    Monday February 20th 2023 Presidents Day

    Tweety replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Daily Diary's Entries

    Good morning! Was too tired to post after work yesterday. I made some "Just Egg" for dinner and fell asleep reading. Work wasn't too horribly grueling this weekend just busy as always. Both...

    Nurses Living with the Guilt of Providing Mediocre Care

    Tweety replied to Amy Wagoner's topic in General Nursing

    I have a coworker like that. She's never clocked out late. Ever. I asked her about it and she just said "I'm very organized". I wonder how that's possible to never get behind not even one day and...

    Are ALL Nurses Trauma Informed? Take the Survey

    Tweety replied to Vickye Hayter's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of "trauma informed care"...sounds like something a PhD would know but not the average floor nurse in the trenches or maybe I'm just out of touch. I started the survey but ran...

    Nurses Living with the Guilt of Providing Mediocre Care

    Tweety replied to Amy Wagoner's topic in General Nursing

    "Dissatisfaction" is a good word. Last Wednesday I started with a 6:1 ratio. Throughout the day I discharged 4 of them and got 2 post op admissions. I had two cups of coffee on the run, worked...

    Nurses Living with the Guilt of Providing Mediocre Care

    Tweety replied to Amy Wagoner's topic in General Nursing

    I work with the idea that I'm going to give 100% effort to my job and do the best that I can do. Different days that's different because sometimes I'm tired, distracted with personal problems, and...

    The Movie and TV Thread

    Tweety replied to Tweety's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Finally saw Top Gun: Maverick, one of the last in the world to do so given its 1.4 billion dollar take at the box office. It was okay. Glad to see it in the Best Picture category but not even in...

    Good morning! Joe, hope you have a decent day that you like the new pyschologist. Off today. Supposed to get up to the upper 70's. Washing sheets day and that's happening. Just a routine...

    G'day. I had nothing good to say about yesterday so I just didn't say anything. My house is a warm 79 degrees after working today and I've got the air conditioner going to cool it off a...

    The phrase "it's a dog eat dog world" is an expression I've most often heard in the corporate world, meaning you have to step over the competition for your success. But the "nurses eat their...

    Another unpopular opinion. "Nurses Eat Their Young" is a vile phrase that should be retired. But someone's going to chime in with their personal experience about nurses eat their young....

    How much sexism is there in nursing?

    Tweety replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I know the type you're referring to. I work with a lot of interns and residents and I think that type is being weeded out. The new generation of doctors have graduated with about a 50/50 split male...

    How much sexism is there in nursing?

    Tweety replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I take care of gyn post op patients as part of our general surgery population and we have Gyn residents on staff, and from what I see the new generation of gyn doctors are better. The fact that the...

    Tweety replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a bit more complex than that. You need classroom instruction and you need hands on instruction as well. I suppose where the issue is who does the hands on instruction. Even 30 years ago...

    What is your attendance policy?

    Tweety replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work yes. I think where I work you're allow six occurrences in the prior 12 months. So for example if you called in sick 12.5 months ago it gets dropped because they only go back the prior...

    Good morning! Happy Valentines Day. A day I ignore. Joe, hope you feel more on point today. J22, same to you. We sometimes have off days. I'm usually triggered by something and have...

    Fair enough, I'm sure there are countless stories like this one. I certainly understand that as a preceptor I do need to keep a watchful eye out. Just because in my 30 years of precepting I've...

    Thanks. I did say "more often" than students, as I understand there are no absolutes. The Vanderbilt case was an outlier and really not an every day experience. But certainly not unheard of and we...

    Again, I can only speak to my experience. Students aren't given an assignment and are never unsupervised and know what they can and can not do. They work with an RN with the RN's assignment....

    The Movie and TV Thread

    Tweety replied to Tweety's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Netflix movie "All Quiet on the Western Front" is a brutal movie to watch. Nominated for numerous Academy and BAFTA Awards, including Best Picture it's very well done, well acted and clearly shows...

    I usually don't care about celebrity culture but "Pamela, a Love Story" got such good reviews, I decided to watch it. I like how she doesn't play victim but lets us know how she felt about events she...

    How much sexism is there in nursing?

    Tweety replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I recently took a continuing ED on medical errors that had a grim stat that 10 to 20% of cancers are misdiagnosed. I'm not saying sexism didn't play into your experience but it's a

    Good morning! Hi Joe, have a good day. Hope it's not too crazy. After using my air conditioner briefly last week the heat came on but it should be in the mid-60's later. Nice and sunny...
