  1. Family claims hospital's staff shortage responsible for fatal crash

    Futterwacken replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

  2. Rude/ Inconsiderate nurses during clinicals

    Futterwacken replied to Nonetheless's topic in General Students

    Op, not to say that they're no rude nurses out there, but come back and read your post after you've worked as a nurse for at least 2 years- hopefully in a teaching

  3. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Futterwacken replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Absolutely OP! After working rehab for 3+ years, I'm finding it increasingly hard not to feel resentful towards my obese pt's. A lot of it has to do with management's inadequate staffing and lack of...

  4. Anyone transitioned from Acute Rehab to Med Surg??

    Futterwacken posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I've been working for about three years in various rehab settings. I started out out in an LTC, then to an acute rehab floor in a hospital then to a spinal cord injury unit. I've picked up a decent...

  5. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    Futterwacken replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

  6. Tired of it all

    Futterwacken replied to DSkelton711's topic in General Nursing

    Futterwacken replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

  9. Tampa/St. Pete New Grads-where are the jobs @??

    Futterwacken posted a topic in Florida Nursing

  10. how can these schools get away with SCAMMING people?

    Futterwacken replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Nurses protest at HCA Largo Medical Center

    Futterwacken replied to VU RN BSN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I can honestly say that I applied for a job there this summer- I guess a new grad RN isn't good enough for LMC, but an unsafe pt ratio is. Oh

  12. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    Futterwacken replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

  16. Pct refused delegation

    Futterwacken replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    Friday my manager called me on the phone and asked me about the situation. She said, "Deana (name changed) says you won't change patients or empty colostomies because it makes you vomit." Admittedly...

  17. Job posting- "Must not be overweight"

    Futterwacken replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Not on the same level of ridiculous as the posting, but I have seen job listings for flight nurses that list a healthy BMI as a

  18. Sympathy strike...would you do it??

    Futterwacken replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    My intent was not to trivialize anything or anyone- I apologize if it was perceived that way. But let's not lose focus here; if the other place doesn't succeed... your 'ideal work place' won't be so...

  19. Sympathy strike...would you do it??

    Futterwacken replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then...

    Futterwacken replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  24. So Sick of Pushy Patients and Verbal Abuse

    Futterwacken replied to applesRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For those of you who missed it on the view the other day. Perfect example of an organization that refuses to let their 'customers' walk all over them. Not that hard is
