Experienced Nurse vs. Graduate Nurse

It's funny, true and sad all at the same time. (I'm not a new grad or a very experienced nurse)

ROFL!!

You just reminded me of a new grad I worked with that had a dementia patient that literally screamed and yelled all day and night. I checked the pts. med kadex and saw an order for Haldol. I asked her why she wasn't giving it. She repleid she was taught not to chemically restrain a pt. "Restrain him? That poor guy hasn't SLEPT in two days! Help him!" She gave it and everyone enjoyed a good nights rest.

I'm not even done my schooling yet, but I can still laugh at it. But I work as an NA and my sister is a nurse, so I guess I've been exposed to experienced nurses.

I just have 1 question...what is ROFL? I know it stands for something funny....?

I graduated this past May. I would have to disagree with your last comment; I think this was hysterical.

I am learning not to chart too much, but I most definitely love to run to the codes!!!

One other thing to go in this group....

A Graduate Nurse believes the lab when they call and tell you the speciman clotted off....an Experienced nurse knows that the lab either lost the speciman or left it out so long they could not use it. :cool:
