  1. Would you report possible diversion?

    You really are a unique little snowflake aren't you?
  2. Would you report possible diversion?

    I would, and have in the past. At the time I was mentioning some odd things to my charge whom I was friendly without about the new nurses taking extensively long breaks and returning acting odd. During her next long break management swarmed the unit ...
  3. Should I leave this racist town?

    Sadly, these things will occur. I've experienced it nursing in metropolitan cities. Some battles you don't have to show up for. There's no reason you can't start looking for your next position now. Anyone willing to to consider you for an interview w...
  4. How does it feel to have a Foley insertion?

    Depends oN the talent of the nurse inserting it. The one time l was awake for it l swear she forgot to use lubricant. I wanted to jump off the bed.
  5. Thank you for sharing this.
  6. I Should Be in Jail

    I recall my Peds rotation being the one l got my best feedback in way back in nursing school. Stories like this are why l chose to work with the elderly.
  7. Ha! I bet!
  8. At a previous employer some years ago our nurse managers would make rounds on new admissions within their 1st 24 hours. Apparently my elderly pt was upset that I just so happened to be born Black and she wasn't so happy to have that "N****r nurse tak...
  9. This is nothing. A GI doc I used to work with saved his wife's hardware from when she shattered her ankle. Once her pins and screws were removed he had them dipped in resin and had them made into a Xmas ornament and that was her Xmas gift that year....

    So sorry Nurse Beth!
  11. Mid-forties Nurse - Thinking about my future

    this explains a lot. The hospital system our doctors are associated with are still using Meditech. Us on the outpatient side switched to EPIC from Nextgen a year and a half ago. Boy to say its been a learning curve would be an understatement! When we...
  12. I don't see anything wrong with asking this question. My friend who does home hospice has been asking this for years. When I still worked bedside it was a routine admission question right along with "do you have stairs at home?" and "do you feel safe...
  13. Mid-forties Nurse - Thinking about my future

    The position I was going to take would have been on the system wide team of 'experts' on Cerner. My current position uses EPIC which dare I say it? Is much easier and intuitive to use.
  14. Mid-forties Nurse - Thinking about my future

    This is interesting Donnakhamm. When I was interviewing for my current Telephone Triage position I was also interviewing for a Clinical Informatics job.
  15. Just a regular ole nurse

    Lol. Thank you Beentheredonethat. Believe me I see it for what it is, I was was trying to keep my post happy, happy, joy, joy for those not quite as jaded. I'm actually no longer doing bedside care, right now I'm doing telephone triage for a large in...
