    I work at a hospital that has a tower called the Hilton Tower. I so would LOVE to tell these high maintenance folks that although we are called that, it should not be confused for the

    Post-discharge Phone Calls

    RosesrReder replied to nicurn23's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We do post discharge phone calls, but imho are basically stupid. Ours are all customer service related, opportunity to complain about someone/something. At the very end something to the effect of...

    RosesrReder replied to lccougar02's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our level III NICU has been very slow for the past 2.5 months as well. I work Regional Float Pool and have been working my 3 shifts or more if I want. The NICU nurses float to newborn nursery or...

    How did your employer recognize Nurse's Day?

    RosesrReder replied to allevi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No such thing as nurse's week. It's 'healthcare week'. A banner was placed in the lobby. All got a cheap pen that write in BLUE (useless for any paperwork) and aides got a plastic clipboard with...

    Daycare when working 12-hour shifts

    RosesrReder replied to fwardlaw147's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I was lucky to relocate recently to an area that offers 24 hour daycare and it's a lifesaver. When I didn't have that blessing, I searched for in-home daycare. The hours were very strict for some of...

    How far would you drive for a job as a new grad?

    RosesrReder replied to krstxn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For me, I'd go with time it would take me to and from not the miles. I live in a very congested area with horrid traffic. I'd be willing to sacrifice 1hr each way tops (commute time). That is what...

    Just wondering... what would you want your kids to do for a living?

    RosesrReder replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    As long as it is legal, decent and makes her VERY happy. I want her to be whatever she wants. If she wanted to be a nurse, I'd support her too. Of course, I'd try to sway her into something else...

    New RN w/$99k debt - Pay Off Plan

    RosesrReder replied to sozo's topic in General Nursing

    I went to a private college (very expensive) in CT and have nowhere near that amount of student loans. Although very well possible in her case. I still think these must be combined with maybe a...

    Nurses as secretaries

    RosesrReder replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    From a patient aspect, I would much rather have the nurse assigned to me taking care of myself through hands on care than her taking more of the already limited time away from my bedside and that of...

    Nurses as secretaries

    RosesrReder replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am a little confused, so my apologies in advance. So just because you've been running a ward for decades and it's what you are accustomed to, it SHOULD be like that. Or because you did your...

    Nurses as secretaries

    RosesrReder replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    For a moment I thought we worked at the same place except in my place(s) of employment (Regional float pool) you, the nurse, are expected to enter all your orders while managing a heavy team. No...
