    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I am kidding, Tweety, in a way... I realize it's none of my business what goes on between Clark and HR, but... If Clark's presence is witnessed after HR intervenes (if it ever does), I plan to...

    HomeBound's opposing viewpoint allowed me to argue certain premises which are copied below. HomeBound's portions are in regular font and my responses are bolded. I want to reinforce the fact that I am...

    Thank you, Tenebrae. I don't know if I could not let you know how it turns

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Maybe I'm about to float my own boat, but I find this interesting. If you tire of hearing me pat myself on the back, or pontificate, you're free to change the station. Bill Moyers once said, "A...

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm obsessing, but I'm also enjoying examining this entire scenario as a study in behavior. (I used Daisy's quote because she so nicely bolded Clark's statement.) I have a card up my sleeve...

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Clark said more after this, which I only partially heard. As he stood in the doorway between the back hall and the nurses station, I remember Clark saying something along the lines of, " I just...

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I, as others do, use these forums to assimilate situations and information. I remembered something else I had said after this portion of the incident: "Clark, people who aren't wrong don't need to...

    Thank you for your support, TriciaJ. Every word of your post was pure gold but didn't quote all of it, not wanting to interfere with the flow of the thread. Jason Hiney, who has been a staff nurse,...

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Clark has exhibited a behavior and how HR reacts to this behavior as a precedent determines future acceptable employee behaviors. Let's say for example, Clark continues to be employed at Wrongway....

    What would you do?

    Davey Do replied to Hunt er's topic in General Nursing

    SourLemon's "unrealistic expectations" is spot on. I feel as though I've been blessed and finally found my niche 17 years ago in geriatric psych. If you look at my "specializes in" line, you'll note...

    Advice for Burned Out Nurse: Quit Now or When New Job Offer Comes?

    Davey Do replied to YankeeRose11's topic in General Nursing

    Only you can answer that question, YankeeRose, but I would assume you're asking for feedback. I would suggest you examine your priorities and focus on maintaining that area of your life, be it your...

    Joint Commission JACHO TJC

    Davey Do replied to lpn164's topic in General Nursing

    What’s with “researching” patients before clocking in?! Is this a standard?

    Davey Do replied to NurseOrBust13's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Just: wow. A new nurse at Wrongway once said, "You do your job here and you're a rock star nurse!" If a staff member is chronically 10 minutes late, they're "fashionably late". Those of us who...

    Thank you, Daisy, for the inspiration to recount the details of last night, as I was pulled to the men's psych unit and was busy most of the night. Tonight I'm back on my home unit of geriatric psych,...

    Basically, I asked Clark to leave to I could hear report. This is the third time he has chatted during a shift report and the second time I have asked him not to interrupt. He said, Move closer to...

    The downtown trip has thus begun. Clark has been mentioned previously as the profane CPI instructor. Tonight, at shift report, I requested that Clark, who was trying to chat with one of the nurses,...

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I am reminded of the wise words of a director to staff back around 1987: "When you come through that door, you're 'on'!", comparing our job role to playing a part. He was the same one who called me...
