  1. How to address a patient

    That's the problem, Bucky, I wish I could remember. That's why I'm asking the question in hopes someone out there has another term other than "Received patient".
  2. How to address a patient

    I notice most of the nurses I come in contact with you the term, " received patient from mom, etc, etc." I was taught back in nursing school you don't use the term "received patient". Is there another way, or wording to use when a patient is handed o...
  3. Documentation

    Thank you, Muno, but the word Noted has a totally different definition from the word Note.
  4. Documentation

    Thank you, MPKH. I looked in the Thesauruses for another word to use other than "noted" and it came up with words that didn't go well with my assessment. The other words you mentioned, "stated, reported" would be perfect, but my patient can't talk. H...
  5. Documentation

    Dear Nurses, I've been a nurse for 20 years and I still never found a professional way to write my note without using the word, "NOTED". For example: Patient "noted" to have a severe non-productive cough. I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD "NOTED". What ot...
  6. Dear Nurses, I need good sound advise for this could cost me my very good job. I am a home health care nurse. I went into a patients home to care for a child. The house was a mess, but the child looked well taken care of physically. I knew they had a...
  7. Thinking about Per Diem

    I thought the same thing about the orientation, Christine, but I wonder why they called me? They have my resume stating how long I've been out of the hospital scene. Hmm, anyway I spoke with the women today and she a part time position should be open...
  8. Thinking about Per Diem

    I am considering Per Diem nursing. Do they have orientation for Per Diem nurses and for how long? I've been out of the hospital setting for 8 years and I desperately want to go back to brush up on my skills. What do you think?
  9. Per Diem Nurses?

    $18.80??!!!! Are you a LPN?? I've never heard of a Registered Nurse in this time and age making $18.80. Where are you from? You need to get out of that job and no RN should work at $18.80 per hour. If one facility thinks it can get away with paying n...
  10. End of Per Diem?

    I doubt if Per Diem is going anywhere. Hospitals are always going to have call-outs and I was just hired as a per diem nurse in a local hospital. I also notice that all hospitals in my area are advertising for Per Diem nurses.
  11. What would you do?

    Thank you for replying, xoemmylouox.
  12. What would you do?

    You work hard, you're a competent, caring nurse. You're always on time, only calling out of work twice in four years and your patients and family members simply think the world of you, but the people you work for don't because if they did, they would...
  13. Certified Nurses Day excluding people

    You don't have to be so sensitive about giving out ribbons only to certified nurses, it's not like nurses like each other anyway. I say separate nurses as far and as wide as one can, so they don't continue to hurt each other. You never see any other ...
  14. Short nursing staff

    Why doesn't anyone call the State Health Dept.? You can do it anonymously and pretend you're a family member with real concern of injury for your loved one. The same thing happens in hospitals, especially the Med/Surg floors and ER. Always not enough...
  15. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    So, when ever a hospitals satisfactions scores are low, whether it be because of the food, docs or their screaming neighbors the next room over, it's the nurses that have to change and no one else. Why is that?
