  1. Obese Nurses

    ANnot4me replied to Goldentreasure's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I extensively interview all nurses who care for me. Factors that I feel impede safe care by an RN are a caloric intake above or below the trend of the day (I so agree, fatties are icky), history of...

  2. Nurse's Week Gifts from Employers

    ANnot4me replied to twss2323's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses' Day is patronizing. There is no "Toilet Cleaners Day", no "Garbage Collectors' Day" and no "Street Sweepers'" Day. We all do are job and we get paid. If you want to appreciate me, treat...

    ANnot4me replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked in General Medicine 20 years ago as a new nurse and had very little knowledge of delirium. I am not sure if it was a training deficit or if it was something that just did not "click" with...

    ANnot4me replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ANnot4me replied to alprn1414's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Accept your responsibility in this situation. Learn from it, get a new job and don't make the same mistake again. I am a man, made the same mistake and it was a very hard life

  11. Nurse Bullying

    ANnot4me replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have never been to ND and I have no concern as to what your hillbilly state's Nurse Practice Act contains. I would be shocked if your Nurse Practice Act did not contain any mention of professional...

  15. What to do about coworker not pulling her weight

    ANnot4me replied to guest947568's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What if your co-worker or "things" will never change? How will you change? Will you change? Are you a victim? What will you change? Take responsibility for your predicament as you always have a...

    ANnot4me replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a member of Allnurses for many years. Take the personal feedback you get here with a grain of salt. You may find support here and you may find yourself viciously attacked. This site...

  17. Question from a doc on NP education

    ANnot4me replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a nurse, the first thing I must say is wash your hands. We must never forget what Florence taught us all. Secondly, in any given situation, one's qualifications do not determine the patient's best...

    ANnot4me replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

  20. MD's treat male nurses with more respect?

    ANnot4me replied to Bluebolt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a complex issue but I think it comes down to the fact that people will only treat you disrespectfully if you allow it to happen. Men and women are socialised differently and I have had to...

    ANnot4me replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    A sincere error is made without intention or knowledge of wrongdoing and that means that a person has done something wrong without knowledge or malice. All people make errors. I once worked with a...

    ANnot4me replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in General Nursing
