   Medical Emergencies in Public

   Wuzzie replied to nurse4321's topic in General Nursing

   I'm going to agree with my colleagues Akula and Mike. Although I work in a cushy clinic job as retirement nears, I am a senior National Ski Patroller, EMT-P and worked decades in CCT, Flight and ED....

   New Graduate Nurse Looking for Advice

   Wuzzie replied to newnursegirl's topic in General Nursing

   The tele position will get you a strong foot in the door for the ED as well as the hospital. HH is not a great place for new grads and rehab, while a terrific specialty, will not have the same...

   Wuzzie replied to AngelRay's topic in General Nursing

   So let me get this straight...you had 6 weeks to orient to 3 disparate, complicated specialties, were given vague explanations of your "deficiencies", were not offered any assistance/education to...

   To Nurses Who Bully: A Message That Needs to Be Heard

   Wuzzie replied to stop77777's topic in General Nursing

   The problem I have with the phrase "nurses eat their young" is that workplace bullying is not unique to nursing nor is it perpetrated only by senior nurses. I agree with Tweety that the statement...

   To Nurses Who Bully: A Message That Needs to Be Heard

   Wuzzie replied to stop77777's topic in General Nursing

   This 100%. "Some humans eat other humans" is much more accurate but just as vile of a concept. I wish people would stop propagating the wildly inaccurate idea that only older nurses are running...

   Threatened with being fired for calling off for bowel prep

   Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   Politely demand this in writing. This will call her bluff without risking your employment. If what she is stating is against written policy she will not want you to have proof of it and will back...

    Wuzzie replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    I am seriously shocked and massively impressed that these physicians have gone to this length to support Lucy and are working so hard to right what I have come to believe is an egregious

    Legality of nurse responsibilities

    Wuzzie replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    I get what you're saying and I did not mean to imply a lack of critical thinking or inability to adjust care to a situation, but care by protocol is, by nature, "cookbookish". FTR: I was on an...

    Legality of nurse responsibilities

    Wuzzie replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I appreciated your sage advice to for them to remain quiet and let the chips fall where they may. I've learned if you point out the issues prior to implementation when those issues arise,...

    Not disagreeing and given the ridiculous plan this place has come up with so far they can't be trusted to make any good decisions. However, this is very much the reason the role of the NP came up in...

    Legality of nurse responsibilities

    Wuzzie replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yes and no. I think it's more nuanced than that. Having spent a substantial amount of time doing that particular type of nursing I feel like I have the street cred to chime in. While, it's...

    Calling in for no sleep

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    It was actually a shift I worked (well 5pm-3:30am). It was staffed that way because the bulk of ED patients are seen in those hours. It wasn't really as bad as you seem to think and I'm a single...
