  1. silly mistake at work

    You know how rooms are cleaned between a MRSA pt and the next pt taking the room? Well, you could clean or disinfect any possibly contaminated surface in the other resident's room. Ie. The doorknob and as LC said, replace the qtips or wipe down the ...
  2. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

    Give the OP a break. The supervisor obviously put him under a lot of pressure, which is totally different from student-student pressure. OP sounds like he wants out so there is no need to berate him for the past that he cannot change. I would be ver...
  3. I need your help!

    I am only up to the 2nd page but questions 4, 5 and 6 are worded poorly for a research survey. They are all leading questions and designed to back-up your initial hypothesis that there need to be better designed incubators for better mother/baby bon...
  4. Can someone clarify is I passed or fail nclex, tnx

    You have it the wrong way around. You're the one who isn't understanding, not the other posters. It is the same all over the world in the following ways: 1) if the board says you passed, you passed 2) if you have a license no., you passed 3) if the ...
  5. Starting new psych job

    Be sure to review the thread on "Jacob Rockstar the psych RN" for handy tips on how to be on top of your game! Another thing you could review is your state's mental health legislation especially re involuntary admissions. Mental state assessments ar...
  6. Nursing in Nursing Home ?

    I would like to know the same thing. I've worked psycho-geriatric (hospital) so I understand the nursing role and am used to doing the medication rounds multiple times a day for the entire unit. The part that concerns me is knowing what things, uni...
  7. I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    I really feel for you but it was a BIG mistake to accuse the CI of being passive-aggressive. She has the power and regardless of if that is wrong or right, you need to stay on her good side. I don't know anyone who would get past a student being sn...
  8. Non nursing duties

    That's all part of my job description but then I'm in Australia, not the US. Look at your job description and see what it says. Whether you can get anything done about it is another story and depends on your managers, workplace culture and staffing ...
  9. Ideas for groups run by RNs?

    This site has some good resources. Also check the 'workbooks' section for self help modules that can be used as a base, in conjunction with sessions. These are all designed to be used without needing special permission. One place I worked had daily ...
  10. Thanks for the support and opposition

    I humbly request that people please stop eating "the young"™. Their posts amuse me too much. (They do sadden me but also amuse me.) I have been in their shoes and am more than happy to offer support and constructive strategies but people have to b...
  11. Thanks for the support and opposition

    Thank you to those who actually have a heart, like nurses are supposed to. I know I asked if you think my situation is fair but I didn't ask for your opinions. If you want to be mean, go to someone else's thread. This is not what my thread is for. I...
  12. Best Advice for New Nurses on their First Job?

    A few things: -Ask if you don't know/don't understand but pick your questions. If you leave the things that you can just as easily look up for yourself, you have more time for questions that have gray zones and intricacies. Regardless of that, ask ...
  13. What is it with nurses showing up late!

    Anywhere I've worked, the team leader sends staff home on time and stays until the floor is staffed. But 45 minutes? Really?! You would hope management would deal with this. Nobody wants to stay another hour when you're dying to get home. Definit...
  14. I need help with understanding how do a care plan.

    It sounds like you pick a medical Dx and then list examples of what kinds of nursing diagnoses you might expect to see in a patient. Eg. Congestive heart failure (med dx) might have potential for fluid overload, and/or some of the breathing related n...
  15. Clinical educator has made me depressed.

    Just a note: your clinical educator has not made you depressed. Nobody can make you feel a certain way and it is unfair to place the responsibility for your feelings on an external party. I understand you're frustrated, though and that's probably ...
