  2. Pet Peeves with Doctors

    NursesRmofun replied to BeenThere2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  3. I know this gets posted often...

    NursesRmofun replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure either. You didn't say exactly how many interviews you had. Maybe two? Three? I would say it wouldn't be too out there to not get hired during 2-3 interviews, if there is tough...

  4. If you could speak your mind...

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

    I was doing something for the patient - won't say what as to not give myself away- and the patient's *sweet* family member fired me. I was like, "Thanks, you *sweet* man! I didn't want to do it...

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

    I can relate!! Sometimes it is that way...idol hands and all. Too much time to think, plot, etc. I had it really good several years back working on a very quiet unit. Looking back, I am not sure at...

    NursesRmofun replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

  8. What is with this angry nurse?

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

    I know!! I have deduced that different nurses seem to put more of an emphasis on certain things as being important in report. My NM said hx is something you can look up and, therefore, not important...

  10. Nursing Niceness

    NursesRmofun replied to xdrowe's topic in General Nursing

    I may be the odd woman out or not but I don't think these records should be related to entering nursing or staying in nursing because, it seems, a person can be falsely accused of many things and have...

    NursesRmofun replied to haron54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't you "LOVE" the ones that quiz you!? Like they know so much better....ACK *vomited a little*

  14. How do you handle co-workers who are extremely dramatic and are easily stressed?

    NursesRmofun replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's an interesting topic. I have had impossible shifts - shifts when you couldn't have enough hands or help to get everything done and safely...and people have looked at me running around like I was...

  15. break? what's a break?

    NursesRmofun replied to jhuff9292's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I get lunch about half the time these days. The other nurse(s) would cover me for a short break IF it was not a a busy night..but most are busy nights to the point of most not getting the 30 min...

    NursesRmofun replied to nikkole318's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Everyone's experience is different, or at least a little different. I have to deal with the Press Ganey scores thing. That means, basically...the institution I work for and the patients think I have...

    NursesRmofun replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

  21. Use of cellphones while at work

    NursesRmofun replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I wish this was more well enforced! I hate to see nurses using their cell phones (and some of them "a lot")! Mostly, it is NOT for emergency communication, which is used as the excuse. It...

  22. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    NursesRmofun replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing
