rnchat: @ali_rn Welcome! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:06
EllenRichter: Great to see students come to the chat! Welcome everyone! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:06
KaitlynAliano: @heychrissmith, awesome. I'm watching Medium and following #RNchat. What movie?
2/19/2010 21:06
NurseSylvia11: @EllenRichter thanks! #rnchat
2/19/2010 21:06
rnchat: T1 Grievances: What are best practices for grievances? When should nurses go public?
How should they proceed? Any examples? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:06
heychrissmith: @KaitlynAliano Cloudy with a chance of meatballs #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:07
EllenRichter: T1 Phil, define grievances? You mean work-related issues? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:08
EllenRichter: LMAO @Kineticycle 200th?? Do I get a prize (hopefully yes!) :) My pleasure following a
fellow nurse! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:08
KaitlynAliano: RT @rnchat: T1 - What are best practices for grievances? When should nurses go
public? How should they proceed? Any examples? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:09
Kineticycle: #rnchat T1 grievence? Is this union related or just a "concern" in general? Not sure I
understand the scope of the Q?
2/19/2010 21:10
EllenRichter: T1 To get any real headway with a grievance, you must follow the correct chain of
command. "Going public?" Not sure what that means #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:10
holisticnurses: #RNChat Aw, hi gang! Can't really participate as I'm working tonite (& it's crazy) but will
be following along when I can. Cheers!
2/19/2010 21:11
ali_rn: @Kineticycle gives the nurse protection/recourse #rnchat
2/19/2010 21:12
NurseSylvia11: T1 is honesty the best policy? Leave it to the hospital to decide. Clearing your conscience
doesn't always benefit the masses #rnchat
2/19/2010 21:12
EllenRichter: T1 Many companies have a grievance committee that includes RNs & administrators who
try to resolve a grievance behind closed doors #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:12
EllenRichter: T1 @ali_rn Remember, not every hospital/facility has a union! :) #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:13

3. yvette2012: @EllenRichter Do nurses in FL have unconditional protection when "speaking out" after
following chain of command? In TX it seems no #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:14
EllenRichter: @holisticnurses Hi! Sorry you cant partake! Dont work too hard! :) #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:14
ali_rn: @EllenRichter very true...but i have only worked in one that does!! skews my view i
guess! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:15
EllenRichter: T1 @yvette2012 No one has unconditional protection anywhere! We must always play by
the rules if we want protection. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:15
EllenRichter: T1 @kineticycle Many times the grievance has nothing to do with patient care. But its still
an issue needing resolution! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:16
ali_rn: @EllenRichter good points about protection and grievance/pt care #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:18
Kineticycle: #rnchat T1 if a grievance is to have a + impact, it must have a willing champion to "fix"
the wrong. It's all in the approach to build trust
2/19/2010 21:18
EllenRichter: T1 @ali_rn I have worked in both union hospitals & non-union ones. Good/bad for each
type. A supportive administration always helps #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:18
yvette2012: As a complete new-comer, message I'm getting is: don't speak out, b/c even when you
DO follow the rules, you can get into a mess #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:19
PamelaKline: #RNchat~ Sorry, I'm late but here:)
2/19/2010 21:19
ali_rn: @Kineticycle that isn't exactly how it work where i work- a nurse will recieve pay for ot
she should have gotten, stuff like that, #rnchat
2/19/2010 21:21
ali_rn: @Kineticycle have not seen it lead to actual policy change #rnchat
2/19/2010 21:21
EllenRichter: T1 @yvette2012 When a nurse feels there was injustice or wrong-doing, theres no Xcuse
for silence. There R tactics for effectiveness #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:21
rnchat: @PamelaKline Welcome! We'll start the second topic in a few moments. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:21
EllenRichter: @PamelaKline welcome gf!! :) Not too late! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:21
Kineticycle: #rnchat T1 RNs must speak out, they just can't "whine about everything". Be focused, ID
the cause and suggest solutions = best chance.
2/19/2010 21:22

