    Given bad report all the time.

    Emergent replied to MoonlightingNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, it doesn't sound like an earth shattering mistake. Now you know to check this gal's stuff. If the cancer guy didn't get his feeding for the night, it also wouldn't have been the end of the world....

    Customer Service Surveys Have Run Amok

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    At work today, one of the girls who comes in to do patient callbacks was there. In the background I heard her call people over and over again, asking the same questions, over and over. I got home and...

    Working 12s and having a dog/puppy

    Emergent replied to NICUnurse91's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have 2 dogs and they have access to a heated laundry room with a dog door. It's set up for them. It's not natural for a dog to be alone. Look for a rescue, you don't have to start with a...

    Another reason unions suck!

    Emergent replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The seniority issue is huge, and was the main reason I left my job before last. The contract and culture there really stuck it to newer hires, and because it was a small town hospital, you didn't...

    Oh, they can fire people for absenteeism, one of my hospitals fired several last year. They went through the disciplinary steps correctly, the people were all chronically calling in. They all cried...

    I'm not a huge lover of unions, butI work in two unionized hospital, and both handle vacations fairly. I previously worked in a unionized hospital where the union's sole purpose seemed to be to...

    CNA's ARE NOT MAIDS!!!!!!!!!

    Emergent replied to tushka61's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is not a mature response. I think you need to cool your jets and take a deep breath. By the way, 80 hrs of training adds up to 2 full work weeks. You have accomplished something, yes, but that...

    Home births gone wrong

    Emergent replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I had 6 homebirths. Sadly, the American medical system supports interventional childbirth. Home birth is oppressed in most of the nation, making it inherently more dangerous. My best experiences were...

    What did you use to record lectures?

    Emergent replied to emilye_03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I did a lot of doodles in my notes. Artistic borders around different concepts, bolding important words or ideas with fancy lettering, etc. I'm an artistic type, so that worked for me. It helped embed...

    I never recorded lectures. It would have been time prohibitive to listen all over again. I took excellent notes. I was a top student, so it

    Emergent replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    No advice, just ((((hugs)))). She sounds like a low-class, coorifice, insufferable woman. Ugh. I'm sure others must have noticed her disgusting behavior. Start cultivating friends there who are...

    I was shopping at a local variety store today and saw a flyer that they're taking applications for a loss prevention person. Well, I've always had a desire to be a store detective, so I applied. I'd...

    Need advice: Nurse Bullying

    Emergent replied to mickeyrose912's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like they are insecure and jealous. Some nurses in med surg get an inferiority complex since they are lower on the hospital unspoken hierarchy. Which I think is BS, I've worked many areas of...
