  1. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Now I do respect that people have strong feelings about adultery, and everyone needs to live by their personal moral code, but some of the posts started striking me as so judgmental and self...

  2. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe you know people with long lasting open marriages that you just don't happen to know are open. It wouldn't work for me, but that's sure not to say it can't work. None of that is really the issue...

  3. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a whole lot of ground between thinking adultery and/or sex on the work site is wrong or stupid (I personally do) and going out of your way to make sure you catch someone in the act (NOT...

  4. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank goodness they have good, moral, upstanding people in place at that hospital to make sure their nurses don't traumatize themselves by "accidentally" walking into a locked room and witnessing...

  5. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sure with the way the rumor mill is fired up where you work, you'd sure know it if it

  6. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Personally, the thing that shocks me the most about this story are the responses from the veterans saying this thing happens a lot. I guess I was very naive, because I never knew this kind of thing...

  7. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I never addressed you as weird, so take it up with that person. I only pointed out the fallacy of your argument in this context. Secondly, I have no desire to have sex at work, so no need to warn me...

  8. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That was never an issue in this situation as the couple was in a LOCKED physician on call room. Had the CCU nurse, nursing supervisor, and maintenance man simply KNOCKED on the door, no one would...

  9. Does your supervisor call & text you at all hours?

    Horseshoe replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm the total minority. I do NOT give out my landline to my employer. I am PRN and I would MUCH prefer my supervisor text me. I answer yes or no by text, give no reason and have never had a...

  10. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have to think that what the doctor and nurse did is right in order to believe very strongly that what the CCU nurse did was

  11. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That appears to be the $10,000 question. And there we have it. Or, the CCU nurse loves drama, knew what was going on, and just wanted to bust them so that she and her other friends would have...

  12. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, just exactly WHY is there no mention whatsoever in your post of the doctor's "moral issues and lack of judgment?" Talk about the ole double

  13. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Horseshoe replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    From the way you worded the post, it seems you don't believe her punishment was severe enough. But really, why do you even care? Did it affect you in any

  14. Gave pt the WRONG blood!

    Horseshoe replied to codebluechic's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How did you manage to come up with a thread that is 11 years old?! I can't even find a thread I was interested in from a week

  15. How many Hours per Week do you work

    Horseshoe replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    2-3 8 hour shifts per week. Once in a blue moon, 4

  16. pt with MRSA in sputum ambulating in hallway with no mask

    Horseshoe replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    YES. Unless he plans on licking an open wound, I'm perfectly okay with

  17. anxiety after being an RN for 14 years

    Horseshoe replied to lawandaluxnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you feel that changing specialties would result in burning bridges? Nurses do this all the time. As to frequent worries about what people think of you and your decisions, you may be giving...

  18. Have been in the ER for 3 hrs now....

    Horseshoe replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Emergency

    Maybe the ER nurse was also "clearly bored," so no harm, no

  19. why is celebrex no longer preferred?

    Horseshoe replied to aachavez's topic in General Nursing

    Bextra was a miracle drug for me. I was so upset that they took it off the market. I didn't get the same results with celebrex. Judicious use of Aleve is the only thing that works

  20. What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you should complain to your heart's content. Really...Don't worry if people begin to avoid your company because they get tired of your negativity...the problem is theirs, not yours. We know...

  21. What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only thing worse than feeling abused is doing nothing to change your situation other than b&*!ng about it constantly. If you feel ABUSED, why in the heck would you put up with that?...

  22. "I DEMAND an antibiotic. I am the customer and I am paying your salary"

    Horseshoe replied to Nascar nurse's topic in General Nursing

    One of my good friends was always asking for (note, not DEMANDING) and RECEIVING antibiotics for her kids' every viral infection. Her pediatrician always accommodated her request; I believe he just...

  23. What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, I know people who do nothing but complain ad nauseum. They are free to complain, complain, complain, complain...there's nothing stopping them, THAT's for darn sure. That said, who knows what...

  24. What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I imagine a lot of people have complained. But to have a whole list of "hates" only five months into a career isn't really the best sign for longevity. I had a similarly long list of hates very...

  25. Bedside charting?! Is this the new norm? VENT!

    Horseshoe replied to RockinChick66's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes, I remember the days of 12 hour shifts with a five minute stuff it in your face- lunch and, many days, not so much as a bathroom break. We did have some time to sit and chart, but life in the...
