  1. new grad nurse med surg

    Triddin replied to mng1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I second using a cheat sheet. It doesn't have to be fancy. I just use a blank sheet of paper, jot my report findings in blue, assessment data in red and make a schedule in the side for when to do...

  2. June 2018 Caption Contest: Poll - Select $100 Winner!

    Triddin replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Ooh. We fit another 2 patients in here. It's not like the nurses use

  3. Caring for end of life patients

    Triddin replied to Tboland88's topic in General Nursing

    I've always found it sad but rewarding. There definitely isn't a one size fits all response which you can say to a family, but I find little things- making sure the family and patient are comfortable,...

  4. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Triddin replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Being vaccinated (unless medically unable to do so) is literally a hiring criteria in almost every aspect of health care because you present a risk to patient safety. You are allowed to have whatever...

  5. Seizure code blue

    Triddin replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't have been able to give the Ativan without an order. You did well. You prevented a respiratory arrest. Don't be so hard on yourself. In fact, celebrate that you were level minded enough to...

  6. Is this considered bullying?

    Triddin replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

    On med surg, I find after a year of experience, you ar fair game for precepting and charge duties; althouugh something's it happens

  7. new nurse advice. screwed up?

    Triddin replied to introuble7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The thing is, if we don't alert the doctors, how would they know what our concerns are and how can it get fixed? Yes, sometimes doctors get pissy and annoyed, but ultimately you are protecting your...

  8. If you apply and accept a job, don't bail out for no good reason

    Triddin replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think the majority of new grads do stick with their jobs. However those who are uncertain if the should switch are far more likely to post here than those who stay put. Life is too short to be in a...

  9. Hopefully this helps. . . struggling with getting past this failure

    Triddin replied to strugglingRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    I am truely sorry you are feeling this way. The nurse manager doesn't sound like she handled letting you go very professionally. Have you considered counselling or therapy? It sounds like you are...

  10. Student Nurse Med Error

    Triddin replied to heallis's topic in General Students

    I think for final preceptor ships, the instructor aren't on site but the student is closely mentored with a preceptor nurse. The instructor instead does weakly check ins with the nurse and student to...

  11. Student Nurse Med Error

    Triddin replied to heallis's topic in General Students

    Take a deep breath. You made an error, you called to follow up. Likely, the day RN would have checked the sugar and given the insulin (I'm assuming sliding scale?) Although I personally won't give...

  12. new nurse advice. screwed up?

    Triddin replied to introuble7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would have called and done blood

  13. Concerns about a nurse

    Triddin replied to Platypus's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would probably discuss your concerns with her first, but that's me personally. Could you go higher than the manager in the system. Worst case scenario, you could create a detailed list (and ensure...

  14. Advice for new grad?

    Triddin replied to ray-man's topic in General Nursing

    I think pacu and or are some of the best specialties for disaster relief. A colleague was an ER/ Pacu Rn and he said hasn't done much as a trauma/ Er nurse because by the time he was deployed and...

  15. Stressed, keep making mistakes!

    Triddin replied to Nicolepatrol95's topic in Patient Medications

    Slow down if possible and double and triple check

  16. Reassignment as a nurse

    Triddin replied to Jasgun's topic in Canada

    I believe the clpnbc standards will guide you with your

  17. Need some job advice

    Triddin replied to rariel's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of ward are you in now? What is your background (I'm kind of curious how you got into the critical care program with no acute experience). If you *just* started in your new position, I...

  18. How did she/he get through nursing school?

    Triddin replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I actually don't get offended with constructive feedback, and have generally had good reception when speaking to coworkers about concerns/ things I've noticed,. Some people do get defensive and po'd,...

  19. How did she/he get through nursing school?

    Triddin replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno. I would personally prefer someone to address me in person if they had concerns about my practice, rather than talk about me to others, and I try and do the same to others. I guess that makes...

  20. New Grad-Insulin

    Triddin replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

    We don't check for sc insulin, just

  21. How did she/he get through nursing school?

    Triddin replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    So you make a thread about it to strangers on the internet to discuss? Why not discuss with the individuals whose practice you are concerned about so they can improve? I personally feel that would be...

  22. LPN job prospects in BC

    Triddin replied to Raj.deep's topic in Canada

    Depending where in bc you want to live, apply with one of the major health authorities - provincial, Fraser health, Vancouver Coastal Health, island or interiour health. They all have postings online...

  23. Would you tell a co-worker he needs hearing aides?

    Triddin replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably say something of the lines of, hey, I've noticed in (list a bunch of situations) you seem to have difficulty hearing me. Have you considered having your hearing

  24. Feeling stupid... feel free to give opinions!

    Triddin replied to taylormade26's topic in General Students

    You are two days in. Give yourself some time to learn the unit. Of course you don't know what to do. However, in situations such as codes, review what you can do and do that ivs are important. So is...
