  1. Something that has been eating away at me

    NursesRmofun replied to Mu0r's topic in General Nursing

    You'll never know for sure. Don't beat yourself up too

  2. Patients & Pet Peeves

    NursesRmofun replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    The patient or patient and family who view every encounter with a nurse or any medical person as a chance at a

  3. Psst....Let's Talk About Gossip in the Nurses' Station

    NursesRmofun replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    My workplace is full of gossip. A couple of culprits are experts at it....and leave almost no one untouched by it. That said, I am usually one of the ones talked about behind my back the most due to...

  4. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun posted a topic in General Nursing

    One hospital in my area has no limitations on their visiting hours on Med/Surg units. Does anyone have any idea how this works out? When do the majority of people visit, on average? Do many stay into...

  5. Bullied by a colleague

    NursesRmofun replied to enc123's topic in General Nursing

    Have seen it happen and it has also happened to me, but never have I seen it happen to someone who was often charge nurse. If you are going to be a NP at the same place of work, I'd do some...

  6. Social Class and Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine a lot of people aren't paid well in Mexico. I don't agree that nurses are manual workers alone, etc. And, of course, we are knowledge based. We get tested on our knowledge for our licenses....

  7. Social Class and Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    True! Good point...but I did say the two together...the profession with the education. I don't think of a Chef being blue collar either. I wish there were a clearer definition. I'll have to do more...

  8. Social Class and Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    No. I don't think you can say nursing is blue collar. If a surgeon digs in blood and guts, does that make him blue collar? I think the "profession" and education make it something other than blue...

  9. Social Class and Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say you are doing well, wherever you

  10. Social Class and Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    I have never gotten that idea from anyone. Odd. I usually get the "admiration for nurses" dialogue -OR- the "I've had a bad experience with nurses" kind of thing, to a lesser degree....but never a...

  11. Social Class and Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up lower class (seasonal blue collar Dad), pulled myself up to lower middle class and middle class, but incurred a lot of debt, so not sure where that leaves me

  12. Have been told LPN BAD idea

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

    Plenty of hospitals still use LPN/LVNS

  13. "Your job is to make me happy"

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse216's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This older thread popped up...but it reminded me of something I wanted to vent.....A question I have been getting a LOT lately--- How many patients do you have? The patient is trying to gauge what...

  14. Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

    NursesRmofun replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    They are all stressful in some way. I have done almost all of them. No kidding. Well, okay, I missed a few I just thought of. It is subjective. Where you fit best has something to do with your own...

  15. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    NursesRmofun replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I didn't say anything (write anything), but I was thinking this too. My crockpot would scorch and maybe burn anything in that time. I'd worry about a fire. There is only so much fluid you can put...

  16. Don't be catty (literally)

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    A new take on NETY! LOL Oh boy....well, I don't really believe in NETY and have rarely seen it toward new grads. I have seen nurses who are older and/or more experienced (there is a difference!) kind...

  17. What do you call the tracking device nurses sometimes wear?

    NursesRmofun replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    When I use to work in a place that had them, it was just called a laser badge. That was a long time ago...and it wasn't working well. Correction, the ones we have now do track us too...but aren't...

  18. Calling report to the floor.

    NursesRmofun replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it sounds to me like your patient would be my transfer at my job. Not an admission. So, we are cool.

  19. Nursing Anxiety

    NursesRmofun replied to Seve's topic in General Nursing

    I have found in the last *decades that there is no perfect nursing job for me. They are all difficult in some way....and yes, I do prefer the 12 hr shifts. You can get away from the job for a few...

  20. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    NursesRmofun replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    These answers are so familiar...except the darning of socks. lol I eat breakfast, shower, crash and burn, and then wake and eat frozen pizza (after it is cooked, of course) and shower again (12 hr...

  21. Hard Truth of Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a Magnet Hospital....and, I realize that Magnet is - well-- meaningless, in the scheme of things. I once worked at a great Magnet Hospital and thought Magnet was great...but, more recently,...

  22. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    NursesRmofun replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I want to be independently wealthy and live on the beach.... I'm not going "back to school" for anything *much (except maybe a short program)...so maybe something simple like a lab tech....some...

  23. Hard Truth of Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your choice. You must believe there is something else you can and will do. I never went into nursing for respect. I went into nursing to help people and to earn my living. I have a...

  24. Lpn since 2014 But have not worked

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

    Sometimes getting hired is just "timing". New grads come out in May and June in most cities. I would say now and in the near future might be a good time to re-apply. I am not sure, but I think a lot...

  25. Bad management

    NursesRmofun replied to Jen4nursing's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Tried to quote a part of AutumnApple, BSN's post but failed... This!! There are many problems in LTC that are a huge challenge. Dealing with these issues is not for the kind of person that takes it...
