I just saw this Johnson & Johnson commercial on TV tonight. I think it is part of their Nurses Heal campaign. Some believe that it is a "touching" commercial. I however, am not even remotely touched by it; but rather found it unsettling to sugge...

How about this..... " Just so happens to be your lucky night. Nurse Mary is assigned to all the aholes and she is not of color".

Bingo. Obviously, not enough people at your facility want it. Choose battles that offer a reasonable chance of precipitating change. Doesn't sound like this is it. At least for now. I couldn't help but notice that your avatar was Mickey Mouse in a nu...

Go to chca.com click on member hospitals to see list with links of leading children's hospital search the various websites using weight management clinic or program and you will find lots of info BUT the poblem is $$ ....very few of the services p...

Your personality may be that you will never believe you are aequately prepared untl you've jumped in, done it, and actually have experience as charge. Sounds like you have insight into your strenghts and weaknesses for the role and that you might be ...

She delivers herself like a pizza right to his door at the hospital and he can't go anywhere else. Truthfully, otherwise, he likely couldn"t be bothered to invest the energy and his precious free time on her outside of work.

I'm telling you. You can't make this s** up. LOL. It cracks me up that all of us that have been in the business for years and years are like, yeah.........

I am so sorry for taking up space jus quoting and saying LOL when I've already liked it but that was just too dang good ! LOL

I am sorry, i just can't get on board going out all nursed up begging for money so we can hand out some little cha-cha or trinket or have a food party. I don't get into all the "fill in the blank" weeks with umbrellas and mugs and lunch bags. I would...

nurse156 and I are of the same generation of nurses. Regardless of your moral belief, this is something that our generation learned how to handle, especially if you worked in an academic facility. That's just the way it was sometimes. You also knew ...

I know I am in the minority but as far as I am concerned, one "ceremony" should be adequate to recognize the achievement of nursing degree which is what the graduation ceremony now is. Beyond that, throw a party to celebrate when the pins come in. ...

With an extra added surcharge for improper use of resources !

I would just make note that you appreciate the opportuity to interview and observe and remain interested in working at xyz facility on xyz unit blah blah blah. Then state that your primary choice of shift would be _____ but that you are fortunate tha...

I apologize if I am repeating what anyone else has said since I have not read the thread. There are very few things that I would not let a student do if they appear knowledgeable, adequately prepared and appropriately supervised for the task. A CRNA...

the fly in the ointment is this........ more often than not, in the healthcare industry, administrators and board members determine the organizational goals, priorities, and budgets etc; not managers. based on the confines of that framework, mana...

The discussion is meaningless without some sort of consistency in use or agreement/understanding re definition for "false documentation". It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare someone fabricating blood sugars, vital signs and weights (which is w...

Just a bit ago the top three threads involved: 1.I have a DWI. Can I be a nurse? 2.I am stupid. Can I be a nurse? 3.If it takes me five times to pass NCLEX, Can I be nurse. Not much left to add. Says it all.

For the most part, with a few exceptions, I have always referred to physicians the same way that they refer to me. If they call me by my first name then I call them by their first name. Has never been a problem. Never.

Nursing, you gotta love the mentality ..... the inservices provided at work, which probably have a more direct impact on day to day practice don't count but courses that are chosen for no other reason than timing, cost, location etc do.

Go ahead and shoot me for not being pc....but it is total BS to use being from another culture as excuse for not knowing whether to report it or not.If someone does not viscerally understand how #@* wrong that is and aren't instinctually driven to do...

thank you !!!!!

When the nurse calls and says patient has dementia, is on xyz narcotic and is confused, the doc says d/c the med and doesn't know what else to do, so does nothing. Unfortunately, lot's of patients with dementia fall and hence, become orthopedic pati...

OP here, stopping by to say ....... Little did I know when I started this thread that it would go to 1,000 and counting ......... Congrats to RNsRWe for #1,000 and to all for job well done. :)

DFO's ususally start out as the W&D's ( weak and dizzies ) :)
