1. Why scrubs?

   Care4U391 replied to dancer_meggs's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I think you are correct in your thinking about scrubs. Now all the hospitals want the nurses and techs to wear them. They also demand specific colors for each specialty, OR, Medical/Surgical etc. Some hospitals are going as far as to expect your cre...

2. Nurse Fired For Refusing To Get a H1N1 Vaccine or Wear Mask

   Care4U391 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in COVID

   What if you get the H1N1 vaccination and then get sick, will the hospital pay you with your earned sick pay, or your earned time off ? I would think not ,because you sign and agree to take a chance with the vaccine when you get it. Health workers a...

3. question about pediatric/adolescent physicals

   Care4U391 replied to twahls65's topic in Pediatric

   I work in a peds office and we do not have the older kids undress, unless they have a rash and it needs to be looked at, but even then we do not usually do this. The babies get down to a dry diaper and we provide a blanket for them to be covered wi...

4. few questions about clinic working

   Care4U391 replied to Mommy Of Two 87's topic in Ambulatory

   Care4U391 replied to qaqueen's topic in Endocrine

   I agree that you should have called the doctor. The insulin needed to be given . Was the patient on an IV? I would think so as he was NPO plus had an infection?

7. Calling experienced rn's!

   Care4U391 replied to g61j's topic in Med-Surg

   Abusive doctors are not to be tolerated and should be reported. At our hospital you can report the doctor. I would talk to your manager and fill a complaint against that doctor. Abusive behavior by a doctor is not professional and should be reported,...

8. Office nurses ARE real nurses!!

   Care4U391 replied to BSN75's topic in Ambulatory

   I give better care to my patients at the clinic than I do at the Hospital. I help to prevent serious problems for my patients . It is a wonderful feeling knowing I have at least made people think about their choices. We provide more education tha...

9. I work in a hell hole!!!

   Care4U391 replied to LilNurse2b143's topic in General Nursing

   I am sorry to hear that nothing ever changes on the Med/Surg floors. It is a lot of work and hard to handle night after night,but hopefully it will change as it usually does as more nurses are hired. It sounds like you need some more experienced nu...
