  1. The Story of Jahi Continues

    SubSippi replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I think the general public would also view it as an admittance of wrong doing on the hospital's part. And if they really trust the judgement of the physicians that work there, they need to stand...

  2. Call offs/Staff turnover

    SubSippi replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you what NOT to do... My facility was having a problem with employees calling in, so their solution was to cut in half the number of unscheduled absences we were allowed to have in a year....

  3. FLAME ON!

    SubSippi replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    "I would rather have an experienced nurse with an ADN take care of me than one of these BSN new grads who think they know everything because they took some dumb leadership and research classes."

  4. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    SubSippi replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    It's not up to schools to make sure that supply doesn't outweigh demand...a school's job is to provide an education. I definitely wish that standards for entry were higher...but as long as a school...

  5. What is a Nurses Calling?

    SubSippi replied to hopepedersen87's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many different ways to be a nurse, I figured I would find something I liked eventually. If you really hate something, you can probably find a job where you can avoid it. I work bedside,...

  6. Fired again

    SubSippi replied to NurseCard's topic in Home Health

    Sorry this isn't helpful...but all I can think of is the movie, "Friday." Fyi, he got fired for allegedly stealing cardboard

  7. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    SubSippi replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    In the past, I've found that if you don't shut people down they keep coming back. Maybe not every day, but since they feel like they're doing something good, they're not going to stop if they think...

  8. FLAME ON!

    SubSippi replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    "Nurses are supposed to be compassionate! I would never want any of you taking care of my family!" "When I become a nurse, I know I would never [insert anything at all

  9. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    SubSippi replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    I was recently in almost this exact situation at work. I told my coworker that I wasn't confused or searching, that I've had my beliefs for a really long time, I was happy with them and that I didn't...

  10. Possibly Odd Question

    SubSippi replied to want2b3's topic in General Students

    If someone was cut very badly, a nurse wouldn't need to wait for a doctor to tell him/her to apply

  11. When is it delegation and when is it "Being bossy"???

    SubSippi replied to SNBTaylor's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In my experience, I'm being "bossy" if they don't like me. The actual task I'm asking them to do or how many times I've asked them to do it doesn't matter. The best CNAs don't have to be asked to do...

  12. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    SubSippi replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    There are other ways to address tardiness, without having a conference with the student. At my school, after a certain amount of tardies, we had to drop the class. My teachers did lock the doors once...

  13. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    SubSippi replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    There's a glut of everything now...everyone goes to college! Before you know it, you're going to need a college degree to be a manager at

  14. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    SubSippi replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    By that logic, we can say AIDS isn't deadly at

  15. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    SubSippi replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't believe for a second that you can stay three feet away from all of your patients. Unless you're not doing your job right. How do you listen to lung sounds? Also, I would just like to point...

  16. Feeling overwhelmed at work, need help managing it.

    SubSippi replied to Catch22Personified's topic in General Nursing

    The advice you received from the above poster is great. That's exactly what you need to do. You're feeling this way because you're letting yourself get overwhelmed, but you can minimize this feeling...

  17. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    SubSippi replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's a lack of enjoyment that makes something a job necessarily...I think of nursing as my job because I get paid to do it. However I don't get paid to clean my house, and I certainly...

  18. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    SubSippi replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    But not all of us do that! I work bedside and it's pretty rare that I have to clean up lots of bodily fluids. I also enjoy giving a good bed bath...it means I'm getting to spend a chunk of one on one...

  19. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    SubSippi replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This isn't a matter of you choosing to go down the unbeaten path, or thinking outside the box, or thinking for yourself, or standing up for something you believe in despite it not being the most...

  20. PATIENTS BECOMING MORE ABUSIVE?? anyone agree?

    SubSippi replied to nurseredd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The really aggravating part, is that if patients like this DO end up suffering from a health issue due to the lack of monitoring, they will not hesitate to blame their providers. Patients seem to...

  21. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    SubSippi replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    People who are happy with their situations are much less likely to spend time posting about it online. Keep that in mind. I mean...if you get alone with all of your coworkers, there's not need to come...

  22. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    SubSippi replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Would you continue to be comfortable with your decision if you found out that one of your children ended up spreading one of these diseases to a newborn, who subsequently died from the illness? That...

  23. I can't smell c-diff

    SubSippi replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've always wondered the same thing!! Poop either smells bad, really bad, or really REALLY bad, but never like any particular infection. Maybe it's

  24. Do you really get the worst of the worst when you float?

    SubSippi replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked the floor, float nurses always thought they were getting dumped on. But they weren't, it was just hard for them to believe it was really that bad for everyone. We loved and needed the...

  25. Kicking out visitors during report

    SubSippi replied to delphine22's topic in MICU, SICU

    Just to add to the other posts... Most people are okay, but sometimes they get irritated when we tell them it's so we can give report and protect patient privacy, especially when they're in the room...
