  1. Possible attendance write-up

    NursesRmofun replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to say, I hate systems that have these corrective actions. I know that it is not good for the facility/hospital/institution to have lots of call offs, but sometimes people have a bad...

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

    NursesRmofun replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I have one of those (butt ins) where I work now. She advises me in front of patients, family, any one who will listen. She has "issues". I usually give a short retort as to, "I know" or "I did it that...

  3. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    NursesRmofun replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Excellent post! I have been sickened lately by all the paperwork/checks for that shiney magnet status--- and they don't care how it gets done (except don't get OT doing it) but they need it to get...

  4. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    NursesRmofun replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    I also thought the title was misleading for the "grab"...but - anyway- I am not going to get my BSN or MSN. I am just too long at the fair for it...personally....can't wait to retire...even if that is...

  5. Short staffing incentive ideas???

    NursesRmofun replied to kms6417's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't read responses yet, so sorry if these are duplicate suggestions. 1) When a staff member is resigning, ask them to go prn/per diem instead. 2) Incorporate comp time to be taken when they want...

  6. Ever Feel Inadequate?

    NursesRmofun replied to NotYourMamasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think of myself as a sort of superwoman for getting 90% of what I wanted to get done, actually done. ha. The assignments are, on average, too much of a load....and the employers KNOW it...which is...

  7. I have no words. I have a thousand words.

    NursesRmofun replied to anon456's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Great accounting of your day. Reminds me of some I have had, although not exactly this kind of unit...but Oncology units. You had a good day....but exhausting, like most nursing

  8. What Nurses really Want to Say When They Chart

    NursesRmofun replied to SICUshortCait's topic in General Nursing

    "Medication given per order." ---- Though they would have liked it a lot more often. "Patient missing from room for 2 hrs. Patient stated he went to get...." -- I was aware he was gone and Lord...

  9. Sleep Rooms

    NursesRmofun replied to AlleycatLady's topic in General Nursing

    I use to (many moons ago) work in a place where all of the staff took turns for an approx 30-45 min break in a recliner in an empty break room that basically just had that recliner in it. I NEVER was...

  10. The Elusive Vein

    NursesRmofun replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I was given a valuable tip by IV Nurses I worked with...you ground the vein...actually hold it with one hand/finger so it doesn't move as much. It helps a lot of times....though some veins are just...

  11. Favorite sayings

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Nursing Humor

    Good one...never heard it before!

  12. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    NursesRmofun replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    The farther I am removed from the nursing school years, the less painful it is...but I do remember it being a hell hole overall. LOL Sacrifice my life....no. However, nurses are great.

  13. Am I supposed to hate my first nursing job??

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

    I think it is natural to be nervous and/or unsure at first- the first year or longer....and your unit is a tough one, so especially so. I sort of liked my first job...but it was tough. In your case,...

  14. Are You Where You Thought You'd Be?

    NursesRmofun replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Nursing

    When I started out, I was not sure "where" I wanted to be. I burned out of a couple different positions, never was interested in management, and sort of tried different things. No place seemed like...

  15. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    NursesRmofun replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nurse with a lot of experience. I went through a period (because of the State I worked in) where LVN/LPNs did less as far as skills. I have since worked in states where LVN/LPNs are allowed to...

  16. What was your first Nursing job?

    NursesRmofun replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    A hospital unit as a LVN/LPN for years. Worked hard and loved it, even though it was not easy and very stressful. You learn a LOT in a hospital. Pros- learning. Cons- stress and workload. I am once...

  17. What do you hate most about your job?

    NursesRmofun replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    Easily the same old story- uneven assignments that don't remotely take acuity into consideration. More the opposite. Assignments are made by a regular floor nurse- almost always to her/his benefit...

  18. Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    NursesRmofun replied to missind33's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had one that was a new nurse, but around the 1 yr experience mark. along with her education, she thought she was a true "know it all" and absolutely hated anything left

  19. Nurse Ratchett gets vulnerable!

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Maybe she is Nurse Ratchet. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt.

  20. Why do nurses treat each other badly?

    NursesRmofun replied to linlinlpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just my opinion, but I think there are "nasty" nurses at many places of employment, and it's something a person has to get use to. The only thing that seems like it might be less stressful in that...

  21. Nurse Ratchett gets vulnerable!

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she is very serious. Maybe she is having problems with her eyesight and work and possible mistakes scare her. Maybe she is sleep deprived. Several things run through my head. None of...

  22. Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    NursesRmofun replied to missind33's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not to be argumentative, but if the tasks only take 5 mins (I would say they take a little longer all and all), why is it a big deal that they were passed on? Just making that point. I agree that NGT...

  23. Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    NursesRmofun replied to missind33's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly. I have this happen a lot. The shift before me has commented about the other shift (my shift), in general, that they have to "clean up" after us...but they never seem to think how much we go...

  24. Nursing Home as First Job

    NursesRmofun replied to khaleesi123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So, this would be your first job. NH can be a nurse's first job. It is very different from hospital nursing. Did you do a clinical rotation in a NH/SNF? It is often a difficult environment from the...

  25. no reply from nurse manager

    NursesRmofun replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I did not read any other responses yet, but my reply is: I hope you did not move to that state before applying for the job assuming you'd get it! Were there jobs open on the unit? Sometimes it...
