1. Thoughts on Charge RN

   Morguein replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Critical

   Charge nurses frequently take patients, especially when the unit is short staffed. You would need to be able to pick up a team. Charge nurses are also considered resource nurses which means you are an expert on the unit you're in charge of. If you...

2. Is your ICU staffed with mostly New Grads?

   Morguein posted a topic in Critical

   What do you all think of having mostly new grads in your ICU than experienced ICU nurses? Do you see that as a recipe for disaster, or bringing in new creative fresh ideas, etc? Has anyone ever worked in an ICU where there were more New grads than e...

3. Late admissions/close to shift change

   Morguein replied to Enmc412's topic in Critical

   I feel like you should do what you can in the hour that you have left. I'd assess the patient, do any STAT labs, and any emergent STAT orders like hanging blood and starting drips. Then, I'd get the admission paperwork done. As far as the paperwor...

4. Joint commission and their ridiculous mandates

   Morguein replied to nightdove's topic in Critical

   I get what both sides are saying here. I work critical care too; and sometimes, my patients are too sick to leave them in order to document all this real time information that's required. I'd say that pretty much, every day I work, I'm standing at ...

   Thanks Trauma! :)

6. HIPAA Violation?

   Morguein replied to Morguein's topic in General Nursing

   I've noticed that we can't delete any of our own blogs. Does anyone know why? I went through all of my posts to make sure they were "okay" and didn't need to delete any of them; but If I had wanted to, I would not have been able to anyway.

7. HIPAA Violation?

   Morguein replied to Morguein's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, that's me; naive. Not anymore though. At least, with this subject. I'm thankful that I have never had any crazy pictures on my page; but I did take some of them down just in case someone else might think they are.

8. HIPAA Violation?

   Morguein replied to Morguein's topic in General Nursing

   I definitely need to be more on the cautious side. I am used to speaking my mind on my page and expressing my frustrations, etc... But I guess that's pretty dumb huh? I've learned a lot in just the past couple days here. Wow, even discussing a TV...

9. HIPAA Violation?

   Morguein replied to Morguein's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all so much! I appreciate the time you took in responding to my questions. I've just gone through my FB page and pretty much deleted ANYTHING that might get me in trouble, including some personal pictures, even polls I've taken about gay ...

10. HIPAA Violation?

    Morguein posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello. I hope someone can help me with this. I am confused about the whole HIPAA thing. Everything I learned at work about HIPAA was about not revealing a patient's name, room number, their address, phone number, or anything specific like that alo...

11. looking for best ICU workplaces in Melbourne/Cocoa FL

    Morguein replied to AubrieRN's topic in Florida

    Eventually, I'd like to move to the same area. I have sister who lives in the Satellite Beach area and I'd like to live near her since we are very close. I also work in ICU. How do you like the hospital you work in now? I also hear there is a tra...

12. new icu nurse did I make thew right decision

    Morguein replied to nurserev's topic in Critical

    You are perfect for the ICU. I don't know what's up with your preceptor. The ICU is usually pretty busy; and yes, things do need to get done quickly, but it's sooo easy to forget to do stuff. So being organized and writing things down helps you to...

15. Bodies Breaking Down?

    Morguein replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    My body was telling me it needed some tender loving care (physically, mentally, and emotionally), so I decided to work weekend alternative to take better care of myself and to have a life beyond nursing. Its the best decision I've ever made. I love...
