  1. How do you deal with an ignorant co-worker? Humble me with your advice, nurses!

    JeneraterRN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you seem to be watching. Any

  2. How do you deal with an ignorant co-worker? Humble me with your advice, nurses!

    JeneraterRN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say the same thing as some other posters, so I won't repeat. However, something else you repeated stands out to me. You made multiple racial comments about yourself when you were...

  3. What are your favorite types of patients??

    JeneraterRN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is one of the neatest things I've ever heard!!! It sound like a neighbor of ours whose hand was crushed by a trailer hitch. He just smiled and asked for a

  4. What are your favorite types of patients??

    JeneraterRN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, this may sound strange, but sometimes I need a challenge to blow the cobwebs out of my brain. Highly manipulative patients pose problems that are very challenging. Containing the behavior for...

  5. Sympathy strike...would you do it??

    JeneraterRN replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Though I agree that we do not work in factories, I do not agree that there have not been any responses regarding professionalism or responsibility. This thread did get a bit off topic with comments...

  6. "You'll be hearing from my lawyer."

    JeneraterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently tunnel vision

  7. "You'll be hearing from my lawyer."

    JeneraterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes, the bully tactic. Isn't it funny how a medical facility can be reduced to a school yard at times. A particularly notorious volunteer at our hospital tries this one with staff when she has...

  8. Sympathy strike...would you do it??

    JeneraterRN replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This is precisely why I am generally anti-union. Their purpose in the past has been honorable, but become more self-serving and, at times, corrupt. There are good units to join, as long as there is...

  9. "The Golden Hour"

    JeneraterRN replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    It depends upon the nurse working in the ER whether we are given an admission at that time. I don't mind starting an admission for the following shift. I can also understand the thoughts regarding...

  10. Ever had a patient or family members fire you?

    JeneraterRN replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Nursing

    We recently had a family member try to fire us all. The daughter of the patient had no idea how manipulative the patient was. She would refuse a bath, then tell the family that we didn't bother....

  11. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    JeneraterRN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, the twisted threads we spin. This particular thread had some interesting points made by many, but a whole lot of nastiness. This particular issue is what has turned me away from AN lately. It...

  12. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    JeneraterRN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely! If I did that as a new nurse, I'd feel bad and maybe cry in embarrassment. I have to laugh, though, about your comment regarding a non-medical person recording. It reminds me of...

  13. You know you spend too much time on AN when....

    JeneraterRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    When you can spot a troll in a nanosecond or a lay person asking for medical

  14. Choking Patient

    JeneraterRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me unfortunately. Pt was in high fowlers eating breakfast, assessed him, and went to the med room to grab morning meds for my next Pt. When I walked out, I saw a HR of 35 on his...

  15. Intimidated Nurse, Informed Patient, and WebMD

    JeneraterRN replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my annoying situation with WebMD: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/odd-behavior-psycosomatic-561631.html What a crappy situation that they put you into! This desperate ploy for...

  16. Staff splitting...how to deal?

    JeneraterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know, you really don't have to put up with it. No one has to take that kind of donkey dung. You can say to the patient that if you are not able to treat staff in an appropriate manner, the door...

  17. Staff splitting...how to deal?

    JeneraterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ha ha!!! Good

  18. Staff splitting...how to deal?

    JeneraterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    There is the old saying that you can't please everyone-it's old because it is true. Though you were professional, you can always count on someone to be a jerk. Personally, after that kind of...

  19. 20 Things Nurses Wish They Never Had to Say

    JeneraterRN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    And the grand majority say, "I didn't think you'd believe me if I brought it down." No. 2 reason-didn't bother, had to go for a cigarette run

  20. Question

    JeneraterRN replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Nursing

    With the limited info offered, I'd say it was a surgical specialty, no med. You are not likely to treat medical conditions as a

  21. Family members that follow you

    JeneraterRN replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    There are also those that find any nurse available with nine million questions about their family member. There was a son of a swingbed patient that flagged me down three times over an issue that had...

  22. Thick skin

    JeneraterRN replied to Chixie's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot control others' behavior, but you can hold them accountable. Have you spoken to them about their nastiness? That's generally the first step. If you cannot get through to them, take it to...

  23. You Know You Are a Nurse When...

    JeneraterRN replied to ParvulusPuella's topic in Nursing Humor

    How about describing urinary output as tea colored, cappacino, chunky monkey, or stinky

  24. What's the craziest getup you've ever seen?

    JeneraterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol love the

  25. Too young to be a nurse??

    JeneraterRN replied to eschoolgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with all the posters that say they believe if you act professionally, you shall be treated as such. I'm only 30 (that's not that old!!) and the younger nurses or aides that bother me in that...
