    What patients/behaviors/illnesses/injuries do you HATE the most?

    SHGR replied to JZ_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I generally like "psych patients": the schizophrenics, schizoid, schizotypal, bipolar, or depressed people. Since there is a higher incidence of T2DM in these folks, I work with them a lot. I think...

    Ethical/Personal Dilemma - What would you do?

    SHGR replied to EMEddie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    OP, this is not the kind of person to consider a friend. You need to present your evidence to the higher ups and be done with her. You will encounter more ethical dilemmas as a nurse, believe me,...

    Volunteer turn teams?

    SHGR replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    OP, maybe this will help your situation: I think sometimes people make too big a deal out of turning. Like it means turn on all the lights (ok, I worked a lot of nights), fling off all the covers,...

    Volunteer turn teams?

    SHGR replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    I candy striped in the 90's - literally, the uniform was a candy striped pinafore. I ran errands, got supplies, delivered ice water. Sometimes they had me do I&O after I had been there awhile....

    SHGR replied to bubblejet50's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agreed with PP. Also lesson learned about always dressing on the nicer side for anything like that- I always go office casual for training unless coming right from work in scrubs. It's a good work...

    Is my e-mail address okay?

    SHGR replied to xInspiredx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Energy drinks and teens coming to ER with chest pain

    SHGR replied to mt3's topic in Emergency

    That is what many people think. "It's all natural!" However, nurses' collective anecdotal evidence shows otherwise. Have studies been done? Seems like the FDA believes the stuff is safe for all...

    Being bullied at work...

    SHGR replied to jval's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Psychotic! She "she prevented all the ones she didn't want to work with from getting in?" Who would want to work with a person like that? Where are the nurses when this is happening? What about...

    You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    SHGR replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Netglow and Altra, I think you're both right. Of course interviewers rate the person's response. The questions each have a purpose. But the interviewee is not privy to the process, and really can't...
