6. SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

   jbeaves replied to Barbie8808's topic in Professionalism

   Yes, I believe we are making the same argument though my statement was certainly lacking some eloquence that may have caused the confusion. Scope of practice does not equal job description does not equal responsibilities afforded by license.

7. SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

   jbeaves replied to Barbie8808's topic in Professionalism

   I have to disagree. At least according to the Texas BON there are several rules to delegation including "the nursing task must not require the unlicensed person to exercise professional nursing judgment." Everything within a CNAs scope of practice ma...

9. SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

   jbeaves replied to Barbie8808's topic in Professionalism

   This is kind of a tricky ethical dilemma. If you are a licensed RN and one of the patients for whom you are working as a tech suddenly require your nursing expertise, you could be required to act as an RN which I assume is outside of your current job...

    I'm working on a cardiac step-down unit in a moderately large city. The orientation on our unit is typically 6 to 12 weeks with 8 being the average. Our unit's educator, who oversees the orientation process of all of our new-hires, decides when she b...

11. How difficult is nursing school?

    jbeaves replied to alittlepatience's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have always considered myself to be relatively good at school and I felt that it was certainly a challenge, but sciences were my Achilles' heel long before college and proved to still be when choosing to go into nursing. The program I applied for w...

12. How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Monitor

    jbeaves replied to jbeaves's topic in New Nurse

    Both times it looked flat. Our monitor system has a habit of reading asystole occasionally while you can still clearly see a completely normal rhythm (this normally happens with errors in lead placement or sometimes just bigger patients) but I'm both...

    jbeaves replied to jbeaves's topic in New Nurse

    My first use of the word "shield" is referring to more subtle tasks he would perform throughout the day either out of boredom or to ensure I did not become overwhelmed. Keeping track of medications pharmacy might need to send before they are due, mon...

14. How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Monitor

    jbeaves posted a topic in New Nurse

    I've been working on the cardiac ICU step-down for 8 weeks. It's my second day off of orientation and I'm beginning to realize just how much of the job my preceptor shielded me from. Its 8-something PM and I've just finished my first round of vitals ...
