1. Is this common with nurses and doctors?

   usetimewisely replied to usetimewisely's topic in Medications

   This does give a different perspective. I hadn't considered that they could possibly be respecting my input. That's actually kinda nice. I can think of a few right of the top of my head that always say thank you when I call them, after my (sometimes...

2. Is this common with nurses and doctors?

   usetimewisely replied to usetimewisely's topic in Medications

   Thanks for all the responses. I suppose half of the issue is knowing a persons preference. Some let me give a full SBAR report, some don't want to hear it all, instead just get to the point. Then there are days where it seems that they INTENTIONALLY ...

3. Is this common with nurses and doctors?

   Ok, so I've been with my current employer now for a while. There is still lots for me to learn, but I'm really trying to hold my weight even though I've been working for less than a year. I think I'm doing ok, but one thing I have noticed: when I col...

   I wanted to ask you if this was a class or course that was created within your facility, or is it something readily available for me to look up? We can possibly benefit from this at my job.

6. Allergies and running codes

   usetimewisely replied to usetimewisely's topic in Medications

   Ok, thanks yal. Helps me quite a bit. I call myself mentally preparing for a code as the primary nurse. I think I'd feel better if I could do a mock code. Where I work, we don't do those. So, on to the next best thing, I use my imagination. Now that ...

7. Allergies and running codes

   usetimewisely posted a topic in Medications

   Ok, so lately, I have been struggling with how to be prepared if I ever have to run a code on one of my patients. I do a good job with learning their history, and reporting changes during my shift. But, in a true code, how to you address a patient's...

8. How should I approach my coworker?

   usetimewisely replied to usetimewisely's topic in New Nurse

   Yeah, its like something funny in my mind happens. I feel like if I say something to upset anybody, I'll feel the wrath! They are very judgemental of each other. They smile and all, but they voice what they have to "clean up." I don't like walking on...

9. How should I approach my coworker?

   usetimewisely replied to usetimewisely's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for the response. One point in time, that's exactly what I thought was happening. So, I started writing down more specifics with her. But even with that, I have had to tell her to slow down. She'll fly through previous medical history, allergi...

10. How should I approach my coworker?

    usetimewisely posted a topic in New Nurse

    This is my first post here, maybe someone can give me some advice. I started working as a new grad in the ICU this summer and was so happy! All of my efforts led up to being an ICU nurse. Not to use as a stepping stone for something else, but to a...
