  1. How many patients is too many & addressing staffing issues.....

    NurseCherlove replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    If there could just be some way that we could all really hurt those damn greedy hospital administrations/CEOs without hurting patients - some kind of national hospital nurse walk out, strike, or...

    NurseCherlove replied to CC999's topic in General Nursing

    If I had known that I was going to be worked like a dog pretty much every time I worked, I would not have chosen this profession. That is my biggest complaint. If the workloads were lighter and we...

  6. Causes Of The Nursing Shortage

    NurseCherlove replied to mifligirl's topic in General Nursing

    MiFliGirl, I have wondered this very thing...and so often. It's almost like those nurses who have "moved on" or "progressed" into management/admin. have become traitors or something. Or are they...

  7. A True to Nursing Movie

    NurseCherlove replied to skinc1's topic in General Nursing

    I have actually very often wished for this. Have even occassionally toyed with some possible plots for screenplays. If I had more time, I actually would love to pursue something like that. I've...

  9. What would you do if you were to quit nursing?

    NurseCherlove replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    You need to make time to pursue your art, even if just a little bit. It is a soul-freeing gift that not everyone has. Life is too short to waste your

  10. To nurse or not to nurse (or just do what you wanna do)?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    And that's exactly the case. He (the doctor) knows that this friend of mine is stressed all the time (working as a nurse) and he tells her he does not see a point in her being stressed when she does...

  14. Family members that work your nerves!!!

    NurseCherlove replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you were one bit wrong on that one. Heart is muscle. That is totally different from what the looney in the ICU did. Hope your dad is ok

  15. Ratted Out A Coworker - The Joys of Charging

    NurseCherlove replied to bollweevil's topic in General Nursing

    Did you tell your supervisor about the threatening part?? Were there any witnesses to her saying this? A few months ago, a very nasty aide told me the same thing. My manager at the time did nothing. I...

    NurseCherlove replied to KAH0508's topic in General Nursing

    If you want formal references, can't help you. If you want my opinion, here goes... It SHOULD be done something like the following: Since most patient charts are located outside of the patients door,...

  17. night nurse who leaves everything undone..

    NurseCherlove replied to linzz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    DI - I was thinking the exact same thing. Knowing the harm that can come from excessive bladder retention, it's hard to imagine that a nurse with any sense of conscience would be so negligent. To the...

  18. Guilt: Not being able to do it all!!!!!

    NurseCherlove replied to kstec's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Kstec, Just like Oramar said, it is obvious that you care so very much. You and people like you are what nursing SHOULD be about. But indeed it is true that we are all working in an impossible...

  19. How do you nicely handle a patient who is 'needy'?

    NurseCherlove replied to hollyberry678's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a large part of why I am so burned out and really starting to hate nursing. While I love the problem-solving aspects, I did not get into this profession to treat people like another one of...

  20. Family members that work your nerves!!!

    NurseCherlove replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    Yes what this man did is very out of line. However, there definitely may be a lot more to the family dynamics than you know. Maybe he felt some kind of pressure as "the medical person" in the...

  21. How do you nicely handle a patient who is 'needy'?

    NurseCherlove replied to hollyberry678's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh the verbal hostage situation is the worst! I too have done the things another poster has said, begging co-workers to call me in a minute or so, etc. One thing I try to do is set the precedent...

    NurseCherlove replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just re-read what I typed before - it sounds rather cryptic. Please understand that I worked last night and still have not slept. My eyes are

    NurseCherlove replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCherlove replied to Phillippians4:13's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Sweetie, From the looks of things, it seems you may just be in the clear. Like the others have said, just keep plugging away and doing your thing. However, if something should later arise from all...
