  3. Electronic documentation has stolen the human touch from nursing.

    Say what? There is a patient there? Pretty soon the computer will be equipped with a deposit only ATM and the patient can just feed his money into it before the assessment. "Thank you, come
  4. DUI Protocol

    As I drove to dinner tonight, I came upon an accident scene. The police were already there, a motorcycle had been involved, and was turned on its side. The police had the area around the motorcycle...

  9. I just dont know how I feel...

    Eh, they are probably losing less sleep over it than you are. The less you think about people that irritate you or are rude to you, the better. What's the point? To make yourself feel bad for landing...
  10. thank you letter?

    I think just email is fine. A thank you is a thank you, regardless of format.
  11. Interview Tues, leaving ICU for LTC

    I am headed in the opposite direction and have my goal set on the ER in the long run. I don't know about LTC where you are, but the facilities where I am would only staff the RNs on the skilled rehab...
  12. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    My thoughts exactly, it is not illogical. Perhaps the poster meant that it is implausible to expect to be treated in healthcare the same way one is treated in a restaurant or hotel? Oftentimes, in...
  13. going from a hospital to a nursing home

    Why not just start back at the hospital? Take a refresher course if you need it. Then again, SNF is not for me, so I would never encourage someone to go to

  19. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    This is not irony. One would expect someone that had a long history of working with the public to be able to resolve a conflict. Furthermore, one would expect a new grad to encounter difficultly in...

  23. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    On the contrary, I have worked in several other industries including sales, hotel reception, and also owned my own business, and I have never had someone treat me with such disrespect as in nursing. I...
  24. Funny thought about nursing...

    You can count me in, with that seriously twisted humor. It's how I cope too! On second thought, I would classify mine as moderately twisted.
  25. Should I stop to help?

    So, on my way to work last night, I was approached at an intersection by a man motioning me to roll down my window. I shake my head no, and proceed to drive onward. Now, call me paranoid, but I did...
