1. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

   Ecs268 replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

   I would steer clear of long term care. I do long term/rehabilitation. At my particular facility, which used to be county owned and operated, non-profit, is now privately owned and for profit. Staffing and patient loads have been nothing short of ridi...

2. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

   Ecs268 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   Oh just another thought, we can get pee'd on, pooped on, vomited on, bled on, beat on, coughed on, but we can't unload at the nearby restroom because the odor may be too offensive to others virgin noses, srlsy? This is what we do people, suck it up b...

3. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

   Ecs268 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   There are several bathrooms at the rehab facility I work at that literally have signs hung that say "This is a NO BM restroom". I think the signs were made/hung by employees that work there, makes me giggle everytime I see them. Half tempted to go i...

4. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

   Ecs268 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Small minds talk about people, great minds talk about ideas. I've seen the pettiness with both men and women, although i'll have to admit the women have it dialed in and on lockdown in my experience hahah. Men can't compete when it comes to the back...

5. How to handle lazy CNA's?

   Ecs268 replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Nursing

   The laziest one's usually have the biggest mouths. Talking about all the hard work they do/ have done(while sitting down). If you play "nicey-nicey" with them, they just keep on taking advantage of you, which says a lot about what kind of people th...

   Ecs268 replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

   Fry hats, white skirt uniforms, white panty hose, ugly white hospital shoes....... Oh the horrifying sterile looking uniforms....prim and proper...makes me want to throw up in my mouth... I'm sure those before us, before the invasion of the male spec...

7. New nurse.. Just want to quit everything..

   Ecs268 replied to nohseungjin's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sure the owners just love you. You are saving them so much money, by working you harder than a Hebrew slave, and paying you peanuts. It's greedy facilities/owners like that, that I hate the most.

8. My coworker was high and got away with it

   Ecs268 replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

   What a person does in their off time is really none of your business, especially when at work. You want to slam the gavel down high upon your seat of righteousness, because you saw some random message on a phone, tell everyone at work, and then go p...

9. "Nurse" arrested for using stolen license

   Ecs268 replied to NurseQT's topic in Headlines

   But she did stay at a holiday inn for at least one night.....(remember the commercial)

10. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    Ecs268 replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    I would go to Cost-co in a new York minute, but I am still enjoying the stress, chaos, mayhem, flack from management, angry patronizing doctors, and the fly by the seat of my pants work atmosphere, oh and the lovely scheduling. I love the abuse. B...

11. Why I'm leaving nursing

    Ecs268 replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this is what I've experienced as well. It does feel like a "business" now. It will have to get worse before it gets better is my philosophical take on the matter, the system will eventually collapse under it's own weight someday. But to you ...

12. Wrong side for amputation(loss of license)

    Ecs268 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Safety

    aren't the docs supposed to talk to the patient and mark the part to be removed, themselves? Gossip is fun. Isn't that why we all became nurses in the first place, so we can talk about everybody? JK ... But if that actually happened... wouldn't the...

13. Male RN's question

    Ecs268 replied to Jamin33p's topic in Men

    You will eventually become neutered while in the trenches, then you will be fine. You will perform near or possibly better than the woman. I could be wrong though.

14. Working on Expired License for 5 Weeks

    Ecs268 replied to sainttchristopher's topic in Professionalism

    And the forum sharks have arrived...."joining just to denigrate posters", "why don't you make it to them instead of a message board". Nice, well done.

15. Working on Expired License for 5 Weeks

    Ecs268 replied to sainttchristopher's topic in Professionalism

    ^^ Don't worry to much about all the brow beating women that made negative sounding comments regarding what happened. Especially loved the comment questioning your ability "to provide competent nursing care, if you couldn't even renew your license on...
