  1. Bullying - What is it?

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

    What business does that person have being a

  2. Bullying - What is it?

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

    I don't think anyone wants the orientee to starve either. Nevertheless, if the orientee is hungry and there are no urgent matters that need to be taken care of, why shouldn't they eat? Documentation...

  3. Bullying - What is it?

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

    I work in one of the largest teaching hospitals in this country

  4. Bullying - What is it?

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

    In my opinion, a preceptor has no business denying an orientee their lunch break just because the orientee has documentation to catch up on (and could be completed after the break). On orientation,...

  5. Bullying - What is it?

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

    I come from a family of educators and none of them have ever experienced the severity of the behavior I have related to them, they have said. As well, I was a pharmacy tech for a year and did not...

  6. Bullying - What is it?

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

    I don't see doctors, pharmacists, teachers, and other professionals talking to one another in the manner I described above. But I see it in nursing. I also see it in min. wage places like Taco Bell...

  7. Bullying - What is it?

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

    Good reply; another question. What if it is one person doing all of those behaviors to one other nurse? Does the targeting from one nurse to another constitute bullying? Or maybe the consistent act...

  8. Poor RN professional conduct

    RNdynamic replied to Omgseriously's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Honestly OP, I think you're childish and jealous. What is it to you, if others want to eat and drink? Yea, it's against the rules. So what... let management figure it out for themselves. No one...

  9. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread is not directed at any person in particular; it assumes the subject of the OP is a fictitious character. This is the response to the thread linked below, from a couple years ago which...

  10. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    This post is a jumbled gaggle of contradictions, all over the place. In one passage you've essentially rationalized why it's acceptable to be mad at nurses instead of MDs and god, while suggesting...

  11. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    I don't think it's offensive. They made a decision to publish their letter (which by the way they addressed very broadly to "floor nurses, ICU nurses, ED nurses) as an article. It wasn't a personal...

  12. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Not afraid of the response, and I welcome all replies. I am trying to assuage the feelings of the ones who said their feelings are hurt, by reminding them that my note is a work of creative writing....

  13. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Try to see the fictitious letter of my OP as a reply from a staff nurse whose emotions are equally amped up as a result of abuse, if it helps you to cope. You're really missing the point of the...

  14. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Nurses are people too. They are subject to being frightened and confused by crazed adult children as well. Nurses, as human beings are vulnerable, can be driven to substance abuse, suicide, and other...

  15. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Please re-read the post I just

  16. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    The idea of this thread is a sort of hypothetical reply from a fictitious staff nurse to the "worst nightmare" depiction of the generic hell-raising family member causing immense grief to innocent...

  17. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    RNdynamic replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Online colleges or college programs usually have unlimited

  18. Considering leaving after only 4 months...

  19. Graduating High School with ASN

    RNdynamic replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I imagine most ADN programs require you have a high school diploma or GED

  20. Filipino nurses emigrating to US

    RNdynamic replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That isn't what we said. We didn't say that only filipinos dream of working in intensive care. What we said was that filipinos are exceptionally drawn to the ICU because of a cultural component. Of...

  21. BSN from 4 year program required

    RNdynamic replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Unfortunately, many figureheads view nurses who went to community colleges for their initial training as lower class people than youths who attended traditional baccalaureate nursing programs. It's...

  22. Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    Not true. Plenty of ill-reputed, unaccredited, for profit diploma mill schools are highly profitable rather than have gone under. Everest college, ITT tech, Westwood College -- just to name a few....

  23. Desperate need for advice; dislike unit I transferred to

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi everybody, I have a bit of a dilemma. I have worked at my hospital for 3 years. I was working on a med-tele floor then got displaced into a float pool due to renovations to my old floor....

  24. Desperate need for advice; dislike unit I transferred to

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Career

    MICU experience doesn't seem to be as highly valued as CVICU experience careerwise, especially since I may want to go into trauma/flight nursing. I think MICU is just as valuable, but I think hirers...

  25. How do you handle family members who want to impose their will on oriented patients?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in General Nursing

    Frequently I will be caring for a patient in their 60s or 70s, totally alert and oriented, who has an adult son or daughter who who calls asking for updates about the status of the mom or dad, their...
