2. Do you like team nursing?

   littleroxy79 replied to RN1263's topic in Med-Surg

   team nursing does suck, but i don't think it's all that bad. maybe i'm just used to it. we don't tape report anymore but use kardex's. we also get the vitals and give them to the LPN and she gives all the meds and does dressings, etc. if a problem ar...

   sometimes i think it's ADD or she's crazy. she just laughs randomly at nothing. i think sometimes she does things or says things just for someone to say something so she can get defensive. she is the only person like this. i have never met anyone els...

   she has been reprimanded by the head of critical care, but i don't know what the outcome has been because she's still here. she made a comment to us that she has a stack of paperwork on her. i just don't know what to do, but document. i love where i ...

5. Med Surge and Telemetry

   littleroxy79 replied to mollyz's topic in General Nursing

   that's how it is on our floor sometimes. but we have to be mostly selective because our unit is a swing unit for telemetry and intermediate care. in our intermediate care we get all of the critical drips, transplants, heart devices. but when the cens...

6. Do you like team nursing?

   littleroxy79 replied to RN1263's topic in Med-Surg

   We have team nursing at my hospital. for the most part, I work on a floor that is strictly RN. But sometimes we get pulled to another floor. the ideal is an RN, an LPN and a CNA. It depends on the census as far as the ratio goes. It could be anywhere...

7. Med Surge and Telemetry

   littleroxy79 replied to mollyz's topic in General Nursing

   i work on a telemetry floor. with our telemetry, we monitor all the "heart" patients, chest pain, arrhythmias, syncope, etc. any kind of cardiac history. basically the assessments are the same, but you have to monitor bps, weights, output/intake. i h...

9. Need Advice Regarding an Incompetent Nurse

   littleroxy79 replied to littleroxy79's topic in General Nursing

   the sad thing is that she has ALOT of write ups. but it seems like nothing is done. it's not like she has been just working there a year. it's been 3 years. you would think she had her organization skills down. she's always running around like a chic...

    littleroxy79 posted a topic in General Nursing

    i don't understand why the bad nurses still have jobs. i work with this one nurse who is pretty much incompetent. she has been a nurse for a long time, but she can't seem to get basic nursing down. she asks questions that a new RN would ask. she gets...

    littleroxy79 replied to Nursing28's topic in NCLEX

    don't feel bad. i had to take boards twice. got the biggest cold sore ever. i took all 265 and it took me 3 hours. i was the last person to leave the test site. this supervisor i know had to take it 5-6 times. so don't be discouraged. take the desigi...

    i am actually working with the RN tonight. this happened last year. we work on a telemetry/ step down unit. she was pulled to another tele floor. so we heard this from the other nurses working with her. one of her patients pumps was beeping so anothe...
