  1. Seeing your doc on unit ANGRY

    Never thought of it this way, but excellent point. It should have been all professional and at the time I was functioning as the nurse of his patient just as he was functioning as that patient's doctor. I should have asked him to write an order:madfa...
  2. Seeing your doc on unit ANGRY

    I understand that, but also, you see I'm a newer nurse and never had a personal doc prior to working as a nurse. So, I chose my job at a hospital, then you have to fill out your insurance info. I chose HMO and as a result we can only select from doct...
  3. Seeing your doc on unit ANGRY

    Thank you so much for this post. OMG...That poor CCU nurse was stressed when she arrived on the unit. She walked into that room, heard what he had to say, walked back out to the nurses station away from the doctor, and was talking to the nurses and t...

    Is it strange or is it just me. Having your doctor stand in your face at the hospital and give you verbal orders about a patient of his that you are taking care of and to see your doctor come to the unit in a bad mood? Anyone else have this experienc...

  9. Need a little bit of positive...

    Hey, I was a new nurse orienting on a telemetry unit also. I started at the very end of January 2005. I felt exactly how you felt in the beginning. I was told by my manager that it could take up to two years for a new graduate nurse to feel competent...

    I'm a cardiac nurses and so far the two meds I hate giving are: 1. DOPAMINE especially if it's not through a PICC line because of the constant worry about infiltration which could cause tissue necrosis and sloughing off of the skin. And I have to gi...

    We use very clean tecnique for flushing, blood draw, and unhooking fluid tubing. Because when someone is heparin locked off, the port is no longer sterile because it is hanging about on the patients arm. We use sterile technique for the dressing chan...
