    Nurse sleeping with coworker

    duskyjewel replied to mommasgirls's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get so sick of the knee-jerk "none of your business." If they were in one of their bedrooms, it's none of your business. When they engage in sexual activities in patient rooms at MY WORKPLACE it...

    Constantly get frivolous complaints filed

    duskyjewel replied to Scottbemis's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think what RNIBCLC is asking is this: were the complaints about your demeanor,or your charting, or merely the fact that you took said actions? Were they about you not communicating well? What she...

    duskyjewel replied to Nursetobe25's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    New nurse and big mistakes

    duskyjewel replied to apnurserock's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Man, who ARE these freaks who think they have the right to tell off long term quality contributors to this site when they've achieved all of 7 posts? I've been a member since 2012 and still feel like...

    I've been a nurse since.....(fill in the blank)

    duskyjewel replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Say wha? Look, I know as a child of the 80s I said "bad" and meant "good" but this insanity has really gone too far

    duskyjewel replied to KaylaRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously, not allowed to have water? Ever? During your entire 12 or 8 hour shift? Aside from everything else, that's abusive and may even be illegal. Possibly not, though, because I'm not sure...

    Silliest answer someone has said in class?

    duskyjewel replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Students in their late teens and early 20s reading this are probably wondering why there would be saliva on a

    Is This Bullying?

    duskyjewel replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We also need serious discussion of how and why male nurses get paid more to pass jello! In fact, we should make a federal case and and ivy league university research project out of it. This is a...

    Am I being selfish?

    duskyjewel replied to lemore's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You've done nothing wrong, so there's nothing to feel bad about. But your co-worker put you in a terrible spot by telling her you're quitting. Just get through it the best you

    A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

    duskyjewel replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A breastfeeding counselor who never breastfed and chooses not to despite all the evidence? Seems kinda like a physicist who's bad at math and discounts gravity.... As to informed decision making, how...

    All Men Shift

    duskyjewel replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    This was fun until we got to the "women are oppressed" diatribe. We aren't. We just fricking aren't anymore. The only women who are oppressed in the USA anymore are those who insist on seeing...

    The Unforgiven

    duskyjewel replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    After ruminating a bit, I also think you need to report her drinking to her AA higher ups. She should not be in a leadership position in that organization right now. She could be harming other...

    So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    duskyjewel replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    This will be my last post on this thread. There are some people commenting who clearly don't understand what it means to be facing the approaching loss of a parent, or the actual loss of close family...

    My poor husband

    duskyjewel replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    If a husband admitted to "palpating" his unconscious wife's genitals, he'd probably be getting accused of sexual battery. And that's all I have to say about

    The Unforgiven

    duskyjewel replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You need marriage counseling ASAP. If she won't go, go alone. As AA would tell you, if the problems with her can't be solved right now, your main focus has to be your own sobriety. Whatever that...

    Providing Emergency Care to non-patient

    duskyjewel replied to augustwest's topic in General Nursing

    LPNs in my hospice company pronounce all the time. And they sure as heck do assessments. They can't do the initial, but they can do subsequent ones as delegated by the RN. That's my company's...

    So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    duskyjewel replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, really? This isn't a bar weekend with her buddies, it's her father's 75th birthday, for which she asked for time off well in advance and got screwed by her manager. In your next post you refer...

    Providing Emergency Care to non-patient

    duskyjewel replied to augustwest's topic in General Nursing

    Look what happened to that LTC where the nurse refused to perform CPR and that lady died in the dining hall. The facility claimed it was a policy and people were aware when they signed up to live...

    Specialty

    duskyjewel replied to julzgarcia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a CNM in my town who runs a freestanding birth center and home birth service. That's right up my alley. I currently am a hospice CNA and can see myself staying with my company as a nurse....

    No more 12 hour shifts?

    duskyjewel replied to UpennRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I'm a mother of five children from high school senior down to 2nd grader, and the thought of working 8s horrifies me. The fact that I am a mother and want be an involved one is why I work...

    MEN: Best Color Suit for Interview?

    duskyjewel replied to PacoUSA's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Navy is more conservative and so probably the better choice, but dark grey is good too. Light grey would probably present the same problem as the tan in looking "too casual." But show some...

    Spring Semester nursing school

    duskyjewel replied to uta.student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. If they admit you for Spring, it will be for a Spring cohort. You shouldn't be missing
