Thank you, Adelle! This is a definate keeper, and I will be forwarding this one on!! Sounds like my place! Another ~Sue~

I forgot to add that the dpartment I will be transfering to...Cath Lab, has not the problems that other unit departments are facing. There is no staff shortage, Nursing is 1:1, and I get a lunch everyday...OFF the floor! I'll have to suffer through a little added dose of "Testosterone in the air", but, I think I can handle it! Now, to get me through the next 28 days in the ER!!

We call it "Self Containment" at our Hospital. Our ED will be the first department to implement it. Also, because we are an "at will" employee, if you don't like it....don't let the door hit you in the @*#!! I was lucky enough to transfer out of the department, prior to the start date of this containment issue. I will be leaving the end of the month. Thankfully, too. The rest of the nurses in ER have been told, that all transfers must be given to the Medical Dictator...I mean Director. Hidden meaning = no one will be allowed to transfer. I feel I got out, just as the ship was sinking. Mandatory Overtime, self-containment, and 5minutes of shoving a doughnut down your throat equals a lunch?? I think not!!
