Holiday fun
I don't know, the only "fun" that is truly enjoyed by all is a "fun" day of proper staffing. Try that, I'm betting you'll be successful then..

The Grinch of allnurses.com
I like Christmas. Decorations at home in the house, the barn , etc. Holiday baking and other foods. Outside trees and buildings decorated with the old-fashioned big lights that you can't buy anymore. Red and green saddle blankets when riding. Even house cats climbing in the tree. Lots of snow...feeding the birds (homemade suet cakes) and other wildlife. I watch allll the old shows I grew up with every year without fail...Family get together...big meals. Yep, love it...

Boomerang Coworkers
I've never been a boomerang employee, however I've had three boomerang bosses. Two in manufacturing, one in nursing. Both the bosses who returned to the plant were highly respected and much-liked before they left. They remain the same today we'll after they've returned. The nursing boss was a pig before she left, and was no better well after she returned....

Haha your question is sooooo funny (nnnott). Hehehe..."noncostly"...haha It's clear from the way you ask the question, not that you have no clue, but that you absolutely do know, what more than likely needs to be addressed is the staffing levels...you just don't want to pay for it. And by the way, pizza really is a great accompaniment to writing a resignation letter. That would be my bet... For the money it's probably gonna cost in retraining, falls, med errors, call-outs, backbiting, bullying, survey dings and fines, sentinal events and other assorted negatives, hire a few and keep the levels a bit more realistic. Clean up the pigsty with more adequate staffing. It's really the only way morale is likely to improve, You can't hide from it or gloss it over...- coworkers calling me stupid to and in front of patients
Thank you Davey Do.. I guess I didn't elaborate....is the tone I've used in the past that has worked and caused the offending pigs to take pause and stop their juvenile behavior. Not weepy whiny "why are you picking on meee?", but kind of a cross between an sarcastic although almost incredulously stated "why ya saying **** like this?, what's your reason?, you feeling okay? ya got somethin goin on?" Hold the stare... Knock the pig back verbally, those kind have always caved when I've had to teach them how to treat me or someone else they may have decided to target.- coworkers calling me stupid to and in front of patients
Ask them why they do it- Are you a "Sister?"
I've never heard the terms 'sister' or 'brother' used at all in the healthcare field. However in the unionized manufacturing plants, it is used all the time..- 'My Patient died' Facebook post
Another Fakebook dumbas...- I just need to vent
The little pig needs the smackdown laid on to her. She will get worse. Knock her attitude down before that happens. Everyone one in that facility needs to act, and be held accountable in a professional manner. No room for grade school behavior.- Hot Cheetos are a public health menace
Jax taste better than Cheetos....just sayin's all- Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

Haha I'm laughing here... That's some mighty thin skin right there..- Called off too many times?
I'm thinking he was informed of the upcoming weekend party on Thursday, Just surmisin's all....- What do you hate about nursing and why?
The only thing I truly hated about nursing is the accepted and ingrained practice of understaffing. It truly is where all the other problems in the field stem from...- Exclusion List
[quote=Kitty300;990637 Not to be ran further down into the ground because I don't tell my story. I ain't seein' it... This is something that happened 5 years ago that I paid alot of money to get resolved.. I don't know, but anytime I've had to lay out some hard cash, I always made sure I knew what it was actually for.. Plus kept any pertainant records.. Just sayin's all....- Unethical behavior on my first day of floor orientation
Don't tell us all this....tell her.- Medicaid fraud
Did the actual Attorney General really show up at your house? Hmmmmm...? Did you get his official ID?- Everything Sucks: Red Flags?
Oh I don't know, but I'm just thinking that if this little piggy op went more than one week without getting paid on the proper day (and still works there), than maybe it's this little piggy op who in fact has the attention span of a squirrel... Carry on all y'all..- "I am not a robot!"
- New Grad dilemma: WWYD?
Are you even *in* the hospital yet? Just sayin's all...- My narc drawer runneth over
Umm .... No.... Lay the smackdown on them.. Write up a statement saying you will not accepted this b-l-a-t-e-n-t mess of an inconvenient time suck/med error/incident just-salivating-waiting-to-happen scenario under *any circumstances for *one *more *shift. Depending on your work and financial circumstances, I would not even come to work until this is rectified. Inform the state. Tell the family that their loved-ones meds are on the other cart and give them the offending pig's contact information. Refuse responsibilities for narcs that are not on your cart. Document make copies and hand to your hr, union and inform your malpractice people. Get ready for something bad to happen, because it will. Good luck..- My DoN is a terrifying nepotistic bully.
