  1. where are the nursing shortages?

    MissPiggy replied to jenago's topic in General Nursing

    I agree... there are some of us out there who consider it a compliment to be asked to precept a new grad/new employee. The only thing you have to worry about is finding that person, but I guess that...

  2. What would you do?

    MissPiggy replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Please help me decide! Am I just scared to change? Janice Change is always scary, but the nursing field is so wide that you are BOUND to find something you like; hang in there at least for a semester...

  4. Anyone doing HEDIS chart audits in west TX?

    MissPiggy replied to ARBY's topic in Texas Nursing

    i live in far west odessa; am working at a hospital between odessa & midland (now you know which one, don't you, but we won't mention any names :uhoh21: ) have been living in odessa for almost 30...

  5. How are they luring nurses to your hospital?

    MissPiggy replied to azulrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    That was SO cute!!! Got to remember THAT one. Sad to say it is a great metaphor as well, but that is what makes it so

  6. The most unexpected thing

    MissPiggy replied to JuicyJem's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree; if they decide they want to get you badly enough, you'll hear more, otherwise you're just wasting your time and effort. Good luck, I don't think you have anything to worry

  7. Texas Board of Nusing

    MissPiggy replied to Faynell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just another case of ignorant administrators sticking together... what do they call that? the "herd mentality"? Surely fits in this case, doesn't it?

  8. Texas Board of Nusing

  9. Anyone doing HEDIS chart audits in west TX?

    MissPiggy replied to ARBY's topic in Texas Nursing

    Arby, I haven't even heard about HEDIS, but I'm just curious; where in West TX are you? I too am in West TX, so that is why I'd like to

  10. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    MissPiggy replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    ...and the administrators who like to give the impression that they know it all; when called on it their favorite thing to say is "But I'm not a nurse - I can't do that, I don't have a license"...

  11. TPAPN Problems--need advice.

    MissPiggy replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    But, in this state, people bury their heads and think if they can't be seen, they have nothing to fear from the knuckle dragging morons who run the show. Does this statement include all the nurses...

  12. What do you think is a major problem in nursing?

    MissPiggy replied to sweetyjen's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That really isn't what it is all about. If people like and respect you, they will produce for you ... no matter what the task and no matter what the pay. You don't get those results with a superior...

  13. What does your screenname mean?

    MissPiggy replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I chose MissPiggy because that has been my nickname at work for years; I have had potbellied pigs for a long time now and since I have no children, they have been a great substitute. Needless to say,...

    Nope, I agree - student at age 52 - welcome to the group of "older and wiser"! If we can do it, so can

  15. What do you think is a major problem in nursing?

    MissPiggy replied to sweetyjen's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You know another funny thing? At first I thought you might be dealing with the same state board that I deal with, but when I looked to see where you are, I realized that we are dealing with different...

  16. What do you think is a major problem in nursing?

    MissPiggy replied to sweetyjen's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We need managers who have the courage to be true leaders, not yes men and women. :angryfire Personally, I think you are being too generous by calling them yes people; I think of them more as...

    MissPiggy replied to sam.r's topic in Psychiatric

    I have been going to the local university, so have not been doing anything online; I have found it pretty difficult - lots of work, but then I have also been working full-time as well. Have been in...

  20. Is there nursing after 50?

    MissPiggy replied to Malt123's topic in General Nursing

    Too true, but have you ever tried to get the nurses in even one facility to agree on something like that? Much less a majority of nurses in your state? Before I leave nursing, my fondest wish is to...

  21. Is there nursing after 50?

    MissPiggy replied to Malt123's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know what can be done about it within the profession other than all of us going union, but that will never happen... that is why I am getting out at age 52; I have been thru the being set up to...
