  1. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

    ColdFusion replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    Completely agree with that statement, I'd much rather someone tell me what they think TO MY FACE, directly. A "lost art"....

  2. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

    ColdFusion replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    Uh....this is what I was talking about being "inappropriate": No offense but I think YOUR comment to the nurse manager about this man was

  3. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

    ColdFusion replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    That strikes me as extremely inappropriate. I think there's more to this

  4. CNA's in control

    ColdFusion replied to FlorentineBird's topic in General Nursing

    I'd wager this isn't an isolated incident. I'd ALSO wager that, if the RN writes her up or otherwise attempts to discipline her in any way that the Unit Manager will take the nurse aide's

  5. WHY are nurses so catty??

    ColdFusion replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Absolutely agree......I've worked in several different hospitals and other situations as a RN and it is

  6. For Those that Wear Support Stockings...

    ColdFusion replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wear support stockings, started when I went to twelve-hour shifts. I wear the kind that have graduated compression. I think all nurses should wear them, to head off any circulation problems that...

  7. Evil People

    ColdFusion replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    Kudos to you, Happy ER RN, for not knocking the dragon's block off! It's a damned shame we can't just call security or some other designated personnel to deal with the crazies, which are legion....

  8. WORST NIGHT EVER!!! Will it ever end????

    ColdFusion replied to PedsRNBSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like hell. Talk to your Unit Mgr, tell her you're goin' nutz and need a BREAK. They need to stop dumping on you. Talk to her and if you don't get satisfied, start looking for another job,...

  9. HELP!! Railroaded by co-worker!!

    ColdFusion replied to Phenomenon's topic in General Nursing

    If it is her word against yours, I wouldn't worry too much. In fact, it may be a good thing. Use this as an opportunity to bring this entire situation to your Unit Manager's attention. Tell...

  10. Mental Break or Mental BreakDOWN

    ColdFusion replied to shape0fmyheart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just a few thoughts: Are you making full use of your nurse aides? Are you letting others know when you feel swamped? The other nurses have evidently noticed that you have been having a lot of...

  11. insulin med error

    ColdFusion replied to flyladynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Med errors are much more common than anyone will admit, you did the right thing, learn from it and go on.... We have to co-sign all insulins where I

  12. New and frustrated; ready to quit!

    ColdFusion replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget the old "it wasn't a good fit"

  13. Sick and Tired of my Job!!!!!

    ColdFusion replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Two LPNs And one RN for >100 residents?!? Get out

  14. Advice please!!!

    ColdFusion replied to leielaine's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a pulse and respirations, you're a shoe-in. LOL Honestly, some of the people who get hired as CNAs...well...:chair: It sounds like you already have the necessary "qualifications", i.e.,...

  15. What makes a great CNA?

    ColdFusion replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    And she cared because..................??? Grrrrrr! What a repellent, OBNOXIOUS

  16. Advice needed for integrating with a new job

    ColdFusion replied to newrn05's topic in Nursing Career

    Unfortunately, people make judgements very quickly, especially about new grads. You will need to rethink how you are presenting yourself. The suggestion about bringing goodies to work is a good...

  17. Pet Peeves

    ColdFusion replied to sjb2005's topic in General Nursing

    More pet peeves: Hard-to-find necessary equipment. Forgot my stethoscope one day and it was well-nigh impossible to locate another to use. It was a LONG, drawn-out process of searching the entire...

  18. What would you do?

    ColdFusion replied to nowplayingEDRN's topic in Agency Nurses

    I don't know what to tell you because my first thought is, did you get the charge person that night and show them the patient's condition? I'm also confused about his DNR status - I didn't know a...

  19. Pet Peeves

    ColdFusion replied to sjb2005's topic in General Nursing

    Another pet peeve: getting report from ER: "oh she's not trying to climb OOB -" First thing the new admit does: grab onto the side rail to heave herself over. Constantly interrupted while you are...

  20. Trouble brews over a pat on the back!

    ColdFusion replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a case of Admin going to push them as far as they can. The couple needs to say "Stop." They have agreed to everything else so Admin thinks they can continue to dictate. I would tell them...

  21. Not Picking up the slack or breaking my back......

    ColdFusion replied to ColdFusion's topic in General Nursing

    I hear that. I didn't transfer the patient I was referring to. I called for assistance and waited until it got there. I'm not going to try to transfer someone without assistance. I don't know...

  22. Not Picking up the slack or breaking my back......

    ColdFusion posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm working on a VERY scary Med-Surg unit. Alot of admissions of confused geriatric patients who cannot be placed anywhere else. The other night one of my admissions had been in the ER two...

  23. Nurses in England

    ColdFusion posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hello nurses. My daughter is crazy for all things British and I'm wondering if anyone would like to be her "email pal." She is eleven, very intelligent, and very much into Harry Potter....

  24. Not Picking up the slack or breaking my back......

    ColdFusion replied to ColdFusion's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you, but being that I am not staff, I do not have the same voice as other nurses there. I am not a permanent employee. I am not staying there longer than my contract for obvious reasons....

  25. DON of LTC: What's needed/Worth It?

    ColdFusion posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Hi, After a few career changes and hiccups, I am thinking strongly of pursuing a new path: trying to get a position as ADON, or DON of a good LTC facility. What I want to know: >is it WORTH IT?...
