  1. Apologize for last post...

    SionainnRN replied to hershdawg's topic in General Nursing

    OP, since you've started two threads (not including this one) since Sept about how threads on here are making you question your choices, maybe you should listen to that little voice. I know when I was...

  2. Apologize for last post...

    SionainnRN replied to hershdawg's topic in General Nursing

    What you've said here and what you've posted in the other thread are two completely different things! Your other post came across as argumentative and aggressive. You really need to look at what...

  3. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    First everyone it's HIPAA! Second, OP of course your fellow nursing students laughed, you guys have NO idea what the real world is like. And you know what? During nursing school I was able to vent to...

  4. doctors repeated rudeness..trouble coping

    SionainnRN replied to sleepdeprived1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Try not to take it personally. I can guarantee that none of the docs know who you are. All they know is someone from your unit is calling. I've worked face to face with docs for years in a small unit...

  5. I feel like they should change the title of this site to "reasons why my job sucks"

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

  6. I feel like they should change the title of this site to "reasons why my job sucks"

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

    OP, you're complaining about people complaining and in the same breath asking for people's pet peeves...see how screwy that is?? People generally don't come on here to talk about how awesome their day...

  7. In a quandry, doctor difficulty

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

    Best route is to kill the doc with kindness. Next time you see her just say "I'm so sorry for any miscommunication and it won't happen again" and then make extra sure you are extra nice to her. I tend...

  8. goody goody nurse gets in trouble ??

    SionainnRN replied to Rendered's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OP, I guess I don't understand your title, how are you a goody goody and what does that have to do with anything. If you didn't follow procedure then yes you are fired for cause and not much you can...

  9. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    OP I just don't understand how we are allowed to vent, in your opinion, but not allowed to mention patients. That makes absolutely no sense. And venting in needed, now if someone was saying how when...

  10. Night shift better for shy personalities?

    SionainnRN replied to mamacita2's topic in General Nursing

    Just keep in mind that on nights you'll have to call docs in the middle of the night because of something going on with your patient. It takes a lot of nerve to be able to do that. Good luck. Nights...

  11. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    First, it's "no ifs, ands or buts". Second, if you feel so strongly then feel free to leave or report the post. According to your profile you are also a student and your views may change once you're...

  12. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    Since you're new here you'll soon realize that there are A LOT of students who come on here with a holier than thou attitude about how nurses should act. So in my opinion the frustration some people...

  13. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    Yep it's amazing how self righteous students can be!! They also seem to be the first to tell you to find a new job when you

  14. ER RN's with anxiety disorders?

    SionainnRN replied to Energizerhoney's topic in Emergency

    There's a big difference between taking an anti-depressant and taking narcotics while at work. If you are in so much pain or have such anxiety that you need to take narc while at work, then in my...

  15. ER RN's with anxiety disorders?

    SionainnRN replied to Energizerhoney's topic in Emergency

    I agree. And I think there is a big difference between benzo's/narcotics and SSRI's or

  16. PCT/nursing student in need of career advice-scared of pigeon hole

    SionainnRN replied to sunnybabe's topic in General Nursing

    Look at what the hospitals around you are hiring for. If the have new grad positions for ICU then go for it. I started out as a new grad in the trauma

  17. Things pts say that make you scratch your head.

    SionainnRN replied to Mommy&RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I always wear a tank top under mine in case I get so much bodily fluids on me it needs to be cut

  18. ER Nurse Attitude

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

  19. ER Nurse Attitude

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

    Well if your other pt is LITERALLY dying, I really wouldn't care at that time to placate them as I was trying to save a life. You'll understand better once you're actually on the

  20. ER RN's with anxiety disorders?

    SionainnRN replied to Energizerhoney's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry you have such anxiety, but I worry about any nurse taking benzo's and working. Not only can this impair your judgement, if something were to happen and you had to take a urine drug screen...

  21. ER Nurse Attitude

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

    I'm sorry but if the nurse was dealing with people who were literally dying right that moment of course she wasn't thinking about how to placate the op's mom, are you kidding me? Op didn't say if the...

  22. Suggestions on first nursing job

    SionainnRN replied to MichiganRN13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Most hospitals, at least in my area, have new grad positions. This allows NG with no experience to get an in on the floors. Take a look at hospitals career board, talk to your teachers to see if they...

  23. RN's! I need your advice!!

    SionainnRN replied to kelso1001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What is MPCU? As a new grad I started in the Trauma ICU, they liked hiring new grads because they didn't have to untrain the bad habits some nurses pick up on med/surg. What do you want to do in the...

  24. Non-rebreather use?

    SionainnRN replied to Do_Good's topic in General Nursing

    Yep like the others said, you were fine with the NRB but too low on your O's. Next time take a good look at the NRB and make sure the bag is filled, it won't hurt anything by having the O's up more...

  25. Are Managers against nurses?

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

    Your post has NOTHING to do with managers being against nurses. You took overtime then wanted to call out? Nope, doesn't fly. I'm working 60 hours this week, 5 shifts, and guess what they called me...
