    Wuzzie replied to Newnurse555's topic in General Nursing

    I had the very same thought. I have sooo many "smart phrases" and "smart lists" I use every single day. It massively improves my

    CNA Frustrated with Being the Blame

    Agree. While malicious compliance sometimes is the right, albeit passive-aggressive, way to handle a situation, this ain't

    Manager Set Up A Meeting With Union Rep

    Wuzzie replied to PsychNurse6083's topic in General Nursing

    I still think your manager called the union rep to protect you because she recognized BS when she sees it. She's obligated to investigate or at least go through the

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are two camps on this. 1. There were too many alerts 2. There weren't enough alerts I happen to disagree with

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The article has so many factual errors in it I wonder where the reporter got her information. Maybe in Costa Rica?

    Manager Set Up A Meeting With Union Rep

    Wuzzie replied to PsychNurse6083's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like the fact your manager arranged for your union rep to be there (which is highly unusual) may indicate that the problem is with another person not you although if that's the case your rep...

    Wuzzie replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say I disagree with you on this point but I still won't blame the nurses. Sure there are bad apples out there but the vast majority of us want to provide quality care which is near impossible...

    Crusty Old Bats

    Wuzzie replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    What happened is hospitals changed to a business model and are now driven by profit over providing care. Administration gets bonuses based on how much money they save and the first cut they always...

    Twelve Hour Nights or M-F

    Wuzzie replied to Lynn1230's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked every shift and hour combo possible since becoming a nurse so my perspective is broad although my situation may not align with yours. My current job is M-F 0730-1600. No weekends, no...

    Finally, someone is discussing this openly

    Wuzzie replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been saying this for years. The nursing shortage is a myth propagated by hospitals to absolve them from any responsibility for the poor care they are providing. The only thing we're running short...

    New Grad - Pregnant New Job

    Wuzzie replied to NurseDD27's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent point and to take it even further, depending on the employer, the OP may not qualify for the facility's short term disability yet. So even if they give her maternity leave it could very...

    New Grad - Pregnant New Job

    Wuzzie replied to NurseDD27's topic in General Nursing

    She knew during the interview. I absolutely 100 percent disagree with lying about that fact. The ramifications of lying could cost her the job. I don't believe her manager can even legally ask if she...

    Antibiotics and Cultures

    Wuzzie replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Totally agree but I've found that with some of them the way it's worded can make a difference especially if they don't know you well. For example in the same situation I would have worded it "Hi Dr....

    Can new grad work two residency programs?

    Wuzzie replied to Shorty's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    It's not even that. She can't be in 2 places at once and they aren't going to flex their program schedules to accommodate her. Even if she could, taking a spot away from another new grad isn't
