  1. Totally Amazing Video Interview 99 yr old Nurse!

    RNdynamic replied to Emergent's topic in Nurses Rock

    I thought this thread would be about a woman who is working as a nurse at age 99. This was a little boring, and that lady sounds a bit

  2. Contract, but No Contract

    RNdynamic replied to procrastinator911's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How is this a request for legal advice? It isn't.. at all. Career advice is not legal advice, and any layperson can provide it. Please read more

  3. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    RNdynamic replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't agree with the OP at all. If you find a better job or one that you want more comes up, go for it. What if that opening doesn't reappear for 2 or 3 more years? You could have blown it by...

  4. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm forced to agree with the

  5. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for the kind words everyone. I don't get it either. This thread has nothing to do with them. Why do people take things so literally? I am saying that in general, these queens who, in my...

  6. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't say such a person "must" be any of those attributes. I am trying to paint a generic picture of this individual. In my unit, in my individual case, all of the characteristics described are...

  7. Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

    RNdynamic replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yea, putting my hands on a seat that people pee and lay their rear end on is much more hygenic.. Those women would hover anyway. They hover because they don't want to touch the urinated seat, not...

  8. Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

    RNdynamic replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a man. I use my foot to lift up and put the toilet seat down, which negates the infection control rationale. I am not dirtying my hands in this way. And before you say that my shoe is...

  9. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It isn't quite as creative as you think. It's a totally true to life story that I'm telling. It's a real person, in a real hospital.. like it or not, and so slay me for telling it, but these people...

  10. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The behavior I described is specifically characteristic of nurses who have grown what people refer to as "comfortable" in their work setting. In my opinion, these are limited people. You will almost...

  11. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am very interested. Why would someone be like that? I have my theories. But no one ever wants to go into it. Instead, they justify these bully-queens as being "old fashioned" or "hard-headed...

  12. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds like you identify or overidentify with the bully in question. Nice try, with your attempt to turn it around. Sort of like how bullies

  13. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hahah,

  14. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for the kind words..! What is sad, is that the story in my OP is 100%

  15. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I live alone in a single family home and live on a wage that is probably comparable to yours. That would sort of negate the fact that I am

  16. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ~1500 bed hospital, with two campuses about a block from each other. Thanks for the compliment,

  17. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They don't matter; I'm just trying to paint a visual image of this person for creative writing reasons and make this true story come more

  18. Fake call outs irritate me

    RNdynamic replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I couldn't disagree with the OP more. Nursing is a job. We don't have a moral obligation to show up for our jobs any more than stock brokers or waitresses or plumbers have a moral obligation to show...

  19. Do you chart lies?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    They almost all want that tube out, so that blows you theory out of the water. That's good, though. I myself, so far have had a 100% success rate in preventing self extubations by restraining my...

  20. Do you chart lies?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    Bull puckey; try to avoid fabricating crappola about literature that doesn't exist. Thanks for stopping

  21. Do you chart lies?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    To put it another way, I believe that the open admission of having charted lies is more a sign of honesty and trustworthiness than the concealment or denial of having charted

  22. Do you chart lies?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the kind words. No one wants to admit to themselves that they're responsible for cutting corners like this. In earnest, I believe that the people in this thread who admit to having...

  23. Do you chart lies?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a major university medical center in the Northeast, with magnet status. That goes to show you how prevalent this sort of thing really

  24. Do you ever contend with pesty ancillary staff?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Often nurses on the floor, while in their busiest minutes of their day, and sometimes even during a crisis, are hunted down by phlebs, radiology techs, physical therapists, care managers, random...

  25. Do you chart lies?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm quite sure you will find more situations where patients injured themselves ( or staff ) because they were unrestrained or under-restrained, than you will find situations where patients were hurt...
