   mojitos2go replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

   You must feel like you are in a nightmare that won't end. I am sorry for your pain and the management team's soul-less behavior. How do these folks sleep at night or even get into nursing? The PTB...

   mojitos2go replied to luvmyhubbybunches's topic in General Nursing

   Good Lord! The nurse seemed rather callous telling you, a nurse, that you have a mass without an explanation from the provider. Aye, yaye, yaye. Don't we tend to think of the worse case scenario when...

   mojitos2go replied to Chin up's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Union Busting 101. Administration loves to divide and conquer. The public is clueless unless they have a family member or friend in the biz. Thanks for the reply,

    mojitos2go replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I had my daughter, the staff knew I was a nurse from the facesheet info. The poor young nurse was so nervous while starting an IV, I told her, "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies!"...

14. Nurses receiving poor care....

    mojitos2go replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Mom is a nurse and she stays the night," was probably the first part of the shift report. Many moons ago, I walked into my then 6 yo's room; she screamed at a nurse using only a kelly clamp during a...
