  1. I agree with the previous poster. It was not her call to not code him?? You did fine OP, sometimes there is just nothing we can do.
  2. Drug Legalization

    I agree with legalization of marijuana, not cocaine and harder drugs.
  3. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

  4. Why am I now the enemy?

    Our ER nurses dont usually bring the pt. either, it's usually a tech. I'm sure they transport them to ICU though if that's where the pt. it being admitted to.
  5. Why am I now the enemy?

    Since I work nights, the admitting doc almost never sees the patient before they come to me, all the orders I spoke of previously are ER orders. The ones for the floor are ordered by the ER doctor and are put on "hold". Im talking about the orders th...
  6. Why am I now the enemy?

    I work the floor and I completely understand the ER nurse has less time for "fluff". the only time I do get a bit snippy (im also pregnant) is when orders that are ordered hours previously are not done such as antibiotic administration, blood culture...
  7. Can't get a hold of Dr.!

    I always try to remember that doctors, just like nurses, are human too. When something like this happens in my hospital I would just call the NP on call if the doctor signed off on NPs, but of course not all facillities have this.

  11. I hate what's happening to nursing...

  12. What do you do if your friend is "THAT patient?"

    I cant stand when people act this way! When my FIL was in my hospital, on MY UNIT, my MIL would complain constantly. It got on my last nerve! I would probably give the friend a piece of my mind because that's just how I am. But defriending her is a g...
  13. another dilemma.. when do i ever learn???

    yeah, agree with above posts. I can see your position but in the end you did write "V.O" when in fact you did not get a verbal order.
  14. Patients that make you love your job.

    i loved a patient i had last week too! it really refreshes you go have a nice, normal, grateful patient!
  15. Does Upper Management Even Have a Clue?

    that is horrible. i feel for you. when i was new there was a nurse on day shift that loved to make me feel dumb. I dreaded giving report to her in the mornings. really now that i think back, it is because she was insecure in herself, talking down to ...
