    Being a southern girl ain't gonna save you this weekend. I'm in SC and they are calling for 3-5 inches between tonight and the am. Yes it happens rarely but it still happens. Hope everyone is safe.
  2. Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist...

    Hey there and welcome to CDI nursing! I've been in CDI little over a year now and love it. I didn't have to take a test for job but the learning curve is huge! You have to learn to reconcile your clinical thinking to the coding world way of interpre...
  3. Fired. How Do I get rehired?

    Most of us have been in your situation in one way or other during our nursing careers. It hurts to have to admit our mistakes, but you sound like you have taken responsibility for what happened and that in my opinion is the most important step in fin...
  4. Advice - New coworker on orientation may be let go

    I know this wasn't the focus of the OP's question but do I understand correctly the older nurse's preceptor has been talking about her performance to other nurses including the OP who is relatively new to the unit herself? I have been a preceptor man...
  5. I did actually say this one night after 2 previous nites of being "the ***** in the box" as we refer to triage. Had a FF who had chronic back pain, pain was always 12/10 scale. Allergic to everything except dilaudid and percocet. She was going on and...
  6. Struggling on Medical Floor!

    I wanted to comment after reading this thread and it is off topic, sorry in advance. But first to the OP, hang in there...it does get better, you simply have to find a system that works for you and you have been given some excellent suggestions here....

    The yelling is really unnecessary and rude.
  8. In the box

    We refer to triage where i work as being the B**** in the Box.
  9. Code Blue Experiences

    Probably wasn't the most dramatic code i been in but it was certainly the one that seemed to be the most chaotic....I had brought a pt up to one of our med/surg floors from the ED and was standing at the nurse's station talking to the charge nurse wh...
  10. Anyone know of an RN to FNP prog. without a Bachelors?

    If someone says there is...i'm going to be really upset,lol. it will mean i have been torturing myself doing this the long way apparently.
  11. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    First off, I was truly wishing you luck on your nursing career..but hey if you are going to accuse me of something well let me accomadate you by doing it at least. Yes experienced nurses, especially the fear inspiring ER nurses, just may know a littl...
  12. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    i read your posting and really did stop and think about why i became a nurse, honestly i did. i became a nurse to help people, yes i did. i went into nursing with absolutely no experience in the healthcare field, heck i had never even been in the hos...
  13. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    Wow...having just read this entire thread or as I have taken to calling it the circle of repeating the same comments by a few select posters, I have come to the conclusion that this thread is continuing because people apparently like beating a not on...
  14. Question: Is there a thread that ONLY belongs to nurses?

    All I want to say is that being a patient does not qualify you to be a nurse or tell nurses or other healthcare workers how to behave or how mean we are in general. I can understand the curosity factor people wanting to see behind the curtain at wha...
