  2. Giving report-rude nurse

    ShayRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a very blunt person. When she started with that crap, I would just sit in stoney silence with "the look" then when she was done I would say, may I finish now, please?:trout: If it continued, I...

  3. starting 7p-7a right after a day shift

    ShayRN replied to Euphrosyne7's topic in General Nursing

    I am a bit of a night owl. So, it is very natural for me to stay up all night. I would personally stay up until 5 or 6, then sleep all day. It depends on what is natural for

  4. Nurse Liason

    ShayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever done this type of job? My hospice is hiring a liason for the local hospital. While I love my job, this would be straight Monday-Friday, 8-4:30. I could actually be home at night...

    ShayRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Information about Parvovirus

    ShayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Any ID nurses out there? I live in a middle class neighborhood, but a couple of streets behind a plaza. There have been dead rats:barf01: found in my back yard, compliments of my 80 pound dog....

  7. Is this career right for me? Sharing some thoughts!

    ShayRN replied to EnduringFaith's topic in General Nursing

    As with any field, there are good and bad nurses. Yes, there are some who bad mouth other nurses. But then there are the ones who make you PROUD to be a nurse. The nurses I work with are that way,...

  8. Ever had an ex-boyfriend, or someone you didn't like as a patient?

    ShayRN replied to preciousbaby621's topic in General Nursing

  10. Complete and total disregard for Visiting Hours! (vent)

    ShayRN replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I think that we will have to agree to disagree on this one. I have a dear friend from nursing school who works Cardiovascular intensive and recovers open hearts. She is a whiz at what she does, but as...

  11. Please help ASAP-THanks

    ShayRN replied to ldarav7's topic in General Nursing

    Why did you become a nurse? I have wanted to be a nurse since I was 9 years old. My aunt was a nurse and it just seemed like it was the coolest thing in the world. What is the most rewarding part...

  12. Complete and total disregard for Visiting Hours! (vent)

    ShayRN replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Anyway, I don't feel that hospitals should limit visiting hours. I always say that the best medicine for my patient is the love of their family. I use to tell spouses that they could stay in the...

    ShayRN replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

  14. Getting Divorced During Nursing School

    ShayRN replied to NBMom1225's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been through a divorce, but want to give you my support. My husband and I have been married for 15 years. I told him I would stand by him through anything, but if he ever cheated on me,...

  15. woman dies in ER waiting room (article)

    ShayRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I think where there is poverty, there are issues. We don't have the illegal issues in Ohio, but I live near a city that had one of the highest per capita homicide rates in the country. It is too...

  16. Nervous about Clincals

    ShayRN replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    As anyone who was an aide prior to becoming a nurse can tell you, your classmates are in for a BIG surprise, but we will just let them think that they know it all, ok As for your nervousness, I...

  17. Is this normal?

    ShayRN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, sounds normal to me, lol. Don't get frustrated, it takes a good year to feel comfortable. Don't burn yourself out in the mean time, remember to take care of the nurse too;) Oh, and Lovenox,...

  18. How would you have dealt with this situation...

    ShayRN replied to 1hotRN601's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, this says as much about your character as the nurse who was nasty to you. You see, it isn't about YOU. It is about the patient. You took her laziness personally and got (rightfully, I...

  19. How would you have dealt with this situation...

    ShayRN replied to 1hotRN601's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY! The thing to keep in mind is that we all have our job duties. That being said, I can do your job, but you cannot do mine.

  20. Help finding a "real" job.

    ShayRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I really hate to tell you this, but a hospital is like a small town. I worked at a very large Level 1 trauma center and everyone knew everything about everybody, lol. The only ones that really...

  21. How would you have dealt with this situation...

    ShayRN replied to 1hotRN601's topic in General Nursing

    I am also one that loves my aides, the ones that are hard workers anyway. I asked one to do post-mortum care and she said, Oh, are you going to stay and help me? I said, SURE, as a matter of fact I...

  22. Nurses and advanced directives

    ShayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are yours in place? Mine are!!! When Terri Schivo was in the news, my mother thought it was "just horrible" that her husband was going "murder" her by not letting them feed her. When I heard that...

  23. Slow Codes

    ShayRN replied to karenna's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your feelings, I really do! As a Hospice nurse, I think the most couragous thing you can do is let nature take its course. Just because we can keep some people alive, doesn't mean that...

  25. Nurse Pride

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

    This brought tears to my eyes. Nurses like this make me PROUD to be in the profession. As for my T-shirt? WHY would I want to be a doctor when I can be a
