  3. PICC dressing change nurses notes

    I guess it depends. Our changes are put on the MAR, so we sign it off plus the other info we fill out on the MAR. Measure the length from point of insertion to the hub and measuring three inches...
  4. My Cushy Per Diem Job

    No...no I don't have a cushy job. LOL. Well... I guess compared to other LTC facilities I have a good gig. Outstanding benefits, with great pay, differentials... but I do work my butt off more times...

  7. Licensure/Certification Abbreviation help!

    The way mentioned above is the way I was taught. I don't really add my stuff on except for the RN. As a certified wound care nurse, I could append that, or my education, but really I am in a hurry....

  9. group management project- need HELP please!

    I would also look at the hospitals website. They normally offer smoking cessation classes and will have some information for you to utilize...such as support groups. Reach out to area occupation...
  10. Help w/email to manager for position!

    Just want to add: Plus with going through HR, they know what positions are open and so if you aren't a fit for one area, they might know another area that will take new grads. They will normally ask...
  11. Help w/email to manager for position!

    Wouldn't you have to go through HR for open positions. Managers normally don't do the first steps of things. HR interviews and then pass the information along. As a past manager, I would not like...
  12. snf duties at night?

    Normally you are hopefully finishing up the med pass if it is set at 20:00 and you start at 19:00 until 21:00. I can usually get it done around that time but it depends on how big the unit is and how...
  13. One last thing and I swear I am off to bed. If the person isn't drinking as well either, she is taking a diuretic and could be dehydrated. Her fluid and electrolytes could be off which could...
  14. As a diabetic, I have learned that diabetics experience the disease differently (I'm generalizing) But for me, I don't get the typical S/S of hypo or hyperglycemia at times. The only way to know is...

  18. Can't hear! Stethoscope recommendations?

    I love my Littman....got it back when I started school. It was a little over $100, but prices may dropped by now. I also find it easier for me to hear with larger soft tip ear buds. The only time I...
  19. Special Accommodations for Testing Purposes

    I did. I spoke with the Dean of Students. You will have to check with your school to see who deals with special accommodations for disabilities. My doctor had to fill out a form and the Dean of...
  20. medicare A nurse/documentation nurse

    I don't know if she is "just very stupid". I kinda find that offensive. I never heard of such a title. The staff nurse does this. Only RNs are allowed on our Medicare neighborhoods. The only...
  21. huber needle

    I'm not going to judge you for what occurred. I think it has been done enough. It is far too easy to read into a response and sometimes very difficulty to truly understand the tone of a post. What...
  22. Orientation for a new grad

    When I started as a GN, I was given 3 weeks. Now that nursing home was owned by a hospital and bigger organization. When they sold, they only gave 3 days, which I think is a joke. You can't learn...
