  1. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    guest52816 posted a topic in Nursing News

    I came across this news item in two different media outlets, and pulled this blurb from the NY Post. If you go to their Web Site, you can see the offending nurses doing the things mentioned in the...

  2. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    I haven't asked this before, but do you attend a for-profit nursing

  3. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    Whoa! You need to request a face-to-fact meeting with the DON. This situation is not just unacceptable, it is also unprofessional. It is not fostering a productive learning environment. You need to...

  4. Demoted from ICU to IMCU

    guest52816 replied to TiffanyB1313's topic in General Nursing

    I completely disagree with this post. Of course the OP knows she doesn't know everything. Believe me, when I was a new grad working in the CVICU, I was WELL aware of what I didn't know. Why do you...

  5. Demoted from ICU to IMCU

    guest52816 replied to TiffanyB1313's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree that all commenters missed the point. In my response, I pointed out that the OP was merely a cog in the wheel. Another poster, recalled his experience as a new nurse and told of how he was...

  6. Demoted from ICU to IMCU

    guest52816 replied to TiffanyB1313's topic in General Nursing

    Jealous of anything that human beings can be jealous of! I obviously don't know the OPs unit or anybody she works with, but I do know human

  7. Demoted from ICU to IMCU

    guest52816 replied to TiffanyB1313's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the poster who stated that jealousy can't be ruled out. Are nurses some subset of super human beings? No, they are not. Which means they suffer from the same insecurities as the general...

  8. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    Let's hope that the DON does the right thing and boots her butt OUT. If they allow her to remain in the program, she will most likely be placed on probation. And ANY infraction will send her out of...

  9. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    If she says something to you, I would be honest and say something to the effect of: I did what I needed to do in order to maintain a proper learning environment. If she continues to harass, you let...

  10. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    guest52816 replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, a liter fluid restriction does suck. But so does fluid overload when you have CHF. Personally, I would like to see more physicians fire patients who are non-compliant. For example, patients who...

  11. New nurse who feels like a failure

    guest52816 replied to Nrscaroline's topic in General Nursing

    As others have stated, I am sorry this happening to you. And I agree with the opinions expressed by many previous posters. I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus that is telling you NOT to take...

  12. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    When you submit your letter to the instructor regarding the offending student's behavior, be sure to forward a copy to the chair of the nursing department. That way, you are creating a paper trail,...

  13. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    There is no just ignoring this student. The problem is obviously way past that point. Being told as students, to sort it out yourselves, is your school's way of trying to avoid any heavy lifting. Too...

  14. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    If she is making fun of others answers in class, how is it that the instructors have done nothing about the problem? I don't understand that. It is an instructor's job to maintain a proper learning...

  15. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    guest52816 replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Did the doctor give the patient coffee AFTER she had written the discharge order? I guess I thought that was how it happened, but maybe not. If it happened that way, I took it as the MD's way of...

  16. How do you deal with the conflict in nursing school?

    guest52816 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Students

    What I find troubling, OP, is the fact that this student was previously dismissed from the nursing program for inappropriate behavior, yet your nursing school saw fit to let her come back. Huh? You...

  17. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    guest52816 replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Sure you could have handled the situation better. But honestly, I think you did a pretty good job! As several other posters stated, I would have given the guy the coffee after educating him as to why...

  18. I hate my first job

    guest52816 replied to jkel0912's topic in First Year After Licensure

    While I have no advise for you regarding how to handle this situation, I am encouraging you to think about moving to an area of the country that is looking for hospital nurses. I live in central...

  19. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    guest52816 replied to guest52816's topic in Nursing News

    Thanks for doing that. I asked if anybody knew how to change the name of the post. I couldn't find a way to do so

  20. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    guest52816 replied to guest52816's topic in Nursing News

    So is the term Corpsman, or military medical personnel jargon for CNA? I read a Washington Post article this morning that clearly pointed out that these two AREN'T nurses, but what the hell are they?...

  21. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    guest52816 replied to guest52816's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, it shouldn't be assumed that everyone who works in healthcare is a "nurse." But these two were involved in direct patient care, and clearly had access to the nursery. The facility issued a...

  22. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    guest52816 replied to guest52816's topic in Nursing News

    If they aren't indeed nurses, why is the term being used at all? Even in quotation marks, if it isn't accurate to label them as nurses, then they need to be labeled at whatever position they hold,...

  23. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    guest52816 replied to guest52816's topic in Nursing News

    I have no idea. Is it not possible to be a Navy Corpsman AND a nurse? I hope somebody on this Site can answer the

  24. patient abuse in psychiatric nursing

    guest52816 replied to julesjameson3333's topic in General Nursing

    It might depend on your definition of abuse. For instance, I worked for a UHS-owned behavioral health facility and yes, I think patient abuse was committed there, if you consider medicating...

  25. New Grad RN waiting for job offer

    guest52816 replied to Katya944's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the silence of the hiring manager as a cue that you most likely didn't get the job. The above poster gave very good advice. Start applying for other jobs within the facility. Don't put...
