  1. NJ AHA takes aim at physicians now

    Hi rncountry. Is this greed vs. greed or greed vs. need? The AHA and AMA deserve each other. Instead of complaining about LOS, why don't they complain about the need to beef up nursing services and...
  2. IS THIS YOU?

    Ditto to most of the previous posts, and I also have a problem with the doctors seeing patients without washing their hands before and after. I wasn't aware that they were anointed as germ
  3. Embarassing question to all experienced nurses.

    Hi micknmel. Uh, you may want to bring your antiemetics to school as back up if they don't make you drowsy. You can consider bringing a can of lysol, but you have to be tactful about when and where...
  4. How much further ahead of we than we were in 1887?

    Oh well, so much for history not repeating itself! rncountry, the last few sentences in your post have particular relevance with me, because I have had many friends and acquaintances in the hospital...

  10. ? YOU ARE SMOKING CRACK - RIGHT????

    Hi nursedude. Curious. What is it that sticks in your crawl or crack, if you will, about the government? Do you have any fears about total privatization? If so, what, if not, why not? Do you think it...

    Hi CEN35. I think you've received good advice from the previous posters. I agree that making a priority list for you is foremost then making a priority list for your employees with their input....
  13. LITERALLY EATING THE "HELL" OUT OF YOUR YOUNGS

    Hi angelnurse. We nurses can be brutal towards one another in the workplace. I agree with previous posters on some of the reasons for this. I also agree that you should take things in stride and try...

  18. Casualization of the Canadian RN workplace

    Hi JMP. Congratulation on your achievements and welcome to nursing. Before you come to the states for work, make sure you thoroughly research a potential employer in the U.S before saying yes to make...
  19. Washington Post

    Hi. Wasn't this article from the Senate hearing that took place recently? It just simply validates what I'm now coming to grips with. Nursing has been on a course for an ice boulder a long time....

  21. HMOs and Smoking Gun

    Hi nursedude. Appreciate your response. You always provide food for thought and tend to generate strong responses from posters. I worked in the hospital setting when we kept patients in the hospital...
  22. How Much Longer.......
