  1. I confess...I'm a nurse who doesn't want to work in a hospital again

    Paul'in'FL replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Same here (except for the husband bit...) 22 years as an RN, three of them (just after graduating) bedside. I'd go back to the machine shop before I'd work in a hospital again. Things have changed...

  2. Why does every unit have a princess?

    Paul'in'FL replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Truth, brother....it always is a woman (or little girl, age

  3. MD screaming at RN's in front of patients regularly

    Paul'in'FL replied to AtivanIM's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Incident report formats vary by location, but most I have seen have a log number preprinted on them. I would NOT risk your license by photocopying, but have notes AT HOME that have the log # if there...

  4. MD screaming at RN's in front of patients regularly

    Paul'in'FL replied to AtivanIM's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Also my experience with those in this field....not wrapped too tightly, and quite prone to "self-medicate" with RX's and booze. This is ASSAULT, at least where I

  5. Not sure what to do. Licensed RN working as tech.

    Paul'in'FL replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is one of two things: someone already did not want the OP around, and found some Mickey Mouse technicality to write her up and get her gone.... OR....whatever the transgression, it was really was...

  6. Fired for expressing concerns about patient safety and care!

    Paul'in'FL replied to hkrntobe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    ...everyone who isn't independently wealthy is a wage slave! Come on, I can't be the only nurse who has worked in other industries. Geez, a machine shop floor in the FL heat is no fun, either....but...

  7. Name Badges Worn Backwards

    Paul'in'FL replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    When badges are mandated to be worn above the waist AND a female co-worker has, ummm, large assets, the badge tends to bounce and flip. Answer.....only hire us

  8. From adult ICU to NICU????

    Paul'in'FL replied to Notkathy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would look hard and decide if you are acting out of FEAR or because you really like NICU. Running to a change is different from running away from something. If you can handle ICU, you can handle...

  9. When a patient states "something isnt right..."

    Paul'in'FL replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree....as long as the patient has an underlying illness or pathology of some kind, or is an inpatient. As opposed to the ED patient (always female) who has been tested for everything by 17 docs in...

  10. Anyone else have a problem with this ad?

    Paul'in'FL replied to rawlinz's topic in General Nursing

    She is kinda cute....but not my type at

  11. Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

    Paul'in'FL replied to DYLANB's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sad but true...forget appropriate medical or nursing CARE, it is the blankets and turkey sammiches that change P-G scores. Sort of like buying or rating a car on its color, rather than safety or...
