  1. anyone have a board complaint

    BeenThere2012 replied to kuippo's topic in General Nursing

    You may very well have worked with nurses who have had this experience. Most would not want to talk about it. I am not familiar with AZ BON, but I’ve had this experience in CA. I ended up taking a...

  3. New GraduateWith 3 Incident Reports

    BeenThere2012 replied to Taito29's topic in General Nursing

    THIS is one of the things that stresses me out with being a nurse these days... Lack of needed support, especially for new nurses. I agree with what all have said so far. You are not a “bad...

  4. New peds CVICU nurse... so overwhelmed

    BeenThere2012 replied to stacylethani's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Hang in there...ask for a talk with your manager and preceptor. It’s perfectly natural to feel overwhelmed at this point as there is so much to learn. However, having the right match in a preceptor...

  5. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    BeenThere2012 replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent response! Obviously, since you teach this topic you have given much thought on this as have I over many years of practice. I have never considered NOT providing care to a patient, but I...

    BeenThere2012 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

  7. Nurse in Germany Convicted of Killing Patients

    BeenThere2012 replied to jeastridge's topic in Nursing News

    Also then...Let’s do whatever we can to SUPPORT the whistleblowers! If it wasn’t so difficult to do the reporting and the consequences so punitive, possibly more would be less hesitant to speak

  8. Broaden Your Horizons - from Heartburn to Hemorrhoids! Life as an Endoscopy RN

    BeenThere2012 replied to camelbakhi's topic in Gastroenterology

    Other than many places requiring the BSN in principle, now that you have worked there for some time, do you see a true need for the BSN in this specialty as opposed to say a large degree of nursing...

  9. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    BeenThere2012 replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

  10. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    BeenThere2012 replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    BeenThere2012 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  14. Nurses March into Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Health Commission Meeting

    BeenThere2012 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Obviously, these nurses are suffering the same as most others these days with being forced to do more with less. This is an excellent hospital with a great reputation for many specialties including...

  18. Is it like this everywhere now?

    BeenThere2012 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes...One place I worked had us do the same! Ridiculous! Also, same place had us check all the food trays to make sure the kitchen did them correctly for the ordered diets. Is there and end to what...

  19. Is it like this everywhere now?

    BeenThere2012 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Actually...I meant to say by protecting yourself first ...Care for the patient as you should as opposed to satisfying the management with checking boxes

  20. Is it like this everywhere now?

    BeenThere2012 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, in answer to the original question. It is like this everywhere. Well, everywhere a nurse will work that is owned/operated by a corporation or county or state. I know there are some unusual...

  23. Who designs the layouts of these hospitals anyway??!!

    BeenThere2012 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you, but then who approves the final designs because if you read these comments it’s clear that what is needed does not not get put into

  24. Who designs the layouts of these hospitals anyway??!!

    BeenThere2012 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing...simple, lightweight work carts that can be wheeled around a poorly designed room can solve a lot of problems. Inexpensive and can be used for any number of tasks. Have I ever been...
