4. Why do nurses chart in 3rd person?

   relgis15 replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

   this is absolutely horrible advice. i have worked in a number of technical arenas from information technology to nursing to engineering etc. it is never okay to write in 1st person! not only does it make the writer sound like an idiot, but it exposes...

6. Why do nurses chart in 3rd person?

   relgis15 replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

   Mainly because we observe the patient from a third person perspective. Luckily for you, I minored in english so I will give some insight. First person is generally reserved for informal writing. When writing in a professional context, third person i...

   No need for all those tears. I guarantee it is going to happen again. Just calm down.

   relgis15 replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in Relations

   Everybody walks on egg shells. Even the patients tremble when they reach for the call light. It's great. Of course I'm just kidding, but for some reason I'm in a great mood tonight. It must be the mountain dew.

9. Personal advice needed!

   relgis15 replied to bailee4's topic in General Nursing

    relgis15 replied to OlderRNinGA's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but she is a nurse, and she did it anyway. If I understood the original posting correctly she did it with a prescription for percocet (A better, more effective drug) in her hand. I mean she could have avoided all of this at the drive up Walgree...

13. Failed pre-employment drug screen

    relgis15 replied to OlderRNinGA's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think I can give you any sympathy here. This was a stupid mistake, and the object is to learn from it. The lesson here is NEVER!! take prescription meds that are for someone else. I would honestly be shocked if the hospital hired you.
