1. Before you make fun of a patient, make sure they can't see you.

   RADONC-RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   I am really sorry this happened to you. I absolutely hate nurses who do it. I had an EMT do that just the other day in front of the pt. He thought the pt was incoherent. He wasn't. Just old and frail and kept his eyes closed all the time. He answers ...

2. Another gripe about an ego-driven doctor

   RADONC-RN replied to New2ER's topic in General Nursing

   Who all have you reported this too? I would call the Nursing Supervisor immediately next time to come to the ER to witness it then. If no good of this, go to your manager asap and tell them that they are creating a "Hostile Work Environment". They us...

3. What would you call "Practicing Medicine"

   RADONC-RN replied to RADONC-RN's topic in General Nursing

   Woody, I think you mean "without a MD order" for these. Correct? Because our SOP allows us to do most of those things with an order. Even if I have an order for cutting someone , I don't think I can do that LOL.

4. Hospice position

   RADONC-RN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I am an oncology nurse and I really think Hospice nurses have a very tough job. You have to be very flexible and knowlegdible in all aspects of nursing. Hats off to Hospice nurses everywhere!

5. What would you do?

   RADONC-RN replied to livingroomcomputer's topic in General Nursing

   It's doctors and assistants like these that make our profession bad to the public. I definitely would seek a personal inhury lawyer for advise.

7. What would you call "Practicing Medicine"

   RADONC-RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello everyone. Just a curious thought for the day. What examples for a nurse "Practicing Medicine" can you give. Ex: Giving meds without a MD order. Changing med dosage without MD order.

8. Doctors who act childish!

   RADONC-RN replied to RADONC-RN's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks Daytonite, but unfortunately it's not an assertiveness issue. I am also know for my assertiveness (not aggressiveness) and this is one of the things that tick him off when I said no to something he wants done yesterday. We have nicknamed him "...

9. Doctors who act childish!

   RADONC-RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello everyone. I work with a MD who is so self-centered and childish it drives me nuts but not only that it is starting to affect the care I give my pts. I have spoke to the manager about this and she just laughs saying "Oh there's nothing I can do ...

10. What is the proper way to resign?

    RADONC-RN replied to Jen1228's topic in General Nursing

    Check your hospital's policy for the amt of time you must give to resign. State in your resignation that you've enjoyed working there but because of you are moving to another State ( for whatever reason) you must resign.Don't put in anything negative...

    The first year of nursing is always difficult. You feel clumsy and stupid. This is normal !!!If you are unsure of something , either look it up or ask for help. Admitting you don't know something doesn't mean you ar stupid. Mistakes do get made. Even...

12. Precepting Questions

    RADONC-RN replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Nursing

    I know that when I was in school , you got to pick medical or surgical but not the floor or preceptor. I would ask a few of the previous grads from your school if you can.

13. Does anyone else find this disturbing?

    RADONC-RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    First of all ALL RNs are responsible for their own actions whether on a preceptorship or orientation. So that managaer has no right to say that. I would also check on that hospital's policy to see who can be a preceptor. Most hospitals do not allow a...
