  1. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

  2. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Trying to not give too much information.... I called on a lab result. Provider asked about the residents breathing. I was not familiar with this resident or their baseline at all. So I mentioned what...

  5. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Essentially I am calling providers with lab results and haven't done an assessment. In my mind, I'm just calling to give a heads up. I think I would do ok with the actual assessment if I actually...

  6. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I was told in my meeting today that "I have a really good attention to detail....í ¾í´·*♀️" I'm like the med error discovery champion at work. I wish it wasn't so, but it is what it

  7. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Problem is this current place is now essentially telling me I'm incopentent in my assessments. This is a nursing home and apparently our providers have concerns about me. It's been a really rough...

  8. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I really knew. All I have ever been told through this nursing journey so far has been the underlying theme of "I'm incompetent". Really hard to find confidence/strengths in

    Name9335 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all! So I am currently in LTC. Looking to get out. I really want to go back to med-surg, but am trying to keep my options open as well. I have kind of been intrigued by IV therapy/infusion...

  10. IV therapy/infusion clinic

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, thanks! I am definatly looking for some more "excitement" I have a med-surg application in. And I was a little nervous about the IV team for that reason. I do think the clinic would...

  11. Urgent question

    Name9335 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello All, I am hoping that this does not border on legal advice.... I am currently working in a nursing home in Wisconsin. Currently on day shift right this minute. I was told at one point that our...

  12. Urgent question

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    And I understand in a weather emergency or some other disaster, that could happen. What I don't understand is why management couldn't help out on just a typical day. I realize in a disaster situation,...

  13. Urgent question

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I ended up not having to work the whole double. One of the NOC nurses came in early, so I was able to leave around 7:45 that night..... but yes, I did have to come in the next

  14. Urgent question

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. Not sure why I stopped reciieving emails with replies. I'm just going to take it a day at a time. I do have an application submitted at the moment. I need to be able to eventually...

  15. Urgent question

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Currently, I guess I would be considered the "supervisor" for PM shift, as I am the only RN in the building. Otherwise, it's a med tech and a

  16. Urgent question

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    That's the problem.... there is really no one capable of taking the hall. It would be one nurse and one nurse tech tonight if I left which really can't work. Management is refusing to come in and take...

    Thanks, I have an application into a hospital at the moment. Just waiting to hear back! Hopefully next

  18. Urgent question

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    This has been in consultation with our ADON... they are the one stating that one of us HAS to stay, but none of the managers will come in. I realize im stuck at the moment. Just irritated and venting....

  19. Urgent question

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    our handbook states... "In the event that the next shift cannot be covered due to unforeseen circumstance, (facility name removed), has the right to mandate that direct care staff remain on the job...

  20. Continuing education/growth

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks about the ACLS. I am looking to move out of LTC, but that isn't really my question. I have a hospital in mind that I am planning/hoping on returning to. I have posted my story on here before....

  21. Continuing education/growth

    Name9335 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello All! I am not going to post my whole story on here again, but long story short, I'm currently stuck in a nursing home. I graduated a little over a year ago and failed two different hospital...

  22. Continuing education/growth

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose your right with the ACLS. We have a short term rehab unit, but I'm not on it super often. That's really the only unit we get a pic line, but it's pretty spairingly and the iv's we use are...

  23. Continuing education/growth

    Name9335 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Just feeling stuck/bored, but on the other hand, not feeling mentally and emotionally ready to go back to the hospital, even though I really want to go eventually. I've been praying about it, but...

    Name9335 replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    Just chiming in, not sure if it's the OP's situation, but i worked for a hospital where literally the nurses were not trained/given access to the accucheck machines. Just the techs and the charge...
