    NurseCherlove replied to nightnurse7's topic in Medical-Surgical

    A bit off the subject here, but I wish they would have computer systems where the MD has to enter in their orders electronically. That way, no problems with handwriting or need for clarifications...

  5. They come out of the woodwork

    NurseCherlove replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    When I read stories like this, I wonder how in God's green earth do you ED nurses deal with what you deal with! How do you continue to get up and go to work each day? But then again, we also get a...

    NurseCherlove replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sue, I read your post from a little over a week ago about the hard time you were having. And I'm with Tazzi...without clearcut evidence that you've caused or potentially caused harm, it's just bogus...

  8. What do you think of this ratio?

    NurseCherlove replied to HealthyRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    NurseCherlove replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I forgot to add....what about the likely huge percentage of second career nurses Mr. Friggin Heyes?!?!?! Many of whom have actually left successful, well-paying careers for nursing. There...

  14. Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse

    NurseCherlove replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    I can honestly say that when I decided to become a nurse, I did not really know the details about the wages. That being said, let me be the devil's advocate here....Even if a nurse got into this...

  21. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    NurseCherlove replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but was it fair that this nurse had a punishment with lifelong consequences for something stupid she said out of anger? Again, she did not threaten the cop. A threat would have been something...
