  1. Just a couple questions....

    I have also wondered about this. What I do (not saying it's correct): If the patient is on it every four hours (as needed) I don't generally get a whole set of vitals, I just put the pulse ox on them and leave it there for about 15 minutes to make su...
  2. Vented tubing for lipids?

    When I worked night shift I hung quite a few lipids. Lipids usually comes in a smaller bag and I did not use 'vented tubing.' You do have to use a filter, though. Maybe the book has a typo and meant 'filtered' and not 'vented' ?
  3. I choose 3. Pay off extra each month. That way there's credit history and also savings on interest and in the bank. (:
  4. A rant from the night shift.

    Oh... about the big bold 7am - nursing is 24/7 just in case you hadn't realized. I do not agree about the "real nurse is here now" attitude though. Sorry. A nurse is a nurse.
  5. Is this legal?

    Yes, it is legal for them to search their property anytime they wish.
  6. My Facebook is private. Not public. Only my friends can see ANYTHING on my profile. (: So I don't care what I put on there.
  7. Really... if I understand you were required to sign off orders that you didn't take? Easy solution. Just make sure that they were ordered/carried through then you can sign it off. If you see that it hadn't been carried through/done then there's a pro...
  8. Do Nurses eat their....lunch?

    Everyday I take my lunch break. I usually go around 12 or 12:30. I have never missed a lunch and never will. (: -knocks on wood-
  9. The purpose of the TLC round is to have a member of staff to go into every patient room on our floor/unit and ask them if they need help to the bathroom, if they need pain medication, if they need their belongings, etc. Our facility started it to hel...
  10. I start at 6:55am. Hide my vital machine in the bathroom and put my name on a med-cart. Round up them night nurses and get report. (After all - why WANT a day nurse who drags in 10 after 7 and come get report 20 after? You want to go home and I want ...
  11. Washing those scrubs?

    Oh, I forgot to add that I throw my dirty scrubs in my hamper with all my other clothes. My BF has his own seperate laundry basket for whenever he does his laundry (never...). Lol So, the dirty scrubs sit for about a month UNLESS they get soiled whil...
  12. Friday the 13th - Any madness?

    I had a normal day except DCF came to investigate the caregiver of one of my patients and the son was freaking out in the hallway because a police officer came with the lady and was demanding I go into the room and report back to him what they were a...
  13. HELP...I really messed up

    If it's your first time then you may not get into too much trouble. Just call your job and ask to speak with your supervisor on your floor and them tell you were doing your laundry and found a PCA Morphine and you need to bring it back. Tell them it'...
  14. Skirts in the hospital...

    Oh, what a typo I made!!!
  15. When will people learn NOT to say the "Q" word...

    Yeah, I've said it a few times and the charge nurse would be "Sssshhhh!!!!"
