  1. RN with 25+ years burnout. What next?

    Virtual nursing could be an option.
  2. Virtual Nursing

    Alot of hospital systems are going to this model of nursing. I just started my virtual position. It helps the bedside nurse by freeing up time for them to medicate patients or the actually take a break. My hospital is hiring for positions that will b...
  3. You should also talk to your manager about this toxic work environment and tell her what you have been going thru. If she isn't sympathetic, look for another job.
  4. I've always been told, "you teach people how to treat you". Sounds like you were sticking up for yourself and teaching her that she cannot get away with this behavior. Except for the yelling, you did the right thing! You can get her in trouble for ye...
  5. Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    Agreed! and since you are the supervisor and will be doing the investigation..a separate note for that is were all the other info about the narcan should be documented.
  6. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    Hmmm, while I agree that some of the students are immature and not prepared, this does not mean that this situation did not happen. Professors are flawed people too! Maybe you had a glowing experience in your nursing school but not all profesors and ...
  7. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    Exactly!! Now that you know, you should help the students to get the ball rolling to report these professors (I use that word very loosly) to the school and media.
  8. FT staff floating to COVID units and then back to dementia unit

    I doubt that they have a leg to stand on. I say this only because it has already happened on the unit that I work at in a hospital (big hospital in the NE). We are a non COVID unit BUT we have staff that is floating to us from having floated to a COV...
  9. I Have No Words

    Nursing is a 24 hr job! Whatever you dont finish gets passed onto the next shift. Unfortunatly the only way to shut down theses "bullies" is to call her out. I've done this exact same thing when I couldnt get an IV, ask another nurse on the floor/cal...
  10. New Onset Afib

    At the very least the patient should have a monitor on and ideally be on a cardia floor.
  11. Med passes

    Did I say that I actually said this??? No, I did not! and the fact that you are a nurse and you would report another nurse for "perceived" rudeness says alot about you! Ive seen your type, you come into the hospital because a relative is admitted and...
  12. Med passes

    Or "lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part"! In other words, you should have asked all your questions when I was just in your room 5 minutes ago!!
  13. Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    This nurse has already decided how she is going to interact with you judging by this statement. I would ask to be changed to another preceptor, who knows this could be her first time precepting someone and the manager could be trying to teach her how...
  14. Help my first job feels like a nightmares

    It is simple, I learned it and so can you. You need to combine some of the due times to make the med pass manageable. If you have meds due at 11/12/1 do the med pass at 12 and give them at one time, its ok if some are a little early and some are a li...
  15. Help my first job feels like a nightmares

    Yes, It is normal. To answer your other question about getting your rythm down. LTC's and STR's usually have med passes that are at a certain times. If you work days it would be at 9,12 and 2pm. The evening shift is usually 6 and 9pm. I worked in a f...
