Hello all! Is anyone else annoyed by MA programs and the attitudes of Medical Assistants themselves??? I had a friend of a friend of mine, who is a medical assistant basically act like a B***h today. We were introduced to each other and she stated sh...

My mom wanted to have me at home. Completely uncomplicated pregnancy and assumed birth would be too. Had arraignments made and everything. Then her friend panicked when she started contracting and talked my mom into the hospital. I ended up being a s...

I don't get the anti c-section movement. If it's needed, it's needed. Just suck it up and do it!

I can. When watch a 97 year old with terminal cancer, end stage COPD, and end stage CHF get her chest caved in and the family is screaming to do everything, yes I judge. In my head, not to them of course. And I judge the ones who rescind their family...

Good god. You're an adult. Do what you want to do. Nursing is hard, even when you want it badly. If I didn't want to be a nurse and I did my job, I'd hate life and want to die lol.

And a couple of needle blood draws never killed anyone either. Good god, super nurse. Take it back a bit.

Maybe some of us get the gravity of the situation we are in. The ones who aren't anxious are usually the ones who mess crap up all the time in my experience.

"Sick leave" is not ruining healthcare. There are some days to avoid being you, I need an extra day off to rest. Not often, but does occur now and again. Its management's job to account for that and have a back up plan. And maybe if the work environm...

I think nurses deal with abuse because it's in our nature to see the good in people and try to "fix" them. That's part of who we are. And hearing the abuser that's apologetic and says they love you and are hurting makes us want to ease their pain. Ev...

When else would you like it done? Time is life. And they'll be grieving for months. So, please explain when you think an appropriate time would be? If we waited until grieving was done, we'd never have any viable organs for donation!

In my job, you tell them it's inappropriate and go about your day. If it doesn't stop, it doesn't. We suck it up and do what's gotta be done.

Wow. A person who hates people, is fascinated by our internal organs, and can put up a mask and act like you like people? You sound like a serial killer.

Stay in school and quit your wife. Jeez!!

Yeah it's fine. I had 5 high acuity PCU pts with no aide the whole night as a new grad.

I love nursing. I hate the policies and bs that goes along with it. "Here's five new forms to fill out but don't get overtime". "Don't check all the core measures(on critical pts I might add. They have all the damn core measures) each shift you're ge...

Jul 13 by Ruby Vee, BSN, RN Quote from OCNRN63 I don't know that there's a specific number, but certainly a whole lot more than one or two. IMO, anyone who has more than 20 years...no brainer. I think if you have at least ten years of exp., you ar...

My brain hurts just trying to read your story

I was eighteen when I went to Lpn school. I did caths and peri care on men, women, and children. Some much younger than me, my age, and older than me. And no I didn't ask to trade duties. Being a professional and all. At 18.

Thank you twss 2323!! It's the NURSING HUMOR board. It's anonymous and we get to vent and joke here. You can absolutely love something(like your mother perhaps) and just one day need to vent all their annoying habits. It's human!!! It's like they'v...

Mine is the woman who spent the night with her husband who positively flipped out on us cause machines kept beeping. AFTER we told her it was against the rules but would let her to be nice. And she acts like that? Told her to go home we were enforcin...

Oh jeez. Really? I'm so tired of these comments on this site. Please come back when you're an actual nurse with experience. Comments like these make me wish non nurses and nursing students were banned from commenting in the areas for nurses. I'm sor...

In my hospital it's set by the computer and pharmacy. But when I worked in a nursing home, Dr's just ordered and nurses scheduled based on medication. Antibiotics ordered 2 times a day were totally different than colace twice a day.

Yes in Florida on the app for BON it specifically asks if you have ever been treated for a chemical or mental disorder? Attempting suicide while drunk seems to fall under those guidelines. NEVER lie or withhold info from BON!! You most likely will en...

I'm sorry but the "unsafe" phrase really bothers me. I feel "unsafe" with 5 pts on a step down unit with high acuity pts as an RN. We also frequently have no aide. Killing someone is easy if a med error, blood transfusion, etc done wrong. I'm sorry...

I think OP is more annoyed that float is paid more than regular nurses. And that they are being used as a float but not compensated for it. Which is a valid argument.
