  1. I wish I had a nickel for........

    I gotta go with Rain on this one. Our hospital policy is they don't go out to smoke. Too many times the doc has gone in to see a patient and they are not in the room, they're out smoking. I agree that we shouldn't waste taxpayer's money, but we sh...
  2. I wish I had a nickel for........

    Speaking of cigarrettes, what about the ones who want to know if it is ok to go out and smoke while they are waiting for lab results, or waiting for the doctor? (after they get to the room)
  3. I wish I had a nickel for........

    ooooh, I would be so tempted to smile for the camera!! (the smile without teeth---mooning) Unfortunately, probably would result in another patient---
  4. I wish I had a nickel for........

    Well, there's always the positive samsonite sign.

  6. Taking the NET

    Yes, except at the college I went to, (the other bccc), we were required to license as an LPN to continue in the program. We also had to do a summer rotation too, so we ended up with about 4 1/2 semesters of nursing. Some of the programs (like Hutch...
  7. HAZMAT for healthcare

    Training for me came from out of state. Our county diaster person (I am drawing a total blank on the title right now) mandated a list that was required for us to buy with the grant. We got to decide which company we used etc. We are planning a Lev...
  8. I wish I had a nickel for........

    Those programs sound really neat, but we are much too small to get something like that. Tried the "in order to take better care of you" approach, then you get, well, I have a blue pill for blood pressure and a pink pill for pain etc..... Gotta luv ...
  9. I wish I had a nickel for........

    I wish I had a nickel for every time a patient presents to the ER with an extensive list of medications, that of course doesn't have the list with them because we have it "on file". HELLO!!!!!!!
  10. HAZMAT for healthcare

    Isn't it though? I really dreaded going to the class until I got there, and once we got into it---what a neat area to be involved in. Has anyone from your hospital gone to the cobra training in Alabama? I hear that is really fun--a whole week and ...
  11. Taking the NET

    Ahhh, Is it a step program where you license as an LPN?
  12. Taking the NET

    I don't remember what the NET exactly had on it---but if I remember correctly it was a core of basic knowledge and skill and is a tool--not the final say in predicting success in the nursing program. Good Luck, don't sweat about it --I am sure you'...
  13. HAZMAT for healthcare

    I just attended a HAZMAT training last week. COOL COOL COOL!!! I am going to start on the policies for our facility soon, and am doing the training for the whole hospital. Any input?
  14. D&C's in the ER?

    Demerol only? Ouch!!! In our ER it is not done --- they go to OR. I can't imagine any of our docs even WANTING to do them in ER.
  15. Reducing misuse of Emergency Departments!

    Well, ummm, Maybe he was so endowed of that particular anatomy that it hung down that far?? :imbar Or maybe it was just a really tall toity.
