  1. Attention all COBs

    NursesRmofun replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nurses Rock

    Being crusty isn't always pretty or easy (salute) COB

  2. Some days.......

    NursesRmofun replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    True. I have also been taken back by blunt-simple responses sometimes, mostly because I am use to rephrasing my thoughts put into words at work so not to hurt patient's/families' feelings and not have...

  3. Has pain scale contributed to opiate problem?

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, Toradol is not always the answer, but you are right...I see a lot more of it being

  4. I'm quitting today! Finally had enough!

    NursesRmofun replied to SoontoBNP's topic in General Nursing

    It didn't take me long to answer that question in my own head...Yes, we probably do take too much and endure it and that's why things don't get better. Plus, there is always a new nurse somewhere that...

  5. Has pain scale contributed to opiate problem?

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    "She" didn't put anyone in their place though. Just because there is a thing called addiction and a thing called habituation, doesn't mean the pain scale works any better!

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  8. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    NursesRmofun replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm having a hard time believing anyone with very little experience makes $37-$42 an hr without being an agency/traveler. P.S. I have had jobs where it was a grounds for dismissal as

  9. Confessions of a Hospital Administrator: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    NursesRmofun replied to ServantLeader's topic in General Nursing

    It is expected in a lot of places. Also- to get off the clock before you finish charting. So many do it. I have been rebelling.

  10. How do you not feel like an imposter?

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

    Well, sometimes the assignments are not of equal acuity. Some facilities do assignments taking acuity into account and some do not. When I see a co-worker having an easy time of it, I usually am quite...

  11. Confessions of a Hospital Administrator: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    NursesRmofun replied to ServantLeader's topic in General Nursing

    I ditto the thought that better staffing would solve a lot of problems. Not all, but a lot. As someone else said in a different way, you can't focus on your most important work while handing out the...

    NursesRmofun replied to YesYesRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There was a time that I went through hell at a job. It was complicated with many factors working against me during orientation. Some were related to me, some were misfortune, and some were just...

  16. Question about Cussing on the job.

    NursesRmofun replied to Roda dendron's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have worked at a couple of these "places". When I have, it was because I needed a job. I didn't stay long. They are terrible but they are not rare at all. :/ About the "cussing"....I agree with...

  17. Question about Cussing on the job.

    NursesRmofun replied to Roda dendron's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am highly professional at all times because it is what I need to be to go ahead with my life. At my job, I could get "angry" every 10 mins....but it doesn't benefit me to lose it. Always think about...

  18. Phenergan dilution

    NursesRmofun replied to EDnatasha's topic in Emergency

    A usual dose of Phenergan would not be given in 1L. How would you even know how fast to run it?...and for many people that may be too much fluid. The Docs I work with would have a field day if you...

    NursesRmofun replied to hopefullblue's topic in General Nursing

    -First off, I would love to hear about what your average day is like. And if you have a specialty, what are the pros and cons of your specialty? I work on a regular unit in the hospital. It is not a...

  21. Is this common?

    NursesRmofun replied to pepino23's topic in General Nursing

    Without reading any other answers, I would say it is less common than hospital units that have to start their own IVs and do their own discharges. That's my educated guess. Adding: You may have...

  22. How do you deal with a toxic workplace?

    NursesRmofun replied to LPN9200's topic in General Nursing

    It really can be difficult to find a good work environment, though some are worse than others. If you find one that is "okay", that may be the best you get. Good luck with your next

  23. It Ain't Like The Movies!

    NursesRmofun replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

    I never thought about it, but it's true!

  24. ADVICE: Director of nursing DRAMA:/ unfair treatment? or Do I need to toughen up?

    NursesRmofun replied to lmjsierra's topic in Home Health

    I don't think it may even be a matter of not liking you but of having someone willing to take what is given, so she took advantage...probably not personal...as you said, she doesn't really know you....

  25. If you could speak your mind...

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

    My theory on this is that they don't care who is her nurse....they want action and they want it NOW!
