  1. HELP I NEED ADVICE

    RNGriffin replied to nette1022's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I followed correctly, you had the patient on Saturday but wrote Tuesday( 3 days later) date on your paper work? I don't see the big deal, and how this could be considered fraud. To be exact, fraud...

  2. this is why people still think there's a nursing shortage!

    RNGriffin replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I never understood why people automatically assumed nurses make huge salaries. There are many careers that pay much nicer than nursing... Well lets fact check, I have a Masters in Health...

  3. this is why people still think there's a nursing shortage!

    RNGriffin replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say there isn't a nursing shortage, because there is. The twist is, there is a shortage for people who actually want and like to be nurses. There will always be a shortage of specialized...

    RNGriffin replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  5. The Culture of Nursing

    RNGriffin replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

  7. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RNGriffin replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing. This has become a more "help me I can't find a job board" than a colleague board. I think there is room for all discussions, but we're inundated with the "I am...

  11. Need opinions on new grad BSN RN with 3 years as LPN pay increase

    RNGriffin replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where do you live? This is all dependent on location. Many new grads will end up at 21-23 dollars in the south. To the southerners, this is a lot of money. If you were to take that same pay to NY,...

  13. Racism in the workplace

    RNGriffin replied to einnil's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Depends on the what is being said.... I've had patients tell me a colorful story about the black girl and the three priest. I've had patients refer to me as an "Orderly" (this was a young nurse who...

  15. "So what is going on with them?" <-- Is that statement an invasion of privacy

    RNGriffin replied to HHN2472's topic in General Nursing

    It's a harmless question. Her job is to inform the office nurses and physician of the patients that are coming in. Maybe this is a multi-practice office and she sincerely needs to figure out which...

  19. "Loosing" my license

    RNGriffin replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    New Grads come out of school sensitive, tormented, and all but physically abused by these new clinical instructors. I believe there should be some fear of losing your license because you are...

  20. I Just Need To Vent A Bit... Or A Lot.

    RNGriffin replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Career

    Why would your license expire a year before you've had it? Did I read the

  21. Here's a new one: chart assessments before midnight.....

    RNGriffin replied to mom-wife-nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So, there is no room for error? Also, what's the nurse-patient ratio? What is your documentation consisting of? Because, I've had a nurse chart ahead on a patient who was in a safety bed. Needless to...
