   They never take the atenolol ironically lol

2. Would you take a patient's blood sugar without an "order"?

   ËŔNurse~dujour replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

   Our system, Epic, automatically generates an order when the bg is taken....but yes. I just throw in a note with it. BG checked d/t patient request.

3. No More ED Report?

   ËŔNurse~dujour replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Med-Surg

   I wish the entire process was different. Would require more staff on all ends though. Many times I feel like from our side, it's a blame the messenger deal. We do not choose where our patient goes, or to which overworked nurse. Frequently the charge ...

4. No More ED Report?

   ËŔNurse~dujour replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Med-Surg

   I worked in pcu at a previous hospital where this was done. The patient and a flowsheet would mysteriously arrive, sometimes before the room was even clean. Very frustrating. Now, as an ER nurse, we call report currently, but are scheduled to change...

   I had one of those a few months ago. Came by EMS, not because it was cold outside, just plainly because he was cold. Lol I love signing up for (SOME of) these patients. They make the day amusing!

6. Do you wear jewelry to work?

   ËŔNurse~dujour replied to nurse_jess's topic in General Nursing

   I see many nurses in direct patient care areas wearing those Pandora bracelets. I want to scrub them and soak them in bleach!

7. Are there any nurses happy to be a nurse?

   ËŔNurse~dujour replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Nursing

   After floating through most of the units in an acute inpatient hospital and hating them all, I found a home. A year later I'm still nearly giddy to head into work. I think the thing people miss in an acute inpatient setting is that these people are s...

    Wish I could help, I never went through it but it seems pretty extensive. What area(s) are you interested in?

11. Epic Charting System

    ËŔNurse~dujour replied to mbutler14's topic in Emergency

    I have no experience with Tsystem, but Epic is pretty user friendly. Windows based. Heavily mouse driven. I have only used it, McKessen and Meditech. It's far better than the other 2 =)

12. Please Start!

    ËŔNurse~dujour replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in Professionalism

    Sistrmoon, It's not efficient at alllllllll. It's a hot mess in fact. Admitted patients in the ER = no bueno for anyone. Suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg

13. Please Start!

    ËŔNurse~dujour replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in Professionalism

    Music in my heart, I will start ordering the 0900 meds. I work nights in a busy ER with loads and loads of boarders sometimes and a pyxis full of nothing but emergency meds. You know, I had never thought about doing it and had never been asked. I can...

14. Danskos

    ËŔNurse~dujour replied to MissCoCoKit_E's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I'm on my third shift with the Danskos. I hate them. Everyone says to hang in there, they get amazing. I just ordered a cute pair of Alegrias just in case

15. What color are your scrubs?

    ËŔNurse~dujour replied to Iliauna's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Caribbean blue! Plum, black or white =)
