  1. Scolded WHY?

    xtxrn replied to BeautifulDoeLVN's topic in General Nursing

    That is so sad, but I've seen the RN-Queen syndrome a LOT. I hated the hierarchy in that it made those with bizarre ego problems absolute tyrants to work with. The other staff avoided them, and the...

  3. She/He Did What?!

    xtxrn replied to walkingonthestars's topic in General Nursing

    This is an excellent point. :) Start a good one ! (don't want to steal your idea, or I'd go ahead and do it) :) I do see that there can be some learning from the ones who make mistakes, all of...

  5. Scolded WHY?

    xtxrn replied to BeautifulDoeLVN's topic in General Nursing

    :eek: So the LVN is supposed to blow this off ? A good friend of mine is an LVN, and worked home health for a while- and she had no issues calling docs and getting what the patient needed- without...

  18. When an employee is a patient

    xtxrn replied to LaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    Patients ask for coffee all the time at night, because they don't sleep well in hospitals (evidently for good reason). If there were no specific orders for no caffeine (like an EEG), then there's no...

  19. When an employee is a patient

    xtxrn replied to LaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    And that is wrong- a patient is a patient. While some may be annoying (don't know that the bf actually was), they don't receive less care as some sort of nurse 'revenge'..... that's just

  20. When an employee is a patient

    xtxrn replied to LaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    Since none of us besides the OP was there, how can you say that they're not truthful? Nurses CAN be horrible. And yes- if they don't like someone, they blow them off. BTDT. I worked nights for...

  22. Textbook nursing vs. real world nursing.

    xtxrn replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    Way back when- they may still use these, but when I stopped working, they'd been scarce for a while-- external catheters for men (for a while they made them for women- big disaster) were often...

    xtxrn replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only RN in the building some nights (when I was a GN-- and worked many nights as charge when she was off) would doze off. It stunk. I really liked her, and didn't want to say anything ,but the...

    xtxrn replied to LaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    Have reread this.... I apologize for my jumping to inaccurate conclusions. I should have believed this more quickly- and have had numerous horrendous experiences (not inpatient though- mostly at one...

  25. When an employee is a patient

    xtxrn replied to LaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been reading through this again.... NO....it's not hard to believe at all that judgements are made, and treated poorly. That is very believable. BTDT....and I'm
