    "Should I Report This?" Yet Another Bullying Thread

    leslie :-D replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    bullying, i think, would mean to instill fear into its victim... with an underlying and looming threat (from the bully) to sabotage victim's work. the story where nurse's dad w/lung ca, was given 5...

    leslie :-D replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    "Should I Report This?" Yet Another Bullying Thread

    leslie :-D replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    nothing wrong in reporting appropriate events at work. it seems that many need to differentiate betw spiteful reporting and genuine-concern reporting. lots and lots of backstabbing 'reporting' going...

    leslie :-D replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ethical (?) Dilemma?

    leslie :-D replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    will the day opening be availabe for 2-3 months? i'd hate to see you lose that slot, just to wait for the night opening to be filled. i can tell through your sensitivity to the new nurse quitting,...

    Should this be reported??

    leslie :-D replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    how can it be hypothetical, if a real situation exists? it sounds like you do have an interest in a particular situation.... and maybe or maybe not, have gone forward with. as for the perceived...

    Pct refused delegation

    leslie :-D replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    that's interesting, nurses having the time or audacity to do this publicly... unless, they were on break, or perhaps on 11-7, when there's 'usually' 1-2 hours of down time. i mean seriously, i can...

    Should this be reported??

    leslie :-D replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    you need to reread my post. i've never done it, but i do know that it's common practice amongst certain nurses/facilities. i'm talking about meds such as prilosec or coumadin, or other common meds....

    Pct refused delegation

    leslie :-D replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    maybe she is playing you, but there is also a chance that she has never emptied one. show her a 1:1 (including changing one) so after, she can't use that as an excuse again. as soon after you learned...

    Should this be reported??

    leslie :-D replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    this nurse diverted 1 prescribed med and 2 otc. how many times have nurses 'borrowed' a med from another nurse? that's diversion, too. or giving someone a couple of tylenol...another case of...

    How is a new nurse supposed to go about being firm without being offensive?

    leslie :-D replied to Italia23's topic in General Nursing

    i like the idea about consulting the mgr. but before you do, all you can do is simple get them together, inform them how they are acting out of their sop, and re-educate them on their roles and yours....

    Ethical (?) Dilemma?

    leslie :-D replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Ethical (?) Dilemma?

    leslie :-D replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Bullying

    leslie :-D replied to Nittybelle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    exactly comparable to the concept of nurses eating their young... with the (experienced and/or older) nurses, being the bullies. when labels are overused, they tend to lose their credibility...as it...

    Should this be reported??

    leslie :-D replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    well then, it's public knowledge. no need for any extra speculation. any employer could check the bon website, just as easily. why the interest?

    Oxygen Question

    leslie :-D replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Job posting- "Must not be overweight"

    How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    leslie :-D replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    yes, your question would be hijacking a thread. it takes the focus off of the op's question and redirects the thread to you...which wouldn't be very considerate. you're welcome to start your own...
