  1. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Perception is not reality at all. In fact, far from it, I would find it irritating too if someone continually used that expression as a blanket statement excusing her of any accountability in an...

  2. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I dont think anyone really wants to digress back into the was it or wasnt it bullying argument. But your analogy with pain actually drives the opposite point home that you are attempting to make: The...

  3. Shy nurses

    kaylee. replied to Tesfanurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OMG crazy that you mentioned this book, because after i posted on here 2 months ago, relating to what the OP was going through, i stumbled upon this book randomly, just intrigued by the title, and i...

  4. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In the end I think the only conclusion i can draw after this long roller coaster thread is that there is no way to prove this type of topic as "right" or "wrong", as we have all made some valid points...

  5. Nurses with Panic/Anxiety Disorders & Prescriptions at Work

    kaylee. replied to yasae's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    This has been my experience with xanax: i have anxiety and occasional panic. There are two different states i have been in where xanax works differently. If i come home from night shift and have...

  6. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It wasn't me who suggested you are probably a bully at work, I only said that last bit, which was unnecessary. Also this other part of my post i wanted to clarify for you: "From your posts ruby, I...

  7. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are very right about my last paragraph, it was not well thought out and you are right to feel that way. I do apologize for it. It was

  8. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Me saying that I am well read on bullying is not the kind of comment that is just sooo over-the-top that it warrants you to demand not once, but twice, that I provide you some sort of research project...

  9. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As the position paper describes, the terms are not based on the interaction itself, but rather, a behavior is considered bullying as it is perceived by the recipient. This is the reason for my...

  10. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is from the Position Statement by the ANA and the CENTER for American Nurses, 2007: Verbal abuse is a type of bullying behavior defined as "any communication a nurse perceives to be a harsh,...

  11. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL I was basically going to say the same things you just said Sun Dazed... Please clarify Ruby Vee: from what the OP wrote, you were able to conclude that she is overly sensitive, self-centered, and...

  12. Assertive versus Bullying

    kaylee. replied to SunDazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The comment by the manager sounds condescending and a bit rude, which is a form of bullying!! Sorry to be argumentative but It is frustrating to read a post where someone expresses that they feel...

  13. New Cardiac Nurse

    kaylee. replied to Dobeigh's topic in Cardiac

    Just a comment on the sheath pulling...I am a nine-month old nurse on tele and have only seen one sheath pulling (was still on preceptorship at the time). Most are taken care of in the cath lab...also...

  14. Nursing Interventions for Abnormal Situations

    kaylee. replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would just add something, as a very new grad, it is imperative to not try to remember everything for an emergent situation. The first things to remember are the very basic ABCs, and STAY with the...

  15. Shy nurses

    kaylee. replied to Tesfanurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Think of it more as growth, rather than changing who u are. When i started i had some major self-confidence issues, but one nurse, who took the time to mentor me, said almost those exact words. He...

  17. New Grad Starting on Telemetry - Some questions

    kaylee. replied to ann915's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If its a step-down tele (not a med-surg tele) then usually it is considered 'progressive care' which falls under the umbrella of critical care. Mine is a step down, very challenging floor, i have...

  18. Why does giving report have to be the worst part of my shift

    kaylee. replied to wcbembe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This doesn't happen too often, but had one of these the other day. I guess I would consider myself a "softie", I have a hard time being assertive when approached with aggression. I am working on it....
