   SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in Cardiac

   I don't believe there was an order to hold the Plavix but on our floor it is protocol to hold lovenox and aspirin before a surgical procedure unless told otherwise. It wasn't just the nurses fault. It was a number of people.

2. Need some advice

   SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in Cardiac

   You're right! At our facility nurses write each other up for things that are not even worth it (such as not restocking the medication cart with syringes and alcohol pads...the supply room is 2 feet from the nurses station) that I forgot the main reas...

3. Need some advice

   SJE RN posted a topic in Cardiac

   I work on a Cardiac Stepdown unit. I work nights. My pt went for a PPM insertion. The day nurse had given the pt lovenox, asa, plavix prior to the procedure. After the procedure on my shift the pt bled out. It was a mess. The nurse manager came in...

4. I hate being a nurse

   SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in Career Support

   I need to vent once again. So my hospital has come up with this stupid rule. The tech's are not allowed to do vital signs, fingersticks or EKGs. I work on a step down telemetry unit (get all the thoracic, CABG that are stable). We are always short st...

5. I hate being a nurse

   SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in Career Support

   Most of the nurses I work with are seasoned and not welcoming at all. I'm not a new graduate. I'm not an expert either. I'm young, I started working as a nurse with my BSN at 22. It's hard to work in an environment where there is no teamwork. I'm not...

6. I hate being a nurse

   SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in Career Support

   Makes me feel a little better that I'm not the only one feeling this way. I used to go into work with my mom back in the 80's early 90's for bring your child to work day. I remember loving what she did and told myself this is exactly what I wanted. H...

7. I hate being a nurse

   SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in Career Support

   I just started this job in July (kind of stuck because I can't move anymore until a year). The hospital I worked for closed (my co-workers were so supportive). This new place is horrible. We are always short staffed. Most of the nurses are horrible. ...

8. I hate being a nurse

   SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in Career Support

   I guess I should move around and see what works. I got into PA school and Nursing school and chose to do nursing. I think that's one of my biggest regrets. Hopefully, working as an NP might be a little better than bedside nursing.

   I've been a nurse for a few years now

10. Need some advice about charting (RN)

    SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in General Nursing

    This RT does this all the time. He charts pt refused (when he didn't even go into the room). It's funny cause nurses are the only ones that have to wear tracking devices at my facility. This particular RT hates waiting for pts if they have to use the...

11. Need some advice about charting (RN)

    SJE RN replied to SJE RN's topic in General Nursing

    I hate mentioning names but it is our hospital policy. I have to list the name of the person notified whether it is a doc, pharmacist, respiratory therapist, even lab. I quoted what the pt had told me because he said I am going to report you and the ...

12. Need some advice about charting (RN)

    SJE RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    My pt calls me into the room and requests a nebulizer treatment. I call Respiratory Therapy and the guy screams at me at the top of his lungs saying he will come when he can. My pt is getting really anxious. Pt complained saying that the Respiratory ...

    Hi Nursing21RN, I was offered a Tele position at North Shore so I took it. I interviewed with HR and haven't heard back.

14. LTC is making me hate nursing!!!

    SJE RN replied to Angeljho's topic in Geriatric

    I'm a new grad and just started working at LTC in November. I've applied to numerous hospitals and was not able to land a job. I have my BSN and I was wrong to think that would help me land a hospital job. I'm miserable. I hate going into work. They ...

    SJE RN replied to PurellGirl's topic in New York

    Do they send you right away to the Nurse Manager after the initial interview with the Nurse Recruiter? I interviewed with the Nurse Recruiter yesterday and I was told next week I will be meeting with a Nurse Manager. So I don't know =/
