  6. Required to work as PCA instead of being cancelled!

    As long as they paid RN salary and I didn't have to do RN work as well as aide work, it would be fine with me, even working in the kitchen would be fine as long as they paid me RN pay! It would be a...

  8. Being falsely accused of neglect/abuse

  9. Questioning "gut instincts"

    Some nursing homes won't accept patients with a foley or an IV access, found out when calling report, so in that case they had to be taken out before going back to the nursing

  13. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    This is a little removed from the topic, but even though a patient is alert and oriented doesn't necessarily mean that they are reliable. I have had patients in the hospital that have said they were...
  14. Why Are 12 hour shifts the standard?

    Being floated everywhere and anywhere, including units, when one is not qualified, sure sounds like an HCA hospital I
  16. team building

    Wow, I'm glad I don't work there if they all can't stand one another. Too bad it wasn't elementary school, and you could have everyone come up with one positive thing or one thing that they like...
  17. Is 3rd shift all there is for new nurses?

    I have worked places where new grads got day shift immediately upon hire, so I guess it depends on where you work or maybe who you know. :) Unfortunately that never happened in my case, off shift or...

    Maybe that attitude is why they are short nurses on that floor. It's very difficult these days, the workload on med-surg is so heavy, and then to have to deal with the nasty staff on top of it. Hang...
