    Opinion, how would you have handled this?

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

    Ok, seriously, do not be beating yourself up over this. First, let me congratulate you on your pregnancy, and throw in a big hug. And heck yes, it IS an excuse! Every department I have EVER worked on,...

    i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

    uRNmyway replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh yes, heard that one before. We had one lady who went one step farther. When we told her someone was not doing well and we needed to attend to them first, she responded 'I don't care, I am more...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well the comparison is between Alaska as a state, and Washington DC specifically, unless I

    Difficulty with coworkers

    uRNmyway replied to MiriamRn's topic in Emergency

    Honestly as far as not having many friends (or none) and not really getting along with your co-workers I can relate. I rarely have in any job I've had. I've just had to come to terms with how socially...

    question: can you chart on a pt. being rude?

    uRNmyway replied to aligar89's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow, if we could fine for that kind of behavior I can tell you LOTS of people would be paying out the Wazoo.... Although by my experience, in Quebec, they don't pay out of pocket for healthcare so...

    I BLEW MY CHANCE !!

    uRNmyway replied to Bigmaine33's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm going to agree with other posters. As a new grad, I think that patient load is way too heavy. Heck, I think it is kind of heavy even for someone who has some experience. First, if you really...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People who want to kill, harm, subjugate or enslave are going to do so regardless of their reasons. Unfortunately, historically, religion has been the most respected and thus best excuse to give...

    Snow- at what point do you call out?

    uRNmyway replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, looking at the forecasts for my colleagues to the north, I'm thinking that all of you who venture out are pretty darn brave. From what I hear, those people might end up stuck at their jobs due to...

    What if we had to tell the real truth when asked about our weaknesses?

    uRNmyway replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, work related weaknesses? I definitely have a punctuality issue. Even if I get up earlier in the morning, watch the clock, skip things I really ought to do, for some reason or another, I usually...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I actually have, I gave birth to my daughter there. And when I felt decreased fetal movements one night around midnight and drove myself there, I was very nervous. It was definitely not something I...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And Wooh, I also wanted to say that even if we disagree on this, I still very much respect your knowledge, your caring, as well as your optimism, although I think the utopia needed for what you...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wooh, since your comment seemed aimed at me, I'll respond. If I WERE to get a gun, I would be responsible about it and go to target practice. Can you even do that with a taser? If I admit that aim is...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To add to what you said CountyRat, and to repeat what I said before, linking your country's low crime rates with low gun availability is misleading too. How Switzerland Developed a Gun Culture That...

    Assisted living in my home?

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hmm, I don't know about the foster kids thing. My grandparents used to do this and they often had a very difficult time with the behavioral problems many of them had. Some got violent with them, and I...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow...by trying to belittle Alabama do you realize how ignorant you made YOURSELF appear? Can you explain how wanting to carry a weapon for protection has ANYTHING to do with racism? If anything,...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it would depend on the circumstance. If someone threatened harm to my child, or actually did, and I shot them, I would call 911, but would not do anything. Otherwise, my intent would be to...

    Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

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

    And like others have said, my job is in HEALTHcare. That means that my primary focus is the patient's health. If pushing your meds faster than recommended could cause severe problems, I'm not going...

    Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

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

    Well see that's the thing. If you go in any other business and give them attitude, yell, swear, threaten, or actually physically attack, what happens? You get thrown out at the very least, might be...

    uRNmyway replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh darn, EatMySoxRN... thats the first one I thought of.. Hospitals, the only place where someone WANTS a detailed description of your bowel movements, vomit, secretions, etc. AND wants to see

    Assisted living in my home?

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    My idea was kind of to stay with private pay. I just figured it would be less complicated, and like you, figured that might make a difference as far as JAHCO and all that. I also did anticipate that I...

    What's the biggest mistake you've ever made as a nurse? What did you learn from it?

    uRNmyway replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I did that in all the clinical settings I went to. I told the nurses if they had something they thought I should see and learn, to please let me know! My teachers were also aware that I wanted to see...

    uRNmyway replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

    Was public education any better before Bush? It seems to me the problem is with education, or lack of it. That's what happens when the focus is more on the number of people graduating or passing tests...
