  1. Incident Report

    Hello: I am a relatively experienced nurse, and got a job at a new hospital in the new city I’m in. I had a patient on a heparin gtt, and per protocol, I stopped the gtt for one hour and restarted at a lower rate during the night. Just the us...
  2. feedback?

    Just wanted feedback regarding a situation that still hurts and confuses me. My nurse manager 'shared' with me one morning that the two clinical care specialists (RNs) on our floor were talking negative about me. She didn't explain exactly what they...
  3. boundary violation

    Is it a boundary violation to buy something from a patient's family member, e.g. Mary Kay, Avon, etc?
  4. neuro checks on A&O patients at night

    What do you think of the need for sleep in a stable patient? Does your neuro surge team/resident on call come and fully awaken an A&O stable patient in the middle of the night to do a neuro check (i.e. lights fully on, fully awakening the patien...

  10. Thanks for the replies. Wondering why a coworker would ask me about this, especially 'not in private'....made for awkwardness.
  11. In a spur of the moment thing, I applied for an open position on another unit online, then decided not to take it. A week or so later, a co-worker asked me about it, at the desk in front of multiple staff. I had told no one about this. She said ...
  12. co worker sharing her concerns

    actually, the complainer was another new staff, who had previously been an na on a different unit, she is a relatively new grad. my orientee looked at the md like he was from the mon, not me, and commented to me that she didnt see what his problem ...
  13. co worker sharing her concerns

    Thanks for the replies. I never thought about hearsay, but you are right, it is...She was not privy to the phone call, nor the 2nd, more sincere, apology, which she wasnt around for. And she didnt bother to ask me about it, like 'what happened?'......
  14. Are you sure the nurses were glaring at you? Make time whe you know that particular nurse is on, and go and talk with her about it. It will help you process this situation, which sounds like its upsetting for you. I am sure you will feel better o...
  15. sometimes you need to go through steps to get an accurate picture of a situation. For some reason, the thermometer you had wasnt reading accurately, perhaps. you took the temps, and did what they requested. i know parents can be very high stress if...
