    You want me to send Kcmylorn up there? Sounds like a nurse that can get reform going in your facility:) Kcmylorn can use the "Chuck Norris" style discussion to bring them to reason, best idea so

    Alternatives for 12 step ?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Zookeeper3's topic in Addictions

    Just wanted to add a clarification I didn't make in the above post. I do believe addiction is a mental disease. I believe the 12 steps and AA/NA have saved many lives and that post was in no way to...

    @anotherone: Okay, yes, fail. I guess ignore is only way. But, I still don't give out my cell to management. I have bought a lil' cheap Nokia Tracfone while with Fastaff, if "on call." I just...

    Sucide lies: is it CYA or blaming?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Tiffanybaybay's topic in Emergency

    No, it's an emergency department I failed to say, so they are pulled off from taking cases, and placed on the 1:1. It's rare, but with the holidays coming, it will happen. There are always plenty of...

    Why did you become a nurse?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Because I needed a job with flexible hours, a fresh clean workplace, cheerful co-workers, and I wanted to spend all my holidays at home with my family. Also, I love the challenge of trying to hold...

    I would never ever ever ever give out my cell number, if I am "On Assignment," they have the land line number to my room. This is harassment, and you guys must be very cordial-because that would not...

    P.S. many larger facilities have Employee Assistance Programs, check for one of these or the like next time you have some trouble-as they are a wonderful resource to struggling

    Wow, I don't know what to say about this other than pure honesty. You were fired three straight times, admit no fault, call it "school yard bullying," but if I was interviewing you I would really...

    Sucide lies: is it CYA or blaming?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Tiffanybaybay's topic in Emergency

    In a large hospital in the DFW area, I saw a hospital with a 1:1 suicide precaution policy try to put a Tech in room watching 2 patients. She refused, but was literally "went off on" by a nursing...

    BostonTerrierLover replied to itsnowornever's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am so glad there are L & D Nurses, because Boston hasn't stepped a paw into one since Nursing School, but an L & D Nurse is often the Very First Person a new person sees (in my case too...

    BostonTerrierLover replied to guest416560's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to kick a hornets nest, just an observation. When someone does something beyond our comprehension, we (I'm guilty too) call them "mentally ill." I believe there are just some really...

    I admit it, I did it so I could divert those foil top Grape Juices-now I'm hooked on them really bad, and I am trying to drink water, but shake badly, and get real twitchy. I will try to to quit...

    From experience, has anyone had a relatively low stress nursing job ?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to studentnurse9806's topic in General Nursing

    Probably so, since I can't recall you from your picture, cute. But, stated with clarity, the things that stressed me out on the floor (med surge, tele, and post surgical units) aren't present in the...
