2. Was I wrong?

   guest114 replied to Munch's topic in General Nursing

   just another controlling nurse...wanting thing her way..i can't stand having to work with ppl like that, they have poor skills when it comes to working as a team..which only makes life easier for everyone

3. Colleagues Waiting for me to Fail and Quit

   guest114 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I know what you mean, how rough it can be. I have always tried my best, had good intentions and still there were always those nurses who were mean rude and unhelpful. I came to the conclusion it was more of a personal problem and possibly even intimi...

   guest114 replied to guest114's topic in General Nursing

   you hit it on the nose. I pretty much came here to throw my feelings about what happened down, vent and look for some feedback. I am pretty much over it but I feel like a patient didnt get proper/punctual treatment due to all the chaos and lack of pr...

   guest114 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi just a quick gathering of opinion regarding something that happened at work tonight. A code was called. There was a major rift in communiction all the way down the line and altogether was a disaster. First of call, apparently no one heard this STA...

   guest114 posted a topic in Medications

   Hi, I currently work as an LPN with a very high census on 3-11 (2 units across from one another with 20 patients on each - 40 total with varying acuity), perfect setting for sundowning and all types of psychotic events :) So I float from acute/sub ac...

10. Will nursing wreck my hands?

    guest114 replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good question and I wonder why I NEVER considered this before I began working. My hands are constantly dry this is for sure. I have tons of lotions in my bag, car, bedroom, livingroom....always accessable. I use different oils and try diffe...

11. Lost stethoscopes

    guest114 replied to mthiga's topic in General Nursing

    I have learned not to invest too much in supplies because I float around a lot and may never be in the same place twice. I am also careful not to forget things but if I do I consider it good as gone. People steal, I have learned to accept that, espec...

    Were you working as a CNA? Did anything ever happen? Maybe you just didn't recertify..

14. Question-Please answer!

    guest114 replied to Anisa.Lee's topic in Geriatric

    Probably going to be a little boring but get what you can. Once your on the floor there's no going back to "I'm a student ". Ask questions ! Lots and any you can think of. Look through charts, get familiar with the paper work, 24 hour reports ..

15. Speedy med pass

    guest114 replied to sbostonRN's topic in Geriatric

    This appears to be an old article but something I am dealing with as my first year in long term/acute care. I float and some days my medpass is very heavy and always brand new to me. Today I had nearly 30 residents with heavy meds and treatments......
