  2. What if nursing doesn't work?

    NursesRmofun replied to snow22's topic in General Nursing

    *Bedside nursing is a tough career. I hear about people going into teaching and getting their MSN and Doctorates to teach or do research...but I wouldn't be happy doing that. I'd rather be...

  6. RN impaired at work

    NursesRmofun replied to Momma1RN's topic in General Nursing

    I will just answer as if this is all true and accurate.... I'd say she may just be acting strangely but not intoxicated. No real proof as to if she was. At least you reported it, and they did "assess"...

  7. When celebs stop by to say hi

    NursesRmofun replied to adventure_rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Open mouth, insert foot

    NursesRmofun replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    I have had to work on it over the years because I have not stayed at the same job thru my career. Being the new person at times, I have to stifle it...COB or not.

  11. How do you get over feeling like you'll pass out

    NursesRmofun replied to RNtobe17's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen many nasty things and never felt like I was going to pass out. Part of my brain tells me it is surreal....and I don't have it register on that level, if that makes any sense! I know it's...

    NursesRmofun replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to delawaremalenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is from last year. Hmm. Well, I'll put my two cents in. LOL I think it is a well-intentioned post, but I, too, do not like the idea of clumping all clinicians together as the same in their...

  16. I'm the worst CNA they ever had

    NursesRmofun replied to jarae's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, you did better than I would have done 6 days out of 7 of the week! lol I would have been smart alecy a lot sooner OR just said out loud- "Are you serious?" In any case, I think homecare is a...

  17. Associates or Bachelors??

    NursesRmofun replied to Xar25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am currently working in a hospital that does not require BSN for all positions but strongly prefers it and they encourage a nurse to go back to school to get it. Not a bad thing. However, I AM an...

  18. Com'on, you got one...What is your heart wrenching moment?

    NursesRmofun replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, OCNRN63...she was an Oncology pt....and also Ovarian Cancer dx, as I recall. Adding-- I do actually remember being taught there is a dynamic where a terminally ill patient and their spouse...

  19. Com'on, you got one...What is your heart wrenching moment?

    NursesRmofun replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When you find out how not to react much to being berated, let me know! I don't think I'd handle it well...but maybe...maybe...just maybe I could hold it together. It depends on how harsh the provider...

    NursesRmofun replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed!!!

  23. What is the motivation for bullying?

    NursesRmofun replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why, but I know it happens. I do think it has something to do with being self-loathing (on the part of the bully) and this behavior somehow makes them feel better...although I have no...

  24. I need a change

    NursesRmofun replied to amzyRN's topic in General Nursing

    The ER does tend to be an environment where you can save more lives...and there is some excitement. However, it is crazy busy too...*unless you work in an ER in a small town. Maybe then it might be...

    NursesRmofun replied to remotefuse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Understandably, you probably raised your voice and pointed...and that is what she probably is reprimanding you on. As a human being, I can understand why you did that! I think it could have been...
