    I need to vent! Frustrated ADN

    EaglesWings21 replied to amari's topic in General Nursing

    EaglesWings21 replied to awyman33's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Pay probably is based on experience but I would guesstimate that a hospital would pay you between $25 and $30 per hour plus shift diffs. Resource nurses make quite a bit

    Negativity

    EaglesWings21 replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

    Self control. If my coworkers are talking about someone I try to not join in or I say something nice about the person. If I overhear some juicy gossip I try to keep it to myself. Find other things...

    EaglesWings21 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yesterday, I was that nurse. That nurse that your patient will one day complain to you about. That nurse who wouldn't give her pain meds even though she "really needed them." That nurse that was an...

    Will My Insurance Pay If I Leave Against Medical Advice (AMA)? By the way, thanks for the clarification on the insurance thing. I thought it was true. I will no longer tell my patients

    That Nurse

    EaglesWings21 replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also want to add that this is a vent. I am not looking for all the possibilities of what I could have possibly done right or wrong. I have just had a rough week or so at work and am venting. That...

    EaglesWings21 replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I assessed her to the fullest. Her pain she described seemed chronic. She was not on meds at home. She was not hospitalized for any reason for the pain. I presented her case factually to the...
