  1. Squirting your co-worker with NS flush is amusing on a slow night. Having said co-worker shoot KY jelly more than 10 feet into your thick, curly, long hair is not as much fun.
  2. Does this schedule exist for an LPN?

    When I was in school, I worked Fri 10p-6a, sat 2p-6a, sun 2p-6a, then school m-f 0745-1445. I was a single parent of 2 toddlers, and was only able to keep up that pace for a semester. Where I work, the weekend nurses work the baylor program. They wor...
  3. Best one sentence handoff report

    SSDD... on a LTC pt that is never happy w/ anyone or anything
  4. ? on drawing PT/INR

    Ooooh, I have never seen that machine before. Ours are still being sent out to the lab. Would be awesome to just do ourselves.
  5. Albumin Reaction

    I'm a little confused. She developed the reaction shortly after the drip was started. So that means she hadn't received the lasix yet, right???
  6. how many shifts in a row?

    I used to work 7p-7a 6 days on, 8 days off. I was younger then and I loved it. Think it would kill me now
  7. That Feeling

    It's been three days, and I still cannot keep the smile off of my face. I was recently switched shifts and stations at work (working day shift on a LTC unit, whereas I was the night nurse on a rehab unit). I've been on this unit for 2 weeks now, and ...
  8. Is that my med error?

    You noted the order, you transcribed it correctly on the MARs, you started the first of the additional 3 IV doses, and the other nurse missed the next dose. No, it is not your error.
  9. Reapply a Fentanyl Patch?

    If it were me, I would've reapplied it by securing it w/ either a tegaderm or an opsite.
  10. Do you interrupt report to give pain meds?

    I too am one of those nurses that medicate before shift change, and let the pts know that shift change will be happening at such and such times. I do not interrupt report to medicate. To me, it's no different than if I was in a room w/ another pt, th...
  11. Nursing shifts: Is this fact or fiction?

    My facility works 8hr shifts, Mon-Fri for 6-2 and 2-10, and 10-6 (what I work) is 4 on 2 off (comes out to getting a Sat/Sun off every 6 weeks). It really sucks. Because of the way my schedule fell, when it's my weekend off, that's my short payday (6...
  12. Do you do venipunctures as a nurse?

    I graduated from my LVN program in 02 and part of our cirriculum was IV therapy, and we had to be IV certified to graduate. I have worked places with and without IV teams and labs. I currently work in a skilled rehab setting, and I start LOTS of IVs ...
  13. How to cope when it's one of your own

    Thank you so much for your reply.
  14. We had a wonderful co-worker code on us last night. She's in the hospital still unresponsive and on a vent. I've had other coworkers who have passed (both expected and not), but never one where it happened right in front of us and who we worked so ha...
  15. Holy Abscess! Not for the faint of heart

    Does it make me look bad that I had to share this with all my nurse friends???
