  1. More work, no pay increase..

    SubSippi replied to Muse4723's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also, do you think you will be able to provide the same quality of care to all of your patients if your workload is doubled? If not, I think that would be a pretty legitimate reason to turn down the...

  2. Feeling Discouraged: Am I a hopeless case

    SubSippi replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    After working a few months, you'd have enough vacation days built up to where you could go on an interview. It would be tough but definitely doable. If you turned down that job, and then went another...

  3. How many CNAs do you have on your floor?

    SubSippi replied to crx971's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Probably had to change the username, seeing as how no bedside nurse can avoid all ADLs

  4. Intubation necessary?

    SubSippi replied to ScottieDNurse2b's topic in Critical Care

    Way off topic, but I just have to say, Esme, I can't wait to know as much as you do!! Your posts never cease to impress me OP, it did sound very strange to me at first. But, as a new-ish critical...

  5. IV pushes

    SubSippi replied to #NurseB's topic in Patient Medications

    Why not

  6. Atheist at Catholic hospital

    SubSippi replied to kaydensmom01's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    What? NO CAFFEINE?!

  7. OGT securement in intubated patients

    SubSippi replied to JeffTheRN's topic in Critical Care

    Right on. We also tape to the ETT. In my experience, anesthesia has pretty much zero involvement with the patients once they leave the OR. So they can make their demands, but how would they even...

  8. Declining a position after accepting it.

    SubSippi replied to movingforwardRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I turned down a job after I had already accepted. I ended up getting another job offer that I wanted more. I emailed the recruiter and told her that, unfortunately, my circumstances had changed, and...

  9. Feeling Discouraged: Am I a hopeless case

    SubSippi replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have you considered taking that job but then continuing to apply to other

  10. How much trouble am I ? Scale: 1 to super fired

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

    She very well may not like you after this, and she may be on the lookout for other reasons to fire you. But I highly doubt she will fire you for being rude to her over the phone. At this point,...

  11. Don't listen to the nurse

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

    In a hospital setting, it is EXCEEDINGLY rare that when something happens (good or bad), only one person is responsible for

  12. In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

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

    You must not be a fan of any of the Kardashian reality

  13. In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

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

    If I could choose to ban one type of thread, it would be the PVT pop up threads...or the "I got 179 questions and only 5 SATA do you think I failed" threads. The NETY ones at least occasionally have...

  14. In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

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

    Haha...all you guys knooooow what I'm talking

  15. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    SubSippi replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    No, that is really what I think! Lol, you are not the first person to think I'm a little

  16. Educating patients on ER use

    SubSippi replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I agree. The times I've had to go to an ED, I was sent there by either an urgent care or PCP, and each time it was a CYA type of deal. I definitely could have been treated outside a

  17. In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

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

    But I like getting annoyed by people on the

  18. Educating patients on ER use

    SubSippi replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    Personally, I think a large part of the appeal of ED visits comes from the fact that going to the ED involves no planning or commitment on the patient's part. They don't have to be there at any...

  19. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    SubSippi replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    My personal view on religion is that it's humankind anthropomorphizing gravity. God = gravity, only gravity doesn't love

  20. Job Interview/Talent Review

    SubSippi replied to MeiLana's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Guess the lab results is also another unit favorite. We also like to make guesses on a patient's BP after we've had to give a PRN med IV for someone's

  21. Mistakes in the ICU

    SubSippi replied to ICURN1980's topic in Critical Care

    It doesn't sound like they have unrealistic expectations, it sounds like you have a great preceptor who is helping you learn!! She asked you what you needed to do for that patient, not to put you on...

  22. How many CNAs do you have on your floor?

    SubSippi replied to crx971's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It doesn't sound to me like the OP has as much of a problem with cleaning a patient as the fact that having to spend so much time wiping butts takes away from time dealing with more critical matters....

  23. Stress or Burn Out?

    SubSippi replied to applesxoranges's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think you're probably taking the right steps. Even if the new job ends having a lot similar problems to your old one, sometimes I think it's easier to deal with a new load of crap than it is to deal...

  24. Sharing faith at work

    SubSippi replied to Nienna Celebrindal's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I don't think that's the case. I've shared my opinion concerning religious expression in the workplace in this thread and several others. I have never once been attacked, or had a post deleted by...

  25. Faking seizures?

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

    I realize that there can be a difference between a pseudoseizure, and someone who is just faking. But out of curiosity, do you know how an MD would be able to differentiate the two, if there aren't...
