    Is this interview process unprofessional?

    Wuzzie replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Career

    Every peer interview I've been to has been just that...an interview. They are trying to see if you will fit the unit not if the unit will fit you. The phone thing, well now that was

    Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    Wuzzie replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Apology accepted and no an employee would only be removed from the schedule for the time determined by their physician. What was you manager's explanation for the schedule

    Hey now. I was willing to help but I can't if it's hard to follow and I won't be the only one who feels that way. No need to get

    If this is you that you are talking about would you mind re-writing it without the third-person effect and just tell us what happened? I'm having a difficult time understanding what you are

    Brain sheet for ED?

    Wuzzie replied to SR8811's topic in Emergency

    Beware the paper towel. I can’t tell you how many times a well-meaning co-worker “helped” me by cleaning up and throwing away all of my documentation. I learned the tape trick during my first...

    Brain sheet for ED?

    Yeah, I never used a brain sheet in the ED unless you count a strip of 2" tape on my leg with things written on it as a brain

    Nurse Extern to Experienced Nurses: How Do You Deal with Making Mistakes?

    Wuzzie replied to RNurse2019's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Your days of making stupid mistakes will never be over. What changes is how you deal with and feel about them. 31 years in and I still make them occasionally but if they're really stupid pretty much...

    Cleaning patients after bowel movements.

    Wuzzie replied to Kidsrablast's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody ridiculed you over your English. Some of your sentences were difficult to understand which led some to believe that English was not your first language in which case you'd get a pass. Also the...

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Wuzzie replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You might have asked a question but you worded it as an accusation especially by lumping me in with someone who has not actually graduated yet. I don't recall calling you out specifically for anything...

    Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    Wuzzie replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    But I wasn't asking what you thought of the events that occurred at Mt. Carmel. I was speaking to your hard stance that as a nurse we are to follow orders, even those we question because it is our job...

    You can't just make up statistics to support your claim and I'm not sure what you are implying. I have seen people run out on a rail at the whim of a new manager who simply did not like them. I have...

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Wuzzie replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This is patently untrue and is one of the fallacies anti-union people frequently use. A union employee that needs to be fired can be fired as long as the proper paperwork is filed. The reason they...
