    All white male nursing shoes available in wide

    Emergent replied to nohlsson1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm sorry, but this post sounds racist to me. White males have ruled this country long enough, now they expect their own nursing shoes??? Enough is

    WHY OH WHY? Every year-------competencies!!!!!

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just generally annoyed with constant computer competency reminders from my wonderful manager who has got to be the most organized person I know. God bless her. Now we are changing systems so I...

    My good friend is a 'witch' at work

    Emergent posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was talking to one of my good friends. I've worked with her, yes she is rather difficult at work. She loathes those with skill levels beneath her. She is belittling, condescending, she undermines...

    My good friend is a 'witch' at work

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think my friend just doesn't realize how she comes across when she corrects or criticizes someone. She comes on strong and intolerant at times, but doesn't have the self awareness to see that. She...

    My good friend is a 'witch' at work

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I told her today. I told her that she is a witch. She and I had a big falling out at one time because of her witchiness. She vacillates between acknowledgement of her witchy ways and denial. I...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Emergent replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It boils down to that, in my opinion. For those basing their opinions on moral codes, the Bible has a lot to say about gossip, and it's not supportive of rumor spreading behavior. My department is...

    Do you think too tight pants causes abdominal problems?

    Emergent posted a topic in Emergency

    This is just an anecdotal observation of, especially the female population that comes to the ER. I notice that when I assist the ladies into their gowns, that many many women wear ridiculously tight...

    One thing we can all agree upon: RubyVee started another lively, epic thread! Well done Ruby! I've enjoyed reading this discussion, it's

    Should high absenteeism be cause to be fired?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Maybe a better method of funding for sick days would be to pay each employee a bit more money in lieu of PTO time, and we all self-fund our vacation/sick time. We can all, then, be adults who save...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Emergent replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You make a salient point there, dusky. I did think that 'affair' was rather pathetic. FDR, on the other hand, had a mistress who was an ongoing companion. Somehow, that's more respectable in my mind....

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Emergent replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have two thoughts about this. First of all, the opening post seemed a little too specific. If I worked with the OP, I might guess who she is. It's a small world. People's personalities come out here...

    Anyone ever regret going from FT to PT?

    Emergent replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you will ever regret being part time when you have little ones. I did it when mine were small. Babies love their mamas best of all, and if you can make it, do it. Part time will keep you...

    Fake call outs irritate me

    Emergent posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, Labor Day weekend is over. We had a couple of obvious fake sick calls, leaving the day shift short. Both of them were by people annoyed with management, nurses who constantly, self righteously...

    Have you ever cried in front of the relatives?

    Emergent replied to Purple_roses's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have cried in front of patients a few times, feeling empathy and grief along with them. I didn't totally lose it, but sometimes, being human, I have broken down a bit. It helps to hug the person and...

    Fake call outs irritate me

    Update here. One of the nurses who called out on Labor Day Weekend was fired. She was a good nurse, but called out frequently, always coincidentally on holidays and

    Purposeless Ranting just to make myself feel better for a second.

    Emergent replied to CourtneyRN2014's topic in General Nursing

    I started out in a tiny nursing home, there just weren't many jobs available when I graduated. I, also, worked my butt off, raising children, very little money, had my car break down, oh, and my...
