  1. nurses who are bad patients

    NursesRmofun replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nah...not better than yours', but

  2. nurses who are bad patients

    NursesRmofun replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To me, a good patient asks for what she/he needs, asks questions, follows most or all of the treatment plan, understands delays sometimes happen, understands that the doctor may not do exactly what it...

  3. What's Rude?

    NursesRmofun replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For some reason, I love this thread. haha What is rude? Rude is not doing your job and acting like I am the idiot when I try to get you to DO your job. I know sitting on your butt and playing on your...

  4. nurses who are bad patients

    NursesRmofun replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So dang true!! I have also seen it both ways....a nurse is usually your best patient or one of your most demanding. As a patient, I was the first...best patient. When I have had the later, I have...

  5. Just Say No to Lateral Violence in the Workplace!

    NursesRmofun replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    I am an older nurse/COB. I don't really believe there are large numbers of NETY out there. Maybe some here and there. As a COB that did not get into management or higher levels, I recognize and...

  6. What's Your Sign Baby?

    NursesRmofun replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    It was long ago. His "punishment" didn't last too long, and while it did, I always got someone else to help. It was not a situation where the CNA did everything. The CNA was assigned as "help" between...

  7. What's Your Sign Baby?

    NursesRmofun replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    I don't "like" this but liked because I do identify with

  8. What's Your Sign Baby?

    NursesRmofun replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    It was long ago. I didn't want to go over my manager's head at the time. He was a nice guy and she wanted to "overlook" his digression, I think. What she actually said was, 'Heck, someone could accuse...

  9. What's Your Sign Baby?

    NursesRmofun replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of a sore subject because I hate this kind of thing. It is so disrespectful. I once had a co-worker who flirted with me in a not mild but moderate sort of way, mostly just smiles and eye contact...

  10. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    NursesRmofun replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    True. It could have been from a viral illness. I was just relaying that it happened....and the co-worker made no connection, that I know of, to the flu shot. Whatever she thought the reason for the...

  11. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    NursesRmofun replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    IMO (without it having happened to me or anyone I know very well) - No, because you wouldn't be able to prove you got it from the flu shot, so they wouldn't cover you. I knew a young woman who had a...

  12. Which AN Poster Has the Job that You Think Is Most Interesting?

    NursesRmofun replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I think the NP jobs are interesting, but I wouldn't want to be one at this time of my life. I find it especially interesting to hear from a NP that worked as a RN for some time. Would like to hear...

  13. Male nursing student and female patient

    NursesRmofun replied to StudentNurseM1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have not been present when my male counterparts inserted foleys or did any like exam. I am not sure if they ask for a chaperon or not. Most likely, they would get a co-worker to do it off the bat....

  14. One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

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

    The nurses that speak other languages in the place I work rarely speak that other language at work. When they do, it seems like a social conversation among friends. I have not personally been bothered...

  15. Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    NursesRmofun replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify, I was not saying my instructor in the RN program was a NETY! I was saying that she was a hurdle and, yes, maybe a bully. I was using this as an example of some people going through a...

  16. Let's Make a Deal for Nurses

    NursesRmofun replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Back during 8 hr shift positions (long ago), I'd do a double to get another day

  17. Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    NursesRmofun replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    You are right! There are different versions of respect and different takes on it. I view respect in the sense of not getting any because of NETY to be/mean that the person is disrespected or "not...

  18. Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    NursesRmofun replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    Although we can find some humor in it, I think the constructive part is that "respect is earned is" stupid. We have the term in bold letters somewhere on our unit. No....everyone deserves some respect...

    NursesRmofun replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my. Travelers sure do earn their money some places, don't they. Not sure it would make you feel any better, but our float nurses go through the same thing at my place of employment...except not...

  21. What Kind of Threads Do You ENJOY Reading?

    NursesRmofun replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I also like case studies, comedy/humor, and co-worker/boss relationships and trouble

  22. Recycled topics (vent)

    NursesRmofun replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

  23. What do other hospitals do regard to scheduling staff for weekends?

    NursesRmofun replied to Metalchild's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work currently, you start working every other weekend as the normal. After a person has been there at least what seems like a couple years, they may request to do a weekday set schedule....

    NursesRmofun replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse you are relieving is furiously trying to "finish" some things. There were several admits at change of shift with lots of stuff undone as of report time. Patient has H&H teetering on...

    These made me laugh a little....so
