Took a position as an ADM position of a clinical practice. I thought it would be interesting to start a thread on what "not" to do as an administrative individual. There are some obvious things that I can think of, but I am sure there are some experi...

The title kind of explains my anxiety at this time. New Nurse Manager. I manage a small staff in an office setting. I am so thrilled to have this job, and I have been such a hard working, task and critical thinking individual for so long, that the sw...

I see. So by verbalizing the events that are witnessed and confirmed, I am whining? I'm glad for you and your love of double standards...not. I thought I was desiring to affect change. I haven't lied about any of what I have posted. Who are you to ac...

I agree. I hate the idea of being a prude, but SHE holds the cards. It IS harassment, and you being male puts you at a disadvantage if you reciprocate on her level...they will side with the female, as messed up as that is. You need a trust worthy wit...

I have been offered every position I have applied for. I've done so with an ear ring if I was wearing one, fairly long, neT beard when I was wearing one...I interview well and I am a damn good catch. Sure, we are all given to our prejudices, but a so...

Nice replies, keep em coming!

I left my ER of 3 plus years for another adventure. I won't dredge up a bunch of dirt, and I had other reasons for moving on other than some of the "issues." SITUATION: there is a very troubling issue IMO going on in my former ER. While working there...

I think that ER I just left is really kind of a mess...

You are correct, and I left that job for several reasons. I shouldn't assume it is wide spread, you are correct. As far as strength, either gender doesn't have an advantage if the lifting isn't ergonomic...in ER there is no time for proper lifting. S...

I appreciate your post. However, I do have an opinion, and it is only an opinion. I believe that females are so accustomed to not having male caregivers, that they are using it to their advantage. While I understand differences between the sexes and ...

Here's a post that should be fun and helpful. I am a new Nurse Manager, and I am wondering what items make your office a fun, organized, efficient work space. RNator

Respectfully, I don't think obese people should get any preferential treatment, period. If they do, then let's pay for the addicts prevention plan as well. This includes smokers, drinkers etc. the inconsistency has to stop.

I've always said "it should be a requirement to be a CNA for X amount of time before being a Nurse." This way, the lazy, averse to getting dirty, would be weeded out. This would make the herd stronger [emoji4].

I think I stated myself clearly, but if not, here goes. I am a nurse, always wanted to be. But first I fell in love with music...right from the womb you might say. I could not live without music. Music, listening or performing is the ONLY thing that ...

I absolutely agree! Has to be top priority...

And, tired Doctors can just get over it. They chose their vocation, not me. Nurses get tired too.

Pretty much.

I'm with ya. What was the admitting Dx? Lots of great advice on this one. But myself, I'm wondering the same, why am I waking this person? I'm guessing it's protocol, or admission orders.

I have to agree with you. Crime rates influencing exercise? It's more like, TV influencing paranoia. True the creepers are out there, like they've always been, but sensationalism is to blame when a guy is scared to chat with the neighborhood children...

Yes I do, but cover band stuff. It's fun, but not the same as pursuing a more creative life. I actually envy some local musicians that I know, who live a very meager existence, but live music, and live very simply. I've been caught up in the whole tr...

Seems like much allowance and sympathy for obese people here, but cigarette smokers are still the scapegoat for society... oh the irony. Obese people should be beaten upon just like smokers, alcoholics, drug addicts. Or perhaps, no one should be beat...

Elsa, Whether it's nursing or anything other than your art, don't do it until you've given your art a100% attempt. Success means different things to different people. Maybe just being able to live off of your art is enough...i know it would have bee...

I'll 2nd that!

Good point!! Sometimes a nurse is cast into the role of preceptor and perhaps shouldn't be. Management needs to own their program 100%.

I've been an ER RN 3+ years, 1+ year med/surg prior to that, ASN degree. Starting an RN SUPV/ADM position in 1 week. Hard to believe I have been promoted so quickly, but I have been tenacious in learning and work ethic, and have received excellence a...