4. rnchat: Lot of great views here on grievances. Second topic coming up! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:22
EllenRichter: T1 I'm sure every nurse has stories of incidents where they couldve/shouldve made a
grievance, but didnt--to prevent more H/As #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:23
holisticnurses: RT @Kineticycle #rnchat T1 RNs must speak out, just can't "whine about everything". Be

rnchat: T2 Pharmaceutical Industry: Is Pharma sufficiently supportive of nursing? How should
they be involved? What can they do for us? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:24
yvette2012: I'm just *perplexed". What did the TX nurse do wrong? She's paying a hefty price for
speaking her mind about what was right. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:24
EllenRichter: T1 Yessss...@kineticycle GREAT point about having some ideas for a solution! Thats a
plus & can really help resolve things. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:24
KaitlynAliano: RT @rnchat: T2 - Is Pharma sufficiently supportive of nursing? How should they be
involved? What can they do for us? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:24
EllenRichter: @yvette2012 Texas nurse issue compounded by a very small hospital, small town, the
MD & the sheriff had a relationship. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:26
holisticnurses: And many nurses have come together bc of that! RT @yvette2012 I'm just *perplexed".
What did the TX nurse do wrong? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:26
philbaumann: @yvette2012 We all are. It was the most bizarre case ever. Just bizarre. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:27
PamelaKline: @yvette2012 I agree with you Yvette. She did nothing wrong. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:27
Kineticycle: #rnchat T2 if Pharma were supportive of nursing they would: use larger print, name meds
less alike, make doses easier 2 deliver (no cutting)
2/19/2010 21:28
EllenRichter: T2 One big beef with the whole pharmaceutical industry is the complexity of all the
different names for each drug! Makes it so hard! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:28
holisticnurses: Agreed! RT @philbaumann @yvette2012 We all are. It was the most bizarre case ever.
Just bizarre. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:29

5. KaitlynAliano: @holisticnurses, yes. One of the best things to come out of the case; a strengthened
sense of community & fellowship among nurses. #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:29
EllenRichter: T2 Each drug should just have a generic name!! Not 15 different trade names for each
company! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:29
Kineticycle: RT @yvette2012: I'm just *perplexed". What did the TX nurse do wrong? She's paying a
hefty price...about what was right. #RNchat ^POLITICS!

2/19/2010 21:30
EllenRichter: T2 The patients get so confused. They call a med one name, nurse calls it another, MD
writes it under a 3rd name! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:30
rnchat: A great point by @EllenRichter - what can Pharma do with respect to med naming? Any
suggestions or is it just hopeless? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:31
Kineticycle: RT @EllenRichter: T2 The patients get so confused. They call a med one name, nurse
calls it another, MD writes it under a 3rd name! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:31
EllenRichter: T2 Another thing I am puzzled about is the size of some pills...ie coreg, thyroid
suppl...they are like saccharine! Old shaky hands? #RNchat

2/19/2010 21:33
EllenRichter: T3 LOL, and my last big beef with pharma...make more of the common medications in
elixer form. Thousands need their pills crushed! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:34
yvette2012: But then, I don't want their job either #RNchat

joining #RNchat for the first time.
2/19/2010 21:34
ali_rn: t2 #rnchat my primary concern is how much drug waste their is..why provide 4 of
morphine so i can waste 2?
2/19/2010 21:35

6. PamelaKline: @maryannagordon welcome!!! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:35
EllenRichter: T3 I know when I crush up 15 pills for an NG tube, much of those drugs never dissolve
well & doses are not 100% instilled #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:35
maryannagordon: I'll agree w/ general confusion with the complexity of the naming system, my students
have much difficulty learning all permutations #RNCHAT
2/19/2010 21:36
ali_rn: people cannot afford meds, and i'm throwing away perfectly good ones, every hour!
#rnchat
2/19/2010 21:36
Kineticycle: #rnchat T2 simplify med dosing, standardize concentrations, improve labeling so it can be
read, sponsor RN education, not just doc vacations
2/19/2010 21:36
EllenRichter: T3 @ali_rn I cant agree more! I hate wasting narcotics just because the pharmacy has
only one dose available!! Sometimes every hour~ #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:37
EllenRichter: LOL @ali_rn We both said "every hour"! We know how to waste, dont we? ;) #RNchat

