Got floated to ER. This RN from a sister hospital came in juiced up with vomit stains all over them. ER doc told the nurse "you just had a little too much to drink". Nurse was not having it protesting "I'M DIABETIC!". Doc was like "not according to y...

Thanks a bunch.

I transfered to Rehab and I love it. After only 3 days I noticed that Rehab has it's own challenges. One is convincing people to get up during night shift to toilet. I'm use to bedpans and urinal, but now that is a no go. I go in, I'm supportive. I t...

Should I still have them get up even if they already urinated in the bed or just change them anyway? One person told me to have them sit in the chair while I change their pad. I suspect some are incontinent by choice. How do I work with those patient...

How have you expressed your displeasure about their choice? Are you questioning why they have not been terminated yet?

Why ask about changing the conversation on vaccination in order to get more people vaccinated, when the people asking don't want to change their conversation. What exactly does the OP want to change? If nothing is broke, no change of conv...

Those irrationals fears won't be quelled with hostile, unsympathetic rhetoric. People will just resist even more. Well that is how it is being interpreted, especially by those who lost their jobs. The thread ask h...

And yet, there is the subject of this question asked by the OP. So like it or not their feelings irrational or not will eventually have to be considered, in order to get more and more people vaccinated. The mandates will work to an extent and then th...

Yep, pretty much. They shouldn't be employed or around any patient anyway. Their emotional state is the effect, the cause is the mandate. Did they really think that when some nurses said "OK I'll accept the consequences" there will no...

I work extra only when it benefits me. If a charge who I'm in good terms with and I respect ask me I might, MIGHT say yes.

Nope and Good Luck with your search for your new endeavor.

I'm sure the fear of being unemployed is VERY effective?. What I don't get is after a person has decided not to take the vaccine and has lost their job, why are some still blaming them for the aftermath at the job they were fired from?

It is cringe worthy and ironically productive for someone to get the vaccine solely out the realization that they will lose their source of income if they do not. Sure they got the vaccine and that is beneficial to them and the society in whole,...

Even administration. Tell about the one CNA or RN that you worked with that was top-notch? What made them stand out and has anyone come close? A little break from the rant threads.

I'm transferring to a rehab facility in a month. It is a new place my hospital will send all their rehab patients from sister hospitals there. I'm so excited. I currently work m/s and my unit has legal holds. Know it won't be easier, but it will...

Your hospital trained you as a new grad and you signed a contract. You HATE your job now. Is it better to stay or leave and payback $$$$$$? I've heard of nurses leaving and paying, but most stay. Then bail after their contract ends. What are you...

I've heard that if you leave and don't pay it back they will financially come after you. Is that true?

You finally decided to transfer to a different unit or even a different hospital within the same system; and you got approved for the transfer. How did things pan out? What were your reasons for transferring?

So you inform the charge or you call a rapid. Even as a CNA you are still a patient advocate.

Sometimes we'll find out the same day. Like I said I don't know the whys, but it happens. Once we had a resident run up to our unit in a hurry, before the pt got to the room.

To be honest. I don't know the whys. All I know is the result on my end, in my unit. What you say is true, not doubting that. Still you have to deal with the unvaccinated and those with COVID. I do know that the identity of the unvaccinated is not a ...

Also there is a difference between being a bully, and bullying a known bully to set them straight. Those coworkers are like legends. Love them.

Hey this reminds me of one my BRILLIANT Threads, "Sympathy for nurse Ratchet". Sometimes in nursing you are almost forced to be the "mean girl". If you don't then patients, Doctors, other nurses, charge nurse, unit mgrs, and lastly staffing wil...

This is the vaccinated elitist attitude I speak of. The CDC says you can still get the Delta Virus and spread it even if fully vaccinated. When will the Snow Piercer COVID Express leave the station?

Who knows. Maybe they are rushed, too busy? I'm sorry that is not an excuse. A flippant neg today positive tomorrow is callous when a patient could potentially be infected.
