    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    RNsRWe replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In trying to stay on the topic of the thread, I think it's reasonable to point out that regardless of how healthy someone may or may not be, how attractive someone may or may not be, it's really a...

    Malpractice insurance

    RNsRWe replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I *believe* you are going to find the great majority of nurses use NSO, and it's inexpensive if you choose to go that route (just over a hundred bucks a year). Some have riders/inclusions in their...

    Interventions without MD orders

    RNsRWe replied to Novo's topic in General Nursing

    Your ideas aren't revolutionary, they've been around for decades. And it isn't a difference in culture, but experience and education. You have these ideas after only a short time in a nursing program...

    Bringing home notes on pt. care??

    RNsRWe replied to 2bAngilRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, now you know what working nurses actually do, and what they think about your instructor's advice. Your choice at this point. Going off on another note of this, I wonder what the litigation...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    RNsRWe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone else in favor of tossing this thread (and the ridiculous posts/posters along with it) in favor of a half-bottle of merlot?? And maybe a ham sandwich. Much more satisfying than

    Why Can't Spouses and Families Understand The NOC Schedule?

    RNsRWe replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I thought my list was bad: When they were young, the kids knew to wake me ONLY if the house was on fire (and it better be actual fire), there was blood---and ALOT of blood, I mean POOLS of...

    Why Can't Spouses and Families Understand The NOC Schedule?

    RNsRWe replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    ...and if any of you figures out the answer to this, many will applaud you: You worked a 12 last night. You stayed to give report and chart, so didn't leave work until 8:30 am. You got home after...

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    RNsRWe replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You could take out the word "nurse" and substitute ANY job for which one must go through the interviewing process, and come up the same: image, looks, attitude, attire, grooming...ALL of it matters....

    Interventions without MD orders

    RNsRWe replied to Novo's topic in General Nursing

    As has been so aptly said, people can and do take tons of OTCs on their own. However, while people can and do take tons of OTCs on their own, when they do so *I* am not responsible for them. If...

    12hr days vs 12hr nights in a hospital

    RNsRWe replied to litebrightgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Huge difference. Don't know how anyone could possibly say "no difference at all". The thing is, the difference between the two means that some people would kill to stay on days over nights, or nights...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    RNsRWe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    WAY back somewhere, I posted that I had gone to that site, read some messages, and decided it was not worthy of a return visit. Seems, though, that since so many of them are HERE, it's much the

    Bringing home notes on pt. care??

    RNsRWe replied to 2bAngilRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would be my interpretation that acknowledging care done for a patient IS private information; the fact that John Doe was ever a patient is private....and that he had XYZ procedure is private,...

    RNsRWe replied to 2bAngilRN's topic in General Nursing

    "She said its best to make notes, take them home, and file them away just in case some legal actions are in pursuit in the future. The instructor is not the first nurse I have heard say this." I have...

    Why Can't Spouses and Families Understand The NOC Schedule?

    RNsRWe replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    I had a sign up on the garage door (the door you'd see first, before the front door) that stated "Night Shift Worker Sleeping During Daytime Hours, please don't ring doorbell". Thankfully didn't have...

    Why Can't Spouses and Families Understand The NOC Schedule?

    RNsRWe replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked nights, I used to be ready to kill my inlaws every couple of weeks....one of them would stop by to see the kids, or hubby, and would speak VERY QUIETLY, IN WHISPERS that could be heard...

    VA problems are in most hospitals

    RNsRWe replied to rnpatrick's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, to quote a friend of mine, "When you've seen one VA hospital....you've seen one VA hospital". In other words, they vary as much as every other hospital in the nation. So no, I don't think it's...
