Yea, that was my thought later also. Maybe she will be a fun manager. But then my cynical self thought, maybe she is trying to appear to be a fun manager but is really a you know what. Or maybe I was...
Although I am not sure I agree with the write up, I would have clarified the order with the MD. If it was written exactly as you say here then the order does not even say how often for sleep, every...
Oh DaveyDo, Tricia looks too sweet and is to nice to "try to take your Life". I think she is trying to shake some sense into you. We will just keep an eye on the situation for now and see what...

When I first started nursing (approx. 20 yrs ago) we received $1.00 more per hour for students and zero for new hires. I haven't seen that extra pay lately. I also found it highly annoying to have...
When i started nursing this type of report was not done. I never liked the bedside report per se unless there was a specific reason (wound check, new equipment etc.). I am ok with a quick view of the...
I have never been able to figure out why some places seem to get rid of the good workers and keep the slackers and trouble makers, just different reasons in different places i guess. I sometimes...
And then there are those other S&M employees. Skirters and Manipulators. They spend more time and energy trying to get out of doing work then they would have spent just doing the work. Ugh...
This article gives a little more info: https://www.kansas.com/news/local/crime/article227324124.html This MD needed to be arrested, it is appalling to me that a MD would do this to his real patients...
Thank you for posting this. The workload is fast becoming unsustainable and has only got worse in the last 20 yrs. And while i like the word change i honestly dont see it making a difference to...
One does not necessarily negate the other. They could have started giving the preventative Ab for (what they think) is a very good reason but still (at the same time) can cause harm to those who do...
I worked Oncology many years and we had students. You will get tons of hands on experience including some that you might not get on med-surg. Probably not too many IV starts (depending on the unit) as...
"But if I don't go, I think I will look back in life and regret not at least trying, if that makes sense." There are always many different paths in our lives that we can choose. We never know for sure...
reminds me of something I witnessed (way back) in high school.... Our school was in the process of intergrading disabled kids into regular classrooms and would put the disabled kid in the front row....
Without knowing all the details this sounds pretty heartless. However, we all know how family can be sometimes and maybe the MD had already been there multiple times with different family answering...
Agree, hence the never say never. Hopefully these latest outbreaks of measles and this preventable Tetorifice to this poor little boy will be a wake up call to
yea, that is probably true but I wonder how they knew to suture correctly because they are obviously not medically trained (of course never say never), maybe they watched a youtube video, the whole...
Anyway, I have both experienced and seen all the above faces. Although I don't usually have that happy beginning shift face until after sufficient coffee, but by then I have usually moved onto one of...
I am not sure exactly what your point is but here goes. It sounds like you think that any nurse has a right to just barge into a pts room and do whatever intervention is due. Any and every pt has the...
