  1. Abuse Accusations

    Delia37 replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I can only imagine how stressful this is for you!! I am really sorry you are going through this. You had gotten excellent advices and shared experiences that hopefully will give you hope...

  2. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    Delia37 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    This is more of a head scratcher....A few months ago, we got a new float traveler coming to our unit for orientation (as floaters, they orient 1 shift in every unit). At some point during the night,...

  3. I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    Delia37 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah...typing responses at 3AM after a delayed lunch break would do that to you; seems you are easily

  4. I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    Delia37 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I agree that the OP could had handle that situation better; but, the reality is that, no one is obligated to deal with other people emotional baggage. Being reported and written up for...

  5. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    Delia37 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just as the tittle implies, we recently had a patient's family refusing a nurse who is not vaccinated. As of now, vaccination at my facility is still voluntary; becoming mandatory after September 1st...

  6. Talent Review With Manager

    Delia37 replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree with this. If you keep giving your manager mixed messages, she will keep “assigning” you extra tasks. We all understand people have life outside work; I don’t think it would be...

  7. Have you heard of this type of grading before?

    Delia37 replied to Zamzam's topic in General Students

    OP-above is your answer. When in nursing, it is important to keep track of your grades. I really find it hard to believe that they didn’t see this coming or that didn’t get any feedback along the...

  8. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    Delia37 replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This post has turned into something completely different from the intended purpose. Hopefully, it has created awareness that this might happen and how to prepare for it. I sincerely hope everyone...

  9. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    Delia37 replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ladies, thank you for your input. Unfortunately, this is exactly the type of conversations going on in my unit, at this time. As mentioned previously, (regardless of how you feel about the vaccine)...

  10. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    Delia37 replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hear you. In fact, there are some report of vaccinated individuals becoming infected with the new Delta strain. I don't think it has to do being naïve, but with the public assumption that we, as...

  11. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    Delia37 replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ...our numbers are going up. we went from zero cares for almost 3 months to (as of yesterday) 16 in-house; really scary, indeed.

  12. Medication Error During A Code

    Delia37 replied to Nursethoughts123's topic in General Nursing

    I am really curious about this statement. Around my neck of the wood (CA), a MD usually runs the codes; we run it until she/he arrives to the room. I've never seen it the other way around, as you are...

  13. Scolded For Prioritizing Emergent Situations Over Routine Meetings

    Delia37 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you sound like a strong nurse who cares about her patients. However, I do agree with the general consensus....you are spreading yourself thin. Your bedside nurses and your charges SHOULD be able...

  14. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    Delia37 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Conflict management training should be a priority subject in nursing school, unfortunately, it is not. Cursing at your co-workers is highly frown upon; however, we are only human... don't beat...

  15. Nurses on Match.Com

    Delia37 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You might be surprised to find out how many of your single co-workers/people you know are active members of dating sites; it is very convenient and common place, now in days.I don't think your...

  16. Should a pre-nursing student get a nursing related job to increase future nursing job prospects?

    Delia37 replied to Kara638's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't hurt. It give you a chance to see first hands what nurses do and figure out if it works for you. I am currently working as a clinical instructor and I often witness students have a hard...

  17. Non Clinical Positions For New Grads

    Delia37 replied to Prosper2018's topic in General Nursing

    ...I am confused about the above post. Last I checked, any reputable CRNA program requires (at least) two years of ICU bedside experience; and admission being so competitive, that most candidates are...

  18. Transgender nurses?

    Delia37 replied to munkyfusic's topic in General Nursing

    I had worked with several transgender nurses in the past and honestly, it was never an issue. The fact you are transgender shouldn't have any bearing on you obtaining your

  19. Relatives/friends/whoever call the operator and get transferred to the unit...what do I say?

    Delia37 replied to bella14b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    At my facility, upon admission we provide patients/main contact with a code (the last 4 digits of the MR#) and explain only callers who are able to provide that code would be able to receive medical...

  22. Your most annoying, obnoxious family member stories

    Delia37 replied to JDZ344's topic in Nursing Humor

    Adult protective service became involved at that point, prompting an investigation; however, she was eventually transferred to a long term facility...not sure what was the

  23. How to handle gossip

    Delia37 replied to BillieReuben's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I second the above post. As the unit leader, her venting her frustration to other staff was inappropriate; however, we are only human...it has to be frustrating when someone call in sick frequently....
