DITTO! I am 8 months in and am wanting something else.

At my clinic (30 chairs) all nurses are required to be BLS and ACLS certified. All PCTs are required to be BLS certified. A code sheet is made out weekly (sometimes daily) as to who does what in the...

I work in a 30 unit center with most chairs filled at each shift (we run 2 shifts per day/6 days per week). There is a definite "power struggle". The techs think the nurses do nothing but sit and...

not sure as to the answer for your question, but i own a card iii steth. i received it my last year in nursing school as a birthday present. suffice it to say that i love :heartbeat:heartbeat it. my...

Had that problem here in TN . . . places begging for nurses -- but ONLY if you had experience. Being 40 years old and having a stable work history and mentors singing my praises to administrators, I...

care plans? i hate them. not because they take so much time and effort, but because i do not feel that i have been properly guided as to how to create an excellent care plan. i have the ideas in my...

Thank you! I thought that was the case, but was unsure! Another quick question, she has me doing the dx of "risk for ineffective protection" based on the pt's decreased WBC count. This is a new dx...

As it goes in the medical (and legal) field . . . my instructor changed the pt. for whom I was doing a care plan [and the one who was discharged halfway through the first day]. Soooo very much my...

I think you hit the nail on the head! I have to quit thinking like a doctor and remember to think like a nurse. All I saw were "risk for"s and what you stated makes my brain turn in a different...

Yes, I know about the 5th VS and yes, I know that non-communicative patients "communicate" through these VS. I thought that I had mentioned that his pain was one of my high priority nursing dxs, but...
