  1. Nurses: Do you live a healthy lifestyle?

  2. Off topic: How do you keep house?

  3. Almost fired today

    spidermonkey replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, the bottom line is the doctor should have been called for clarification of his order. If the OP needs to be told this, then more orientation & closer watching is

  4. Different kind of retaliation

    spidermonkey replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ambulatory care/outpatient surgery is the wave of the future. With insurance companies calling all the shots & mandating that more & more procedures be done on an outpatient basis you would be...

  5. Almost fired today

    spidermonkey replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    True, and if it were MY family member that was dosed that heavily, I'd have gone beyond the hospital admin. to look into this. Furthermore, in the hospitals I've worked, the OP could be fired for...

  8. Almost fired today

    spidermonkey replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. It is very true that someone always knows someone no matter where you go-- in fact I've known employees to give managers a 'heads up' re: problem nurses b/f hire thus preventing them...

  9. Almost fired today

    spidermonkey replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    It would be ideal if the OP found a job w/a preceptorship- if she is determined to burn this bridge. I don't necessarily think all new grads have to do their time in the trenches (med-surg) anymore,...

  10. Almost fired today

    spidermonkey replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Here's a different twist though- when I was a new RN (in charge of a Med/Surg unit) an office nurse called me w/orders for IV Potassium. I refused to take the order from her- the dr. got on...

  13. Haunted by incidents at work/Part II UPDATE

    spidermonkey replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, over time you will learn to leave work at work, and it's not "all about you". Learn to look at the "big picture" & be thankful that your facility appreciates you as you continue to learn...

  14. Breast Implants

    spidermonkey replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    I think we may have a whole generation that have never actually felt a real human breast..... these posts remind me of a quote I heard once-- "I used to think that the bigger the breasts the less...

  15. Breast Implants

    spidermonkey replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    I have to get this book! My husband has long maintained that women get implants (& other plastic surgeries) not for men, but for other women. The bottom line is self esteem does not come in the...

  16. Breast Implants

  17. Breast Implants

    spidermonkey replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    I am an "A+" and I would not get implants, although for years (in my late 20's-early 30's) I wanted them. I endured all the comments about small breasts-- such as "you're the only girl in your family...

  18. Oh, by the way, the pt. has latex allergy (rant).

    spidermonkey replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work we write the allergies on an armband & place it on the patient next to the name band. We also label the chart, and of course the checklist. If we know about the latex allergy ahead of...

  24. Does working dayshift potentially jeopardize license?

    spidermonkey replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    Although day shift is busier & there's more staff around, more depts, etc. I never felt it was 'unsafe'. I loved the chaos & the busy-ness. I had a much easier time than trying to stay awake...

  25. Threats from Management

    spidermonkey replied to kittyrose's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We're expected to attend a minimum of 1/2 of the staff meetings. "Mandatory" meetings are scheduled so ALL can attend, even if several meetings have to be scheduled. Never heard of disciplinary action...
