   I forgot to mention that you will be working with a ton of vicious, ruthless, and egotistical folks you will have as coworker... :-)

3. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

   ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

   Just as a reminder, I wasn't asking for anyones opinion or discussion. I am aware that not everyone will feel the way I do. I am only a portion of many perspectives out there and I just wanted to share *MY* experiences with others who may be consider...

4. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

   ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think the answer realistically is to leave as I have worked very hard to be where I am today and have spent a lot of time and money to go to school. I know I am just one life but its mine and I am not about to flush everything down the drain....

5. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

   ModernRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   If your thinking of going to school to become a nurse please take a moment to reflect on my experiences during the 17 years I have been in nursing. To be honest up front, nurses are treated like dogs. If you have the compassion to take care of others...

   A nurse has the right to refuse putting ANY order in if they do not feel it is safe.. Verbal orders are deemed UNSAFE by JCAHO...Smile! :-)

10. Don't do the physicians work!

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Relations

    Guess what? Get the verbal order and initiate it but the physician must put in the order himself/herself eventually otherwise you leave room for error. Its not rocket science Ma'am! That better for you?

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Relations

    Yes you are BSN16! The goal is to eliminate ALL verbal order entry by nurses! ALL!! The doc can put in the Levophed order himself when he takes his ass to a computer or chart. Stop kissing ass and keeping us from getting physicians on board with the ...

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Relations

    Thank you for this response. I must say that I am a travel nurse working in a hospital full of travel nurses because they can't keep any full time staff..I have worked at much better facilities where workflow is awesome! After being a nurse for 17 ye...

13. Don't do the physicians work!

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Relations

    Your practicing outside of the scope of nursing and risking the pt's safety and your license. When a nurse catches a physicians error the docs just say oh ok thanks and keep on rolling. But if a physician catches a nursing error he or she is liable t...

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Relations

    Just because YOU are ok putting in the verbal orders, YOU are putting the patients safety at risk! Plus you are enabling the physicians to continue to exercise bad habits in healthcare!

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Relations

    What I am saying is that the physician should know their patients and write the orders accordingly. We have enough on our plates keeping the sick alive and having to question the physicians orders is absurd in my opinion.
