  3. What would make you happy?...employee satisfaction

    Well, at my job, I think I would be the happiest if they would end all 8 hour shifts immediately, making all the staff 12 hour employees. We are trying to eventually go to all 12s, but there are some...

  12. Is Nursing All Paper Work Now?

    I have only been a nurse for about a year now and it is for this very reason that I have really started to think that I chose the wrong profession - it's ridiculous! Not to mention all of the...

    I got a little angry as I read your post just because I just voluntarily resigned my position on a med-surg floor today. I just passed NCLEX in August and went to work shortly after. This hospital...

    Well, where I work, it is our policy to give Phenergan 25 mg IVP diluted in 9 mLs of NS. I see it *a lot* where I work, especially ordered with Demerol IV. This is probably because of the...
