1. How many CNAs do you have on your floor?

   rnpjop replied to crx971's topic in CNA/MA

   It's so true. I don't think it's thinking like a princess to expect that RNs not do CNA work. RNs just cannot do it all and do it well. When I worked on med-surg (left that in 2012) there were 30 pts. and we were lucky to have even one CNA. I felt li...

2. Nurses smoking e cigs at the station?

   rnpjop replied to richardgecko's topic in Professionalism

   Wow, I shouldn't be shocked at this I guess, but I am shocked! How unprofessional and I can't believe that anyone could get by w/ this. My kids and I were at a museum in DC last summer and someone had one. I think it is ridiculous and the people that...

   rnpjop replied to rnpjop's topic in General Nursing

   I tried to PM you back, again, but it still won't let me! Would you PM me your email address, so we can communicate that way? 80 is passing, btw.

4. HEDIS for 2015

   rnpjop replied to rnpjop's topic in General Nursing

   I applied w/ them and they called tonight. I took the online test and passed it. They said if I passed the test, to expect to hear from them mid-Dec. Fingers crossed. Thanks, again!

   rnpjop replied to rnpjop's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you! I wrote you a PM but it didn't get sent because I don't post enough on this board, apparently. I will check that company out. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me!

7. HEDIS for 2015

   rnpjop posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have seen some threads about HEDIS jobs but I don't think any recent ones. I applied for one w/ Verisk Oct. 1. A week later they emailed me and asked how many hours I could work and I emailed them back and haven't heard from them since. I told them...

8. What type of family member drives you craziest?

   rnpjop replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   The hoverer. Not too long ago had a 40 y.o. female pt. whose mother hovered over her like she was 5 yrs. old. The mother and the pt's husband gave me this "look" like I was automatically their enemy. Bizarre. Hellooooo, my goal is to actually help! ...

9. How do you feel about this?

   rnpjop replied to 1TachyRN's topic in General Nursing

   castlegates, I'm sorry. I meant to quote the person talking about germs! I think it was my kitty walking across my laptop that made me quote you instead. :heartbeat

10. How do you feel about this?

    Seriously, would you like a little cdiff w/ that cookie??? Beyond gross! Let's just pass those germs around, on a silver platter! :barf01:

11. Im miserable at my new job!!! HELP!

    rnpjop replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nurses who are snooty to you....well, it says a lot more about THEM, rather than you. Try and remember that, like the last poster said. There are people like that every where you go. Try to avoid those people-just don't waste your preciou...

12. Charge Nurses

    rnpjop replied to Maycee's topic in Med-Surg

    We have charge nurses, as well. They usually man the desk and take a lighter load of patients. They sign off on MD orders and deal w/ the staffing office, etc.

    rnpjop replied to nursewho's topic in Med-Surg

    Hi. I have been a nurse for 25 yrs. but have just gone to medsurg after being at a desk job for 12+ yrs. so I don't really have any advice cuz I'm in the same boat. I'm in my 5th week of orientation. I last worked in a hospital in '96. BUT, I will sa...
