  1. Cursing in professional settings

    Eschell2971 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Professional nurses need to think about the words they use when they are operating in a public, professional, setting. Cursing needs to stop! I've been noticing something which I think is not good, to...

  2. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Eschell2971 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Because not everyone sees it on the first 3 days. We're busy making our money. LOL.

  3. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Eschell2971 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Well, since no nurse I know works for free (except maybe Parish Nurses & even they have trade-offs, perks), of course a nurse should 'do it for the money,' if that's what he/she wants to do. As...

  4. On-call or cancelled? That is the question!

    Eschell2971 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello: What is the cancellation/on-call policy at your facility? Last week, my facility instituted a new/updated on-call/cancellation policy. Basically, nurses are no longer cancelled, they are placed...

    Eschell2971 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Eschell2971 replied to juliacaRN's topic in General Nursing

  7. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    Eschell2971 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Hello: Unfortunately, I agree with this male nurse. As a female RN, I OFTEN discuss female communication tactics & emotionalism with my colleagues. One of the primary reasons for all the arguing,...

  8. ethics

    Eschell2971 replied to weezer61's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Did you inform your colleague that she is wrong to do what she's doing? Why are you so focused on getting her 'fired' or 'suspended?' I agree your supervisors should inform her of the policy and that...

  9. Contacted multiple times for same empty shift

    Eschell2971 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    First, all of the above suggestions were great (and funny). I agree with you, in that my time off is my time off. I don't have to answer or return calls because A: this is my phone; B: I am not on...

  10. I hate nursing

    Eschell2971 replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    While I appreciate your honesty, what I'm gonna say may sound mean and incompassionate. But, I don't mean to be harsh, but, it's the point that's important. STOP YOUR WHINING and TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR...

  11. Being Pulled into the Office for calling CAT

    Eschell2971 replied to ryuunohime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would stop letting it "eat me up." It sounds like you did everything you were supposed to do, followed protocol, and used your nursing judgement. I would make sure you write down everything you have...

  13. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    Eschell2971 replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    In the past month, I've heard more than a few good nurses express what you're expressing in this post. As a nurse, I know that it's easy to get comfortable in one position, one facility, for much of...

  14. What Am I Doing Wrong?

    Eschell2971 replied to hennezzy's topic in General Students

    What you need to do first is process your failure. Next, immediately go to the test review and then make a private appointment with your instructor. What class are you taking right now? I don't have...

  15. What Am I Doing Wrong?

    Eschell2971 replied to hennezzy's topic in General Students

    First, take a deep breath! What you're describing has been experienced by 99.99% of all nurses who have SUCCESSFULLY graduated nursing school AND passed their NCLEX. There is hope. Here are a few...

  16. I want to grow my career - What's the best way to advance?

    Eschell2971 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I am also thinking about pursuing an MHA. I actually did not know about the combination MHA/MSN for nurses. Also, what is the best way to document and suggest even small projects for your unit? For...

  17. A little frustrated/confused about BSN/ADN

    Eschell2971 replied to hellfirecat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Stop fretting! Just because someone is more or equally adamant about something does not mean they are right/you're wrong. This is an important life lesson, as well as in this instance. All RNs must...

  21. Getting Our Egos Out of the Hierarchy!

    Eschell2971 replied to BethBoynton's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very timely, relevant, and succinct article. I wonder, will those who need to read this and reflect upon it, do so (i.e ALL of us in some way, shape or form)? By the way, I agree with you...

    Eschell2971 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been working here for almost 7 months, trying to stick out my one year for experience and my resume'. However, I am conscientious and aim to do a good job for my patients and company when I'm...

  25. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    Eschell2971 replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Since you seem to have taken responsibility for your actions, I don't think it would be wrong or insubordinate to ask to meet with your manager and suggest to her that you would prefer to be...
