    Is there really no way to refuse a mandatory flu shot?

    uRNmyway replied to tariqblaze's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seriously, I see a lot more nasty, infection spreading behavior from patients than from staff. Droplet precautions? Oh, but Mr. Claustrophobia can't keep the door closed, and apparently his parents...

    classmate insists on posting her opinion

    uRNmyway replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    Right, I'm sitting here trying to figure out just what kind of injection. IM, IV, SQ? Do they like...boil it or something beforehand? Whiskey tango

    Inconsiderate Co-workers/Shift Change

    uRNmyway replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I used to have issues with one person in particular at my previous job. I tried talking to her, management, director, you name it. Finally one day she did pretty much what you describe, came in late,...

    Nurse Shoe shopping/Baltimore area?

    uRNmyway replied to sparky605's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Don't know of a store in Baltimore, but with Sanita and Dansko's shoes, you can buy them online and return them within like a month if there is no damage to them. I just got the Sanita equivalent of...

    Why is there so much drama in a field where we help people?

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

    I really wasn't. I was just trying to explain the stress we are under, and given the fact that we are human, that stress will affect us and we will have moments where we might be a bit more abrupt...

    Why is there so much drama in a field where we help people?

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

    Lol, I know it wasn't. I was trying to make a point that aides often don't get what we do and what we go through, even if they are on the same floor and same shift as us. Are you deliberately trying...

    Why is there so much drama in a field where we help people?

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

    Actually, had you bothered to read, you would see that I had commented on your post. And being an aide, while giving you insight to healthcare, does not show you nursing. How many threads are there...

    Why is there so much drama in a field where we help people?

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

    But seriously, I can't help but notice your name. As a student nurse, please try to refrain from criticizing us until you have walked a mile in our shoes. That kind of thing does tend to get people on...

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

    I've often had colleagues think I was stand-offish when I would go have lunch by myself. They couldn't get that I just wanted to be with by private thoughts rather than sit with colleagues who would...

    spinal cord injury

    uRNmyway replied to rahulsharma's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well this kinda sounds like you just copy-pasted something you saw in a book...can you give us something from you? Your interpretation, what YOU think would be issues? Think of what those different...

    What do I do....

    uRNmyway replied to jnurse2011's topic in Home Health

    I'd say it depends on your employment contract with them. When I worked HH, my contract specified I couldn't work for any of their clients for a period of two years after I left their company. Read it...

    Whats your NICU experience?

    uRNmyway replied to jackiei3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I used to think NICU was what I wanted to do. Then the realities of nursing in general, coupled with becoming a mother myself, made me change my aspirations. Could not deal with what you all go...

    uRNmyway replied to Al.ginger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Perhaps OP lets on that this isn't their ideal position. In this case, would make sense for others to be promoted before

    ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    uRNmyway replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Let's just agree that some floor nurses will whine and complain no matter what because they don't want an admission, and some ER nurses don't care where they send their patient, so long as they get...

    Quebec integration program for nurses

    uRNmyway replied to Remnant_89's topic in Immigration Advice

    Wait, who's the genius who told you this? That makes no sense whatsoever. Basically, anyone who lands in Quebec is an immigrant? Doing a squint eyed head tilt to figure out how this makes

    Nursing Nightmares

    uRNmyway replied to 0.adamantite's topic in General Nursing

    Similar to yours I guess. Dreams that no matter what I do, I can never catch up. It'll be hours after my shift has ended and I'm not done, still getting admissions, patients crumping, and those awful...

    No more phlebotomist in the hospital?!

    uRNmyway replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    As I've mentioned in other posts on here, where I used to work, night shift, we had 8-9 pts. No phlebotomists, our techs didn't do vitals or accuchecks. We did have RT, and we did have someone to do...
