  2. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    kalevra replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    kalevra replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    kalevra replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If this gamble works, I imagine a director will be getting a sizeable bonus. However, I don't think their bonus will even come close to what the CEO makes. For now it is a wait and

    kalevra replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    Oh my god, I just wanted to share some good news about having a great day at work with an all male crew. All of a sudden it turns into a "med suck or women suck thread". Seriously I wanted to share...

  14. Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    kalevra replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand if you have a PhD, you are entitled to be called "Doctor". The clarification I am looking for is if an NP with a masters degree worked in a clinical setting that allows NPs to be called...

  15. All Men Shift

    kalevra replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am not joking, we RNs mop floors. My hospital fired all the CNAs, and cut back to one janitor at night. RNs in my hospital have picked up all the duties the janitor used to do, all to save the...

  19. Surrendering RN Scope!

    kalevra replied to jegalink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    AGREED. I find it strange that we are also tied to room charge like houskeeping. Even RTs and PTs charge per procedure. Unless nursing at bedside can take charge of their own financials, we will...

    kalevra replied to jegalink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In order to maintain my own sanity I have come to terms with the reality of nursing. Focus on getting the paperwork right, and make the hospital money. If you get those two things right, you will be...
