  1. Why do nurses "eat their young?" (serious post)

    Tiara replied to Chris-FNP's topic in General Nursing

    That's a valid point. The nurses do become exhausted from their own work and then having the added work of teaching. This can lead, of course, to a higher stress

  2. Why do nurses "eat their young?" (serious post)

    Tiara replied to Chris-FNP's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Tim that nurses are an oppressed group and turning on each other is a symptom. Also, nurses in hospitals have had to deal with fear of making errors and different forms of intimidation....

  3. Do you miss lunch or dinner breaks routinely?

    Tiara replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think that nurses who care about their patients - even to the point that they don't have time to eat - are "sucky" as someone supposedly said. However, I did this no eating, no break routine...

    Bill S2093 prohibiting the use of mandatory overtime in New Jersey passed the senate. Now, onto the Governor! We don't want it vetoed again. You can mail the Governor at...

  6. Filipino Nurses

    Tiara replied to Oscar's topic in Philippines

    The problem is not with nurses from other parts of the world. The problem is that the hospitals will import nurses who want to come to the states rather than make the necessary changes so the...

    Tiara replied to rncountry's topic in General Nursing

    We have to be the only profession that historically accepts the status quo and whatever crumbs are thrown our

    Tiara replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the link. What does this tell you about the power structure in the hospitals? Apparently anyone who tries to tell the truth is at risk of losing their job/reputation or

  13. Generation Y

    Tiara replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    It is also the instant gratification generation. It takes a lot of patience and delayed gratification to stick with

  14. Generation Y

    Tiara replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure no one had the intention to cast aspersions on any new nurses. We're on your side! I think it's great you are happy with nursing, and I hope you continue to be. I wanted to mention that I...

  15. Washington Post

    Tiara posted a topic in General Nursing

    Good article in Washington Post. Look under Health at www.washingtonpost.com Also, a health talk discussion at this site at 2PM today. The article goes above and beyond the usual recruitment...

  16. Generation Y

    Tiara replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I think these characteristics can have a very positive effect on nursing because I have heard from many new nurses that they are going to fight for better conditions in the hospitals rather than put...

  17. Reporting the Hospital

    Tiara replied to WHEDRN's topic in General Nursing

    Peggy, what an interesting post! I agree with all. It seems the press is beginning to pick up on the real problems. Maybe if the hospital image is endangered, there will be some hope for

  18. Nurse Journalist????

    Tiara replied to 3651bht's topic in General Nursing

    That might be a bit difficult since most nurses do not have degrees in journalism and these types of positions are very hard to get and highly competitive. However, as far as the "disgruntled letters...

  19. RNcountry's newest tirade

    Tiara replied to SeasonedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's time to let go of any problems that were associated with or misperceived regarding the Million Nurse March, and move on. Helen is passionate in her beliefs and that is

  20. Reporting the Hospital

    Tiara replied to WHEDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can sympathize. This is why nurses have left hospitals and are continuing to leave because they are concerned about the effect of low staffing on patient care and there is nowhere to go with the...

  21. ANA & specialty nurse organizations

    Tiara replied to Tim-GNP's topic in General Nursing

    Lately, the ANA has become very pro-active for the bedside nurses. Whether you are a member of ANA or taking part in the Million Nurse March or both, you are doing something to promote better...

  22. Nurse Journalist????

    Tiara replied to 3651bht's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the nurses who go to the messageboards have been writing the media - newspapers, tv about the situation; esp. when there is an article that leaves out a lot of the truth! Write your story...

  23. Non-critical pts in ICU

    Tiara replied to st4304's topic in General Nursing

    An inappropriate transfer to the ICU because of some doctor's perception of nursing staff is not really right but it's a lot less dangerous than the many, many inappropriate transfers from ICU to the...

  24. Nurses @ Higher Risk 4 Lawsuits.

    Tiara replied to SUBQ's topic in General Nursing

    When you have to think defensively all of the time and need a lawyer in your uniform pocket, it's time to take a stand. After all, you are the patient's advocate and if that conflicts with your...

  25. RN"s and LPN's mandated to work as CNA's

    Tiara replied to chili2641's topic in General Nursing

    It is totally unprofessional to ask/expect you to work as a CNA if you are a Registered Nurse or a Licensed Practical Nurse. If something untoward happened, would you be a CNA or an RN? Why don't...
