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

  7. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    timetoshine replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

    timetoshine replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

  10. Nurse eating their young?

    timetoshine replied to Ms. Amy's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

  11. Does anybody really care?

    timetoshine replied to ironslick's topic in Medical Assistant, 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...

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

    timetoshine replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

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

    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...

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

    timetoshine replied to Krisintheweb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Probably because you live in Calif. Many LTC's are hiring only R.N.'s because they are taking on IV Therapy to increase their revenue. There are other things you can do. Women's Clinics and...

    timetoshine replied to Krisintheweb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  19. Need Help with Charge Nurse

    timetoshine replied to Sunnyday2235's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry but practicing avoidance is not going to solve the problem. That nurse must be stopped if she is actually giving you misinformation and/or just being mean. Since you have a floor Manager you...

  21. Need Help with Charge Nurse

    timetoshine replied to Sunnyday2235's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately not every venue has a Nurse Manager and I didn't get the impression she had one. I agree she should communicate with the nurse but from what she says in the post it is my opinion she...

  22. Need Help with Charge Nurse

    timetoshine replied to Sunnyday2235's topic in General Nursing

    I would mention it to her in a casual way just to let her know you are aware she may have "forgot" to pass it along. It should be a policy of the facility to have a designated person or department...

  23. Are you insulted????

    timetoshine replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing
