    Dazglue replied to helpme,'s topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It was, but waht did management say? "Because she said abuse, we have to turn this over to the state.". The CNA is still being investigated. Managment told her to make the pitch of her voice higher...

    Lazy Staff

    Dazglue replied to Lauryen828's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even though we have crappy managment, one thing they do not tolerate is leaving someone soiled to prove a point. I for one will clean anyone up who needs it but if I had told the CNA that I could not...

    6 patients at once? How do you do that?? Any advice?

    Dazglue replied to RN0302's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just remember to take your time, (not toooooo slow but in a safe manner) and remember to prioritize your patients. For me, I use my report sheet as my "main brain sheet'. I have a clear clipboard so...

    Dazglue replied to lori4367's topic in General Nursing

    Dealing with "Web-Trained" Patient/Family Members.

    Dazglue replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    I think this thread jinxed (sp?) me. I met the top graduate of WebMD's school of medicine class of February last night. I'm not even going to go into details. It was just that bad.

    Dazglue replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Working 12 hour shifts- Good or bad?

    Dazglue replied to vanh0923's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone is different. I LOVE 12 hour shifts. But everyone is different. Some people prefer the M-F 8 hr shift. Even with 12's some people prefer doing all 3 in a row, or 2 in a row is more than some...

    Dermatology office pays $13/hour

    Dazglue replied to 50kn's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I would have to say no to that job offer, especially with the cost of living in California. I live in a state where nurses are paid the lowest, and I make WAY more than that as a new nurse. I was...
