  1. Is The Culture of Nursing Improving?

    WIN007 replied to carolc415's topic in General Nursing

    yes, and I agree the culture dysfunctional. There's just too many people even here , well over 50% that have had a negative experience. that's way too high. I do agree it comes from the leadership;...

  2. Quit nursing school, now what?

    WIN007 replied to Wolfless's topic in General Students

    My .02 and that's what it is. First, your mind will play tricks with you on what you should have could have, etc. But you made your decision and as you say you thought about it hard before you did...

  3. Whoever invented scrubs, standup!

    WIN007 replied to OldMareLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Same here except they are ceil blue or royal with a white lab coat. I skip the teddy bears and the hot orange stuff and the ever more daring bust gathered skin tight ones too. Notice you don't see...

  4. maybe nursing is not for me

    WIN007 replied to RN_lor's topic in General Nursing

    It will get better as you are in it longer. But the anxiety will not completely go away in six months or even two years because there will be things you haven't seen or done for a long time yet and a...

  5. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    WIN007 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    If she is, it could well be to collect evidence against you. You're not anonymous here, trust me. Please, for the love of Jesus, get a lawyer for your own protection who can advise you on these...

  6. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    WIN007 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    In a situation like that, mark my words, you can't afford NOT to have a lawyer. Most lawyers will work out a payment plan with you. And ladies and gentlemen, if you don't have malpractice insurance,...

  7. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    WIN007 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    By the sounds of her management it sure seems like she'd be out a job if she refused the patient load as well. In theory better to do that than to lose your license or God forbid cause someone harm....

  8. My reality of becoming an RN

    WIN007 replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    I do wish you the very best. I am a second career nurse too and I left floor nursing voluntarily but for different reasons not the least of which was , yes, I earn more with a lot less aggrevation....

    WIN007 replied to independ3nt's topic in Patient Medications

    Could someone on a different shift pushed a

  10. CouId possibly work as an CNA w/RN license?

    WIN007 replied to xoNurseRNxo's topic in Retired Nurses

    Good advice in entirety. Now as never before networking is essential for employment. I've gotten near all my work for the past ten years in knowing someone. It also gives you the BIG advantage of...

  11. Right To Work States, hospitals are unionizing

    WIN007 replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Truly I think they're smart. And just hear me out on this. Unionized hospitals get better ratings from patients, typically have better performance indicators and certainly have better nurse...

  12. Would you ever be a scab?

    WIN007 replied to klone's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    They'll no doubt know because these things make the headlines and if the network replaces you all with temps or sometihng and you're from that healthcare network and looking for work they'll likely...

  13. Would you ever be a scab?

    WIN007 replied to klone's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Well said! There's professions that absolutely make sense to unionize because inherently for profit healthcare is a conflict of interest with safety. It protects the staff AND the patients and...

  14. Would you ever be a scab?

    WIN007 replied to klone's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yeah, I lived in the south too which has always been the cradle of the best and of the worst to my thinking. The worst iof the anti-labor sentiments that come from there still. maybe not...

  15. What's the nicest thing a patient has done for you?

    WIN007 replied to Cyndi13's topic in General Nursing

  16. What's the nicest thing a patient has done for you?

    WIN007 replied to Cyndi13's topic in General Nursing

    for me it was always hands down the patients that made it worthwhile. of course we weren't allowed to accept gifts. The post discharge letters and calls from patients were my dearest gifts by far....

  17. Do You Hate Being A Nurse?

    WIN007 replied to ButterPeacanRican's topic in General Nursing

    that was certainly my life when I was a floor nurse. I miss the patients but not the

  18. Do You Hate Being A Nurse?

    WIN007 replied to ButterPeacanRican's topic in General Nursing

    It is but it's also a reflection of what's already happened to everyone else. Auto workers, Steel workers, high tech workers, engineers, architects, now teachers and state and federal workers. I'm a...

  19. Do You Hate Being A Nurse?

    WIN007 replied to ButterPeacanRican's topic in General Nursing

    Don't hold your breath is my suggestion. The competition for fewer and fewer people with premium health care plans and the competition among providers is so huge now. That's why they started the...

  20. What are things that you always need? Graduation gift ideas...

    WIN007 replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Nursing

    For any nurse: Starbucks gift cards! Godsend!

  21. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. I worked in Canada a few years in the 90's. At the time the US economy was doing fabulously, President Clinton had closed the deficits and created 23 million private sector jobs and...

  22. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Wow.. you had me about the middle class being raped to pay for the health care of people below AND definitely ABOVE us too.. and with the preventative stuff. Now you just lost me. I don't know what...

  23. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Actually single payer systems are LESS costly. They allow for more clinicians in the hospitals and less bureacrats who do nothing but handle the details of managing 900 different types of insurance...

  24. Comments about personal appearance

    WIN007 replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I think it's just a reflection of the rest of our society rather than anything overly personal to you.. People ARE rude; the less educated the more so it seems. The things people do all the...

  25. Is it true that they are trying to eliminate LPN's?

    WIN007 replied to blessnme's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's been true to my experience, yes. Of course it's also true to my experience that they're trying to get rid of as many RN's as they can too either with technology, by letting a good chunk of work...
