    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Well considering I've been extremely successful in it for 35 years your assessment of my ability is laughable. There is empathy and then there is getting involved in something you are not...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree with you if his co-worker had not been so grossly inappropriate in dumping her personal problems on a random co-worker in an elevator no less. I wouldn't have wanted to take that on...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I'm siding with the OP on this one (sorry MacAwake I usually agree with you). The fact that he's a guy alone in an elevator with a woman complicates things further. This could have gone sideways...

    Thoughts On Eliminating Nurse Report

    Wuzzie replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    The snark was the line I quoted in a previous post. Additionally you say you have respect for your ED colleagues but then go on a tirade about how crappy they are. Not particularly respectful as I see...

    Thoughts On Eliminating Nurse Report

    Wuzzie replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not going to respond with all the things the ED Staff need to handle I’m just going to repeat that your snark does NOTHING to help the situation or improve the relationship between the ED and...

    Thoughts On Eliminating Nurse Report

    Wuzzie replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    This kind of passive-aggressive snark is why we can’t have a polite discussion about this and maybe come up with a workable solution. If you truly think nurses in different units need to work...

    Is it rude to leave work after Maternity Leave?

    Wuzzie replied to FutRNRock's topic in General Nursing

    While I don’t disagree at all that the OP’s baby must come first there is no possible way to not burn bridges by doing this. On maternity leave after only 7 months on the job and not going back is...

    Burnt out from working night shift

    Wuzzie replied to CVICURN2021's topic in General Nursing

    So, just to be clear. Your manager screwed you over and your response is to consider screwing over your co-workers? While I get how much night shift sucks I'm pretty sure that's not the way to...

    Opinions on Employee of the Month

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't so much this as it is when they turn into popularity contests which does happen. I don't think any of my co-workers begrudge legit

    PICC Line Dressing change

    Wuzzie replied to iowa27's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the dressings have an extremely sticky pad of CHG gel in the middle which is why I asked. At any rate loosen the dressing all around and then I usually stabilize the catheter at the insertion...

    Port a cath question

    Wuzzie replied to PelicanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Many of our patients are taught how to access and de-access their own or their ports. They also are taught how to change CVC dressings and flush their lines. Your responsibility would come in...

    Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I would just like to not be billed as part of the room. I am not a couch. It dehumanizes us.

    Opinions on Employee of the Month

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like them. It always ends up being a big popularity contest. I am a senior nurse and a leader on my unit. I feel like I have the respect of my co-workers and what I say is meaningful to them....

    Hole In My Glove!

    Wuzzie replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    When I went to nursing school and for some years after the rule was “gloves are for the doctors”. Washcloth “mitts” were a thing.

    I’m sorry but this is beyond stupid. Directly caring for patient…sure but we have to wear them when we’re walking patients to the check out area!! The irony is the person who squawks at us about...
