  1. This question was inspired by the thread about what other nurses have done to freak you out? Some of those stories made me wonder. Plus, I hear co-workers tell other nurses "they are going to loose their license." I only know a few nurses who lost...
  2. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    I am enjoying the philisophical dialogue in this thread. I left off on page 7, but I'll be back to post later once I've finished reading the entire thread.
  3. New grad just got fired

    I'm not the OP, but I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences. It is a difficult thing to talk about and share with others. For years now, I've felt like I was the only nurse who has ever been fired.
  4. New grad just got fired

    rn2day, I wish I had some magical words that would take all your pain away, but sadly, I don't. Only time can fix this. I too know that sickening, punched in the gut feeling that happens when you are told you just got canned in the early days of yo...
  5. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    Standing in the station peeing herself!
  6. Like I said, this is only the 2nd nurse I have known (outside of ER) to want the Dr. to look at them and give antibiotic Rx. This nurse wasn't expected to work sick. She has been at our hospital for less than a week so she is in orientation. Once ...
  7. I've seen it done in the ER, and the Dr.'s there don't seem to mind. True, some will say no, but the majority help out. The floor at our hospital is completely different. The only nurse I saw asking for meds was written up repeatedly for it. The...
  8. The other day, a new nurse in our dept. (well-baby nursery) came to work sick (elevated temp and sore throat). The charge nurse wouldn't tell her to go home (didn't want to hurt her feelings ). She said she was going to ask the Dr. to give her a R...
  9. Gross Out Co-Worker

    That's disgusting! I can't really give any better advice than what has already been given. The "squeaker" comment had me laughing! I tend to deal with uncomfortable situations by making jokes. Say if she farted and someone started dry heaving, I'd a...
  10. spooky spooky spooky

    A vbac gone horribly wrong with a tragic ending.
  11. med-surg vs other options

    Please give yourself more time on med-surg. I felt overwhelmed and like I wasn't cut out for med-surg. I transferred to the ER, and that was like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. I asked to be transferred back to med-surg. I trans...
  12. What do you do when the narcotic count is off?

    I just checked my state board of nursing's Spring quarterly newsletter. Forty three names were listed with disciplinary actions. Two of them are suspended licenses with fines r/t narc discrepancies. When it comes to narcs, I cover for no one. ...
  13. spooky spooky spooky

    I had an elderly woman terminal with cancer who had fallen at home and broken her hip. Hip surgery was done, and she was recovering. I came into report one day and noticed her name wasn't on the report sheet (she had been on there when I left the d...
  14. What do you do when the narcotic count is off?

    Cotjockey, you absolutely did the right thing by not signing.
  15. anyone use lovenox in odd doses? i.e. 76mg?

    I've always had Lovenox in the prefilled syringes and the dose would be for prophylaxis. I'm in the nursery now so I don't see it anymore.
