2. Difficult lazy coworkers

   WeimaranerluvinRN replied to WeimaranerluvinRN's topic in Relations

   I've been a nurse for 14 years and have just never worked with people like this. I don't help her (with chart checks and non-patient care duties) when she's drowning because she never helps me (when she gives me the shift change admit or fresh surgic...

3. Difficult lazy coworkers

   WeimaranerluvinRN posted a topic in Relations

   I'm struggling with a difficult lazy coworker who happens to be a charge nurse only because she has seniority at the organization not because of her work experience or skill or professionalism for that matter. I work in a small hospital. Yesterday I ...

6. Med reconciliation

   WeimaranerluvinRN replied to schoolforever's topic in General Nursing

   Med recs are so difficult. No one ever has a list or their pill bottles. Patients and families always say "The clinic has a list." "It hasn't changed since the last time I was here." I don't have access to the clinic at 5 am and most of the time it h...

8. bedside report

   WeimaranerluvinRN replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

   I personally like bedside report if a computer is available in the rooms. Nurses seem to stick to the facts when giving report rather than their opinion of the patient. Also, a good time to check alarms and incontinent patients so there is no he said...

    I'm a floor nurse and I'm on my feet 12+ hours a day for several days in a row. I find the best shoes for me are UnderArmour Brand with a built in foot sleeve. I have wide feet and they tend to stretch shoes out. This foot sleeve helps that. I also l...

    WeimaranerluvinRN replied to ladymaam's topic in LPN/LVN

    The hospital I work at has 2 LPNs on staff. One is IV certified the other is a new grad. Both worked as CNA's prior to becoming LPNs. The hospital doesn't advertise for LPNs that I know of. A lot of the meds have to be given IV and an RN must cover t...

13. How many of you had to make a change recently?

    WeimaranerluvinRN replied to AshtonsAunt76's topic in General Nursing

    You have not failed. I recently changed jobs twice in less than 6 months. I was asked to quit my job or be fired due to a conflict with a coworker (that had nothing to do with patient care) that I assumed had been settle after I and the coworker alon...

14. Having the "Right to Fall"

    WeimaranerluvinRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric

    The side rail issue has become a big one where I work. There was someone who got their head caught in a rail and died somewhere and I believe that is when this all came about. Most of our beds have half rails. Which are not considered a restraint as ...
