1. Documenting Others Meds

   Mr Sacdiff replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Activism

   That's about what was done. Except they got rid of our secretaries so the nurses did it. Thanks for all the responses.

2. Documenting Others Meds

   Mr Sacdiff replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Activism

   Everything is documented on paper. I'm told it has to be duplicated in the EMR for billing purposes. We are now being told there will be hell to pay if we do not do it.

3. Documenting Others Meds

   Mr Sacdiff posted a topic in Activism

   My workplace currently underwent a downtime where our electronic medication record was unavailable. Now that it is back up two days later our supervisor is requesting that we chart medications that we did not even administer. I been told by seasoned ...

4. does the PVT still work?

   Mr Sacdiff replied to Lab22's topic in NCLEX

   The trick worked for me. They changed it so you must submit a payment, but if you passed it will not charge you and it will give you the good message. If you fail, it will charge you. I had an old card with 0 balance otherwise I wouldn't have risk...

5. DaVita Village

   Mr Sacdiff replied to Islnd_RN's topic in Urology

   Raises are 1.5%, but based on reviews, an FA can give some teammates less and others more. It's funny how many people complain about this, but don't go elsewhere. Most places aren't giving as good of raises or any raise (see: economy) and if they ar...

6. Nurses Being Made to Tech?

   Mr Sacdiff replied to westieluv's topic in Urology

   Getting paid a LOT more to do a tech job is not something I would complain about in the current economy.

7. Interested in becoming a CNA

   Mr Sacdiff replied to vpbernal's topic in CNA/MA

   Totally depends on your state. Here in Florida you don't even need to attend a program. You can just challenge the test.

8. When to use gloves

   Mr Sacdiff replied to Deenice's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm pretty sure the only one you NEED gloves for is foot care, but I wore gloves for any skill. They cannot fail you if you wear gloves. :) And in the real world, I wear them all the time, because I deal with people who have all kinds of nasty stuff...

9. Sitter breaks

   Mr Sacdiff replied to permanentnights's topic in Relations

   Sitting is typically pretty easy at my hospital. The aides cover the sitters for the most part. If you have a combative patient or one that refuses to remain in their bed or chair and is a fall risk, it can be very frustrating. If they have a sitt...

10. Nurses working as CNAs

    Mr Sacdiff replied to nolanurse88's topic in Relations

    Once in awhile (especially now, during "season" here in Florida) our RN's will fill in and do "Aid Work". Most of them do not mind, because they are simply helping with ADL's and such and can report things off to the nurse responsible for that patie...

11. Davita vs Fresenius

    Mr Sacdiff replied to ffliper27's topic in Urology

    So glad my wife is with Davita and she loves it. She has always gotten some type of bonus as a floor nurse, but now she's an FA and the bonuses are a huge help now that I'm in between careers. From everything I hear, it is extremely hard work and t...

12. Living in upstate New York sick of the cold going somewhere warm for RN school.

    Mr Sacdiff replied to MichaelDoherty's topic in Male Students

    Southwest Florida has schools that aren't as competitive as other areas. And you will not beat the gulf coast beaches of southwest Florida.

13. Becoming an Endocrine Nurse

    Mr Sacdiff posted a topic in Endocrine

    I am currently in nursing school and have a bit to go, but I thought I'd ask this here. How do you go about getting into endocrine and more specifically pediatric endocrinology? I don't believe there are too many doctors in my area that practice th...

    Mr Sacdiff replied to deetrain's topic in CNA/MA

    Wow. You are going into the medical field. This isn't world of warcraft kid.

15. Cna instructor:diarrhea of the mouth

    Mr Sacdiff replied to deetrain's topic in CNA/MA

    With this thread and the "taco" thread that the OP posted, I cannot take him seriously. Not to mention, if you're referring to a vagina as a taco on a health professional site, I would call you out in the middle of class too. I'm all for instructor...
