  1. Advice needed problem nurse

    Bruin's Mom replied to Confused DON's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    i completely understand your desire to fire this person; however, have you thought about talking to her about her behavior and why she has done the things she has done? maybe there is more to the...

  2. Administrators

    Bruin's Mom replied to c.oconnor's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    And in the day and age of email, PLEASE do not encourage employees to email the DON/DNS or yourself with interpersonal conflicts that cannot be resolved because they are petty and small. Yes, I know...

  3. Wanting to get back in the game

  4. Wanting to get back in the game

    Bruin's Mom posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone! After reading the article "Ten ways to tell your burning out" I realize I made the correct decision by taking off some time and regrouping. I have been off since June. I needed to...

  6. Discussions always so hostile here?

    Bruin's Mom replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe people are angry here or hostile, I just think that everyone at this site has different types of experiences and would like to share the way they cope with the nursing profession...

  7. Credit checks and employment

    Bruin's Mom replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    Do you actually think that every nurse that you work with has perfect credit? No you cannot be denied a job due to the fact that you have bad credit, it is discriminatory. And just to let you know,...

  8. Credit checks and employment

    Bruin's Mom replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of a place checking your credit for a nursing position; in fact, I believe it is illegal to even look into that. I think if they didn't hire you because of bad credit wouldn't that...

  9. anyone taken a break from nursing?

    Bruin's Mom replied to nursingisok's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently on break from nursing. My last job was in addictions nursing which was horrible. First, I don't believe people have addictions they make choices; then my supervisor never did anything...

  10. When enough is enough - attitudes on the floor

    Bruin's Mom replied to amarilla's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It disappoints me that the nursing profession has come to this. I have been in the same boat. I have been berated, information told to the supervisor that wasn't true, etc. I have decided to take...

  11. pt complaint/called to office

    Bruin's Mom replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    Let 'em fire you then you can collect unemployment and look for a better

  12. While you're at it...can you clean my poop too?

    Bruin's Mom replied to Miller86's topic in General Nursing

    I love how we nurse ask patients to please "try and do things themselves" and as a result we are cruel and nasty nurses to the patients. I think there should be an inservice to incoming patients to...

  13. types of co-workers/patients to be aware of. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE?

    Bruin's Mom replied to tater.jake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!!! Yes they are the ones and if any LPN reads this and is offended go back to school, quit getting drunk and stop the baby momma/daddy drama..........or better yet,...

  14. Just need to vent

    Bruin's Mom replied to HDHRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately in the field of geriatrics people fall and we as nurses have no control over it. Please do not blame yourself, just make sure you document heavy and filled out the incident report...

  15. Almost Fired !

    Bruin's Mom replied to AlmostBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals especially med surg are breeding grounds for hostile work environments. I believe she should go to the meeting with hospital admin, make a game plan, and proceed if she wishes to stay there...

  16. Nurse Harassment!!!

    Bruin's Mom replied to supra-cna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I apologize deeply to you that you are going through this and that this is how nursing is being portrayed to you. One thing I can suggest is that every facility has a corporate compliance or HR...

  17. types of co-workers/patients to be aware of. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE?

    Bruin's Mom replied to tater.jake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I believe you missed the: "Wannabe RN" LPN who can't keep her nose out of others business, does very little work and expects the RN supervisor to pick up the rest. The "Up the DON's *** LPN/CNA/RN...

  18. Alcoholism: disease or choice?

    Bruin's Mom replied to HonestRN's topic in Addictions

    Well if you are not responsible for it who is? You took the meds and now you are claiming that addiction is a "disease?" As a nurse you should have known the risk when taking opioids and the fact...

  19. Alcoholism: disease or choice?

    Bruin's Mom replied to HonestRN's topic in Addictions

    Being a drunk and a drug addict is a choice. I don't think anyone who has these issues should be in nursing at all. I have been exposed to working with nurses who claim to have "addiction" issues...

  20. can they use this against my license?

    Bruin's Mom replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    To define negligence you have to have cause and effect. The cause here is that the patient was diabetic, the effect was that no harm was done no one died and the patient was ok. I think "regular"...

  21. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    Bruin's Mom replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Another satisfied customer of overworked, under appreciated nurses. I feel that maybe the doctor should have ordered daily cleansing enemas QID for this

  22. Blister Pack Blues & The Dreaded Med Pass

    Bruin's Mom replied to croppyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One thing I have gotten into the habit of is keeping a list of all the meds missing and making out an incident report. At least you would have a paper trail and it looks like the pharmacy may not be...

  24. What is the difference between LPNs and RNs?

    Bruin's Mom replied to Chameleonchick's topic in LPN to RN

    No comment made was derogatory just factual. In addition, it is my first amdendment to free speech whether offensive or

  25. What is the difference between LPNs and RNs?

    Bruin's Mom replied to Chameleonchick's topic in LPN to RN

    LPN's are one of the reasons why I want out of nursing. They have ruined my total outlook and faith in the nursing profession. No LPN has the right to tell an RN how to do their job. I show no...
