    Stupid?????? No you were just telling the truth. Probably could have told him a little more politely. Do you still have the receipt for the uniforms? Maybe you could keep one? Best of
  2. Is this a common trait in a charge nurse?

    I think I'd have to say "ok Mommy" Calling the doc yourself and writting the order is your responsibility IMHO. Can you speak to you NM about her? Sounds like she needs an attitude adjustment....
  3. i'm a RN

  4. i'm a RN

    I don't tell anyone at a doctors office that I am an RN. It turns people off and serves no real purpose. I hate it when people do it to me. I feel like saying "yeah, me too!" In the outpatient center...
  5. Perception vs. Reality

    I am Dutch and in Holland they have socialized medicine also. They don't complain about getting care. Doctors make house calls if necessary to babies and the elderly. Everyone who needs care can get...
  6. RN positions where not on feet so much

    Congratulations on getting your RN. Remember that a starting salary is just that. You have many opportunities in front of you. Get a year of med/surg, ICU, ER, along those lines under your belt....

  11. Would parenting classes help a confused stepmom?!

    That's how the post sounded but surely they wouldn't, surely they couldn't put a minor child in an inpatient facility and then move out of state. First, the child would not be in a inpatient facility...
  12. Would parenting classes help a confused stepmom?!

    Respectfully, I may be perceived as an oldie, but I have been around the block more than once and I don't see how severe punishment is going to make an angry young man feel any less angry. You don't...
  13. Would parenting classes help a confused stepmom?!

    Being a parent is the toughest job a person will ever do and I can't even begin to imagine being a stepmom to a very hurt and angry teenage boy. I don't think parenting classes would hurt the...

  19. DNR tattoos...

    We had a 74 y/o patient who had DNR tatooted on her left breast because her children would not agree to make her a DNR. In the end it didn't stand up, she was a full-code but mercifully did not...
  20. Need shoulders to cry on, classmate killed in MVA

    Marci, I cannot even begin to know how you feel. How sad for her family, husband and children. She will still be with you in spirit and will look out for you. Make her proud. So glad to hear that...

  24. Your Not Gonna Believe This!!

    That's pretty much a given. I wouldn't want to work for this woman/place if that's the mindset that they have regarding chart audits. Is this a hospital were talking about? Just
  25. Ours is combined and we also have a locked door but it's never been a problem that I know of. There's a window and a
