  1. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    suzil replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Every single hospital has a Disaster List. I don't know if this is what they are thinking of. Florida is a pretty Employee centered state. Right to Work States like Florida and Arizona are pretty...

  2. Leaving nursing job after 2 months

    suzil replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    But she feels nursing is like "waitressing" I don't think she likes the duties of being a nurse. You know patients can sense this. She doesn't feel intellectually challenged being a nurse. At 2...

  3. Leaving nursing job after 2 months

    suzil replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    How in the world did you "watch" your Great Grandmother work? How was that

  4. Leaving nursing job after 2 months

    suzil replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    But obviously she doesn't care for the patient contact. That is what she does not find challenging. She doesn't see the importance of bedside nursing. She doesn't realize the potential of the life...

  5. Why do we do codes?

    suzil replied to scrubs0204's topic in General Nursing

    However, it is not ever our job to be God. We don't decide not to Code someone unless they have a for certain DNR. We do what is right for

  6. Med error :(

    suzil replied to grace567's topic in General Nursing

    You are doing the right thing by reporting it to your supervisor. The order on the MAR should have stated the correct dose if it was changed. Hopefully it will be a lesson that will prevent future...

  7. Verbally Abused

    suzil replied to Bubbles72's topic in General Nursing

    You always have to remember they are the patient. That is probably part of their illness. They can very well be lashing out due to so many issues going on within them. This type of behavior is not...

  8. Ebola... What'cha Gonna Do When It Comes to You

    suzil replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The applying and removing of this specialized PPE is different. That is why they are recommending a buddy with

  9. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    suzil replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with your post. I've heard much more negative and very mean statements coming out of the public's mouth as well as other nurses at work about this incident. Unfortunately, the 2nd nurse is...

  10. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    suzil replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My error in reading the name Nurse Leigh in the prior post. I realized it was written by Ruby Vee. People please quit trying to be so

  11. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    suzil replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What the heck are you talking about? I merely related how when I run a very slight temp I know I am sick! My gosh some of YOU people here are off your block! So, people cannot write their own...

  12. Ebola: Why Respiratory Protection MUST Be Worn

    suzil replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your system over there puts ours to shame! I could tell you horrible situations that I have witnessed due to lax on this topic of Infection Control. I swear you would not believe it. Every single...

  13. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    suzil replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think it is that black & white about the fever. When I run a temp of 99.5, I KNOW I am sick. Then again, I know my body. Everyone is different. I normally run extremely low temps so...

  14. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No one is upset at those stating they would refuse to care for them. The reality in a right to work state is, you refuse to care for them, you are considered insubordination. They don't care. How...

  15. Will the Texas ED RN become a scapegoat in the Ebola patient discharge?

    suzil replied to preddish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What news station was this on? Where they admitted not having the full gear from the get go? I am so not surprised at this! How many times are hospital officials so leary to place anyone in...

  16. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unfortunately for nurses it is a total no win situation. I am certain most nurses working today are doing so because they have bills to pay. I for one, would NOT being doing this job if I had...

  17. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My concern for that nurse that spoke up. I feel for her and her courage. However, she is in Texas and she has virtually no protection for her job. Her lawyer even commented on that. Plus she will...

  18. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My thoughts exactly! Obama, what on earth are you thinking? We needed a specialized infectious disease physician, a scientist that is a leader in this virus or even a professor in this field. No,...

  19. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And we nurses would be written up. Reprimanded, insulted in front of other staff. They would get rid of us. We have no protection. You can't compare us to doctors. Their boards are supportive of...

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

    suzil replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How many of you out there have the appropriate equipment at work? I know we

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

    suzil replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can say I have been hit by projectile diarrhea! I had on my flimsy yellow paper gown, gloves, shoe coverings (that I insisted I use) and I got C-diff! I did the best I could do. The poor patient...

  22. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had high hopes for our Government putting the right people in positions to look out for the public's health interest. I do not have much confidence in our own leaders right now. Personally, I...

  23. Ebola... What'cha Gonna Do When It Comes to You

    suzil replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Our hospital just sends out emails! We don't even get a video describing how to use the flimsy yellow paper gowns, wow, I sure feel safe.

  24. Ebola... What'cha Gonna Do When It Comes to You

    suzil replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We will NOT have enough special rooms in our country to treat these Ebola cases. Does any of our officials realize this? This is going to get worse. Also they keep comparing us to the Doctors...

  25. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    All my hospital has are those flimsy paper yellow gowns! Do I feel comfortable with that? heck
