  1. Hey everyone!! I think I need a little reasurrance from you all. I have been an RN now for 2 years. Right from school I started working in Peds. There is no room for me to advance at my current job and I don't think I want to really continue my caree...
  2. Why do patients..??

  9. How do you sign?

  10. As an RN do you have your own pvt malpractice insurance?

  12. Crisis mode

    During my first weeks I got the best piece of advice from my preceptor that I still use everyday....During your shift, plan each moment as if your patient is going to code(which would take a goodhour of your time). So plan accordingly, have done what...
  13. IV push meds

    In my hospital it is policy to dilute morphine before iv push.....so i put the 1ml of morphine right into a 10cc flush and push that over 2 min. then flush with 5cc flush slowly...
  14. I've cried several times with patients and their families...even sometimes when patients are being discharged home and they are thanking me i have tears running down my face. One situation i remember was an older man in his 70's dx with small cell lu...
  15. Become friends with your CNA quickly! Triple check everything. Do not become too confident too quick. Do not run in the hallway unless it is an EMERGENCY, people get very scared. Always listen to the pt's family when they tell you "something doesn't ...
