    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    NurseSpeedy replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She sure did. Took some convincing it was just some squirrels on the power lines or something again. Have to be careful what children see on TV. It used to be that they couldn’t rationalize facts...

    Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    NurseSpeedy replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Heck, I got the vaccine as soon as I could so that I wouldn’t be the one killing everyone and so that I would not end up dead. I thought a lot of others would be the same. Crazy that a vaccine and a...

    Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    NurseSpeedy replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Did you just TRY to bully me?

    NurseSpeedy replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    Going maskless on Fridays???? Um, we either need the mask or we don’t. The day of the week shouldn’t have a damn thing to do with it. And that confrontation was so not called for on many...

    How Technology Can Solve the Nurse Staffing Shortage

    NurseSpeedy replied to IntelyCare's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn’t have said it better. Work conditions need to be better to keep trained nurses at the bedside. No one enjoys waking up everyday to go into a shift that lasts forever and is a complete crap...

    Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    NurseSpeedy replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Scabies, lice, or bed bug patients. They make me itch, I get paranoid about bringing it home, and I go ocd about cleaning everything right when I get home finished with and extremely long shower....

    New RN Age

    NurseSpeedy replied to Kooper48's topic in General Nursing

    Why am I asked to fix things that are NOT my job?

    NurseSpeedy replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in General Nursing

    I’ll admit I’ve tended to the clogged toilet. Selfish on my part though, I was trying to avoid a real s**t show in the event they continued to try using it prior to it getting serviced. Occasional...

    Bad Clinical Experience Today

    NurseSpeedy replied to j0622's topic in General Students

    This is so true. Try having a nurse that works with IV drug users on a daily basis. They can get the hard sticks because they’re used to having crappy veins that the doc would never allow a central...

    Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

    NurseSpeedy replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, you know that’s why the windows in the hospitals don’t open up. It’s not a patient safety thing-it’s a staff retention (at least until the end of the ***) plan. Stops us from using the...

    How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    NurseSpeedy replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to happen a lot when the staff doesn’t really understand your job and that although you are at a desk-you have a lot of desk work to do. Sometimes it can feel like you need to chain...
