  1. rhode island hospital

    Hi ~ I don't know if you are working there now as this thread is a few months old, but I worked there as a traveler around 4 yrs ago. I liked RIH because it was a teaching hospital and the interns were extremely hands on and very helpful and I felt...
  2. Where were u 9/11/01?

    I went to a wedding that weekend in Boston and took a flight back to North Carolina on Monday September 10th, just in time for my 7pm-7am shift at the hospital. I came home exhausted after my shift and slept all day. When I woke up, the phone was r...
  3. Help me choose a city by the water?

    Hi! I am from MA also! One of my most favorite places while I was a Travel Nurse was in Wilmington, NC. Beautiful, beautiful place.
  4. Have you ever made a med error?

    I totally agree. That is how it is in the real world. Also when I give the pt. their pills I say each one and what it is for. It is so easy to make a mistake. Remember the 5 rights!
  5. How can I say anything?

    I know, it is so hard to talk to someone about their weight. If the weight is due to overeating, it is so hard to change their weighs (oops, ways). Seriously though, if I have a pt. who is asking a lot of questions as to why they have diabetes, hea...
  6. I freaked out

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I ended up getting canceled the next day (nothing to do with the outburst ~ hopefully...). Today I went into work to drop a few things off and I had my adorable baby boy which made everyone smile, so hopefully i...
  7. I freaked out

    Oops. I thought it was gen. nsg. forum.
  8. I freaked out

    Well, yeah, I am exactly like that too, but since my show the other day, I am going to have to remember that it is not the janitors fault, but that floor polisher machine. Oh, Boy. Not looking forward to tomorrow.:imbar :
  9. turn, cough and deep breathe

    If a pt is groggy then I will gently tell them that I am going to be repositioning them. While changing their position I tell them to take a nice, deep cough. If the I.S. is there then I will have them use that a few times. While they are in the m...
  10. Halloween and Nursing

    Hee Hee! :rotfl:
  11. I almost lost it yesterday

    Wow...I didn't even notice your thread until after I posted mine (I freaked out). I understand...
  12. I freaked out

    I totally freaked out at work the other day. It was extremely inappropriate and uncalled for. I am embarassed to go to work. The other morning, right during our 8am med pass ~ including all the insulins ~ the janitors were waxing the floors which ...
  13. Do you exercise on the days you work?

    I have oftened wondered--what is more important, sleep or exercise? I too would wake up early, exhausted, to exercise. I was losing sleep, but still exercised. Now, I wished I only had the desire to exercise. Actually, that is what I am supposed ...
  14. Andrea Yates R.N.

    It is interesting that sometimes mental disorders become more prevalent following a pregnancy. I feel that every mom or mom-to-be should be screened to see if they are at risk for ppd, especially since it can lead to pp psychosis. As to why some dad...
  15. rules of injections

    In my 12 yrs. I have never done that, nor do I ever expect someone else to give what I have drawn up. Noone has ever asked me to either b/c it is just something that you don't do.
