    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, my God, yes! It would be an honor to catch the attention of such a "self-centered flittergibbet"! Believe it or not, I left out a bunch of twists and turns for the sake of brevity, though by...

    Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    S3 works for me! I can't draw, but I could definitely draw you a map to North South East West Conference Education Fornication Fermentation Room #82 (or Never-Eat-Soggy-Waffles CEFFR 82). It is, after...

    Abuse Accusations

    sideshowstarlet replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I had no idea that that's a thing. It seems unlikely to be lethal, but the suicidal ideation and intent was clearly present. I always appreciate you sharing your experience. Now that I'm...

    Abuse Accusations

    Honestly, if it was so important that this patient have an unlimited supply of toilet paper on demand, why was the facility making it so inconvenient to access? I get there was hoarding happening...

    Do you ever get disappointed when certain nurses call in?

    Do you ever get disappointed when certain nurses call in?

    sideshowstarlet replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I can't get over this part. How did Fren Bren react? Did she try to hide it? Try to clean/exchange the chair without anyone noticing? Or did she try to blame the RN, complaining that she had to wait a...

    What will be your New Year resolution?

    sideshowstarlet replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    My New Year's resolution is to eat better and get more physical activity. I've found the only exercise I'm consistent with is walking. For the past year or so, I've pretty much been walking...

    Considering Quitting My Job- Had Enough (Kind of a Vent Post)

    sideshowstarlet posted a topic in General Nursing

    I normally work PRN. For the past month, I've been working full time plus overtime covering a nurse who went out on FMLA. So, I picked up a whole bunch of extra hours at the last minute since there...

    Considering Quitting My Job- Had Enough (Kind of a Vent Post)

    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    That's insane! You originally agreed to 1-2 days. You did them a favor by increasing to 3-4 days. You were never meant to do that forever. Is your company going to start providing health insurance for...

    Considering Quitting My Job- Had Enough (Kind of a Vent Post)

    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    Passive-aggressiveness (and incompetence) is the company culture. So tired of this job, even though I'm just working Mondays and Tuesdays now. I'm always coming on to a mess. When I have more time,...

    Passive Hostility Between Workplace Departments

    They don't forget. They just don't have the cojones to discuss it with the person but still want the feeling of self-importance that they get from complaining to the

    Update! Supervisor said she didn't realize that the note she sent me attempting to clarify Friday did not go to my personal email. Whatever. I took myself down to twice a week (to minimize risk of...

    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    No, definitely not. I'm still PRN. The supervisor said that the same attendance policy applies to PRN nurses as full-time nurses. And extra money tied to not calling out sick? You mean like an...

    The supervisor said it's a violation since I agreed to cover the full-timer on FMLA and this would have been one of her shifts if she were here. But then again, my supervisor sometimes tells......

    Thanks, Daisy4RN. I've stayed PRN this whole time. I just happen to be a PRN person working a ridiculous amount of hours. Supervisor wasn't there Friday. I saw the email when I came in Friday...

    Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

    sideshowstarlet replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my employer does and is currently giving me flack for calling out sick even with a doctor's note. I'm not buddy-buddy with the supervisor, so that could be

    I missed these long forum threads on AllNurses. ? I'm sorry you were fired, joansmith1. Some units/hospitals/managers are a crappy fit. You'll find something better. I'd wonder what your facility...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    sideshowstarlet replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I must have missed that post, but giraffes are highly controversial. I once saw a nature documentary referring to giraffes as "Tall blondes." One can only imagine the jealousy-driven NETY-ness that...

    Your sense of humor isn't dead yet, Davey Do. You have about 10 years of jokes left in you, followed by another 15 years of wry observations about the weather and Midwestern
