My job has open window for State surveys now. which, ugh I am so thrilled about(nope not at all). I hope my facility's survey goes as smooth as yours did. For me, survey week has always been the week I wished I was on vacation. It is the worst, annoying feeling having the state surveyors all in your charts, watching your every move when you just looking to get your work done, but I always manage to get through it. I am new to your blog :) love it so far! ymendez87https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816360463018282075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-77491720013329368332014-02-05T15:13:04.564-08:002014-02-05T15:13:04.564-08:00New to your blog but LOVE IT!

A lot of those acronyms get thrown around and the definitions aren't always clear. <br />Congratulations on the flying colors in the survey! I'd love to work in a place with such emphasis on exceptional nursing care. <br />Take care and good luck!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459668958532049480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-311420201625896982014-01-24T11:58:15.955-08:002014-01-24T11:58:15.955-08:00Well Done!Well Done!Cr0w$C@llingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-89003474393754966132014-01-23T20:24:50.991-08:002014-01-23T20:24:50.991-08:00Just found your blog.

You're a hell of a writer, and despite the Nursing Officer's snub, probably a dang good nurse.<br />I'm 3yrs out of nursing school, and I find myself googling "I Hate Nursing" just to see if I had anyone to commiserate with. I actually like the act of nursing. It's the profession—the bureaucracy and politics and (lack of) management and passive-aggressive-speak and near total discordance between a hospital's mission and actual behavior that has driven me near postal. <br /><br />Yet you've given me the hope to carry on!<br />So carry on!<br /><br />thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-81213160973463664992014-01-23T05:33:24.176-08:002014-01-23T05:33:24.176-08:00A thousand congrats on passing that survey, Jo.

And I have to say I am a big fan. Thank you for what you do and I endlessly say (most) nurses who love (most) patient, need to be told when they do a fab job. Like what happened here.....you got a perfect score. But really at the end of the day you really do work for your patients and what lucky ones they are to have you caring for them. Nurses also really do need to be paid more. They truly do the life saving.....congrats and I am sending you a great big thank you for what you do hug from Canada :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044902181679994129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-24472837587359546372014-01-21T20:10:33.382-08:002014-01-21T20:10:33.382-08:00Welcome back!

Way to GO!! ('Also glad you're "back" & okay, too~~~~I just might have some bourbon in your honor tonight. So, there.

When I, in simply commenting about what a *wonderful* nurse a certain longtime, recently-retired nurse had been ............ (i.e., who additionally had been ROUTINELY thanked/praised for her excellent Patient Care; and for her genuine, all-around helpfulness, not only by her grateful patients; and by her/our nursing and medical colleagues, but also by our NURSE MANAGER herself, too!!) ............ my Nurse Manager simperingly said, "Well, there are OTHER good nurses who (still) work here, too."<br /><br />With the current push toward "Kinder/Gentler; Non-Hostile; Non-Toxic; Non -Adult Bullying; More Civil Workplaces," your new Nursing Officer, Jo; and my Nurse Manager maybe both just have/had ............ a real-bad-case of Impacted Civility, (haha)!!Rosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290435002631069643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-44477129745666532582014-01-18T20:56:45.832-08:002014-01-18T20:56:45.832-08:00glad to hear from you again, and that your NCCU di...glad to hear from you again, and that your NCCU did so amazingly well - strong women rock! <br />clairesmumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-24916025099559360822014-01-17T22:01:19.750-08:002014-01-17T22:01:19.750-08:00Wow !~!
