  1. Accusations are demoralizing :-(

    It has been my experience that when supervisors have this attitude it is because they want to continue to blame the nurse/staff because that way they do not have to take responsibility and change the...
  2. Empathy and Adaptation

    I believe that life experience has much to do with how we see the world around us and react to any types of issues including our jobs and careers. When we encounter personal trauma we react by...
  3. Employer "lied" about pay rate

    Do you have any paperwork from who ever told you that, or did you ask your manager about it. If your manager is denying it and you don't have it in writing there is probably not much you can do. I...
  4. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    I'm guessing you don't see the irony in your
  5. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    I don't see Republican leaders or Fox news running around calling half of America (ie Democrats) racist, white supremacists, saying that they need de programming, saying that they should be...
  6. Drive Right On By

    I actually did this a few times, subconscious or maybe not enough coffee, IDK Congrats on the new position, I hope you will be much happier. Last hospital I worked at one of my coworkers did...
  7. Stroke Exchange

    Thank you for such an insightful post, it was very engaging. I hope you have a great day
  8. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    I thought you were referring to the migrant caravans that are on the way from south America, but still not sure that is such a good idea either! So, even if it is a good "political" move for Biden how...
  9. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    You can agree or disagree with either Trumps or Bidens immigration policies but neither change the fact that Obama/Biden built and used the cages first. Re: Bidens "unity" message:...
  10. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    Great political move? How so? Do you really think this is a good time to bring more people to the country right now with covid and all its repercussions that are not settled. The hospitals are...
  11. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    Pointing out that the Biden's are corrupt! Why did Hunter have a job in Ukraine paying him $50,000 per month with zero experience and why did Joe brag about withholding US money to Ukraine until...
  12. Increase in hr/$pay for Bilingual

    One place I worked did pay an hourly differential for nurses capable of being translators, a test was necessary first but if it is your native language and you are a nurse than you probably would pass...
  13. Superstitious Nurses

    Or, the bananas were really good
  14. Order transcription

    So, going forward I would definitely have a chat (diplomatly of course) with the manager about this so it doesnt happen again. She should have already been able to forsee the problems that could...
  15. Meeting With HR, Manager, Union Rep

    It seems a little strange to me that someone called your union rep, is this policy where you work. I had a union but admin/HR never did this. Either way, I agree that you should talk to the rep prior...
  16. Nurses' Fears

    When I was working as a nurse my biggest fear was doing actual harm to someone. I don't think I could have lived with that (very easily) if I did. Secondary was fear of losing the license because it...
  17. Order transcription

    I am not sure I understand but I think what you are saying is that you hand wrote a page in the MAR, signed off on the MD order, and then someone else tore out the (paper) page and replaced it with a...
  18. Sounds like you did it right to me! Maybe next time the MD will answer the page in a timely
  19. That First Domino

    Act-shoo-lee (did I do that right?) the first domino was probably when I was a candy striper, add to that the child birth experience, and then when my mom had leukemia, all those together were what...
  20. New Grad Needs Advice - Hostile Work Environment

    I am sorry that you find yourself in such a horrible situation. I have also been in a similar situation and eventually won them over by showing them that I am not that nurse who thinks they are...
  21. That First Domino

    I am retired and it is going well, ty. You should definitely pursue the art. I have mostly oil painted, took lessons 2 different times and started and stopped painting a few times. I only painted for...
  22. Superstitious Nurses

    I have always found the burn barrel to be the best at getting rid of the bad mojo. Sounds like a familiar situation but in my case add a big barrel of cheetos and the pt coming in on...
  23. That First Domino

    SMB, I am sorry you didn't have to chance to pursue your art dreams. Maybe you can pursue that when you retire, or before! I had an experience with childbirth that also ignited the nursing...
  24. That First Domino

    Yes, I saw that quote in a prior post and I agree. You know I was just kiddin ya but I do agree that some people will see any "alternatives being explored" as stirring the pot. My big mouth always got...
  25. That First Domino

    If I knew now what I knew then I would not have ever tipped that first domino into the world of nursing. Nursing was my second career and I had high hopes for a great future and career in nursing....
