  1. pay freezes

    Delicate Flower replied to Mrs Helleck's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Gotcha

  2. Lifestyle Discrimination

    Delicate Flower replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Err, OK. They actually not the same thing at all. When I think of a chicken little, "the sky is falling!," I see a very frazzled person, freaking out, running around getting everyone around the fired...

  3. Healthy Nursing

    Delicate Flower replied to melbie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't preach to my patients; I educate them. I know that is just a saying, but I think it is worth pointing out. It is up to each person, including me, what they want to do with the available...

  4. Lifestyle Discrimination

    Delicate Flower replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wish there was a Frowny Face Dislike Post button. I'd be clicking the heck out of it on this. This is utter nonsense. What you would call it doesn't matter, because it IS discrimination. There are...

    What part of NC are you in,

  6. Lifestyle Discrimination

    Delicate Flower replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ruby, The fitness test suggestion was a sarcastic one. :) There are a whole boatload of problems with that; ableism comes to mind. Why not have job qualification be about your ability to perform your...

  7. Lifestyle Discrimination

    Delicate Flower replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Also i see that most say that by choosing fit people over obese ones we are choosing attractive people only and thats discriminatory. There is a difference between being fit and being physically...

  8. Bizarre/funny things patients do

    Delicate Flower replied to AOx1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Working on postpartum one night, I walked in to a new father and mother holding their newborn over the toilet, spraying his bum with water using the mom's peri wash bottle. Well, that's a new way to...

  9. The death of nursing

    Delicate Flower replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think young nurses have an advantage of sorts in that they can scale back both their expectations and more importantly, their lifestyle based on the current climate. Older nurses or those with a...

  10. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    Delicate Flower replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Just happened: I was walking down the hall and suddenly lost my footing. Ankle turned, knee buckled, and splat! I'm sprawled on the floor. At least 3 people watched the entire thing go down. Turns out...

  11. Show Me the Money

    Delicate Flower replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. I have no illusions about the fact that if my employers think they could pay me any less and still get the same quality of work and keep me from quitting, they would do it in a heartbeat....

  12. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    Delicate Flower replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing school, I learned the hard way that the sprayer device attached to the toilet is not necessarily a great way to rinse out a bedpan full of loose stool. Whoosh!! Poop all over toilet seat,...

  13. Show Me the Money

    Delicate Flower replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the individual and their situation. For Here.I.Stand - no offense, but based on your husband's salary, I'm guessing you can "afford" for it to NOT be all about the money. You...

  14. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    Delicate Flower replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I worked for a huge global hospital system that did have its own insurance plan, although it was marketed to the general public and other employers as well. They also had a Medicaid and a Medicare...

  15. overheard at the bedside

    Delicate Flower replied to ceccia's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was working post partum and helping a new mom with breast feeding. She said "I want to make sure the baby gets as much Clostridium as possible, since it's so good for him." Um, I think you meant...

  16. Lifestyle Discrimination

    Delicate Flower replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    BlueDevil, I'm not talking about obesity being a protected class. And yes, bias will always exist and the law cannot change that. Often, discrimination is unconscious, anyway. I'm simply saying that...

  17. GN to NP in <1yr

    Delicate Flower replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Endeavor.

  18. For all the momma nurses out there...

    Delicate Flower replied to trauma_lama's topic in Nursing Career

    I say it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. If you can financially afford to take off early, and you don't feel well enough to perform your job, then take off! Nobody gets a medal for working right up...

  19. Keep your pants on...

    Delicate Flower replied to ceebeejay's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I hate when my pants fall down!!! This happens with my Cherokee elastic waist pants. Not sure the model number, but they're the basic cheap cargo pants. The tucked in shirt does help, but not...

  20. Lifestyle Discrimination

    Delicate Flower replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Respectfully, I don't consider myself a chicken little at all. And I'm not blaming anyone for anything either. The point I was trying to make was that it is assinine, unfair, and kind of random to...

  21. Managerial ABUSE of Nurses

    Delicate Flower replied to rnmimirn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses have a difficult time trying to bring about change because on the whole, we have spent our lives and careers trying not to rock the boat. We have families to support, bills to pay, and depend...

  22. Lifestyle Discrimination

    Delicate Flower replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurse Lisa- Congrats on your weight loss and maintaining a smoke and alcohol free lifestyle. I do have one concern, though. Because of your gastric bypass surgery, you have a greater risk of...

  23. Taking away chairs from nursing station

    Delicate Flower replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Why do doctors and case managers need to sit? Shouldn't they too, be doing their charting, dictating, and other patient related activities at the patient's bedside so the patient feels included? This...

  24. Call Bells and IV Pumps

    Delicate Flower replied to avaloncar's topic in General Nursing

    The hopitals I work at are really into noise reduction because it's an item on those ridiculous patient satisfaction surverys. They put up little decibel-sensing stoplights in the nurses station that...
