    Health care a "right" or a "privilege"?

    uRNmyway replied to monkago2009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's a nice big thread in the activism part of AN about this. But yeah, I tend to

    Wow, really sorry to hear about that GrnTea...Wish you luck finding more clients and getting in touch with the

    I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    Actually, there are probably a lot more nurses who think venting on here is more professional than venting other ways. IE venting at home, at work, etc. And I would take the opinion of nurses, who...

    I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    I personally have never seen a post that could identify a patient definitively. Either the members are smart enough not to violate HIPAA, or the mods get 'em for breaking TOS. But you know what?...

    I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    Guys, I completely agree with the frustration, but let's try to remember that at one point WE were also the rose-colored glass wearing student nurses who thought we could change the world. It won't...

    I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    If we can't vent on here, with people who are supposed to be other nurses, people who know what we go through day in and out, where else? Do we let it bottle up? Do we end up just exploding at...

    I am struggling with patient families lately.

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

    Wow, so your supervisor basically allowed HIPAA laws to be broken to bend over for this person? Is this was healthcare is coming to? Breaking laws all in the name of so-called customer service?

    Registration Typos

    uRNmyway replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    God, do people not think of their kids and how people will be to them when they grow up? How mean will kids be in school with a kid called Toiletta? Or how seriously will prospective employers take...

    Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    uRNmyway replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Nope, that didn't come off as sarcastic to me. It came off as correctly stating what this page is. And some people who come on here DO need to be reminded of that fact, as evidenced by the number of...

    Several issues with management, please help

    uRNmyway replied to herowneulogy's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with above posters. Also, isn't there some kind of whistle blower protection? Sounds to me like those conditions are unsafe for employees and patients. Would that fall under OSHA somehow?...

    Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    uRNmyway replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    What in the world was miserable, sarcastic, or bitter about her post? She correctly stated that this is a nursing website, which is why there would be 'medical mumble jumble'. It's not like it is...

    When did you realize that "newbie" wouldn't cut it in the ER?

    uRNmyway replied to lvnlrn's topic in Emergency

    Lol, am I the only one who noticed the context of that previous post and giggled a bit? 'Couldn't even spell good'? Sorry, no offense meant, just a Monday morning brain

    do i need to tell them about my license?

    uRNmyway replied to cecilia6's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought is that if the job you are applying for does not require a nursing licence, there is no reason to give them your nursing licence number. And with that, no reason to mention any...

    Need Advice from Nurses!

    uRNmyway replied to auntlala's topic in Nursing Career

    You also need to keep in mind that some hospitals and departments are not super friendly to travel nurses. They will take you because they need the staff, but will treat you terribly while you are...

    Need Advice from Nurses!

    uRNmyway replied to auntlala's topic in Nursing Career

    God, no, TAKE IT!!!!! DO IT!!! In this economy, you need to jump on that before they change their minds. Travel nursing and agency nursing contracts are getting fewer and farther between. Those...

    ER Nurse Attitude

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

    I very well may be wrong, and the nurse might have been rude just because. But if there were literally patients dying in that moment, I might be a little more abrupt than usual if a family member was...

    Pumping at Work???

    uRNmyway replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, probably weaned, but the fact that some nurses are so un-supportive of breastfeeding mommies is kind of sad. Especially considering how many of us have to cover for those who need a cigarette...

    SICK of BSN Pedestal

    uRNmyway replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    And this attitude my friends is why so many people with ADNs resent the BSN nurses. Being told that OUR degree is useless and that we didn't learn anything? Being told that a BSN nurse would do the...

    SICK of BSN Pedestal

    uRNmyway replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok, this is a very much discussed topic. I see both sides of the coin on this. I graduated from nursing school in Quebec. My degree is the US equivalent of the ADN, maybe even 'just' a diploma....

    You Know You're A *Pediatric* Nurse When

    uRNmyway replied to slbull07's topic in Pediatric

    See, I read this and think, 'This is what I am meant to do.' Then I look at my daughter and feel the panic rise because thinking of sick/injured kids reminds me how fragile she is. How do you do

    Looking for a pick me up:/

    uRNmyway replied to kclpn2013's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if something was missed at work, you are not solely responsible for it, unless you are the only nurse on staff. Other nurses have also missed whatever care was supposed to be done. From your...

    Angry Nurse here!

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

    Lol, well I think there is a difference between placing a bear trap under a window to trap a home invader vs. a little ex-lax laced treat. The bear trap is clearly meant to cause harm, whereas the...

    Things pts say that make you scratch your head.

    uRNmyway replied to Mommy&RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree, they probably don't. But I think even the powdered, just-add-water mixes probably have some kind of egg protein in there for binding purposes. Anyhoo, kind of off topic

    Angry Nurse here!

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

    Now WHY in the world would you get in trouble? The lunch was packed for YOU! If this person gets sick for eating a lunch intended for someone else, why is it your fault? That is like a thief trying to...
