1. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I say Iron like "arn." And my cousin Byron was always called "Barney" because we pronounced it "Barn." *Naomi Grace*

2. Is Tramadol part of your Narc count?

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

   We use an AccuDose where I work, and the meds kept in their are either the controlled substances (those ones will come up as a narc discrepency), emergency meds like Nitro (no count discrepencies, but you have to count how many are left when you take...

3. Simple things new nurses or experiece nurses are not doing?

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to RN28MD's topic in Med-Surg

   The last night I worked, I walked into a room, and my patient with a trach had no suction catheters or Yankaur at the bedside. Her tube feeding was empty (and alarming). Is it that difficult to ensure that frequently used supplies are replenished ...

4. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm very sorry for this, morte, but I have to admit that reading these words caused me to choke on my tea. It also reminded me that I haven't had applesauce in a long time, and Musselman's is good stuff. I think I need to go to bed! Back to our ori...

   Exactly. I came back to add what you just stated. Thanks for doing it for me! :) Naomi Grace RN

6. Shady shift change

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to 86toronado's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think this applies in this case. The OP says that it wasn't yet 7 PM...which I gather is the earliest the nurses could have clocked out...no one was staying over his or her time. I guess I missed the part about the night shift nurses being...

7. My pt accused my coworker of taking her Percocets! (long)

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

   What I understood fromt he original post was that the other nurse had been in the room with the OP when she tried to get the Oxycodone out of the Pyxis to begin with (and told the OP that she needed to go to another Pyxis for it), so she knew that it...

8. Let's Hear It for Med Surg!

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

   The thing about MedSurg nurses, we have SKILLS! Last night, I had quite the variety - a trach/peg tube pt. who was nonverbal and a complete care, a pt on BiPap admitted with hypertensive crisis and neuro issues, a sickle cell-er with tons of pain m...

9. My hospital's new PPE policy!

   YngAnabaptistRadical replied to Chewie_123's topic in General Nursing

   Sadly I have no advice. But I am appalled! I'm pretty sure this is all to save a few bucks. Everyone here is awesome, so I'm sure you'll receive some great advice. I just wanted to let you know that I think it's nuts, too! Naomi Grace RN

10. HIPAA VIOLATION!

    YngAnabaptistRadical replied to mehart2001's topic in General Nursing

    I am guilty of your ex's travesties as well. In fact, after I read this I decided to see what meds I had in my "nurse box" (my mom has a box for the express purpose of me emptying out my pockets every morning when I arrive home). I have...Senna, C...

11. How many of you are on prescription drugs for anxiety, depression, mental health?

    YngAnabaptistRadical replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I am thanking God for this thread right now, I need it! You see...I am right now going through withdrawal from Geodon. I have Bipolar Spectrum d/o, and since my diagnosis nine months ago, I have been on a low dose of Geodon to stabalize my moods. H...

12. We're number one! We're number one! (For falls)

    YngAnabaptistRadical replied to YngAnabaptistRadical's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input, everyone! I actually don't think hourly rounding is silly; if nothing else, it's a reminder to check on your patients who aren't "ringers." And we do our rounding! Management claims our rounding is ineffective and we're too b...

13. Ever have a major crush on a doctor

    YngAnabaptistRadical replied to ninaldunn's topic in Relations

    Let me preface this by saying that I am boy-crazy! I develop crushes on men from all walks of life! So naturally, being a nurse and working around doctors, I would develop a few on them! I spent an entire summer desperately infatuated with an Inter...

    Thank you for sharing that, and also for getting one of my favorite Newsboys songs stuck in my head! Naomi Grace, RN
