    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This quote reminds me of what my supervisor, Margie, at Wrongway, said when she was one of a few who scheduled staff one weekend. I was the RN on geriatric psych and contacted the house sup when...

    How to Successfully Advocate for Better Staffing

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Au contraire mon frere! Your premise (opinion) was immediately backed by the fact that SilverBells has authored numerous threads on the shortcomings of her current place of work. However, I am...

    How to Successfully Advocate for Better Staffing

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    How to spot a bad nurse

    Davey Do replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I liked and agree with your entire post, nursej, but this stood out to me: In one NS position I was interviewed and hired on the spot by a physician, the medical director, was for naught. The...

    Increased Anxiety Before Work

    Davey Do replied to flower_n_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Well written posts, flower_n_snow, for I truly sensed your pain. I also sense you're an artist, of sorts, who is attempting to manipulate their media to achieve a desired outcome. Any advice...

    Have you ever emulated a coworker in order to succeed with a patient?

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The vast majority of my dealings with difficult patients I've learned from those who have gone before me, taking an eclectic approach. So as not to be seen as placating or praying a part- which...

    Any Nurses In Long Term Care Setting?
