  2. Interview close, who makes the final cut?

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in General Nursing

    My colleage interviewed for a position within his company and has heard through the grapevine that he and the other applicant are "neck and neck." (The hiring manager asked for his performance...

  3. Moral Courage in Healthcare: Acting Ethically Even in the Presence of Risk

    Art_Vandelay replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So sorry, canoehead. Horrible that it has to be that way. :-(. The PTB thrive on social bullying and conformity. Who is going to act if he needs to pay the bills and things happen like that which...

  4. MD not present for code??

    Art_Vandelay replied to shhhh's topic in General Nursing

    If the nurse charted (paraphrased), hospitalist notified at xx o'clock and hospitalist stated that he would be there in 20 minutes and nothing else was charted, I could understand how that could...

  5. MD not present for code??

    Art_Vandelay replied to shhhh's topic in General Nursing

    I am not giving legal advice. That being said, I don't see any liability as far as the hospital is concerned; an ER doc was present. So what if the hospitalist wasn't? The ER doc should be fully...

  6. Got yelled at by MD today

    Art_Vandelay replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I wonder if doctors think that their position gives them license to be ***es. Did he forget to read his Miss Manners book for the

  7. CC Posible Over Dose

    Art_Vandelay replied to LegzRN's topic in Emergency

    What infuriates me most is that I'm driving on the road with these people.

  8. Job Hunt

    Art_Vandelay replied to Birdbr's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    IMHO, it does make a difference. Employers prefer to hire locally or from within first. This is by no means the rule, but I think those within the area or within the company have a slight advantage....

  9. Graduating in 2 wks - terrified!

    Art_Vandelay replied to lookingabove313's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What's the worse that could happen? You could get sued, go to prison, and worst of all, kill someone! No reason to get your scrubs in a bunch. p.s. Anxiety is normal. I write everything down! I hope...

  10. Could use some advice or a listening ear...new RN, newly abusive husband

    Art_Vandelay replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    op, please have a police escort you if you go back to the house to get your things. they will if you tell them you feel your safety is in danger. please do not go back alone. also, i did not state...

  11. Could use some advice or a listening ear...new RN, newly abusive husband

    Art_Vandelay replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    i'll keep this short. before i went into nursing, i worked at a domestic violence shelter. i have seen a domestic violence victim with half her face shot off by her abusive cop husband. she was very...

  12. The Oversensitive... Vent!

    Art_Vandelay posted a topic in General Nursing

    In light of recent posts declaring rude, judgemental, and negative behavior by nurses on this forum, I ask: why do those making these posts even care? First, these are internet strangers. Second, if...

  14. Cardiac Enzymes? In a nut shell-highs/lows-what it all means?

  17. The Oversensitive... Vent!

    Art_Vandelay replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    I see that, considering your last post, I hate what's happening to nursing, was 4 months ago. I really enjoyed that post, by the way. Apparently, many others did too as evidenced by the amount of...

  18. Realist vs Optimist

    Art_Vandelay replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely not the first time someone has called me that. I had a friend who had Papa Roach's Last Resort as my ringtone. Um, couldn't it have been I'm Walking on

  19. Realist vs Optimist

    Art_Vandelay replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    From one vida loca to another, I get it. I am not a religious person, so it's a bit harder seeing the bright side of wrongdoings, or people for that matter, when you believe in the end that person...

  20. Realist vs Optimist

    Art_Vandelay replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Mi Vida, you are my hero. The only thing that kept me sane in Mi Vida Loca was a jaded sense of mockery and detachment. What are the options when you have to hide a loaded weapon from your own mother?...

  21. Realist vs Optimist

    Art_Vandelay replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    tok, you don't see rainbows and butterflies everywhere, like me? I thought that's why we meshed so

  23. The Oversensitive... Vent!

    Art_Vandelay replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    As far as the comment, "Who peed in the original poster's cornflakes?" Honestly, I thought that was funny. Who knows? Maybe I am the insensitive jerk for thinking so, and perhaps I was the one who...

  24. The Oversensitive... Vent!

    Art_Vandelay replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    guilty as charged, your honor! in certain respects, yes. not oversensitive in that i am crying in the corner, but after recent posting events, i find myself "walking on eggshells" and thinking,...

  25. Would You Marry or Date a Patient or An Ex-Patient of Yours

    Art_Vandelay replied to Yiggs's topic in General Nursing

    Whoops! "Where were you in WA?" Note to self: no posting after margaritas. I would choose PA over the desert, but I like seasons and cold weather.
