    Disrespect & Profanity

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

    Thank you for the information on the various cultures, Tenebrae, I did not know those things. Yeah, to me, your response came back rather cavalier. I guess saying something like, "I'm sorry if you...

    Sociopathic Staff

    Davey Do posted a topic in General Nursing

    Disrespect & Profanity

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

    Not using profanity does have its advantages. I was reminded of this when I advised in another thread of termination over resignation: Back in '92, I was terminated from a position due to arguing with...

    Disrespect & Profanity

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

    This is a fine line, for I agree/disagree with both of you and respect your opinions. And if we worked side by side, I would understand if you chose to or not to use profanity in a given situation....

    Disrespect & Profanity

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

    In intense situations, for wake up calls, shock value, I can see where profanity has its place, Emergent. But, c'mon now- in a relatively relaxed professional setting, undergoing your run-of-the-mill...

    Agency question

    Davey Do replied to jmmh1991's topic in General Nursing

    It would be best to consult with your employer's HR department, jmmh. Some restrictions do apply. At Wrongway, I've not known nurses to work both for the facility and the agency, but other staff...

    What would you do?

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

    That is one tough question to answer, Hunter. I have an appreciation for your history, seeking to find a value in your life, and your method of gathering data. Money is not all that important to me,...
