  1. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    bellini replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not an American, so does not apply. Good luck with that,

  2. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    bellini replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We signed up for this. We signed up to take care of sick, infectious patients. If you feel that is I is "defeatist" to do what you were (presumably) trained and hired to do, maybe you and your...

  3. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    bellini replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thousands upon thousands of people are without a stable income now (think of those who work in businesses that have declared non-essential and small business owners). Nurses at least have a source of...

  4. Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    bellini replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this still exists. With some doctors, you have to be careful to not seem to be making a suggestion or to be voicing an opinion, because if you do you will be slapped down hard. And I say this as...

  5. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    bellini replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. And why rigorous nursing education and training as knowledge work should be the first line of defense. This task-monkey orientation to nursing practice is the greatest threat to patient...

  6. Have you done this ?

    bellini replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    You are the voice of sanity that we need in this

    bellini replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    What IS the point,

  8. When they're SO sure they're right...

    bellini replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, don't find many of the comments as "with" laughing. I find many of the comments to be of the "look at what this moron did!!"

  9. When they're SO sure they're right...

    bellini replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. This is mean-spirited and self-righteous. I will wager that every one of us can identify something bone-headed that we have done at some time in our careers. That said, if licensed nurses are...

  10. "I am a nurse!"

    bellini replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Hilarious. We had a patient's family member say "I know as much as the doctors" because he had been at the bedside every afternoon for a couple of weeks. He had been able to be at the bedside because...

  11. Toxic Workplace: have the rose colored glasses fallen off?

    bellini replied to lelms's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You handled this bad situation with professionalism. I admire

  12. Staff Retention Policies

    bellini replied to Positive_Outlook's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I were a Nursing Sister of Yore; i.e. a nun. Then I might be able to deliver this.

  13. Staff Retention Policies

    bellini replied to Positive_Outlook's topic in General Nursing

    This just not exist

  16. EKG Rhythm Interpretation

    bellini replied to EmxoRenee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with a previous comment that you need to adopt a systematic approach when you are learning rhythm interpretation. I think you are getting tripped up because you are using a pattern recognition...

  17. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    bellini replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can't like this

  18. Seniority

    bellini replied to lexyrn71's topic in General Nursing

    Seniority is a necessary but not sufficient criterion for promotion. To be qualified for a management position, you need a lot of clinical knowledge and experience and charge experience...and you...

  19. It's not my job to pray with you.

    bellini replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    And how could there be a control anyway? How can you be certain that no one is praying for patients? Or if knowing that one is being prayed for is thought to be the salient variable, then how,...

  20. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    bellini replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

  21. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    bellini replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Except that that kind of makes it seem as though the nurse was somehow at fault for

  22. Coworker and Patient Harm (Title edited)

    bellini replied to Msmedic68w's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. The current safety culture dogma greatly underestimates, if not outright ignores, the importance of nursing

    bellini replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Basic Arrhythmias, by Gail Walraven. Hundreds of strips to interpret, which is what you need when you are

  24. Hand off

    bellini replied to b747girl5's topic in General Nursing

    To add to what others have said, a systematic body systems approach is helpful so that nothing is missed...I like the mnemonic Could an RN Want to GUess What's GoIng on for Circulatory, Respiratory,...

  25. New Grad Tele Advice

    bellini replied to TERN2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would recommend "Basic Arrhythmias" by Gail Walraven. A 7th edition is now out.All editions provide hundreds of rhythm strips to