7. Pharma do in a broader sense (support, etc.) #RNchat

2/19/2010 21:43
EllenRichter: T2 Maybe Pharma could hire more RN consultants to help in the development phases of
pharma instead of bandaid to existing problems #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:43
PamelaKline: @Kineticycle I agree with you, I'm packing my bags:) #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:44
EllenRichter: @mandirocker Great point! I think drug names are VERY important to the understanding
of their actions by patients AND hc professnls #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:44
yvette2012: T2 I have a broad question: are pharm companies genuinely interested in promoting
safety? Is their any incentive for them? #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:44
EllenRichter: LMAO!!! I just saw that!! haha >> RT @Kineticycle: T2 pharma should send RNs to
Hawaii for a 2 week ACLS recert ;) #RNchat

meet each other on the road. :) #RNchat

about altruistic patient care, altho importnt #RNchat

send us to Maui now :)
2/19/2010 21:48
ELNC: @yvette2012 T2 I don't think safety is their primary concern. Safety falls on the nurse.
#RNCHAT

rnchat: @Kineticycle Our pleasure! #RNchat
2/19/2010 21:50
Kineticycle: #rnchat T2 instead of pharma supporting nursing, how can nursing influence pharma?
What's our sphere of influence on them? Do we use it?
2/19/2010 21:50

women? What's improved over the decades? #RNchat

squelched by a pat on the head! #RNchat

9. Kineticycle: #rnchat T3 I still see the skepticism in females and acute MI's. Why do we do that?
Myocytes are dying and we stand looking on in denial.

health w/respect to Sx assessment, etc.? #RNchat

considered basic says something. #RNchat

ali_rn: RT @StephenNP: #RNchat Hi there - T3 - Plus we know that most of the older clinical
trials were only conducted on white men - thank you!!
2/19/2010 22:09
EllenRichter: T3 When I went to school, that mustve been before women were invented, because we
didnt even have Womens Health as an elective! :( #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:10
rnchat: @lisagualtieri Sure - but maybe not during the #RNchat - it's one hour where we like to
focus things a bit. OK?

11. yvette2012: T3 I just check my course outline to be sure. We have Maternal/Newborn NUR in the 4th
semester. The only 1 relating directly 2 women #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:10
KaitlynAliano: @yvette2012, same with my program, Yvette! #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:11
EllenRichter: T3 Very sad to hear this from current students. Here I thought nursing schools were so
"cutting edge" in 2010~ Very saddened. #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:12
PamelaKline: @EllenRichter~ T3- LOL!! #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:13
EllenRichter: @PamelaKline LOL here too ;) #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:14
rnchat: @EllenRichter Same here - it's pretty mind-blowing. We're talking half of the population.
Kinda sorta big, ya know?? #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:14
yvette2012: T3 I know we're slightly off topic, but I don't think NUR can only be 2yr program anymore.
There are so many HAVE TO KNOW issues #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:14
KaitlynAliano: @EllenRichter, I'm assuming they cluster Women's Health in with Maternal/Newborn NUR,
but the info really deserves its own course. #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:15
rnchat: OK - we're gonna wrap up in a moment. Lots of great stuff here tonight!!! #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:15
yvette2012: T3 And mine is supposed to be a well supported (by local hospitals) program right here in
Orlando #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:15
EllenRichter: @yvette2012 I agree 100% on the RN minimum education. I am a full supporter of at
LEAST a BSN for all RNs. & thats just entry level #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:15
PamelaKline: @rnchat loved it tonight Phil. Very educational and eye opening! Thanks:) #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:16
rnchat: I think we're gonna have to revisit women's health again soon on #RNchat Huge room for
improvement here I do believe.
2/19/2010 22:16
rnchat: @PamelaKline Sure! Keep coming back! #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:16
KaitlynAliano: @yvette2012, I'm in a 2 yr program at the mo, but plan to go on to get my BSN. I do
think it's important. #RNchat
2/19/2010 22:17
holisticnurses: RT @EllenRichter I agree 100% on the RN minimum education. I am a full supporter of at
LEAST a BSN for all RNs. 4 just entry level #RNchat

them pay for the BSN. ;-) #RNchat
