  1. Can you believe this commercial?

    banditrn replied to one2one's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, no kidding - but the one that I absolutely hate the worst is the one for that non-prescription male enhancement stuff - "Smillin' Bob", or whatever his name is! That guy gives me the

  2. Undermining Authority

    banditrn replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    Is the physician aware that the charge nurse was playing

  3. I'm not "WIPING BUTTS"

    banditrn replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Over the years I've been peed on, thrown up on, etc. so many times - nothing bothers me any more - that type of nurse would absolutely drive me

  4. Can you believe this commercial?

    banditrn replied to one2one's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's the same one I saw where she was talking about it being a little 'pink' around the edges! Good grief - use soap and water! Some of the doc's at the hospital where I used to work...

  5. Men In Aged Care

    banditrn replied to Young Woman's topic in General Nursing

    I've observed compassionate caring males, as well as females in geriatric care. I've also observed uncaring females, as well as males in geriatric care. I don't think it has anything to do with the...

  6. Should I Have Stepped In??

    banditrn replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Jill, shame on you - you're talking about a nursing student with no experience, and you're expecting her to run into a situation that she had no experience with, was not equipid for - and IF SHE...

  7. Scheduled to Work the Floor as a CNA

    banditrn replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Cotjockey - I don't even think it's material whether you think you're too good to be a CNA or not! You went to school - got the training to be a nurse - THAT'S what's material. That said, I help my...

  8. lost panties

    banditrn replied to nrsbetrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    :lol2: I would reimburse her ONCE! Then tell her that either she spends less or that's it!! Is the resident up and about? How do you know she's not ditching them

  9. Allegations against RN-what would you do?

    banditrn replied to kasi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree, Ingelein - what a bunch of crap it can be sometimes. BTW - I highly agree with CRNI-ICU20! Don't let them treat you like a doormat! At the hospital where I worked for so many years, I was...

  10. On the other side of the bed pan.....

    banditrn replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Capecod - most of the time when I've been in the hospital, it was the hospital where I worked - so I was afforded somewhat of a 'celebrity' status. I remember one evening, my family was there, and...

  11. Offended by pt- how to react?

    banditrn replied to LDJRN's topic in General Nursing

    Patients make remarks like this because they believe that nurses - white or black - are a captive audience and must put up with it. I found nothing complimentary in his remarks, rather they sounds...

  12. As nurses, Do We "OverHelp?" Can we Change?

    banditrn replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have to admit that I'm guilty of it - I don't know if it comes from so many years in ICU - but I can't stop myself from wanting to hold their glass as they drink, pull their covers up, etc....

  13. Is their really a nursing shortage?

    banditrn replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Linda - I agree! There is also a push at some places to get the older, higher paid nurses OUT by whatever means. Which also takes a lot of experience and knowledge with

  14. Get to Work On Time.

    banditrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm really getting crabby about this issue. I work part-time now in LTC, and out of the last 7 shifts I've worked (I work nites) my replacement has been on time twice! Again this morning one of the...

  16. Get to Work On Time.

    banditrn replied to banditrn's topic in General Nursing

    Sue - a 'sowstorm'?!!! Good grief that sounds

  17. Don't just get to work on time....

    banditrn replied to clee1's topic in General Nursing

    Clee - good for you for telling them off! I always felt that if your shift started at, say 7, for instance, that doesn't mean you walk in the door at 7. You be there, READY TO WORK at 7. If it...

  18. Would you recommend nursing to your daughter?

    banditrn replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

    No, I would not - not with the direction it's going! One son became an RN and worked in critical care for several years - he got out of it and is working toward being a tool & die maker. I...

  19. Get to Work On Time.

    banditrn replied to banditrn's topic in General Nursing

    After about the fourth time in a row that these people were grossly late - I called the ADON - the DON has been off somewhere - and expressed my extreme displeasure - she started to make excuses for...

  20. Help, My peer is using same med cups all week!

    banditrn replied to bughouser's topic in General Nursing

    Is he re-using the paper or the plastic ones? I guess it doesn't make any difference either way - it's a little weird, I guess - is this in

  21. Pick up Malpractice! They went after my license.

    banditrn replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sue - did you sue the folks that fired you?! Man, I'm tired of sneaking dishonest people like that! I'm glad everything worked out for you,

  22. Does anyone really enjoy LTC?

    banditrn replied to ihollie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, there are aspects of LTC that I enjoy - and parts that I don't - just like the hospital. I agree with the others - a GOOD facility is a must! Who would know? The people that currently work...

  23. Resigned Nurse Manager position today...

    banditrn replied to MrsStraty's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Mrs. - good luck to you!! Will the DON & ADON have to actually get out of their offices now? I decided to add a note - I came to my present facility because they had a good rep, and I hated the...

  25. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    banditrn replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing
