    nursebeth77 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I’ve been an ICU nurse since May2019, and a nurse since 2011. Last week I was assigned as the charge nurse unexpectedly. I have never been trained as one and I felt very uncomfortable all night with...

    nursebeth77 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I work on a Med-Surg unit and lately we have been getting a lot of unstable pts from the ER. So the other night I am getting report on a pt from the ER around 2100 and the nurse states "to be honest...

  7. Frustrating

    nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, I worked at a different hospital when it was mandatory to give report. I couldn't do what a lot of the nurses here in our ER do. No, I'm not the only nurse that complains about some of the...

  8. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

    nursebeth77 replied to Munimula's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Heck yes I would report him. He is cutting into someone and we are supposed to be pt advocates. I'm tired of some nurses just blowing stuff off because it's a "DR" and they could do no wrong. If my...

  9. Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

    nursebeth77 replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When someone is a 1:1 and restrained, you always watch for personal safety and pt safety. That's why they are a 1:1 and need to be watched. I can't see a nurse telling you to ignore him. Your supposed...

    nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow that's crazy! I worked in the ER for over a year and I always gave report. I didn't know it didn't happen everywhere else. I worked at a level one trauma center then and we had too. I've been a...

  11. Frustrating

    nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ok, just to be clear, this was his patient not another nurse giving report for him. I do understand that if I'm getting report from another nurse that they most likely have not seen the pt. I...

  13. Frustrating

    nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I got this pt at 2100 (9pm), so he had been there for 2 hrs without seeing his pt. And if you read my original post, I said I have worked in the ER, and I never once passed on a pt without seeing...

    nursebeth77 replied to cjwilliams's topic in Excelsior College

    nursebeth77 replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    Your right it should have been corrected. For her to laugh it off like it's no big deal and then fail you is

  17. Got my date!!!

    nursebeth77 replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    I've been thinking about the situation you went through, that there was a medication on the MAR twice with an x next to it, where your initial is supposed to go. So, I was thinking what would I do at...
