    Nursing supply

    nurse4theplanet replied to coltrane02's topic in General Nursing

    okay, I'll bite... The shortage of nurses is going to continue to grow in the next decade or so, it may even double. This can be a scary thought because it will further stretch our ability to provide...

    Appropriate Action?

    nurse4theplanet replied to mdmetz's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't call passing on unwanted advice and judgement a crime. Inappropriate yes! Grounds for diciplinary action, yes! But let's keep in mind, this is a student...a first year student at that....

    I think that you meant well but your wording took on a sort of tsk-tsk kick em when there down tone. She doesn't need to hear what she did wrong, bc it doesn't matter....what's done is done. She...

    Standardized Uniforms?

    nurse4theplanet replied to shoelace's topic in General Nursing

    Never been a part of a committee. I came into a hospital that already had a dress code in full force. I have to say I love it! Especially as a new employee. Everyone is color coded based on...

    nurse4theplanet replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    That will depend on the lender and the unpaid debt in question. I am not saying that she should not try to fix the problem. But what is done is done so she needs to relax and figure out a plan to...

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    nurse4theplanet replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    oh and another thing...if this is the only complaint she has about his hospital stay then she is a lucky woman! I am sure DA would have taken a different tone, had her issue been missed meds,...

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    nurse4theplanet replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    The woman herself said that she struggles with the idea of her husband laying naked in front of another woman. WOMAN, not nurse. Come on, obviously she has a bit of a jealousy issue not a modesty...

    Person who has a seizure

    nurse4theplanet replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the majority of this post. Place person in side lying position and protect them from injury. Then I would yell for someone nearby to call 911 while *I* timed the seizure and observed...

    nurse4theplanet replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    nurse4theplanet replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    bawaaaaaaahaaahahahaha! I LOVE Abbey's comment. This lady sounds a little prudish. But then again, like Abbey said...my patients are as sexless as a CPR dummy! HOW TRUE! Maybe this woman doesn't...

    16.50 Starting Wage for a Grad Nurse???? Oh No! Say it Ain't So.....

    nurse4theplanet replied to chattypattyCRNA2B's topic in General Nursing

    Certainly good in theory, but the hospitals just hire agency or travelers. Plus how many new RNs feel certain enough about what they are worth to really haggle...most are quite timid and I think the...

    nurse4theplanet replied to chattypattyCRNA2B's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be too quick to compare Wisconsin or Texas or Florida (or any other state with Mississippi) as we are considered one of the top "poorest" states of all 50. *Remember* the cost of living...

    Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    nurse4theplanet replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    My best advice is to call the credit agencies and dispute the bills. There are three: TransUnion, Experian, and another that I can't think of at the moment. This will make the charges sort of...
