   "Your ER sucks!" and other pleasantries...how you handle them?

   uRNmyway replied to livingthedream77's topic in Emergency

   Oooh, hold on now. I come from somewhere that is pretty darn left-leaning. Unions are everywhere. If you work for a hospital, it is MANDATORY to be part of the union and pay their dues. Nurse to...

   What Keeps Nurses Up at Night?

   uRNmyway replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   Ok, I'll bite. What keeps me up at night is feeling like what I do is completely useless. I entered nursing to make a difference, and there are so many patients, or so many shifts, that make you feel...

   More Examples of posting on Facebook and getting fired

   uRNmyway replied to RNIBCLC's topic in General Nursing

   Well........from what I read, it doesn't seem she was talking about a whole race of people getting mowed down, but those who were rioting and being violent in the streets. Or at least that's what I...

   Ever have a patient complain about you?

   uRNmyway replied to love lilacs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   It's been said, but as a nurse, if people never complain about you, I think you're not doing it right. People will always complain if they don't get what they want. And let's face it, if everyone...

   uRNmyway replied to tarotale's topic in Emergency

   Is it weird that this makes me jealous? Lol... I've been thinking lately that I should start applying for ED positions, I often work so darn hard as it is, I can't help but feel I might as well have...

   Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

   uRNmyway replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Wooh "You should probably stick to stripping and quit nursing. After all, shifts go much smoother when only men are working. Less drama and complaining. Women should stay where they belong, stripping...

   Being Asked to Come in and Work as CNA...

   uRNmyway replied to NurseQT's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Eh, if paid the wages for your degree of education, it's more a question of 'do I want to work overtime' rather than 'would you work as a CNA?'. Everything they do in a shift, I do as well. If you...

   Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

   uRNmyway replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   OMG you guys, nurses are supposed to be compassionate, never ever judgmental, paragons of virtue who want nothing more than to help others! How dare you make fun of people trying to get advice...

    How do you handle inappropriate touching from patients?

    uRNmyway replied to marvelmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just to be clear, i liked your post for the fact that you are defending being uncomfortable with this behavior, and rightfully so. How is this any different than someone on the bus trying to do...

    uRNmyway replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    THIS!!! Seriously, I must have missed the part of my nursing school application or licensing paperwork where I agreed to be a martyr for humanity. No one else watches out for us... Our employers?...

    Nurses who believe in herbal nonsense, alternative medicine, anti vaccine etc

    uRNmyway replied to mhy12784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I definitely think there is a place for 'herbal nonsense', aka natural medicine. While I may not tell people to stop taking their meds and switch to herbal, I see nothing wrong with telling them to...

    What's the craziest thing a patient or family member has said to you?

    uRNmyway replied to monkeybug's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I once had a pt who was pregnant with twins. She went into labor at 25 weeks, and had to be rushed to emergency c-section. Unfortunately, despite my colleagues' hard work, one baby died in the OR and...
