  1. What do you call the tracking device nurses sometimes wear?

    mushyrn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I will change that to: new job! I can see tracking being useful useful when trying to find someone, but 24/7? That is

  2. What do you call the tracking device nurses sometimes wear?

    mushyrn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe people actually wear these at work. This is a ridiculous concept. So professional our employers have to keep tracking leashes on us. Good lord. Edit: I would NEVER wear one.

  3. Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

    mushyrn replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly the sort of pettiness and divisiveness that nearly makes me regret entering nursing. I cannot believe that adults behave this way. If your shift is 7-3, you work 7-3, and anything...

  4. Not taking a break

    mushyrn replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    Once you give report to the covering RN, those patients and whatever happens to them during your unpaid break are THEIR responsibility, not yours. Leave your bed alarms on and your bedside alarms...

  5. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    mushyrn replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is somewhat suspicious, on both the poster's part and the employer. While it IS entirely possible for the employer to be willing to throw someone under the bus like that, some people who do...

  6. I was a stripper ..

    mushyrn replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, my coworkers generally tell me they love me wherever I go. So, there's that. But I don't work to be friends; I want to get the job done and make it the best time it can be for all of us....

  7. I was a stripper ..

    mushyrn replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Nursing Career

    I definitely forgot about this thread for a while. Anyhow, It is quite obvious that you feed off of drama and lack a formalized education which included quality English courses. Thankfully, as a...

  8. Sick of night shift

    mushyrn replied to Jbetty's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Then switch to days. People all over the world work a day job and have kids. Some even work day and night jobs.

  9. Am I supposed to hate my first nursing job??

    mushyrn replied to StevietheRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This does not sound like a normal step-down unit (PCU), but rather an "observation" unit you later describe it as. A bad one, at that. A true step-down will usually only have 3-4 patients at most....

  10. I was a stripper ..

    mushyrn replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Nursing Career

    Can I just say, please don't go into nursing. I wouldn't want anyone, nurse, doctor, lab tech, working on me with an attitude like yours. That attitude seems like it came straight out of Walmart and...

  11. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    mushyrn replied to shermainenevels's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was talking about the LVN/PN programs. These people are still called "Nurses" and it becomes confusing and overall detrimental to the name, I feel. I'm not saying that I am better than these...

  12. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    mushyrn replied to shermainenevels's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My feelings about the BSN as entry haven nothing to do with someone who is already a nurse and working. I am talking about the FUTURE. Where do we want our profession to go? If we want to...

  13. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    mushyrn replied to shermainenevels's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Indoctrinated opinion? This is just where our society is going. Higher education levels command higher respect in general. No lawyer, doctor (medical or "real" Ph.D. Doctor), engineer, other...

  14. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    mushyrn replied to shermainenevels's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It is this type of crap that is so saddening for our profession. Nursing, again, is the only "profession" that puts down other members for having an appropriately-leveled education to legitimately be...

  15. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    mushyrn replied to shermainenevels's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    While I don't think phasing out, such as in firing, LPNs and ADNs, is the proper way to go about things, I do feel that making the BSN the new minimum standard entry to the profession is a good way to...

  16. Disrespectful patient

    mushyrn replied to hwknrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Whoa. While I agree the patient sounds like a completely rude mess, it is not your place to tell him to grow up or that he is being pathetic. Yes, in my mind I would have been asking "Who raised...

  17. Best practices: Controlled substance handling

    mushyrn replied to c3poshideout's topic in Patient Medications

    Lol. Overkill to the extreme. Mistakes happen, trusty coworkers know and understand this. 3 hours later if you're stumbling in the hallway and drooling all over yourself, maybe then they would...

  18. 4 weeks post interview... Still haven't heard back!!

    mushyrn replied to Nurseinthemaking20's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    On one hand I see how busy a manager can be and how many hiring rules they have to follow, but you should not stop job searching until you've accepted and signed an offer you want and are starting on...

  19. HH agency harassment after I quit!

    mushyrn replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Home Health

    I don't see how they could get you for patient abandonment, as long as you have not accepted or agreed to see any patients that you will be unable to see. However, I'm not too familiar with...

  20. What age did you complete your BSN or ASN?

    mushyrn replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ADN - 22, BSN -

  21. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    mushyrn replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    These nurses, besides being terrible nurses, are also terrible people. I would definitely say something if I overheard that, especially within earshot of the patient AND other patients on the floor?...

  22. NICU vs MedSurg

    mushyrn replied to migo1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It really depends on what population you want to work with. Do you want to help babies only, or the whole age spectrum? On my med/surg unit we get babies to elderly, depending. Also, med/surg is...

  23. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    mushyrn replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    INFP - I work med/surg & home

  24. cancle my nclex result

    mushyrn replied to kaurb22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The rules are pretty clear before you ever even walk into the testing center. Just read

  25. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    mushyrn replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    Attitude ... adjustment? Anyone? Rude. Maybe it's you, and not them, who are causing problems with that kind of response to helpful
