  1. New Nurse BULLIED/UNDERMINED/DRIVEN OUT

    Mistorri replied to Bindy's topic in Nursing Career

    I believe you ran into what I and several others call "Nancy Nurses". Those are the know-it-all's who have to "be the best" and make you feel like you are one inch tall and will never be as good as...

  2. Not getting paid for my RN work

    Mistorri posted a topic in Nurse Management

    I need some advice. I work now for hourly wage for a hospice. I will be on salary at the end of my 90 days probation period. Well, when you are on call all you get is a $50 beeper fee for being on...

  3. Do I LOOK Like A Nurse To You?

    Mistorri replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    :) Your patients should do very well, a good back rub and a few good laughs is probably just the right

  4. Phasing out LPN's.

    Mistorri replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    :) Yes, actually there is more to Rn than Lpn, it is education-wise. Do not get me wrong, Lpn's or Lvn's are very smart and good nurses, but the difference is more education. More courses. Also RN's...

  5. Do I LOOK Like A Nurse To You?

    Mistorri replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: That is so cute. I can see it now! Hey, where have you seen nurses in tight skirts and high heels these days? LOL. We nearly all wear scrubs and sneakers! LOL....

  6. Phasing out LPN's.

    Mistorri replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You are speaking the truth. I do remember being in nursing school many years ago and the instructors taught us the "right way" and told us never to detour from it. But, like you said, "the real...

  7. Do I LOOK Like A Nurse To You?

    Mistorri replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Deanna, what a great nurse you will be! That sense of humor is just what the doctor ordered! It would be fun working with a funny nurse! Not to mention the...

  8. Do I LOOK Like A Nurse To You?

    Mistorri replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I have met nurses who I would never have thought was a nurse if I had met them in civilian clothes! LOL. Yes, we all look alike! LOL. NOT! We don't know from looks what a person does, unless he is a...

  9. Dealing With Aggressive Coworkers

    Mistorri replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like there is a coworker like her in every facility. She does sound like she could become dangerous. Then too, maybe she is trying to sound loud and in control to hide her nervousness. She may...

  10. How much $ do RNs start out at?

    Mistorri replied to Doug85's topic in General Nursing

    Actually we are not paid what we are worth my friend! LOL. Nurses wear many hats and we earn what we make and then some. Nurses are also very under appreciated. Not to discourage you. Who knows, maybe...

  11. using names when charting

    Mistorri replied to djsrn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, some places insist that you do not use names, while others encourage it. So you need to ask the Supervisor for the policy at your place of employment. I know that if there is something that I...

  12. Dr. ripped my co-worker a new one for no reason

    Mistorri replied to pnkprincess's topic in General Nursing

    This is some really sensible advice! Good job! This is all so true. Dealing with rude people comes in all professions. I think the nurse making the call meant well. She was trying to help the family....

  13. Please i need help

    Mistorri replied to Ms.RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree with this, sounds like you are too stressed out. That is normal with a new grad. But, you are a valuable comodity. There are other jobs. I stayed at my first job for 1 month and quit because I...

  14. How do you all like the pain scale???

    Mistorri replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I have problems with the pain scale much as I have seen everyone say on these posts. You have to tell a patient that a "10" on the pain scale is not only the most excruciating pain they have ever...

  15. Deciding on a job in dialysis

    Mistorri replied to JerseePrincess's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Well, either you hate dialysis or love it. No in between. Not many nurses like being on-call. Although there are the exceptions. I personally look for stability, good hours, good pay, and possiblity...

  16. Phasing out LPN's.

    Mistorri replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    remind me to stay out of north carolina! that sounds deadly to me! that is just another reason nurses (rn's and lpn's) need to band together and form unions and quit being the ones who are used and...

  17. How does an atheist deal with death?

    Mistorri replied to jen42's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Everyone has trouble knowing what to believe and question what they believe over and over in this life. Personally, I think Hospice has to be a "calling". Not many nurses want to deal with death that...
