  1. Violence in Nursing

    Roz, RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We have no security where I work. As far as calling police, sure, we can call. We get told they're at "the north end of the county". I called about an issue in mid-June. Still waiting on them! I'm...

  2. When You Receive a Warning at Work

    Roz, RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    My employer refused to identify my accuser because of the hospital's "confidentiality" policy. They wouldn't tell me how they conducted their "investigation" either. I was interested because none of...

  3. When You Receive a Warning at Work

    Roz, RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a situation where someone had outpatient labwork done. One of the clinic nurses came to me (in the ER) and told me the patient needed to be seen. I explained that, since the PCP knew what the...

  4. "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

    Roz, RN replied to EAGirl's topic in General Nursing

  8. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    Roz, RN replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    I understand exactly what you are saying. Years ago, we would have "VIP" patients. Those who donated lots of money to the hospital, physicians and their families, top administrative people. I didn't...

  9. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Roz, RN replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I'm not questioning your intelligence, experience, or anything else, but it sounds to me like you have an issue with organ donation. I've been an RN for a long time. I've had experience with organ...

  10. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    Roz, RN replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you are hoping for a job in Critical Care, OR, or ER, you might have to be patient. Most facilities still require 2 years of Med-Surg experience. Go ahead and get the 2 years done. You will...
