    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. How detailed is your change of shift report?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to rcon's topic in MICU, SICU

    I would love to hear more from ICU nurses. Obviously report details will differ depending on specialty. For example there is no report on some residents in LTC ( who gives report on 30 residents?)....

    OP you will be getting flamed, just wanted to warn you. However, I guess I'm going to get flammed too because I LOVE being a christian nurse as well. I don't push my beliefs on my patients. I simply...

  14. Lazy Staff

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Lauryen828's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know how you feel OP. I recently left a job in LTC due to lazy aides with the worse attitudes. I would try to counsel them on their behavior but nothing worked. I would always thank them, I helped...

  15. Spotting a bad unit......before you take the job.

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Sugarcoma's topic in General Nursing

    Others gave great advice. I agree when you are new and you see that there is a high turnover then you know its' a bad place. Same as multiple positions being open. So far as the open hearts. You have...

  16. Finally a Nurse Manager That Does NOT Tolerate Nurses Eating Their Young

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bullying is bullying. I don't think the NM is talking about nurses who are assertive, as she appears assertive. She is talking about nurses who are truly bullies. How can it be wrongful termination...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to lilybug12's topic in First Year After Licensure

  19. Job Title Seems Wrong, Need Advice

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    OP what ever title they hire you under, just know that you will always be held to your highest license. Which means if your title is LPN but you have a RN license you will be held accountable for RN...

  20. Reporting medical errors to patient.

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to amandalm711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure about the legalities. I was told by an instructor to never report errors to the patient, as this immediately incriminates everyone involved. With that said: I think patient should have...

  21. Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I did not read the article yet, but as long as an obese person can physically do their job then it should not be a problem. However, I worked with some morbidly obese nurses and staff that sat down...

  22. Finally a Nurse Manager That Does NOT Tolerate Nurses Eating Their Young

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. I also know that effective managers will have 50 percent of employees that like them and the other half will hate them. If everyone liked the NM then he/she probably is not doing their job....

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not a "new" nurse, so I'm well aware to keep a look out for it. However, I have not seen any NM express a zero tolerance in the work place. Even if its' just words, at least I know that is NM...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to EllieBean13's topic in General Students

    I hope you reported her. Yelling at a student is NEVER acceptable. I don't care what other people tell you. Yes, this behavior happens in the real world but this should not be happening to a

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to LoriAK's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked for a facility like this and needless to say, I resigned. I was so sick and tired of CNAs not doing their job. I refused to put my license on the line. Management didn't back me up. I left....
