Nurses on drugs. How many patients have suffered?
2009-07-28 05:59:00 Would it surprise anyone to learn that drug use is widespread among hospital employees? I think not. There is even a new TV show called Nurse Jackie, whose main character played by Edie Falco, is clearly addicted to prescription drugs and trades sex for drugs with the hospital pharmacist. The creators of the show have made the Nurse Jackie character the most competent person in the show's fictional hospital. That's all well and good when it comes to creating an edgy adult TV drama, but not in the real world. Real addicts are only competent in their own minds. Meet Nurse Melony. According to a recent Los Angeles Times article exposing the failure of the California Nursing Board Drug Diversion Program to protect us from nurses on drugs, Nurse Melony Currier is a poster child for nurses on drugs. In one episode, Nurse Melony passed out in her car the morning of her second day on a new job at Starpoint Surgery Center in Studio City, California. Once awakened, she was escorted to a ...

The outcome of these little calculations is essentially the reason why nurses in Copenhagen went on strike, and remain on strike several futile weeks later.It's all about 100 kroner per month in salary (after tax) or .675 kroner an hour. To put this another way: if you were offered 149.33 kroner per hour for a job, but demanded 150 kroner, would you turn the job down!!???I'm not trying to be clever here, just a bit sensible!Of course, the nurses union possesses, how shall we phrase this delicately, a questionable level of competence.

Nurses Needs FUN Too
2008-03-20 03:34:00 Being a nurse is not an easy job (especially if you're an RN in the Philippines). One is faced with an extremely unfair patient to nurse ratio that you are overworked but underpaid. Nurses are faced with so much stress from trying to save their patient's life to having to do with disgruntled and discontented family members. There are times that nurses suffer from ulcers and distended bladders because they are so busy (from caring for a lot of patients) that they forget to eat and even neglect relieving them selves in the bathroom.I won't be amazed if a nurse suddenly had enough and just have a total break down. That is why nurses should also have their own "ME" time and take some time to relax. And what better way to relax than play some online casino games right? Gambling could be quite relaxing and just having the thrill of the game is the best cure for a nurse's fatigue and stress from the hospital. But the thing about online casino is that there's just too much of them aro...

Nurses: we do seduce our patients
2008-03-03 06:28:00 Thousands of nurses believe it is justified to break the taboo on having an affair with a patient in their care. Almost one in 10 nurses think starting a relationship with one of their patients is acceptable while one in six said they knew of a colleague who had a sexual relationship with a patient they were looking after. The findings, published by the Nursing Times, will add weight to the controversial remarks by Conservative peer Lord Mancroft that nurses are ?promiscuous? and ?unprofessional?.

Nurses on the Edge
2008-02-23 17:09:00 Come on June, come on June.June is when we typically have a slow down in our ER and hospital census. Every year when this happens hospital administration 'freaks out' and starts calling off staff right and left. Soon the staff gets sick of not enough hours so they quit. Positions aren't filled.Then winter comes and we get slammed with patients, there aren't enough nurses to take care of them. The nursing staff works a lot of overtime to try and cover until they start getting sick and injured. The staff illness and injuries further reduce the staff numbers until things reach critical proportions. Staff is hired but have to have orientation so they aren't really any help during the crisis.Is it too much to ask for administration to look back over the years and see that the SAME THING HAPPENS EVERY STINKIN' YEAR? Are we really saving that much money calling everyone off when we balance it against all the overtime, sick calls and medical leave that follows? I truly doubt i...
