  1. NON Group-One hopsitals

    mydesygn replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    I know everyone has opinions but, personally, exceptional examples aside. I find male nurses easier to work with and work for. I beleive as managers they don't spend enormous amounts of time trying...

  3. NON Group-One hopsitals

    mydesygn replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think one of the biggest reasons they are allowed to exist unchallenged is so few nurses know they exist. Before I came to this forum, I did not know such an organization existed. Like...

  4. Questions about staffing a small peds unit

    mydesygn replied to oldcurlyrn49's topic in Pediatric

    The sad thing is that nothing will change until the physicians began to voice concerns to hospital administration . I once took a job as a prn nurse for a small, 6bed peds unit in an adult hospital....

  5. Nursing License Revocation

    mydesygn replied to Pachinko's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Texas and you really have to have a series of significant issues in order to have a license revoked. However, it is relatively easy to report a nurse to the Board and the Board is obligated...

  6. Patients knowing medical lingo

    mydesygn replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    It seems if you watch ER regularly, you are suddenly an expert. I think the concept of knowledge without understanding is more prevalent with the introduction of the internet. I had a family with a...

  7. NON Group-One hopsitals

    mydesygn replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, the list contains all the major hospitals in the DFW area. Most hospitals are affilated with one of the hospitals on the list and a lot of the major nursing agencies are on there. I...

  8. Group One background checks in Texas

    mydesygn replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    You have to remember they are not an employer, they are a "consumer reporting agency". wink wink. My understanding is in Texas that when you call an employer the only info they can give is dates of...

  9. Group One background checks in Texas

    mydesygn replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not every healthcare facility subscribes to GroupOne. You may want to consider home health, a nursing home or agency nursing. Depending on the nature of the info in the report (is it criminal or...

  10. Group One background checks in Texas

    mydesygn replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Unfortunately, many nurses in the DFW area are unaware that this organization exists until it is to late. . If they were used to solely reveal known criminal behaivior, I would be more supportive....

  11. information technology degree and entrance into informatics

    mydesygn replied to mydesygn's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I'm not sure how well an online degree holds up if employers know it is not a traditional brick and mortar university. I really would like the interaction of a class and students. I beleive the...

  12. Accused of Racism!

    mydesygn replied to yaddadoit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it is so sad that was allowed to happen. Furthermore., it simply justifies that tatic as a way to avoid tasks and more important to avoid nurses asking you to perform tasks. Many years ago,...

    DON"T DO THIS I have been a pediatrics nurse for over 14 years, initially, starting on the floor, then working in the PICU and being floated to the NICU. There is no way in HELL, I would ever advise...

  15. Colleague bitten by pt--what should be done for the bitee?

    mydesygn replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of a situation I encountered as a new grad -- I was taking care of an 11 year old with LOC changes (later brain herniated and she died) but at one point she was placed in restraints,...

    mydesygn replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

  18. WHY are nurses so catty??

    mydesygn replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To me, it sounds like the "catty-ness" was on the part of the manager who took the nurses complaints straight to her face! imo, it's the managers job to look at the bigger picture and not take one or...

  19. No Internet access at work

    mydesygn replied to pricklypear's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked for 14 years as a nurse, long before the internet was the popular tool it is. Most facilities function well with an intranet not an internet. An intranet is wonderful for posting...

  20. Your opinion on HOSPITALISTS.

    mydesygn replied to estrogen's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Absolutely, love the hospitalists. I worked at a large pediatric teaching hospital who began hiring hospitalists in order to expand the number of beds. Had reached the max number of residents per...

    I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of your experience. Unfortunately, it does take time to gain comfort and skills. My best suggestion at this point would be to ask (1) to extend your...

  22. think i gotta quit

    mydesygn replied to jasonn's topic in Emergency

    The unfortunate thing is often administration does not really see your value until you are gone. No change will ever happen until one of two things (1) someone is serously harmed and is able to bring...

  23. What do you think???

    mydesygn replied to galaxy781's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say that the nurse I worked with made unusual med errors because of the language. But she has also taken jobs in areas where frequent communication about complex isssues is not necessary....

  24. I made a med error

    mydesygn replied to southern_rn_brat's topic in Geriatric, LTC
