  1. Best City to Work/ Have a Career in

    multi10 replied to Junebug0710's topic in General Nursing

    San Francisco is the best city in the world for nurses. First of all, it's an inspiring place to live. It is so beautiful. The vistas are breathtaking. The pay is fantastic and staff ratios are...

  2. Burned out and hate nursing

    multi10 replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    OP, It depends on what sort of person you are, and only you can answer that. Do you prefer to be active and running around during your 8-or-12 hour shifts (if you stay in bedside nursing)? Would you...

  3. Burned out and hate nursing

    multi10 replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I agree with samadams8. Being challenged is key to loving nursing. Med-Surg is the worst, especially in 2013, because it's boring. Nurses run-run-run from room, to room, to desk, dealing with...

  7. Does nursing change you into an angry person?

    multi10 replied to DesireeBeyerGreen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Does nursing change you into an angry person? No. Nursing made me a happy person. It depends upon where you work and your colleagues. My first med-surg job after my BSN graduation was horrible....

  8. Fake nursing/CNA licenses or what?

    multi10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wooh, "Breaking into their personnel files." (?) That's a crime. There is no need for anyone to be nosey. Each facility that hires a nurse requires that nurse to provide a Social Security Number...

  9. Saying no when work calls

    multi10 replied to TerpGal02's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals and facilities always have agency nurses available. There are also float and prn nurses available. There should be no reason for a nurse to feel guilty for not wanting to work a shift that...

  11. I Hate LT: How I Want to Fix It

    multi10 replied to libran1984's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked in LTC and the experience was that we suddenly started admitting very sick patients. Our residents needed wall oxygen at bedside in their rooms. They needed wall suction apparatus in their...

  12. Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

    multi10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Your language is inflammatory: You compared CNAs to "slaves." You believe that CNAs rebel. (Most don't.) You believe that the nursing staff is "holier than thou." According to you, there are...

  13. Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

    multi10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    CapeCodMermaid, First of all, I admire you for working your way up to be the Director and kudos to you for sitting with the front line staff to solve problems as a team. I wish you could advise most...

  14. Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

    multi10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LTC is a revolving door. The RNs come and go, but the CNAs have been there forever. And they are not going anywhere. How many times did I want to send a lazy insubordinate CNA home? It was not in...

  15. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    multi10 replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    jeannepaul In every facility where I have worked, the entire process of delivering blood to a patient is witnessed and signed off by two (2) nurses. How did this happen, that a "charge nurse" hung...

  17. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    multi10 replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So true, SuzieVN, I wish I'd had a camera to catch the narcotic-stealer in the act. It hurt me to see it because I considered him a trusted colleague in a very stressful unit. I called the Nurse...

  18. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    multi10 replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I walked in and witnessed a nurse (colleague) stealing narcotics. He thought he was clever. He withdrew Dilaudid, MS04 etc, via needle and replaced with normal

  19. Is floor nursing making you fat?

    multi10 replied to OCRN3's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Just as we plan for our patients, we are also able to plan for ourselves. Calories are important. It is important, if you want to lose weight, to track the calories that you take in every day....

  20. help

    multi10 replied to RNfuzzy's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    The fact that the impaired nurse has a prescription isn't the determining factor. Perhaps she is doubling her dose, or mixing the Rx drug with another drug(s) or alcohol. She needs to be tested...

  21. NNU...Where do I sign!?

    multi10 replied to lkulmann's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    sneeds, Norma Rae was on last night and I happened upon it by accident. It is so relevant, especially in these times. When she stood on that table near the end, holding her hand-writted sign "UNION"...

  22. Bullying in nursing

    multi10 replied to erwindt's topic in Critical Care

    With all the public awareness on the topic of bullying, I hope that it puts hospitals and facilities on alert that it would be in their best interests to enact anti-bullying policies in the workplace...

  23. CNA's-What do you think nurses should do about lazy uncooperative CNA's?

    multi10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How about when you are scrambling and ask your CNA (hanging/hiding out in her favorite patient's room), to do something, and she rolls her eyes and walks very...very...slowly. Is that...

    multi10 replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OP, I did not intend to derail your original topic. (And, actually, I didn't.) When you do not like what a person says, you deem it, "A Ridiculous Statement." That's called an ad hominem attack....
