensive, silly or cheap gifts you received from your hospital

    ShayRN replied to Shantas's topic in General Nursing

    The best was small bottles of wine and a plate of homemade cookies from my manager on a Tele unit. The worst was last year, my boss wrote on the dry erase board, Merry Christmas and a Happy New...

  17. they cancelled my health insurance (I just had surgery)

    ShayRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I would also demand a copy of the letter that the insurance company claims my employer sent them. The one dated Nov. 6 stating my insurance was cancelled the month of Sept. I mean, that just...

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

  23. they cancelled my health insurance (I just had surgery)

    ShayRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    How can they cancel your insurance after the fact? Something sounds fishy to me. I think you need to dig

  24. Important topic on the Polls board regarding overtime

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the thing people fail to realize is that your employer cannot just issue a blanket statement like they will no longer be paying overtime. If you work it, they have an obligation to pay you....
