  1. Me... Me... Me: A Sense of Entitlement

    SionainnRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    No. The thread is about having to deal with entitled patients. It's a vent thread so please don't give us a hard time for venting. It's how we're able to take care of our patients and do our job to...

  2. Me... Me... Me: A Sense of Entitlement

    SionainnRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Then you're more than welcome to make a thread complaining about people complaining if you like. Every field has issues that people complain about, it's universal. I just don't think it's fair of you...

  3. Me... Me... Me: A Sense of Entitlement

    SionainnRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Yeah, how dare we jokingly complain/vent about our jobs to like minded folks!! We should all immediately surrender our nursing

  4. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If it were one of those facilities then this would be a moot point. As I've said, ad nauseam at this point, is that we don't know what type of break it was and what the hospital policy

  5. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And as I said I have NO problem euthanizing a pt. I would do it a heartbeat without a moments

  6. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And if my vow was to stone all cheaters you would do nothing to stop me since I took a vow? Bottom line is the only people who can destroy a vow are the people taking them. That's

  7. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh please, this isn't the 50's. I personally dong think you should date at work, but that's on them. As for her being a disgrace what about him? He deserves way more if the blame by a long

  8. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why should you have anything to do with vows I take? They have nothing to do with you. They are between the two people who took them. What if it was a vow you absolutely didn't believe

  9. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because no ever cheated on spouses till recently? As long as there has been the concept of marriage there has been cheating in marriage. I personally don't think it's right to sleep with a married...

  10. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yep. I started in the trauma ICU and told my coworkers that if I came in as a quad or TBI to just smother me. I wouldn't want to live that way and being forced to live that way against my wishes would...

  11. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I never said Heidi was blameless but to me the blame is 70/30 on the doc. He was the one married, not her. And honestly saying he was tempted and couldn't say no is a cop out. We are all responsible...

  12. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But again we don't know if it was an unpaid break or what the policy is even on unpaid breaks. And if you're breaking policy you have to deal with the

  13. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I thought I did too, until I heard about my fellow RN banging a RT in her car on their lunch breaks. Both were married. Super classy. I guess I'm just out of the gossip

  14. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not to help him break his vows? Are you kidding? That's like blaming others if you fall off the wagon. If someone is going to cheat, they're going to cheat. Doesn't matter who with. If you believe...

  15. Job applications...

    SionainnRN replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well then I would be upfront. Especially about your restrictions. I don't know what types of jobs you're applying to, but if it's hospital jobs I hope you're upfront about your restrictions. It will...

  16. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess I don't see answering a direct question as tattling. To me, tattling is seeing something you don't like and going to management. I wouldn't trust a union rep who lied when asked a direct...

  17. Job applications...

    SionainnRN replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So you were fired for diversion, were you reported to the Board? Are their limits on your

  18. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm surprised at so much hate directed at Heidi. Yes she should know better than to sleep with a married coworker but she's not the married one! Dick is the one breaking his vows and ruining his...

  19. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Again it depends on what type of break, on or off clock, and what hospital policy is. I would imagine some hospitals have a policy stating employees cannot sleep on the premises regardless of being...

  20. How to remember everything, when giving report?

    SionainnRN replied to SeaH20RN's topic in Emergency

    Yep, that's what I grab when EMS brings in a pt or when the poop hits the fan and there's no time to open up the computer. Yay for paper

  21. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It all depends if the break was on or off the clock and what the hospital policy is. No way for us to

  22. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well if it's against policy it's against policy. I've seen people fired for taking home flushes or Kleenex. So being fired for sleeping on the clock seems pretty reasonable to

  23. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well it depends what type of break. If they are still on the clock then it's probably a fireable offense. If it's off the clock but on their property (lunch room vs car) then it can be murkier. But...

  24. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well luckily that is your opinion and you get to choose for yourself what you want. I would rather my family and friends die on their own terms rather than slowly rot when there's no chance of...

  25. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, without a moments hesitation. We do it all the time in the ER or ICU when we withdraw care. I have no qualms about helping kill a rational person with a terminal diagnosis who have passed all the...
