  1. resp therapy vs RN

    While you may make more money and have more job opportunities, you'll certainly inherit all that is wrong with health care. Our RT's are CRUISIN' compared to what we go through in 12 hours a day. And they don't have the family crap to put up with as...
  2. RN to BSN orientation

    Ya' wanna' be a nurse? You passed the test. You want more letters after your name? Become a professional in another field. It's folly to stick on BSN after the RN. There is NOTHING that an ADN can do that can't be done by a BSN, so don't consider you...
  3. Shared Governance

    When you're saving money, you won't see snazzy ideas such as these. When you've got OPM (other people's money) from universities, county facilities, and so on, you start to see the paper mill projects come to light. They need more nurses, higher sala...
  4. What a way to end a great shift

    Take your breaks before they take your spirit. Insist that "night shift" can handle it. It's a 24 hour job and this mantra that day shift has to do it all is preposterous and shouldn't be fostered. I had a good day Sunday. Was able to shave a patient...
  5. IV in AC

    psychomachia has the definitive answer. And, again, I'm amazed at the very question. Oh, give me a wino at change of shift! It's now 0232 and my rants and rave continue, despite the Cuervo conditioner. The dog's lickin' my hand again.
  6. Leaving nursing

    You're FREE! Don't ponder the life of a nurse! You're outta' there! You won't be abused by patients, doctors, managers, relatives, and visitors any more! You won't be sued! You won't catch a deadly disease or have a patient spit in your face! You won...
  7. RN bashing

    professionals. yeah. professionals.
  8. Are you kidding, texas nurses?

    You're going to need it when you don't have retirement. And make all the money you can while you're young. And stay away from Nevada. Work "ratios" in the nation with the highest number of fat, drunken smokers for your customers.
  9. This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for you! Stay out of patient care and use that "degree" for something else. Pharmacy sales is a good one. Converting over to a pharmacist is even better. Or maybe transfering into physical therapy. But a nursing degree is...
  10. Sutures

    Had to through that in.
  11. Yeah, the situation sucks, but we're making choices aren't we? Get out of nursing and into a business with more respect.
  12. About a LTC MD who is BAD NEWS

    We could use him here in Las Vegas.
  13. How much Verbal Abuse should a nurse take from a PATIENT?

    "How much Verbal Abuse should a nurse take from a PATIENT?" "the last shift I worked this client pulled my hair, slapped at me, sniped, spit and was totally "with it" during every episode." "This client's tounge is like a two sided razor and I'm need...
  14. What was your secret weapon for surviving nursing school??

    Not in that order.
  15. and the grief that goes with it.
  16. Nursing is the most well-respected occupation in the public opinion polls. But it doesn't appear that they are polling the patients and visitors in the hospital. Patients love nurses until they need them. Then, they require their exclusive presence t...
  17. Mandatory Meetings :(

    ...and the problem is, specifically: How could anyone even consider that they would have to attend this "mandatory" meeting at the whim of a managers coercion? Can't you all take a JOKE? Tell em' OFF! If you can't, I'll talk to them for you. I enjo...
  18. Pregnant and Working with Respiratory MRSA

    Someone said: "I think that R.N. and others who won't accomodate you, should think about you and your baby's health..." Wrong. That's like the old saying, "Friends don't let friends drive drunk." A REAL friend doesn't get drunk and transfer personal ...
  19. This is an outstanding example of the reasons that no one should become a nurse and work with other women.
  20. California shortage

    Southern California house in crummy neighborhood $150,000. Condo $110,000 Nurse salary $45K to $55K pretty much throughout your lifetime as a nurse, starting out or experienced. Buying a house takes another person with a steady income. Rent: $650 on...
  21. so what does your hospital's ceo make?

    I've been trying to find out CEO salaries and havn't had any luck. Maybe someone's got inside info on web sites/financial listings?
  22. Nursing is pathetic...

    "As a psych nurse, I have a potentially dangerous, albeit exciting vocation. My husband has a great job, so I can afford low pay in order to enjoy my chosen (low pay ) profession." Nola Nurse Well, this statement just about ...
  23. Angry Nurse

    Always keep in mind that JCAHO is the mastermind of a private for-profit business that strong-armed themselves into accrediting hospitals and charging said hospitals for inspections. Pay the money and you pass. Find me a Las Vegas hospital that doesn...
  24. If you left nursing?

    Full time voyeur in a college girls tennis class. Britney Spears personal masseuse Anna Kournikova's nightmare come true. A slut. A male whore. A coniving, conartist of an ex-nurse, turned loose on the younger female public. Something, someone to bri...
  25. Dr. gives deadline to smoking pts

    I know of a doctor who doesn't give a damn if patients are stupid or not. Ya' want another heart surgery? He's available. Milk em' for everything they've got. Just off the vent? Have a cigarette, idiot. The downside is that personal choice and prefe...
