  1. Travelers: picky scheduling

    mustangsheba replied to redhedgoddess's topic in General Nursing

    I see nothing wrong with what she did. The fault lies in the person who agreed to her stipulation. Why doesn't your facility get someone to cover for her on

  2. Unsafe future nurse! What do you think??

    mustangsheba replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    If this person didn't have poor judgement, she wouldn't have any judgement at all! Danger! I agree with Phantom - don't be associated with her. When she gets caught, you might suffer in the fall...

  3. Co-workers with poor grooming habits

    mustangsheba replied to duckie's topic in General Nursing

    Popularity has nothing to do with being therapeutic. Where in God's name did this person go to school? Please let me know so I can dissuade anyone from going there. Part of professionalism is...

  4. Starting a Home Health Agency

    mustangsheba replied to DJH's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you have all your ducks in a row about documentation and other federal requirements. I have seen independent HH businesses get nailed big

  5. Assignment Objection/Unsafe Staffing Form

    mustangsheba replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry - I must have missed

  6. Assignment Objection/Unsafe Staffing Form

    mustangsheba replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with jt. File the report. That's bunch of crap. (sorry!) Why wasn't this 89 yo in

  7. Help I am a new grad and I made a medication error!

    mustangsheba replied to Rosey's topic in General Nursing

    Let me add a little extra note here that may also be of use down the road. I requested a pain medication for one of my patients last night. The Doc ordered Vicodin. My little nurse Guardian Angel,(...

  8. Help I am a new grad and I made a medication error!

    mustangsheba replied to Rosey's topic in General Nursing

    Rosey: The up side of this is you will most likely never make this type of error again. Figure out to a gnat's eyebrow how it happened so you can prevent it's happening again. I can't tell you how...

  9. bricklayer's accident report - very funny!

    mustangsheba replied to randomnamees's topic in Nursing Humor

    Only a Brit could say it so well, I think! I love

  10. Are you ashamed of being a nurse?

    mustangsheba replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't continue to be a nurse if it were something I was ashamed of. Fortunately, it is a calling that serves me well as well as helping others; add that 100K salary, and who could ask for

  11. Gave pt the WRONG blood!

    mustangsheba replied to codebluechic's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Code: My heart goes out to you. I would have hurled all the way home. Right now, I can't think of a thing you could have done at the time that would have avoided this. That is the really scary...

  12. Is nursing a "calling"

    mustangsheba replied to fiestynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Another little note here. Larry: I loved your post. It makes me feel so good to see someone turn themselves around. I was a very good girl, but the MMPI we had to take when doing our psych...

  13. Is nursing a "calling"

    mustangsheba replied to fiestynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    For me personally, nursing is a calling. That doesn't mean it is a calling for everyone who is a good nurse. We need diversity to keep us centered as long as the patients' needs take priority. We...

  14. Jay Leno's "joke" about nurses

    mustangsheba replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    Just an observation re:numbers of male nurses. Last night, half of the nurses where I worked were male. That's pretty good

  15. How old are you?

    mustangsheba replied to Rhona's topic in General Students

    Hey, my little chickadees. I got my ADN when I was 43 and the average age of my class was 35 (oldest 60). I am back in school after practicing nursing for 19 years. The diversity in nursing is a...

  16. whistle blowers & retaliation...

    mustangsheba replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

    I reported problems with following another nurse who was doing damage with her dressing changes and was inappropriate. Our manager was no help. The nurse was finally banned by the caregivers of the...

  17. IS THIS YOU?

    mustangsheba replied to SUBQ's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I'm an agency nurse so no can

  18. Here is an idea for you

    mustangsheba replied to Navy Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Re: Nurses buying hospitals. The Sisters of Providence have done fairly well. I'm not sure what the actual hierarchy is, but they are still Catholic based hospitals with nuns in administrative...

  19. 44 days and not one day off.....

    mustangsheba replied to J in MN's topic in General Nursing

    J - For heaven's sake. This is a horror story written by the person who worked those days. NOBODY can force you to work like that. That was a personal choice. Nursing is full of martyrs but we...

  20. Nurse using drugs at work - ? violent

    mustangsheba replied to peggy101's topic in General Nursing

    It definitely sounds as if she's working impaired. She needs to be relieved of her duties, not in a punitive way but so she accepts that her performance is not up to standards. We all agree that...

  21. What age do you plan to retire?

    mustangsheba replied to eventsnyc's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect I will die while on the way to empty a bedpan. I MUST quit procrastinating about my

  22. Good Things

    mustangsheba replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked at a great hospital the past two nights. It's well staffed and everyone works together and tells you what a pleasure it has been to work with you when the shift is over. It must be...

  23. Mandatory Overtime???

    mustangsheba replied to nanablue2's topic in General Nursing

    So, how much does it cost the facility to get this MAGNET award? Is it cheaper than accreditation by

  24. I would rather strangle our old nurses rather than eat the young.

    mustangsheba replied to Chuckie's topic in General Nursing

    I think the behavior you describe has more to do with how long these people have worked in one place and their personalities than how old they are. Not all of us old chicks are in a rut. I dislike...

  25. are they going to judge me...........need advice

    mustangsheba replied to micknmel's topic in General Nursing

    Mick: It's amazing how little is known in the medical community about panic disorders. Bottom line is don't worry about it. If it manifests itself, deal with it at the time. I don't have an...
