    Leaving!!!

    MassED replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    sure, that's a nice gesture. Wouldn't be a bad idea, in case you need that job back one day. I just heard (get this) of ORIENTEES, after orientation is done, to give their preceptors GIFT CARDS - and...

    MassED replied to CareteamRN70's topic in General Nursing

    MassED replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    I don't know about that.... more likely, perhaps management won't get their bonus, but our bonuses (if we get one this year) is varied and depends on participation in committees, mostly, not if you...

    Thought I'd see if anyone else has heard this... I haven't researched this yet, but just had an attending state to a first year resident... on a pending admitted CHF'er... "remember to order aspirin...

    Feeling Burned Out & Unappreciated!- What else is new?

    MassED replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I simply cannot believe having that many patients assigned to you, unless they were all fast track acuity 4 or 5. Seriously. What kind of patients are these and WHY are you accepting care for these...

    Your ER policy on giving rides home

    MassED replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    while I can understand that YOU are different from 99% of the other patients (which I did already state in my previous post), you are not how most people present. Your situation and what you have to...

    MassED replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    aaah, if someone told me that with age and experience come maturity, I would have been so offended... in hindsight, it's so true. Life is so much easier when you don't create problems that aren't...

    MassED replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    it all sounds like judgments are being made based on "looks, appearances, glances, etc" - perhaps you are the one with the judgment? It all sounds trivial to me. Who really cares if someone that has...

    Your ER policy on giving rides home

    MassED replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    while I would never judge a person who has true pain and has TRIED other measures and then comes in for unrelenting pain and needing further interventions. What irks me is the other 99% of those...

    Your ER policy on giving rides home

    MassED replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    MassED replied to luvinRN's topic in General Nursing
