  3. 3 Consecutive 12 Hour Shifts

    FroggysMom replied to loconno2's topic in General Nursing

    FroggysMom replied to childrensrn's topic in Nurse Management

  7. Are 12 hr shifts long and drawn out?

    FroggysMom replied to FirstYear2005's topic in General Nursing

    I WANT 12 hour shifts! Our facility offers them but only on a very limited basis. Never boring, always more than enough to do for the whole 12 hours (and sometimes more). If I ever find a facility...

    FroggysMom replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh yeah, like the patient I had the other day who called wanting his water moved on his bedside table = about 2 or 3 inches! (Guess he didn't like it in the spot it was sitting in). There was no...

  12. Has A Surgeon Ever Thrown An Instrument At You?

    FroggysMom replied to TravelerAdvisor's topic in Operating Room

    Don't work in the OR, but your friend did the right thing. NO ONE has the right to throw anything at you, much less cause you injury. The doc deserved to be

  16. America's view of the nursing profession

    FroggysMom replied to elatty's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I agree with you Marie...respect should go both ways. But in keeping with the thread, my personal experience of being a nurse has been, overall, quite positive. Yes, there are people...

    FroggysMom replied to elatty's topic in General Nursing

    Hey hey...watch it. Assaults and preconceived notions can occur anywhere. My husband is a hard working BLUE COLLAR man and has been for all his working life - over 40 years now. We live in a trailer...

    FroggysMom replied to raindrop's topic in First Year After Licensure

    FroggysMom replied to Nathalie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
