  2. MD can't walk across the room to get a chart

    SFCardiacRN replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    Just walk away. You have plenty to do and sometimes the best responce is no responce. If the MD complains say "Oh, was she talking to

  3. Hey, is this legal????

    SFCardiacRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Not legal. The DON has no right to sell drugs or force someone else to buy

  4. My Immediate Supervisor wants me gone!

    SFCardiacRN replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    Ignore it or move on. You are on the right track in getting a license. Not everyone can manage people and this RN sounds like a poor manager. And you will run into more like

  5. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    SFCardiacRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Blaming the workers for the problems of administration is anti-union rhetoric. Bad mouthing unions while enjoying the benefits of union employment is bad faith argument. If someone thinks 20 patients...

  6. What is a union????

    SFCardiacRN replied to cvwshadow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    One crappy union doesn't make them all bad. CNA is a good nurses union. SEIU is a crappy one. Which union you are represented by is important in job selection. I think what has happened to UAL workers...

  7. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    SFCardiacRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Tell that to the non-union auto-workers and mine workers that make a bundle less than their union counterparts. Tell that to non-union nurses that can be fired on a whim (plenty of posts on

  8. What is a union????

    SFCardiacRN replied to cvwshadow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How much do you pay for milk or electricity? About the same that I do! Believe me I don't mind paying a few pennies more for gas or a couple hundred more in taxes to be able to make over 100k per...

  9. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    SFCardiacRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    SEIU is a poor union choice for nurses. It's ties to management are way too close! If given the choice, CNA is better and is dedicated to nurses. SEIU is mostly non-nurses. Buyer

  11. What is a union????

    SFCardiacRN replied to cvwshadow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Anyone reading the posts of nurses employed in "right to work" states should be able to see the value of unions. And I'm not talking about unions secretly run by management. I find it bizarre that so...

  13. Recovery after mitral valve replacement

    SFCardiacRN replied to MedicalZebra's topic in Cardiac

    I'm sorry for your loss. Patients with renal insufficiancy are at higher risk in cardiac surgery. It becomes very tricky to control pulmonary edema and BP when the kidneys don't work. I'm betting the...

  16. "Natural Cures"

    SFCardiacRN replied to seeking33's topic in General Nursing

    Herbs can be dangerous because the potency of the active ingredient cannot be assured. Depending on time of year herbs are harvested, growing conditions and the like, you will find great swings in...

    Trudeau's book doesn't even make for good toilet

  18. Dangerous coworker and unresponsive management

    SFCardiacRN replied to nellwolfe's topic in General Nursing

    You are better off not working there. However, until you are in management, you can only be responsible for your own practice. This current shortage has allowed some really horrible nurses to remain...

  19. Case study: what went wrong?

    SFCardiacRN replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Informed consent is in the realm of medicine...not nursing. Her primary care MD needs to be informed that she has questions about her diagnosis and

  22. A Dangerous Scam!!

    SFCardiacRN replied to gwenith's topic in General Nursing

    My son had an allergic reaction to pertussis vaccine and cannot take it. To me, I think it is even more important for the children around him to have it to reduce his chances of contracting

  23. California Nurse Tax

    SFCardiacRN replied to NurseKevin's topic in General Nursing

    I love living in CA and make good money but sometimes I think we should change the name to Taxifornia. Ca even taxes your retirement no matter what state you move to after

  25. new grad starting in critical care

    SFCardiacRN replied to watsondr's topic in General Nursing

    They are called "New Grad Programs" not "I'm a burned out med/surg nurse looking for a way out program". My unit (OR) recently hired 4 RN's. 2 new grads & 2 med/surg. The new grads are doing very...
