  1. How many females are "peeking" in this forum?

    I am peeking in right now, I couldn't resist the title and I work with a lot of men. I enjoy working with males.
  2. Mandating CRRN Certification

    We need to be a rehab nurse for 2 years, it is not mandatory right now, but it seem to be when we were trying to become a magnet status hospital, some rns passed and some fail, but they had enough to say "we have specialty nurses with certifications"...
  3. Need improvement on "close to time" charting and lingo for notes

    We have computers in the pt's room so I chart as I go, but this is also a problem to me because it is still time consuming to get to everyones room, then I make a note of the time and have to change the time of assessment in the computer. We have ca...
  4. FIM Scores

  5. FIM Scores

    Do the staff nurses for Rehab also do the fim scoring? We chart what the patient does as far as bathing eating, dressing, toileting ect... Share with me who submit your scorings.
  6. I Will Never Call Myself Just an LPN anymore!

    Good grief no wonder I know 5 people that stopped because of all the drama, go with your gut, try to explain the first situation, if it doesn't work go for option 2 and take a breathe, time flys, read up on mental health or mother baby, trauma to get...
  9. It took A&P 1 and 2 at my community college online, I was afraid at first but I was so happy it worked out. My exams were proct at the library.
  10. Past medical history - subjective or objective??

    I think subjective also, because only the patient can verify the information.
  11. anyone taken the EC Foundations of Gerontology exam?

    Not sure what you are looking for but remember everything is decreased with geriatrics, confusing and pain is not part of growing old. Age and risk factors - family relationship, afraid of losing freedom- diet, either use more salt or sugar, lose mu...
  12. At what age did you decide on nursing?

    I have always wanted to be a nurse, was a slacker in high school and a few semesters right after. I started seriously when I was your age and was a nurse at 28. You do things in your own time and you are right on time.
  13. Lasix

    Lasix gets rid of pulmonary edema also, I wonder if he had potassium ordered, because lasix is potassium wasting so after he starts getting rid of the fluid he will loose potassium or was it a one time order?
  14. I believe my co-workers have it in for me

    I hope you are gone by the time I post this. Go with your instincts. You are a new grad, find something else.
