    Condescension from Critical Care Nurses Towards Med-Surg Nurses

    Wuzzie replied to SkittlesMcRainbowbutt's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We’ve had the same problem with our rapid response nurses with behaviors that are entirely unacceptable. From snarky asides to downright questioning are competency in front of the patients and the...

    Yeah, the initial override was never an issue for me. It’s a necessary evil. But anytime I override you can be darn sure I double and triple check things. Unfortunately there were several more...

    Wuzzie replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Sounds to me like the Tennessee BON got caught with their pants down and now are scrambling to do what they should have done in the first place. I hope they pull her license. As much as I don’t wish...

    MSN but offered the salary of ADN

    Wuzzie replied to peaceluvandnursing's topic in Nursing Career

    But the job you're doing is the same. Why is that unfair? What does your MSN bring to the table that is a plus for the employer? That's what they care about. "More education" is a nebulous concept...

    We just had a patient who wore saggy boxer briefs AS pants. ? His constant sexual innuendo laden dialogue, stinky feet and resemblance to Jabba the Hutt completed the package. He was also going...

    Does your pt/pts family love you like “family?”

    Wuzzie replied to dholly2015's topic in Private Duty

    This is why we have professional boundaries. Now you know. Frankly, I would ask to be moved to another case. This has the potential of going south rather quickly. All it would take is an anonymous...

    FNP in Hospital Setting

    No idea. Did this great hospital job come with a residency or at least an extended orientation so you can learn the critical care medicine you didn't learn in your FNP program? What are your other...

    Do you scrub the hub of a PICC between each medication?

    Do you scrub the hub of a PICC between each medication?

    Wuzzie replied to Kara Hoffman's topic in General Nursing

    Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    Wuzzie replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Accepted and thank you for clarifying. As you know it is a touchy subject. Nobody, regardless of their educational pathway, wants to see a new grad crash and burn (unless they are just a nasty human...

    Hands on Training in school?

    Wuzzie replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in General Nursing

    Naaaaah. Not crazy, just a little unfortunate to have such a limited clinical foundation. I hope those kind of programs are few and far between but you seem to have done okay!
