    The sloppy image of nurses today

    Thrown From the Tower!!

    OCNRN63 replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The OP said she didn't qualify for FMLA, so either she hasn't worked long enough to be eligible for it, or her medical issues are not qualifying illnesses to make her eligible for it. If her boss is...

    Thrown From the Tower!!

    OCNRN63 replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the reason that your coworkers told you your tardiness and absences weren't a problem is because they didn't want to get into conflict with you, OP. It doesn't really matter what they think,...

    Do you go to work with parabens on you?

    OCNRN63 replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    When I was working, you bet I did. In fact, I slathered them on right before I left for

    Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    OCNRN63 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I was a student (early->mid 80s) we were warned at the beginning that lab coats were to be no longer than hip length. Those short white coats still look dorky to me. I never knew what the...

    Whenever someone drags out the hackneyed "NETY" I not only stop reading, I consider anything s/he has to say to be NWOT. (There's one for you..."Not Worthy Of My

    Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    OCNRN63 replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, that co-worker asked you for forgiveness. This was an opportunity for you to be the bigger person and extend it to her. Frankly, I feel sorry for her. We all will have days that we will...

    OCNRN63 replied to RNEducator8056's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure if that was a typo, RNEducator, but it's "manic," not "maniac." Employers are required to make reasonable accommodations for employees with qualifying disabilities. If co-workers are...

    Nurse Bullying

    OCNRN63 replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If only there were more like you. It seems many of the students/new grads today expect staff nurses to be the milk of human compassion, rather than people who have bad days/family problems just like...

    Newer RN being treated poorly by Coworker(s)

    OCNRN63 replied to TaylorBean's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What struck me was that you kept a tally of how many times this nurse snapped at you, or that nurse rolled her eyes at you, etc. ICU, as I'm sure you're aware, is one of those pressure cooker areas....

    OCNRN63 replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, not so much. I couldn't give three flips what my co-workers look like. They may be younger, thinner, and prettier, but I'll take older, wiser, and more experienced every day. I've worked...

    Getting Our Egos Out of the Hierarchy!

    OCNRN63 replied to BethBoynton's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. These are the same people who will argue with the nurse giving the pre-op instructions, "I can't have anything to eat after midnight? That's ridiculous! Don't you have medication for nausea so I...

    What to do about coworker not pulling her weight

    OCNRN63 replied to guest947568's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, no, no, no, no...he's the one who is putting himself in a bind if he chooses to play Casper Milquetoast and allow a few bad actors to make a good employee look for work

    OCNRN63 replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with Celtic Goddess. The OP is the one who fits the description of being a bully. OP, good luck with getting the rest of the staff to feel they can call you a trusted co-worker. A mature...

    OCNRN63 replied to BethBoynton's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with others. In fact, a doc I know has this on his/her FB page...I think it's funny. We've all had that patient or family who drove us crazy with printouts from WebMD and the like. It's not...
