  1. Dispute between nurses and doctors

    multi10 replied to carebearangie89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Doctors are covered, and paid, by insurance companies. Doctors bill directly and insurance companies pay part of their bills. If they are affiliated with hospitals, doctors make their money through...

  2. I apologize..

    multi10 replied to letsbefriends's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, you did the best you could. Have no regrets. What kind of place requires you, the nurse, to transport your patient 4 buildings over, for a discharge? Round-trip, that adds up to a real hike,...

    multi10 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    StudentNurseCJV: It's just a different world at night. You'll be fine. You'll find out, soon enough, if it's for you. I don't think you're in for a rude awakening. Are you working eight-hour or...

    multi10 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Wooh, now I'm intrigued. What's the difference between " and'. ? I saw the movie twice and don't know what you're referring to. I guess I should watch it again. (I broke up with a guy who didn't...

    multi10 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    To NurseOnAMotorcycle: Da. I watched it. Thank you. Very talented people, all of them. The focus, for me, was the front-man with the voice. It's always about the voice, and he sure has a good...

    Gosh, I wish I could do that. It seems pretty impossible. To, like, totally turn the radio up from 10 to eleven. My fave song: "Spirit of Radio,"

    multi10 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    How about driving home from work at 8 in the morning, smacking your own face just to keep awake? Windows open, car radio at volume "11" [spinal Tap reference]. There were also the days when we...

  12. I can't use sick time I've earned??

    multi10 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    OP, what was rude about the remarks? You originated a thread that generated interest. I liked reading it very much. That's what is great about this site. We can (within limits) talk to each

    multi10 replied to ruthiemk's topic in General Nursing

    grpman: I am not away from anyone. (He stil offers to do my tax returns for free.) There is lots of joy in the world. Now, I am a musician and coping with the reality of blending the world of a...

  14. I just can't do this anymore...

    multi10 replied to ruthiemk's topic in General Nursing

    grpman: So true. I only know that I left my husband after it became crystal clear (once the ink was dry on the marriage license) that, in his mind, I was a meal ticket. He quit a lucrative job...

  16. We really care about our nurses at our wonderful LTC

    multi10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A problem with many LTCs is the lack of infrastructure. LTCs are admitting sicker patients yet there is no wall suction, wall 02, etc. The nurses have to use portable machines and set up before the...

  17. Who Cares About Us

    multi10 replied to mid2348's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The occurrences of flu/virus/illness are cyclical and everyone from the CDC to the press is aware of this. Nurses get sick too. However, hospitals choose not to gear up for these inevitable...

  18. Angry Nurse here!

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

    Some hospitals/medical centers have vending machines to provide food when the cafeteria is closed. Over the years they seem to have improved and provide some healthy offerings (apples, cheese, things...

  19. Am I doing the right thing? New nurse getting butt kicked

    multi10 replied to j_tay1981's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, you've received great advice here and you are cool and kind enough to acknowledge that we are paying attention. You're already way ahead of the game. I can only speak from experience about...

  21. People think I am stupid

    multi10 replied to nikkole318's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lazy? I switched to agency the day after fulfilling my first year, and no matter where I worked thereafter, the implicit motto (social contract), as far as nurses, was, "No-one sits until everyone...

  22. Dear Boss

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

    I want a talented writer/nurse to write a Screenplay about the reality of 21st Century Nursing. I would wait in line and pay lots of money to see that play on Broadway. Audience members would think,...

  23. Feeling like a servant

    multi10 replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The hospital is a scary place for those not conditioned/acclimated to that environment. Family members and friends may find it bewildering and sickening, e.g., a friend and I visited a friend who had...

  24. How to deal with the old/experienced nurses?!

    multi10 replied to Anna-s's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I was a new RN (one year out and brand-new to the ICU), I was also a newlywed. Sometimes I worked nights. There was an experienced nurse, my favorite, who liked to rave about how fantastic her...
