  1. Fired

    SaderNurse05 replied to Blades's topic in General Nursing

    Does it count as being fired? I thought the point of a probationary period was for both employer and employee to see if they wanted to make it permanent. Sorry you are going through

  2. Is it just me...

    SaderNurse05 posted a topic in General Nursing

    As the New Year starts, I have been thinking about different things in my life, such as family relationships, finances, taking care of myself, my relationship with God and my job as a nurse. It seems...

  3. First name or surname?

    SaderNurse05 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    I consider myself a professional. I think there is a big difference between caring for a patient who is assigned to me vs being employed directly by that person, such as an attorney. I agree that...

  4. bereavement policy?

    SaderNurse05 replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    We are allowed to take 3 days of our sick leave. Not much of a benefit, in my opinion. Sorry about your

  5. First name or surname?

    SaderNurse05 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Allison08. I have been in situations (e.g. mental and prison wards) where I felt it was dangerous to have my last name on a badge. Some patients are great and some are really disturbed....

  6. How nasty!!

    SaderNurse05 replied to rnrae's topic in General Nursing

    Not to hijack the thread, but I used to work with a nurse who washed her cat box in the DISHWASHER to disinfect it...never ate anything she brought again. In fact, if I have not been in someone's...

  7. Raises

    SaderNurse05 replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. Other places in town can go 2 years without a raise. At least my job has been

  8. what would do you in this kind of situation?

  9. what would do you in this kind of situation?

    SaderNurse05 replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So if I have a DNR and I am found cold, will they leave me alone or call the code? BTW thanks for all the good

  10. What would you do??

    SaderNurse05 replied to IngyRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. Hoodia for Weight Loss?

    SaderNurse05 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Any luck

  13. Know-it-all, nonmedical bosses

    SaderNurse05 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. If it is casued by the machine and she still has a rash, then (in Texas anyway) this would be a workman's comp issue and the treating physician can require modifications to her work...

  14. Do I have a right to be upset?

    SaderNurse05 replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    This is ridiculous. Obviously you have helped cover in the past, but it is time to take your contract in and review it with your manager. Good luck! Overtime is great but life is too short to work...

  15. Is it true that you will know....?

    SaderNurse05 replied to scastillo1's topic in General Nursing

    There are many jobs in nursing besides the ones you will be exposed to in nursing school. I remember feeling kind of left out as my friends declared their love for peds, OB, etc. Now I have a job that...

  16. Relationship based care/Playing the game

    SaderNurse05 replied to Firefly RN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe put a subliminal message on the TV..This experience is so excellent! I want to come back to the excellent hospital for another excellent time! Seriously, I am in shock that this garbage has...

  17. Relationship based care/Playing the game

    SaderNurse05 replied to Firefly RN's topic in General Nursing

    Want to see something funny? I actually asked for something I could not find. Talk about a deer in the headlights moment... Now I know it is a scripted line so I don't try and confuse them. I am...

  18. The most expensive, silly or cheap gifts you received from your hospital

    SaderNurse05 replied to Shantas's topic in General Nursing

    Worst:a laniard advertising a toxic waste recovery company....It glowed inthe the dark to boot. Seriously. The best was a great snuggly blanket when the hospital was recruiting

  19. ANother one bites the dust

    SaderNurse05 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Talk about overwhelming. I know hospice nurses that do not lose that many patients that quick. I am sure you bring comfort to the patients as well as the families. Be sure and take care of...

  20. Exit Interviews

    SaderNurse05 replied to Toquay's topic in General Nursing

    My experience with exit interviews has been that they KNOW already why I am leaving. It is like preaching to the choir. Now I am among those who are very careful in what I say. The fact is sometimes...

  21. heath career alternatives??

    SaderNurse05 replied to philosophical's topic in General Nursing

    I think the child life specialist is pretty cool. We had them at the hospital I interned at during nursing school. My daughter is a medical social worker and she loves it. Sounds like you have thought...

  22. Unwise Thinking

    SaderNurse05 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Good job! I am proud of you for sticking to your

  23. Is this possible (need an experienced nurse's opinion-- warning a little long)

    SaderNurse05 replied to WestWingFan's topic in General Nursing

    I know the hospitals in my area have started requiring at least 2 weekends per month and one major holiday as well as the very real possibility of being floated. The hospital's stance is it costs too...

  24. HH is showing me a side of the death process I'd never even thought about

    SaderNurse05 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    {{{{{{{{{{T***i}}}}}}}}}}}}} I am sure it is hard seeing people get worse and go on hopsice. BTW do you work with only Ca patients? From what I remember you were an ER nurse for a long time. I think...

  25. When is the best time to go to NS?

    SaderNurse05 replied to np_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    For me, going to nursing school was like getting pregnant- both things I wanted to do but never the right time. I do agree if you have been accepted twice and do not go then you need to think about...
