  3. Epic Training - Pros and Cons

    My current facility is attempting to go paperless using a program that is not EPIC. I would prefer to learn EPIC as it is larger and more compatible with government billing requirements. Our DR's are not happy that the new system is not EPIC, but h...

  5. Starting to find some aspects degrading

    THIS!! Unfortunately, lately, the family dissatisfaction has been the reason I have been pulled into the office. Again I say, my patient is safe, cared for, loved by me and still breathing. I will take the customer service lecture any day over com...
  6. What did your manager do for you?

    Don't focus on the negative, add a positive to every negative. Thank randomly for a job well done. Buy a coffee/tea/pop randomly. If possible answer a call light and complete the task, don't find someone and report the need if not necessary. Be a...

  8. who does the blood draws in your hospital?

    Six?!?!? I would consider that an easy day lol... Between post-ops and discharges I can have up to 15 in a day. I do enjoy the challenge and the amount of learning. I am only a 2 year old baby nurse on a busy ortho/urology/neph plus random med/su...

  10. What would help you love your job?

    Not working every other weekend because we have the staff to do every third or fourth weekend and getting called off during those weekends d/t low census. Not acting as a charge nurse with a full load of patients ranging from 4-12 at a time dependin...
  11. I worked as a bartender/waitress at a couple of different small town veterans/private clubs in my area. It was nice because the pay was higher than an average restaurant/bar job and I was able to study during slow periods. I had a whole team of "ol...
  12. Nurses desensitized to death?

    This week I have had the honor of taking care of a woman who has had a "hard" end of life. Unfortunately sometimes family is tired, caring for the elderly can be "exhausting". The hard part is.......If I have to Code her, I will puncture her heart....
  13. THIS!!!! I am part of the "non compassionate" group. I will take a "crusty old bat" that knows their stuff over the nurse that spends 25-30 mins appeasing the consumer, ouch, I mean patient, and facilitating their care and keeping them alive on my/ou...
  14. How much is too much when you catheterize

    Well.. Maybe the shiver from a good 'ol fashioned "pee chill" is the basis for some of the myth. I have seen a BP high and low after 1000 plus of urine and BM small to moderate without a vagal response (specifically related to SBO).... The body is ...
  15. Smokers need not apply?

    Smoker. Rn. Hard worker. Stressed. Work 12's and enjoy the fact that my facility is smoke free. Smells irritate certain illness and I am proud that when I decide to divulge the fact I smoke to a select few that they say "WOW never knew!!" (Again ...
