4. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

   hopesgramcracker replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Medications

   No I'm an LPN for almost 4 years now and 2.5 on that floor. I am 44 though and don't sweat the small stuff and she knows it. When I first started there she made me cry and then laughed in my face. I heard she has done that to others as well, she i...

   hopesgramcracker replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Medications

   I never thought of that, she has written me up and been petty since day one. She likes the male nurses and new students, and likes to intimidate people. I have been around that block and have challenged her in the beginning so I think its a little...

   hopesgramcracker replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Medications

   It was a med that the pt gets every two hours, no one passed off any of their pts but we just told her where we would be and we had our phones with us. No adverse effects as a matter of fact it was just about a half hour early for the next dose. I ...

   hopesgramcracker posted a topic in Medications

   Ok I just got suspended because I didn't chart off on a med that I gave at 0745 last week. I didn't chart on it because the pt was on isolation so I couldn't take my computer in the room plus she was a tube feeder. I figured I would chart off on i...

10. Anyone use Studyguide 101 for fcca?

    hopesgramcracker posted a topic in Excelsior

    I noticed that studyguide 101 offers notes for the fcca, just wondering if anyone used them and are they worth it. I used them for all of my other testing and most were good but not sure if I should use them for the fcca. I am starting the fcca on ...

11. Burned out and hate nursing

    hopesgramcracker replied to RN1023's topic in Stress 101

    Wow RN1023 you really put into words what many of us are feeling. I am just an LPN but I do work on a med/surg floor at a hospital for a year and a half now and I feel your pain. I think that HouTx hit the nail on the head with management. I have ...

13. ordered to sign orders for previous 24 hours...for someone else

    hopesgramcracker replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in General Nursing

    I was never told about a "24 hour check" in school or when I had my two weeks of training so it's new to me. I work days so maybe our midnight shift does it. It's not often I see unsigned orders from the previous shift or past 24 hours but it does ...

    hopesgramcracker replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in General Nursing

    KelRn215, Just to clarify, when an order is placed, our HUC inputs it into the system if its a lab, x-ray,ct, u/s or faxes the order to pharmacy if its a med then it goes on the MAR, I never said that the orders did not get carried out or that I woul...

15. ordered to sign orders for previous 24 hours...for someone else

    hopesgramcracker replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in General Nursing

    NicuGal, we don't go throught the orders at change of shift, we just give report and do bedside rounds, but my last shift (the same day the manager told me this) I had charts with me and went over some of the orders with the oncoming nurse. I think ...
