2. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   pajoopie1 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   I had this patient that was soooo stinky. Stinkiest I'd ever have. You could smell him from the door. And it was this REALLY weird smell. I had never smelled it before. On Saturday I told him he needed to bathe and told the NA. The pt stated he...

3. Terminated over the phone.

   pajoopie1 replied to hellokitty9's topic in General Nursing

   Whoa! Reading your second (or third?) post on this thread, I can see that you will be an awesome nurse because you will learn from your mistakes. The post shows maturity that some people NEVER gain, either professionally or personally. Good for you...

4. Missed Med

   pajoopie1 replied to Losingfaith's topic in General Nursing

   Glad we helped. Keep your chin up. You'll do great! The fact that you care so much about your error PROVES without a doubt that you are, and will be, a great nurse!

5. I really screwed up on an interview

   pajoopie1 replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Job Hunt

   I usually email the person, thank them for the opportunity to interview, and state that you would like "feeback on your interview" to help you in the future. Most people will only take the time to email you back one sentence but sometimes it can be v...

6. Missed Med

   pajoopie1 replied to Losingfaith's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the other posters... We are all human. EVERYBODY makes mistakes. The nurse (or any other professional) that looks down on or talks bad about people who make mistakes is a liar and hypocrite. You are human. You will mess up. We all do...

7. I lied to the state surveyor

   pajoopie1 replied to tammietan's topic in General Nursing

   So sorry that happened to you! What a crazy situation. I would call your state board and ask them if it is possible to "tag" a license or whatever. I'm not sure that's something they can do. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you should do but I'm gu...

8. Need Advice for New Grad Resigned after 5 months

   pajoopie1 replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with what's already been posted. Also, I would not mention the "tattling." If you say people "tattled" it makes it sound like you did something wrong and you wanted it covered up. I'm NOT saying that that is the case. But I'm just saying t...

9. should I withdraw??

   pajoopie1 replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

10. MD orders via computer

    pajoopie1 replied to gracedRN's topic in Safety

    I love computer-physician order entry. Studies show that it decreases med errors, for all the same reasons mentioned in other posts.

12. Spanish to English sheet?

    pajoopie1 replied to pajoopie1's topic in General Nursing

    You just had to click on the "Medical Spanish to English..." link. But thanks for the feedback. I added directions at the bottom so that other people can easily see how to download the file. Thanks... let me know if there is anything you think sho...

13. Spanish to English sheet?

    pajoopie1 replied to pajoopie1's topic in General Nursing

    I also work at a state hospital. More than 50% of our L & D patients are latinos. (I'm not an L&D nurse though. I am am in med-surge nursing). Not sure how attachments work but here's the link: http://bedpans.wordpress.com/free-medical-spa...

14. Spanish to English sheet?

    pajoopie1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys, I was searching the internet for a Spanish to English translation sheet for nurses and patients to use. I couldn't find any so I made my own for our hospital. We are now using it on quite a few units. If you would like a copy of it, let me...
