  1. Lehigh Regional Medical Center

    Good point southern. Personally, I'd be happy to work at Lehigh, everything you said is absolutely correct. The other hugely monopolizing organization is just that...toxic. I've not met many people that are particularly happy there as most would be...
  2. it sounds more like a legal/confidentiality issue. if your a student precepting, and not already hired preception, theres huge issue with you tip toeing around in the charts. likely your not covered to have access to those things.
  3. Need advice please

    Go for the job you want. If you don't get it this time you'll try again later. Let them know good employees are hard to keep.
  4. better way to handle the BS

    Isn't that the truth. If you can't leave yet, you have to make up some canned responses that put you in a positive light. Consider it a challenge and practice for your acting career. Always maintain a professional demeanor and don't let it under yo...
  5. Lazy techs!!!!!

    wow, it seems like its the same all over. what i dont get is why neither side is held accountable for their jobs. Management knows from all the complaints who is lazy, ie never gets the vitals recorded, rooms stocked , disapears,etc, who hogs the t...
  6. Nursing student wanting ER

    Seriously your enthusiasm is leaping off the page. As already stated..do an excellent job during your rotation...when nurses start telling you to fill out an application you will know your right for it. Also ask if they can be e reference for you......
  7. Pain control via PRN narcotics

    That was something I thought as well..please order the dose as what is supplied in the ampule so I don't have to waste it...time consuming. Also, please add a frequency....and a cap...you just can't give narcs ad lib and ad infinitum in the er, not ...
  8. Considering ER but not good at starting IV's

    If you can at least get a line in the AC, you shouldn't worry about that. However, to brush up on your skills now, watch and learn. If you miss it and some on better, hang around and see what they do, and why you missed? 2 out three ain't bad, but ...
  9. Question on new grad preceptorship experience

    My first impression is that they are trying to get you out of the nest and flying on your own. It is very difficult thing to be a new grad - do you have any experience in health care hands on? You should be, at the end of orientation, handling your ...
  10. Cooler weather and homeless "patients"

    Well, if a pt is that booze soaked it needs an admission, sorry but etoh does kill. There are many out of the way places in the hospital at night, not just the waiting room...although its not my responsibility to find it...nor to pass judgement on a ...
  11. FIRED I didn't even see it coming , Please advise

    Still, whatever it was, it would have been common courtesy to know. I sure wouldn't want to work for someone who used such a vague and pretty phoney catchphrase...there is a manager who truly doesn't care about you, your life and how that offhand re...
  12. TNCC applicable to Critical Care Nursing?

    An excellent course, it can be applied to any area and it will improve your critical thinking as well as help organise your assessments in ways you never imagined. As a suggestion, get the book now and prepare...you will get more out of it that way....
  13. In my perfect world, the admitting doctor chooses the appropriate floor for admission, and the nurse does not get blamed when they say...we don't take heparin drips on this floor....adding another two hours to the patients stay in the er. In my perf...
  14. Checking vitals on a stranger to see if they are OK

    If you see someone who looks ill and/or in distress, don't you owe it to the human race to ask them if they are OK? Need of assistance, whether or not you are a nurse? However, once you whip out the stethescope you have entered a binding contract as...
  15. Cooler weather and homeless "patients"

    So give them a blanket and let them sleep inside...better than getting them back via ems for hypothermia. Have some compassion, geez, these people have many problems.
