My thought and prayers are with you Esme

Thank you Vivalasviejas for these wonderful posts! They are very insightful to nurses who are dealing with MI and coworkers we may In counter. I worked with a wonderful nurse who dealt with bipolar, she would take medical leave frequently. Finally af...

Love it!

Wow. Very meaningful and powerful I'm the "calling camp" Here and ready too fight for our rights

I work with adults but I am very territorial over my pts too. I want to know who you are and what you are doing. Iam not rude or anything and iam more then willing to help or answer their questions. If my baby was in NICU I would want a awesome nurse...

Thank you grntea! Iam sick of the whining too. Lets stick together and make change happen.

I come with no judgements you see For newbie I must break thee The world is not kind And you must come prepared Otherwise it will have you on allnurses.com Saying "why iam leaving the nursing field " So soldier, "This We'll Defend" We fight this fig...

Every place I've worked RN can insert and X-ray done for placement. I don't see the difference between ngt and dobhoff. Ones smaller and both going to the same place

Such a beautiful writing.

Hang in there it's almost over. Good luck

I agree with munoRN. 10mls of waste for each lab draw is too much. Picc lines are in the SVC and the blood flow is extremely fast.

I don't answer. My family is # 1 in my life not my job. I love my job but its only part of my life so if its my day off I have no problem not coming in. You could bust your ass working for hospitals working nonstop and they will let you. Get a worker...

Iam sorry this happen too you. Its hard to believe that you were fired for just one incident. The magical number 60 comes from what is a normal heart rate anything less then 60 is considered Bradycardia.

It is always your fault...

Too ask if the consequence is fair, I don't think you have a choice in the consequence only the accountability. Rule #1. TRUST NOBODY!

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing

Iam so sorry for your assault. Our job is tough. I injured my back 10 years ago and still have chronic pain issues. When I first injured it my doctor was staight forth and said once you injure your back its for life. This really helped me get through...

Exactly!

I agree that this post will help other nurses avoid this mistake. Its the reason I opened up this thread because I try to learn from others mistakes

What happen to healing the patient physically,mentally,emotionally and Spiritually? I'd rather have a nurse try to bring God into my life then someone there just for the paycheck.

Working 12 hours is not healthy for your body. Its just to long of a shift. I work usually 50 miles away from work so I add on 2 hours or more of commute time so the day ends of being 15-16 hours. Your tired at 1700 because your body is shuttung down...

IF a person is sick enough to be hospitalized then they should not be allowed to leave the floor. The first hospital I worked at patients were not allowed to leave the floor period. Then I worked at a hospital in a large metropolitan city and patient...

When I worked 12 hours and my boss came to me about my 'poor time mangement ' I looked at her and said I signed up for 12 hour shifts not 13-14 hours we need more staffing the acuity is too high. She just said well just make sure you write down a rea...

i have to agee with grntea. i don't see anyone paying off the debt for you but i would recommened some debt counseling to see how to get yourself out of this hole. there's plenty of overtime in nursing!

Well said!!!
