  1. lost panties

    Luv2BAnurse replied to nrsbetrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm just wondering, since they came from a specialty shop, if they were the kind with built in incontinence padding. That could definitely explain the cost. But, what to do about them being...

  7. Double Standard BS

    Luv2BAnurse replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I was in labor, I couldn't have cared less whether my nurse had ever gone through childbirth or not. As long as she knew what she was doing, or at least was willing to get help, she was all right...

    Luv2BAnurse replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

  10. Are all places like this?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Dallas_bound_06's topic in General Nursing

    No, not all, but some. But that doesn't mean you have to work there. If it is something you can tolerate, stay a while to see if the new DON can facilitate changes. How long has she been there anyway?...

  13. Southern Nurses Please Help!

    Luv2BAnurse replied to AngelicLady's topic in General Nursing

    I live in the middle of NC. The RN starting pay in my area is around 18.50-19.50, depending on the facility. The cost of living is not bad here. Mountains to the west and Coast to the east...more ice...

  14. Help*please* co-worker lying blaming me for her possible mistake

    Luv2BAnurse replied to MarsMe's topic in General Nursing

    Just keep to the facts if you are questioned. Neither accept "blame", nor accuse anyone of "blaming" you. IF it comes down to he said/she said, I would just reply "he/she must be mistaken, I didn't...

  17. Press Gainey AARRGGHH

    Luv2BAnurse replied to susi_q's topic in Emergency

  19. Cussing Co-Workers

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

  23. Why do they bother coming in anyway??

    Luv2BAnurse replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Luv2BAnurse replied to dspring's topic in Emergency
