1. Missouri 2. 10 years 3. MICU 4. $24.01/hr 5. $2;2nd shift, $3;3rd shift 6. Union? It's being discussed now, made the paper.

I don't know what to do. Co-workers want me to talk to HR, not sure that I trust them.

I've worked in this unit 7 years, 5 on nights. She also worked nights. When I was able to transfer to days it was such a relief then she came to days and with her so did the problems. 8 RN's on nights left at one time. She micromanages the staff, sh...

No not union. As of Thursday of last week, management has changed the policy again. Now we are allowed four days. What are they doing?

New hospital policy is that you can only have 2 days off a year, a rolling year. We went from six days to two days. Does not matter why. No doctor notes, et. We​ receive merit salary increases partly influenced by attendance. Very unhappy employees.

All employees. The office 9-5 should not have as a hard time with this, as the nurses with 12 hour shifts.

Our management has cut back on everything RN. No bonus for picking up extra shifts, no meal passes, no, no and more no. Nurses should not be in it for the $. So, no cost of living raises, first one in over 7 years was 0.75. Mandatory everything, staf...

Our unit is ALWAYS short. RN's quit in groups! We have 2-3 float pool RN's on any given day.

If you are late twice it equals 1 day, and we can not leave our shift early, that also counts.

That was what we had until January 1/14. After 2, a verbal, after 4, a written, next termination. AND it goes back in time to your last call in. 99% are receiving a verbal warning. It's hard to wrap our heads around it.

We are thinking that next will be a cut to our PTO.

Sadly, this is normal for pt's coming in to my unit (MICU). We expect it actually. We are considered negative Nancy's if we complain to management. THEY do not want to hear it..

Level I Trauma Center with 23 Bed MICU (my unit), CRRT's are run by our RN's as throughout the other units. HD are run by the HD RN's.

How does your units deal with having no PN and you have to take your pt to IR, CT, MRI,et? Your other pt is left in the unit to be watched over by another RN who already has 2 critical pts, or 1 with a new unstable admit? Who cares for your pt? I re...

Hi Hilda, I work as a nurse in a MICU with 23 beds, fast turn over of pt's. Just this week I have begun Humera. It is worrisome. We are exposed to everything in my unit, and sometimes are unaware of the exposure for a day or two. I also just ordere...

Saturday, myself and a traveler were assigned 3 pts in the MICU. Our unit can not refuse to accept new admit's for ANY reason. The unit is bleeding experienced nurses. Management goal of 80% new hires/20% experienced nurses in every unit every floor....

no cancelations, yes there was extra shifts offered

Telemetry, floated to a different floor every night. Okay, Good Sam's did do great scheduling.

GoodLuck! I traveled to Good Sam with RN Network. Over 300 travelers at that time. Good Sam RN's treated me LIKE S___! ..................

I have ankylosing Spondylitis.

Your last sentence says it all.. Try to use SBAR or what ever works for you. I work in a unit, 2:2. We have these same nurses on each shift. Telling the nurse to look up results, that they have all night would be inappropriate. I'm guessing they have...

we use "blue" disposable chux

woooo, R.N.'s only..

95% of the nurses in my unit would be gone...

Gum helps with some of the smells in the unit
