1. Help with hopeless horrible nurse's aides

   1guy2pups replied to xmaxiex's topic in General Nursing

   Why do you turn to your DON or NM when there is a personnel management problem? You're the professional nurse -- and their manager during the shift. Take responsibility for being a manager. Don't pass the buck upwards. Learn from managers (nurses) wh...

2. Therapy dogs....what do you think?

   1guy2pups replied to LeashRN's topic in General Nursing

   I was recently in the hospital and experienced significant difficulty sleeping. They claimed it was 'white coat anxiety'. Ha! I didn't have my little dog sleeping with me. He has slept with me longer than my ex-wife and doesn't mind my snoring!

3. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

   1guy2pups replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

   Get over it already. You will hop in the neighbors pool buck naked and call it skinny dipping, but won't bare an inch of skin in class? Be respectful and expect your partner to be as well.

6. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

   1guy2pups replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Relations

   I'm not a young guy and worked in many different occupations. The best environments existed when there was a "good" ratio of men to women (subjective - it depends on group dynamics) and when I hired work release inmates. Regardless of their history...

7. Is anyone else terrified of the cadavers?

   1guy2pups replied to luckymichelle's topic in General Students

   Don't get freaked out by them. They're just dead people. You'll see and handle a lot more dead people during your career. And, be respectful - treat them as you would a member of your own family (assuming a healthy family life).

8. Do you have Malpractice Insurance?

   1guy2pups replied to S.Lunsford RN's topic in General Nursing

   Abuse or neglect claims can be alledged so easily. Your employer may try to wash their hands of it by claiming you did not follow procedure, etc. Where does that leave you? -- Hopefully with private insurance to mount a defense. There's an old sayi...
