2. Nurses Eating Their Young

   timetoshine replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Relations

   Ruby-the situations you describe re: being late, inappropriate attire, etc., seems to point to the Schools training these people and the Teachers who allow this inappropriate behavior. Why these conditions exist in the workplace is because it can. I...

3. Nurses Eating Their Young

   timetoshine replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Relations

   Document your experience as you have described here and ask for another Preceptor. Based on what you have described here he is not qualified to be your Preceptor. Your responsibilities to your Patients are far too important, once you are on your ow...

6. "Nurses Are So Mean"

   timetoshine replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   If what you say is true and I believe it is I can understand your frustration. If it were me I would write her up. In the write-up I would suggest that maybe she is not clear in what her responsibilities are and how she could have been more helpful....

7. "Nurses Are So Mean"

   timetoshine replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   I have read those those threads also and dismiss them out of hand. Fortunately they are in the extreme minority. How they ever got through a Nursing Program boggles my mind. Using them as examples to rebutt or reject the real concerns of Nurses wh...

   timetoshine replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   I apologize for the bold type. It was not deliberate or intentional. It happened because I copied and pasted the title of the Article and I couldn't change it. The problem with Ruby's responses and some of the others is they are assuming the the pe...

10. Nurse eating their young?

    timetoshine replied to Ms. Amy's topic in Relations

    Just for the Record. Being rude is a subtle way of "of eating your young" It dosen't need to be overt or violent. Seems to me this Nurse is a "Result Oriented" person. She is not interested in how or why the Patient is there she can read that in th...

11. Does anybody really care?

    timetoshine replied to ironslick's topic in CNA/MA

    YES IRONSLICK, some of us do care. As a matter of fact many of us care a lot. I am a retired DSD and every class that went through my CNA Program had the same complaint. "What goes on the unit is not what is taught in the Class". Another frequent ...

13. First LPN job in LTC...is this the way it really is?

    timetoshine replied to Krisintheweb's topic in LPN/LVN

    I wish I could give you a hug. Everything you are doing is the right thing to do. But everything you, and the others, who find themselves in the same situation do, only contributes to the problems if you just try "to go along to get along. Facilit...

14. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    timetoshine replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have read every post in this thread and I want to shout "STOP ALREADY". WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE? Therein lies the problem. No one is in charge. There is no coordination of effort. There is no plan of action. There is no blueprint to follow for who...

    timetoshine replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is why "Nurses Eat Their Young". This is why Nurses "Burn Out". ER Nurses-Don't tell us you're in "Crisis Mode" 100% of the time. Don't tell us you can't adjust some of what you do to accommodate the MS Nurses. This is nursing run amuck. Thi...
