  1. Bedside reporting as a management tool of humiliation

    Mr. Murse replied to sistrmoon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    wow.......and here we were at my job just complaining about having to go into the room for report. All these stories of abusive management and micromanaging makes me a lot more grateful for my...

  2. How do you not feel terrible after making mistakes during clinicals?

    Mr. Murse replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Students

    Where are you in school at (I mean what country/state)? your school sounds kind of ridiculously childish and

  3. Fired for following orders

    Mr. Murse replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    That's interesting. Our PCTs can remove foleys but that's about it. They can't even take out IVs any more, although they used to be allowed. I've had so many problematic foley insertions, I'm kind of...

  4. Fired for following orders

    Mr. Murse replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Wow.......PCTs in Ohio do dressing changes and insert foleys? you may want to check on the foley thing too......if they had an issue with an NG insertion, I don't know why they would be okay with you...

  5. Vital Signs Skills Return Demonstration

    Mr. Murse replied to apedrique's topic in General Students

    I don't think I was being negative at all. I was simply stating that you have all the answers right there with you and you could have probably found them in less time than it took to wait for someone...

  6. Medication safety what if...

    Mr. Murse replied to SBGangelJC's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I regularly carry meds in my pockets, it's rare that I can walk across my unit without having to do something else on the way. So I just do that instead of picking them up and setting them down all...

  7. Which to follow: MD or Policy?

    Mr. Murse replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    To me, it would depend on the doctor and your workplace in general. On the floors I've worked, we've had certain doctors that I knew liked things done a certain way and barring any contraindications,...

  8. Passed with 122 questions on second try!! Read me!

    Mr. Murse replied to GinabinaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To the OP, I understand what you are trying to say about being a nurse by having compassion and caring about people, etc. Don't cheapen your hard work (OUR hard work) by basically saying anyone that...

  9. Vital Signs Skills Return Demonstration

    Mr. Murse replied to apedrique's topic in General Students

    I'm a little confused as to why you're asking us what the normal ranges are......did you not get a text book or were not told in class? Every question you asked should be in your book and/or presented...

  10. Where Will I be 5 Years Post-Graduation from Nursing School?

    Mr. Murse replied to Nicole93's topic in General Students

    It's good to have plans, but don't try to put the cart before the horse. Like most professions, you're going to have to "pay some dues", for a lack of better words. Everything that you listed that...

  11. How old is too old for an Algebra class

    Mr. Murse replied to jensjo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anyone on this site can answer that for you with certainty. It's school specific. Go to the office and find out the next time you have class. Honestly though, algebra is really the main...

  12. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    Mr. Murse replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I personally believe there's nothing wrong with allowing bad habits here and there. I think some people become so obsessed and stressed with doing things the "right way" that it becomes just as...

  13. Beard as a male nurse?

    Mr. Murse replied to Jarl Redbeard's topic in Men in Nursing

    I haven't worked in many facilities as a nurse at this point in my career, but I've honestly been surprised how lax they are on many different aspects of their nurse's image. I see nurses with nail...

  14. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think this might be one of those exceptional cases too. I mean if you're a brand new, young nurse who's still learning the ropes and an older, seasoned nurse comes across to you as threatening for...

  15. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    Mr. Murse replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm guessing it's because obesity is so rampant in this country while the other things you mentioned, although still too common, are not as prominent or as obvious. I mean over one third of this...

  16. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    Mr. Murse replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    In my opinion, it's all 3 factors the OP mentioned. Honestly though, I feel like genetics is the weakest factor. I do believe certain people inherit certain physical and metabolic traits, but all that...

  17. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    Mr. Murse replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    Like most responses said.........just ignore it and go about your business. Reality is that we live in a world where rules are broken all the time, in every profession, everywhere. Most of us see it...

  18. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    yeah, Mr. Murse. You big baby. Only babies handle their own petty problems instead of dumping them on other people to take care of. Grow up already. Shut the hell up and take it to your manager...

  19. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's the thing that a few of you aren't understanding, it's not about anyone's "whims". I just don't agree that management's job is to put out little interpersonal fires in the workplace. Sure,...

  20. New Grad RN can't find a job

    Mr. Murse replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think it's a lack of positions needing to be filled, but like every industry (in my opinion) a large part of it is about who you know and how you present yourself. My old floor that I used to...

  21. How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    Mr. Murse replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

    As others said, if you leave school with only $6k in debt, you'll be way better off than most nursing students finishing school. Honestly though, most people work through school. I worked full time...

  22. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Come on homie, don't be hating on me like that! Don't hate the playa, hate the game, son. ;-) Cheers. I have a feeling we'd actually get along pretty well in real life.

  23. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    haha, your perception of my whole premise is kind of funny, and very off. I would apologize for being so unclear were it not for the fact that so many people seem to understand what I'm saying. One...

  24. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really think it's pointless to argue semantics in this particular situation, it's beside the point. Had I chosen a different word, this thread would have half as many posts. I understand what...

  25. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel like a lot of people are missing the point I was trying to make. I'm not saying every time someone rustles your feathers to puff out your chest and confront them or call them out. I'm also well...
