    BeenThere2012 replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    Agree! Why have someone drive you home? Doesn't make sense. I know it is hard to afford a lawyer, but way less costly down the road. Do you have union representative? Call both

    BeenThere2012 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand your predicament, but don't see how working per diem helps anything. You still want the experience and knowledge. Maybe though, it would be best to start over at a different...

    BeenThere2012 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with all you said. Just something to add for others less experienced in the professional world... The problem for this person is that she is now being treated poorly by her co-workers that...

    BeenThere2012 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unfortunately, discussing these topics is best left outside of work. It is never considered a good idea to discuss salary with co-workers. This is a shame though, because fair pay is fair pay. One...

  11. What do you think? My mother is told she is a drug addict by her primary care physician

    BeenThere2012 replied to lhome's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Need more pain specialists who know what they are doing and have good alternative measures for pain control as well. You have to be careful here...I've experienced one who was closer to a...

    Love the Fisher-Price reference! LOL! They do look like Fisher-Price toys...the bright yellow ones that come with the isolation carts? And you must have some good ears....I can hear some things...

  16. Anyone catch HIV from patients as a Nurse or Nursing student? My biggest fear!

    BeenThere2012 replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you are truly interested in being a nurse, this would actually be the least of what you should be concerned about. There is always the possibility of "unforeseen" exposures. I know the thought of...

    BeenThere2012 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    Agree. Everything BUT the comments on personal style. I understand "appropriate" dress. However, it shouldn't matter r/t what is important here. By the way, cartoon scrubs are used in Pediatrics...

    BeenThere2012 replied to Mhsrnbsn's topic in General Nursing

    I think in general, you can only answer the questions truthfully, but do not offer information unless it is pertinent to the question. In your previous post when you said there was no where to chart...
