1. 4 Eyes Assessment

   tayp1991 replied to Turtle in scrubs's topic in General Nursing

   My hospital rolled out "4 eyes in 4 hours," within the past 6 months. It requires two RNs to assess patient's skin, head to toe, within 4 hours of arrival to the floor. This includes new admissions as well as transfers. As you know, if a pressure ul...

2. Why don't you just read the chart?

   tayp1991 replied to Guest219794's topic in Relations

   I, in no way, think ER nurses are lazy. I know that they are focused on the issue at hand whether it be chest pain or whatever, get them stable and get them out of the ER. Totally get that. I do know that ER nurses are far too busy to know everythi...

   tayp1991 replied to Guest219794's topic in Relations

   Our facility recenty implemented a system to speed up ER to bed time. If the patient is coming to the floor (to me), we do not get report from the ER nurses at all, all we get from our charge nurse is name, age, and diagnosis. It is then our respon...

6. Has anyone taken the NCLEX in 2015?

   tayp1991 replied to tayp1991's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks! I was sure there were some out there who have taken the NCLEX this year, but when searching the topics on here, I had not seen many boards that were discussing the 2015 NCLEX. I have read the test plan, which was pretty helpful, and am doin...

7. Has anyone taken the NCLEX in 2015?

   tayp1991 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I am taking the NCLEX-RN in a few short weeks. From my understanding, the NCLEX has changed some this year, mainly by only using generic names for medications. I was just hoping for some insight regarding the new test plan! Good luck to others in m...

8. Do you enjoy being a PCA?

   tayp1991 replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Technicians

   In reference to your original question, Do you enjoy being a PCT, I would say yes and no. I have been a PCT on the resource team in my hospital for just over a year. Essentially, I float to units who have staffing needs. Whether my day is "good" o...
