  1. Nurse to nurse communication

    Mijourney replied to MartyL's topic in General Nursing

    Hi MartyL. Your post indicates that you are disappointed with your prn job. I think you're right to want to look for work that is more suitable to your standards. In light of this experience, I...

  2. RN"s and LPN's mandated to work as CNA's

    Mijourney replied to chili2641's topic in General Nursing

    Hi chili2641. I guess one question is whether your administrator and others who use staff in a multipurpose way are doing so within that person's scope of practice and job description? If it's...

  3. Burnout?

    Mijourney replied to LenoraRN's topic in Home Health

    Hi Lenora. I think you are seeing the effects of change or more aptly industrial chaos on home health care. This, I believe, is unprecedented. Don't apologize for the length of your post. I rarely...

  4. verbal 'scripts'

    Mijourney replied to NCRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi NCRN. Ever watch Star Trek? "We are borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." I agree with other posters that using scripted communication seems ridiculous. At the same time, there are...

  5. NURSE THE NURSE: gotta improve retirement benefits

    Mijourney replied to lsmo's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Ismo. Great "out of the box" topic. I've recently contemplated purchasing LTC insurance as well as additional disability insurance. Being disabled and/or old, as we all know, is very expensive. It...

  6. A Crying Shame

    Mijourney replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Laura. Note that the operative word in my post was "supposedly." In my area, doctors will listen to the nurses they are most comfortable with and who has the best track record for quality patient...

  7. A Crying Shame

    Mijourney replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    Laurasc, you managed to draw a sad face from me for the first time since I've posted on this board. I'm crying about this shame. Thankfully, the nurses, in this case, were diligent and persistent in...

  8. What would you do?

    Mijourney replied to Lorraine bryan's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lorraine. Whew! What a situation. Whether this nurse is a predator or not, the situation, as other posters have written, needs to be reported immediately. I hope you have accurate documentation of...

  9. UK vs US nursing

    Mijourney replied to corkyb's topic in General Nursing

    Hi corkyb. I'll give you my observations about nursing as I see it. From what I can tell from reading posts on this bb over the past year, whether you are a nurse in the US or the UK, you catch h***....

  10. Catching Hell

    Mijourney replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Nursing

    Nursemark, I agree with you. On my 2nd response to this topic, I indicated that no assaults from anyone should be acceptable. I'm not completely convinced, in this particular case, that the gender of...

  11. back injury ...career change?...HELP

    Mijourney replied to R.M. RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi R.M. RN. I'm sorry that you're experiencing serious health problems so early in your career. I agree with your doctor. You should find something else to do besides bedside nursing, even if that...

  12. what are my legal rights?

    Mijourney replied to spitfire's topic in General Nursing

    I agree Tiara. Nurses need to get in a habit of writing incident reports not just regarding patient and employee incidents but for employer incidents. We need to keep copies for ourselves and turn one...

  13. How do you work with a ***** ???

    Mijourney replied to soundsLikesirens's topic in General Nursing

    Hi soundslikesiren. I don't think you CAN work with a *****???. Some other alternatives to consider: You can consider getting a hand held cross and holding it up to her when she approaches you. Can...

  14. Eating young, infighting and psyco bosses

    Mijourney replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Doc. I agree with you that nurses eating one another is a problem that needs attention. I personally feel that some of the problem is due to the nature of women bringing personal baggage to their...

  15. Catching Hell

    Mijourney replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Nursing

    Julie, you make excellent points about abuse from our coworkers, physicians, and other staff. I think that in many cases, when a family member or patient vents, one has to judge whether the attack is...

  16. Beyond Help?

    Mijourney replied to natalie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi natalie. Thanks for bringing attention to this article. Another poster wrote that this opinion is popular in their area. In fact, it is popular in many areas including mine. The sentiments...

  17. THESE NURSES SUCK!!!

    Mijourney replied to SUBQ's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi. I agree with you SUBQ on most of the points you make about the problems in nursing. I acknowledge that I'm recovering from being one of the completely "spineless" nurses. I think that the problem...

  18. Catching Hell

    Mijourney replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I agree with the previous posters. MollyJ, great words of encouragement. I would dare to write that some or maybe many of us can write that we have been verbally beaten by a physician or two,...

  19. Here are the BAD GUYS folks

    Mijourney replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Oramar, thanks for sharing with us articles about one of the groups from hell. It's so nice to be able to put names with those who "scorch and burn" us. It's a shame for the patients and us that...

  20. LPN VS BSN VS ADN?

    Mijourney replied to SUBQ's topic in General Nursing

    Hi iris. Since I don't come on this bb looking for trouble I do not take offense at your comment, and I do agree that I did miss the point. My intention was to not get caught up as I did when I first...

  21. Eating young, infighting and psyco bosses

    Mijourney replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Oramar, once again you have presented an article that's right on target. Nursing has allowed itself to be dutifully exploited by medicine, administration, and the public. It's like battered wife...

  22. Can you stll take care of your patients?

    Mijourney posted a topic in Home Health

    Hi. I don't know about you, but I really miss being able to spend quality time with each of my clients/patients. The new rules, regs, paperwork, and patient turnover has left me spinning dizzy. What...

  23. LPN VS BSN VS ADN?

    Mijourney replied to SUBQ's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Subq. Perhaps the title of your topic should be what one considers the best pathway for becoming a successful nurse. The vs. thing seems to frequently cause a stir when it is used, because nurses...

  24. Disabled RN Let Go

    Mijourney replied to HemaStat's topic in General Nursing

    Hi HemaStat. I don't know what the ADA contains, but I'm sure it's worth a legal consult to get an opinion. What happened to you is unfortunate, but it's great that you're standing up for yourself....

  25. Is there such a thing as teamwork in nursing?

    Mijourney replied to Iwant2banurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Iwant2beanurse. My opinion is that women, who predominate nursing, are not use to working in teams. Women tend to operate in cliques. Nursing is a profession that was not originally structured as a...
