    More Things You'd Love to be Able to say to Patients

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to Bill E. Rubin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Judging by many of the posts I've read on AN concerning PITFA pt family members, I thought I'd throw one out there that I'm SURE you all wish you could get away with "I. DON'T.

    Confessions Of A Nurse With Poor Interpersonal Skills

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not sure what to do about the first part of this, except to say that this is fairly common. I myself am like this, but it hasn't really been a problem. I find that yes, it does take a while for me to...

    What are the nurse's rights regarding difficult family members?

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to Brekka's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, I'd follow the other posters suggestions and document EVERYTHING. And I mean every incident like this even if it is with a different pt/pt family. A long history of this not being acted upon will...

    What are the nurse's rights regarding difficult family members?

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to Brekka's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would completely agree with this, except that the OP was already threatened with the loss of her job after bringing this woman and her behavior to light. Even if she can't technically be fired for...

    Hi Commuter. I've been thinking about this thread. Maybe your interpersonal skills aren't as bad as you think they are. I've read and participates several of your threads and you come across fine over...

    Getting a Boost Because You Are A Minority

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to Clodhopper's topic in Men in Nursing

    All true. Of course it is unfair to Ruby. I am just saying that many men are "RubyVee's" in most other fields... I'm not saying I like it. But then again this is one field. Men get this in nearly all...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I don't think anyone should feel bad for asking for help if they are in the process of trying to better themselves. Don't feel guilty for that. It just isn't something to feel guilty...

    I have a question. I see a lot of post in many topics on AN about Nurses being mistreated. Is it really so bad that it can't be brushed off (I mean mistreatment by pt's and families btw. I wouldn't...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough. But I thought that if it is in the hiring papers (Not contract, but I forget the name) then it isn't called overtime until hour "49" Maybe that's just here though. Or I could have just as...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is "New topic" worthy, so please forgive me going off topic for just this last one. Why is it that I see so many posters (in other topics as well) say they only work 3 days a week?...
