Me and my coworkers polled our spouses (male and female). Consensus being, this guy and his wife have major problems. My husband reacted much like zee said of her husband. Then he added for humor,...
lol, jt..i was referring to the letter the ANA sent to leno, not to you. As for the other, i guess in your defensiveness, you missed that i was being sarcastic...oh
You're right, jt. They ARE ALREADY representing me, so why should I pay money for something I'm already benefiting from? I'm afraid your sarcasm and defensive attitude is hurting efforts to promote...
YOU ARE SO CORRECT!! I just this week had this discussion with a patient. We're caring for someone that is already nauseated and then some nurses wear enough cologne to choke a dead man. I do not...

Talk about a nursing shortage??!!!! I can see us trying to encourage the kids into nursing and saying, "..but look Johnny, you get to wear this bright, crisp, STANDARDIZED, white uniform with the...
SuzyK, My respect for you has grown greatly since the "rn vs lpn" thread . You really hit the nail on the head with your above post. Keep on typin' girl. Though I'm a little intimidated by your...
oops..I reread the original post and Peggy didn't say she had all this to do in 2 hours, she actually had 12 hours to do this. The 2 hr was in reference to passing the meds which is a very reasonable...

You're not asking for much, eh? LOL All of this info should be found in a Fundamentals textbook. It's not much different overall from peds to adult. The info you're requesting isn't complicated, but...
thank God for your reply, mustangsheba. I too found this a bit excessive. I wondered if I just had it alot easier than I thought. As for the reference to Ativan not being a narcotic. It IS a...
Hey guys! Great idea. I'm just a simple ole' pediatric RN. Been doin' this same job for six years, ever since I graduated. Ya couldn't pull me away from this job with a 4 wheel drive. Ain't got...
Let me start by saying "thanks" to you guys for defending me in my absence..lol..as bad as nursing is, the only time I have time to read through here and reply is while I'm at work I am very proud...
My dream job? In my dream job, I'd have the honor of being respected by my clients, parents would trust me with their child's life. In my dream job, I'd play with kids, I'd be blessed with the smile...
I'd be willing to bet this is the antic of a pathetic boss. Any worthwhile boss would have never handled the situation the way yours did. I had a boss that used incidences like the one you described...
babynurse, One of the many blessings of being a pediatric nurse is that we rarely lose a patient in a code. However, you are probably working NICU, and I work on the floor-I imagine your loss rate is...
Rita, My mom and sister are Dental Hygenist, and yes, the pay and scheduling is wonderful compared to nursing. But, my mom just retired after 25yrs as a hygenist, and were it not for her planning...

Kim, I'll take a chance with your email add and assume you're in Alabama. If I'm correct, then call the CHECK center at Children's Hospital and they'll give you more information than you want The #...
Lora, I will attempt not to assume, as perhaps you did, that I know the situation in YOUR country, BUT it'd be wise to know the circumstances prior to verbalizing your opinion (this skill will also be...
We've been on 12's for a couple years now and our schedule seems to be becoming more and more pathetic. We have 11 staff members and wish to work with 5's or 4's on weekdays and 4's on weekends. Two...
We are allowed drinks at the nurses station, and we eat "snacks" at the station. But meals are not allowed. During JCAHO, nothing is allowed at the desk. I guess these other places figure if they...
