    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Lifestyle choices should not interfere with a person's ability to do their job. Having a baby is a lifestyle choice. It becomes inappropriate when the accommodation is not used for the reason it was...

    No Respect.

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's time to STOP telling nurses with valid observations about the profession (yes, even negative observations/realities) to leave. How the heck else is anything supposed to get better if we...

    What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career

    I empathize with you. The current incarnation and direction of the nursing profession is extremely abusive, burdensome, and burning out nurses faster than it takes to become lisenced. Anyone who says...

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    There may be many other factors involved that the OP is omitting or unaware of. I worked with a nurse who exploited the fact that she was a nursing mother to take frequent, lengthy breaks off the...

    Doctor upset by charting

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to LalaRN9000's topic in General Nursing

    Charting verbatim is appropriate, creates context, and helps build a record of history. For example, if there are issues with family dynamics or legitimate concerns of an HCP, consistent documentation...

    What HARD truth have you learned once you became a nurse and/or CNA?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that bedside is intolerable long term, and that many in the profession are miserable and desperately searching for ways out. Others are clinging to their area of specialty like a jail...

    all units over capacity

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    One of the hospitals I work at (considered to be a "prestigious" facility and coveted by many new grads here as the holy grail of places to work) is anything but. Most recently, we're experiencing...

    Is working as LPN in Nursing home easy?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to PoppyLizz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The OP's question feels like a rhetorical question. I don't mean to sound dismissive, but the answer seems so obvious to me and probably most nurses who read the OP's post. The answer = NO....

    Denied PTO for my marriage

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to ryuunohime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would suggest that you STOP looking at the problems, and FOCUS on the solutions. The hospital I work in follows/honors by seniority as well. No matter how far in advance you plan for time off, it's...

    $29/hr--why am I still in this job!?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to ndnursepract's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seriously, no kidding. In rural areas where I live, RNs & NPs get a high starting salary, signing bonus, premiums, monthly Retention Bonus and allowances. Sometimes, I genuinely consider the...

    Disgusted. How to report...

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to ThrowawayAccount's topic in Florida Nursing

    This reminds me of Capt. Lisa Marie Nowak, the NASA astronaut who the authorities say attacked her rival (Colleen Shipman) for another astronaut's affection at Orlando International Airport on Monday...

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to ThrowawayAccount's topic in Florida Nursing

    Perhaps the OP is the jilted lover or either the MD or paramedic? This post is insane, it's none of the OP's business. Go adopt a pet if you need a hobby because you clearly have way too much time to...

    Falsifying documentation

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to jigi888's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely, give the patient a complaint form if that's how the facility handles allegations. Patients file complaints for all sorts of things all the time, and the majority of complaints are trivial...

    Falsifying documentation

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to jigi888's topic in General Nursing

    The OP wasn't there and doesn't know what actually happened. At this point it's hearsay because the OP did not witness the other nurse deliver care. Did the patient potentially take off the bandage...

    recently let go of a job

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Starseed6389's topic in General Nursing

    This is so freakin' true, the majority of employers expect you to hit the ground running. Sometimes it makes me wish I could just quit this b**ch career altogether, be a beach bum with a very...

    recently let go of a job

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Starseed6389's topic in General Nursing

    You are still getting your bearings. This too shall pass! Trust me, I've been there before. Doctor's working in clinics make a good chunk of their money based on how many patients they can see and...

    Should nursing pay remain modest?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Longleggedstar's topic in General Nursing

    Just like the dinosaurs were real, inflation is real... the cost of living, education, etc. Naturally our pay-scale has to grow with the times and our ever-evolving and expanding scope and educational...

    Should nursing pay remain modest?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Longleggedstar's topic in General Nursing

    I second that, and would question... is this "veteran nurse" suffering from dementia or some form of psychosis? Because her logic is pure

    Sick policy vs. reality

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to rquinn0111's topic in General Nursing

    PM me and tell me where you work so I can apply!!! Because I work for a prominent acute care hospital and nurses work while sick, injured, sleep deprived, and into the late stages of pregnancy. Tell...

    Nursing a prejudiced Pt.

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Avid reader's topic in General Nursing

    That guy sounds like a peach. Honestly, the level of lunacy...SMH. I find this less offensive more than I do a shining example of depraved stupidity. So, he'd rather risk his own life then allow...

    Nursing a prejudiced Pt.

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Avid reader's topic in General Nursing

    Racism is everywhere and often "closer to home" than you think... some people just conceal it better than others. One of my exes (who is Jewish) and his whole family are all well-educated, most of...
