    I worked 7a-7p yesterday and my charge nurse told me at about 6:30p that we were getting an admit - we printed out her info from the ED even thought we both knew the pt wouldnt be coming up until after I'd left. Well at 6:53pm the ED calls and wants ...
  2. can you work...

    I worked on weekends only when I was in college for my ADN - My job was one where I sat and answered phones, so in between calls I was able to study. In terms of clinicals, it depends on what rotation you were in. All the Med Surg clinicals normally...

  6. Can a nursing student use the word "code"?

    I don't see why you can't use the term Code Blue, as long as that's the code the facility your at uses for an arrest. If there's a code, there's a code! Dont be afraid to be obnxious to get attention and help if you really need it!
  7. PPD results

    I havent had a positive PPD, but I've had the nursescreening me take me to the head of employee health. She took one look at me, saw I was a fair skinned, freckled redhead and said it was an allergy. Of course, I've had 3-4 PPDs in the past year and ...
  8. How to get in?

    I never worked as a CNA, but at my hospital the nurses on Peds don't have CNAs to utilize. I dont know about L&D, but we've had mother-baby CNAs get floated to my unit.

    I posted this in this post; https://allnurses.com/forums/f8/have-you-ever-gone-find-patient-dead-what-happened-127107-8.html#post2920717 I like to think maybe she was waiting for someone to come in the room before she went completely asystole, to n...
  10. Had my first code last night

    Good job! Does your hospital have a rapid response team? My hospital does and one of the criteria for calling them into action is just "something doesnt feel right" or nurses intuition.
  11. Ever heard of fomites, doc?

    Ive seen plenty of docs go in and out of isolation rooms with no gown or gloves
  12. HIV+ residents

    Maybe I'M ignorant in thinking that we've reached a period of time where people realize HOW HIV is transmitted, and when I read the original post, I thought the poster was a troll.
  13. SP CVP Insertion?

    It was a PICC insertion. But we had to wait until today to get it inserted since the pt has MR and we needed to get consent from her legal appointed guardian
  14. SP CVP Insertion?

    Had a patient who had this ordered this afternoon. Our MDs have a computer order system - The PA's order read "SP CVP Insertion" and the reason for the order was "pneumonia". I asked 2 other more experience nurses (including charge) what it was and n...
