   Always trust your gut! You did what you needed to do and for that you are a great nurse.

2. worried about technical skills

   jayne109 replied to firstyearRN's topic in General Nursing

   Relax! The more you worry about it, the more nervous you get and the more likely you will fail. Explain to your Charge nurse that you need practice with skills. Have them look out for procedures for you so you can practice. Also, tell your Orientor t...

4. pediatric vital signs

   jayne109 replied to dan_dfc's topic in Emergency

   Our policy was everyone gets a BP because of "screening for HTN early". The other ER I worked, it was just if the DR wanted it (rare). I really did them if they were bigger kids and were adult sized ( you know who I am talking about). Just my 2 cents

   jayne109 replied to Mary C's topic in General Nursing

   you can buy RX safety glasses. they have the rx lenses in them so you only have one pair of glasses on. The Trauma doc that I know that has them said they are expensive but if you need them all the time or most of the time (RE OR, Traumas, EMS, etc) ...

7. Question about charting?

   jayne109 replied to Lorie P.'s topic in Private Duty

   My pt is a 5 month old and her two modes are screaming and sleeping. So I chart Pt sleeping or Pt fussy, whatever. Mom always checks my charting so I am sure to chart what she is doing EVERY HOUR. Just my two cents.

   "They are't doing anything" until they notice "UH Mr. X is having a run of V'tach-uh Make that HE"S IN V TACH CODE CODE!" and it is the family member of MR. X that was complaining! That will change their TUNE a BIT!

   Okay, after reading these mine tricks are not bad. 1. We moved into a new ER with new everything and about 1/2 dozen chairs were not put together properly and they were high chairs. I seemed to "seek" these out and fall from them every time! they wer...

    STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP!:smackingf Your patients need you to put this on hold, go be the best nurse you can. You would not be a caring nurse if you did not worry about it but try to put it to the back of your head until your shift is over. GO Rivern...

    Because they are the ones that will review the chart IF there is a lawsuit. By letting them know and asking advice, they are aware and can help you.

13. GI Bleed

    jayne109 replied to RiverNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would give a call to your Friendly Risk Manager and let your nurse manager know as well. They can advise what to do and help the situation and let the doctor know that that was waaaayyy inappropriate. Keep us updated and please don't be so hard on ...

14. GI Bleed

    jayne109 replied to RiverNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure that the doctor should have written for you to be written up in the chart. that is a little extreme and can open you for a lawsuit by pointing a finger that you had done something wrong. that rates up there with writing "incident report...
