  1. So do you actually take your breaks?

    Wouldn't it be nice if we could get all of us nurses in one facility that work this way. What a blissful place it would be. I really don't know why this happens. I understand. I have often said I should just leave the building. Then what would ha...
  2. Need some advise....PLEASE!!

    I do realize what you are going through but you are a trained professional. Here is the thing though if you really want to go back to school for RN I will tell you it is no easy task. Most times teachers will tell you don't even work. I don't know...
  3. So do you actually take your breaks?

    That's just crazy. I get it on hijackin the thread.
  4. So do you actually take your breaks?

    I agree we should all work together but the sad thing is alot of people are not team players. You know it would be nice if someone where to say can I help you with anything I've done it. Not all people are like this. One of the facilities I worked...
  5. So do you actually take your breaks?

    Boy I haven't run into to many of those types but I have run into a couple of those, really ashame. I wish the smoking in facilities would be stopped. So many people complain about this and I mean really complain, everywhere I have worked.
  6. So do you actually take your breaks?

    I really understand how you feel this is really very frustrating. I saw a nurse leave in the middle of a med pass to go for a smoke break, when she returned she did get in trouble and was told this was unexceptable and to never do it again. I hate ...
  7. So do you actually take your breaks?

    I have to be honest please never call me a martyr. I also have been a supervisor. Yes breaks r wonderful and in a perfect world I have never had a time management problem but I have a hard time believing in and unexpected field where things really ...
  8. Reclaiming our Profession

    This is amazingly eloquent. I cannot describe to you how much I agree with what you have to say. Nurses are such an incredible part of the medical field and I cannot tell you that if we were not there Doctors would not know what to do with themselv...
  9. So do you actually take your breaks?

    I am not saying it is right but I feel your pain. I can say NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do I take a break I am totally guilty of this. It is not to say that anyone who chooses should not. I am completely in support of my fellow nurses and if you ...
  10. The best job in the world.

    Not sure who the other people are that this person is forgetting to give credit to?
  11. The best job in the world.

    Perhaps u need to realize part of health care and being a good nurse is socializing with your patient it not only to build trust with the patient but also gives u the ability to pick up on something you might not have otherwise recognized. I was al...
  12. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    What I seem to keep hearing here seems to be all about the Doctors and I will again say. Everyone do there job and you have nothing to worry about and I think that statement is next to impossible to disagree with. I am assuming you are a nurse so I...
  13. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    I think what needs to be clarified here is we do not work for Doctors and as long as we as nurses are doing our job and handling ourselves with professionalism and knowledge, our job has no reason to be threatened by anyone. I don't think anyone sho...
  14. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    While I have never had any Doctor I have worked with imply that nurses are idiots. Are you in the profession. Because thats kinda harsh.
  15. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    It might be a good idea to go back to what this girl originally said. I think some of you are not getting her point. This seems to have become a bigger issue than what this girl wanted it to be. She is entitled to her own opinion and thats what thi...
  16. It's RN, Not MD.

    Did u ever think maybe the people that are making these statements are the ones that are having a hard time making it?
  17. It's RN, Not MD.

    Well I just want to say I again never hear this comment as well as some of the 20 year veterans I have talked with. I am honored to have graduated from a school that started out with one hundred and ten students of which only apx. Sixty five made it...
  18. How To Survive (and Thrive) In Nursing School

    I have advise for you. First and most importantly do not get caught up in the game of grades this happens in nursing school and just don't be apart of it. If people choose to reveal their grades let them do it. I personally feel it does nothing but m...
  19. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    Come on guys this girl was simply trying to make a point this is like when you are in grade school and your teacher tells u to tell a secret and before it gets to the last person it is totally different. Lets end this by saying she simply didn't lik...
  20. It's RN, Not MD.

    You know I'm really not sure I understand either I have been trying. I said in a previous comment I have never heard this either. I feel like this is a way of taking sides but I just don't know who's side is being taken. I just never hear a nurse ...
  21. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    I cannot tell you how many times a maybe disoriented patient was out right rude to me or the other nurses but yes we are there to serve the patient. I have many times overlooked the rudeness and tried to be patient. However we are supposed to be pa...
  22. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    She didn't tell the nurse she annoyed her. She was making a statement and as such is entitled to her own feelings it's a shame you don't remember when you where a new nurse. Alot of things you see are intimidating and you look to your more experien...
  23. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    I know you probably don't mean that literally, but if any nurse calls any Doctor or anyone with such a ridiculous statement. I wouldn't know how they got through nursing school and passed the boards.
  24. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    I think the issue here is being missed I don't think anyone's intention is to be rude. I think where the problem is coming in is when a Doctor is rude when being awakened. Nobody wants awakened at night but somehow if I was on call I might not favo...
  25. Why apologize to doctor when calling?

    I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE WE FORGETTING THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE DOCTOR IT IS ABOUT THE PATIENT. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PATIENT ADVOCATES. IT'S NOT BEING RUDE OR INCONSIDERATE IT IS CARING FOR YOUR PATIENT. There seems to be alot of strong feelings ab...
