Hello All, I have never ‘ghosted’, but I have worked whereas a co-worker went ‘ghost’. I have been in nursing for over 20 years and seriously considering changing career path. There are still some great accountable, responsible, and knowledgeable ...

Get down from there, Mr Electrician,

Baby you going to be alright. Take a few deep breath,...plan and organize. Don't turn into "Brizilla". Now the marriage is when you gonna need help. It's your wedding, if it's important, you gotta get some rest and go pick that dress, :). Rememb...

Hello Michiganian Nurses, When I read the title, I thought this was the Class Action law suit against St. John, DMC, Henry Ford, Bon Secours, Oakwood, etc. A nurse who worked in Michigan did some research and found that these hospitals had violated ...

Hello Everyone, Yes, I have heard several Medical Assistances refer to themselves as nurses. Educate, Educate and educate. Yes, I have heard medical offices having All medical assistances. Educate, educate, educate. I educate my family of ro...

Sound like ... Anyway I started in a larger hospital as a new grad. I guess if I would have started in a hospital similar to where you are practicing, I may have the same concerns. I think I delivered my first baby on my own, without a doctor or o...

My God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. On Thanksgiving day, I spoke to my oldest sister, who is an Internal Medicine physician. I was telling her my recent hospital experience in 'a matter of fact' conversation. Her response was, 'I...

Interesting LLG, Disgruntled employees, :rotfl:. JACHO does not think it's trivial, 2 hospitals I travel to this summer, changed their policy due to JOINT COMMISSION and this eating at the nurses desk allowance. JOINT even did a walk through to one...

MySimplePlan, Bless your heart. You don't know me from Adam & I don't know you from Eve. I come to work to take care of pts. I have been blessed to do it well. I believe rules & guidelines should be followed. They are usually placed there ...

Canoehead, Yes, it is a labor issue. However, it is also a Sanitation issue. JACHO, I believe says, 'no eating at the nurses' desk'. When JACHO come in, don't you see the unit / hospital ABIDE by the guidelines? State labor staff, take long to in...

Sara610, I don't know you from Adam, however I've been in the military. I was a civilian nurse for 12 or so years before. They hated me (the military staff), the Captain & even some Major. The Colonel learned to respect me. I say this to s...

Answer to the 1st question, I spoke to our 24 hour contact person, & she stated, 'She don't believe in being taken advantage off. I needed to do what I needed to do'. The answer to the 2nd questions, 'Accountability'. JMGRN65, Who watches you...

Are they still striking? This is a subject no one wants to discuss. I've watch family feud many years, but never new the history. The Hatsfield & the McCoy. I've been on both sides (part of a union & nurse who crosses the line). I really ...

Hello, I'm trying to say something encouraging. Okay, I've been nursing for 20 yrs. I am a travel nurse, now. Every now & then I go back home, Michigan. I've worked O. Main, twice. Once, when I had only 2 yrs of being a nurse & the other...

Hello New Grad, I'm not sure what you are experiencing. I am trying to think of some words to encourage you, but right now it's hard. I am a traveling L & D nurse, mainly because I didn't like the politic of the hospitals. I just le...

:) I don't think so. I worked with a 2 seventy year old. They got around better than the 20's, 30's & 40's. I think their values system keep them going, :) As the young people says, "I'm ain't mad at them". Treasure

That's great! Treasure

These numbers seems reasonable. I haven't worked in the Detroit area in a while, however 18 yrs ago on the L & D unit this is what they used. The charge nurse was not assigned patients. She was resource & made sure the pt's were covered. ...

You Go and tell that truth. Treasure30

Yes, Insecure nurses.

Good Morning Brandi110, I did it, Discipline, Studied & Sacrifices. BUT BABY IT'S ALL, ALL, ALL WORTH IT, :wink2: . I had little support, I love my divorce parents, but my parents had not been to college, so they didn't understand. My si...

Good Morning NBMom1225, I believe you will be a excellent nurse. You will be able to touch patients & their families in ways where other can't. You walk it. Don't ever give up. Treasure
