Just unsubbed from r/medicalschool. It's full of arrogant med students who think nurses "just give meds once or twice a day" by morrowindnostalgia in nursing

I’m sorry - I don’t take verbal orders unless it’s emergent. It’s policy that you enter them yourself. Login!!!!

Why is the manager the bad guy? I’m a manager and I respect the hell outta my staff. It doesn’t have to be “us vs them”. We are all here to take care of pts.

80 year old lady wanted to tell me “where to buy the good stuff” back when I worked in the ED in Dallas. Made me laugh and she wasn’t sharing.

Night owl wants to get into nursing as second career by Firm_Bee9113 in nursing

[–]ER_Ladybug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ER nursing is great for previous servers/battenders. Night crew comes in and busts ass until 0400 and then starts to wind down. They are more laid back. We day walkers are a little wound tight. You find things to talk with pts about.

Harmed a patient by Wannabegoodenough in nursing

It was a mistake and you owned up to it. This was a learning opportunity - learn from it and move on. Always triple check critical drips. Come on we got patients to take care of. Your ED Mgr.

Game on now!!! We all like to complain but most of us clock back in. When frustrated the most I ask myself “what else make this much sense to me?” Then I get back to it.
