  1. What is a real nurse?????

    Mijourney replied to duckie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. What I resent more is the fact that this nurse's attitude implies that medications and treatments are not vital to a patient's care. Those of you who are nurses know that whenever nurses are...

  2. i need some feedback regarding h.s. care.

    Mijourney replied to melodebbz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Yes, anything that helps increase a patient's level of comfort would help satisfaction. But, why just at night? The provision of comfort measures may be a good time to teach or instruct the...

  3. Are you ashamed of being a nurse?

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi all. Thanks for your frank responses. It's been over a year since my last post. Despite the increasing intensity of the nursing shortage and all of the changes that are taking place in health...

  4. Unprofessional Behavior and Consequences?

    Mijourney replied to Julie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi Julie. I agree with the previous posters. Unfortunately, this nurse may have seen you as an easy target because you are new to the job and the profession. That's no excuse for her trying to...

  5. Nurses.... Our Own Worst Enemies??

    Mijourney replied to MaineNurse67's topic in General Nursing

    Essarge, I liked your thoughtful comments. Hopefully reading this bb will help reduce any reality shock that you may experience once you become licensed as a nurse. Tim, welcome to the bb. My...

  6. Listen, Nurse

    Mijourney replied to panda_181's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. It was not my intention to be condenscending toward panda for posting that very pertinent poem. If the poem is written by a family member or patient, it's not my intention to belittle their point...

  7. Believe it or NOT...IV stories

    Mijourney replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi imn2. Yes, yes. I've encountered that too. MOM drawn up in a syringe. To be given where? Well, the new grad left the needle on the syringe as she was going into the patient room, so you got it!...

  8. Another charge nurse question...

    Mijourney replied to nanablue2's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Yes, being in charge can frequently turn into an ugly scene. I agree with suggestions of the previous posters. I think the biggest thing in the mess is the attitude of the charge nurse. There's...

  9. Listen, Nurse

    Mijourney replied to panda_181's topic in General Nursing

    Frustrated, the powers to be only want you to function like a superwoman or superman, in my opinion. They are unable to separate reality from fiction. They and their out of touch consultants think...

  10. bed management

    Mijourney replied to DLOCKA's topic in General Nursing

    Hi DLOCKA. I'm curious. Does your bed management department work out of the emergency room department? Will it be staffed by nurses or other staff or a combination of both? I don't know about the...

  11. Listen, Nurse

    Mijourney replied to panda_181's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. This very pertinent poem helps put the focus of our work or what should be the focus in perspective. This was and still is the basis for my work at the bedside. It should be the focus of...

  12. Men vs. Women

    Mijourney replied to BlueBear's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Very excellent, valid points, kday. Independence is also important to many women, ergo, home health. In fact, I went from critical care to home health. Of course, the pace is variable which is...

  13. Cardiology VS med surg

    Mijourney replied to erbs's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I agree with the previous posters. Erbs, my experience has been that many medical patients qualify to be on cardiac floors. In fact, hospitals that I've worked in use telemetry on both...

  14. Opinions on this article????

    Mijourney replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Everyone, well said! Many valid points. Basic paternalistic or maternalistic measures will not solely address problems in any field. It is very easy to point fingers, and I acknowledge that I do...

  15. Wealthy Kansas City Pharmacist dilutes Cancer patients IV Chemo drugs!

    Mijourney replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi. I saw this on the news last night. I've only got two words to describe the behavior of this pharmacist. Greedy and callous. My prayers are with the patients and families who received the...

  16. How do you deal with lazy co-workers?

    Mijourney replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    Hi kaknurse. I'm sorry you're feeling so much pressure in your job. It seems to be par for the course everywhere as health care goes through trials and tribulations. I do hope that you are able to...

  17. Seniority or Job knowledge and experience!! Who should get the job??

    Mijourney replied to Chuckie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Rather difficult question Chuckie. I guess I would need to know if the job opening was for a promotion or lateral move. I agree with fiestynurse in her assessments. But, I have to tell you that...

  18. Need help in persuading students to become nurses

    Mijourney replied to eventsnyc's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi Wildtime. I appreciate you clarifying your comments. And yes, I entered nursing as a calling, but sometimes during my career, my eyes were opened. I think in this particular case, we both should...

  19. Need help in persuading students to become nurses

    Mijourney replied to eventsnyc's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi Wildtime. Patronizing those of us who indicate that we entered nursing as a calling does not make your point of view any more or less significant than ours. I would dare say that every human...

  20. Need help in persuading students to become nurses

    Mijourney replied to eventsnyc's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi eventsync. As you may know, only around 50% of all nurses recommend nursing as a career. Only a small percentage of nurses who would recommend nursing are true activists in the profession. I...

  21. Shortcuts

    Mijourney replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I feel that another way of managing your workload competently is to engage friends or family, if possible, in assisting with patient care. Far too often, we let friends and family "visit" instead...

  22. How do you measure success?

    Mijourney posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi. This bb includes the comments of people who come into the helping professions for different reasons. I would like to know how you all measure success in your work? It may not be any one thing...

  23. Nurses as independent contractors...

    Mijourney replied to NurseMark's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Charles. It's great that can post how satisfied you are with your decision to become an independent practitioner. I think that many of us need to read about happy or satisfied nurses as an antidote...

  24. Dream Job

    Mijourney replied to kjmta57's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I could get satisfaction out of a job where ill or injured people were not so demanding and would accept much of the responsibility and accountability for the predicament they find themselves in....

  25. Here is an idea for you

    Mijourney replied to Navy Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi mustangsheba. I've only got a little time before retiring for the night, but I felt your post was well worth responding to. Like the previous poster indicated, you offer a great solution for those...
