  1. Nursing Abuse

    Just me. replied to 2017_PEDSRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you fill out a workers comp complaint? If you did you should have a number for registration in medical facility you go to. My understanding if it is work related some insurances won't cover it....

  2. Aspiration Precaution

    Just me. replied to Rachel123321's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Is there an in-house speech therapist? Clarify with them? Talk to unit manager and discuss the issue. Were there orders that indirectly called for supervision like no straw, remind patient to...

  3. Phrasing - how do you ask your patients about incontinence?

    Just me. replied to AriRN36's topic in General Nursing

    As general question about health history, have you ever lost control of you bowel or bladder? Do you need assistance getting to the bathroom? For those I strongly suspect are incontinent, I do...

  4. When to call doctor about pvc’s?

    Just me. replied to Alinaa's topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility have standing orders for PVCs? Ekg or labs to be repeated? Our standing orders were usually for so many in a row. If the pt needed these I would call, or if the pt was...

  5. IVIG

    Just me. replied to chemdawg's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Do you get it from the hospital pharmacy? If it comes from them, they would likely know the need for consent. Like with blood bank, they usually get sent certain documentation sent back to them for...

  6. How? Just, HOW?!

    Just me. replied to ihavealltheice's topic in School

    I think you were right not to remove it. If someone came into the hospital for that, I would not even think of removing them until it was seen by a

  7. New to subbing

    Just me. posted a topic in School

    I am pretty new to trying school nursing. I have shadowed a nurse on my own time, no training available. It is a little overwhelming to walk into a clinic run by someone else and figure it out as...

  8. Advice

    Just me. replied to Samantha Henry's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The exact same thing happened to me. I started at a doctor's office while still in nursing school. I had been working in LTC as a rehab tech. I wanted some direct bedside experience so I went to the...

  9. How hard is bedside nursing on the body?

    Just me. replied to starter12345's topic in General Nursing

    I would say yes, it can be done by a petite female. Equipment and staff will make a difference. The facility you work in should have equipment for heavy lifting,etc. But some physical activity is...

  10. How can I make Rocephin I'm hurt less???

    Just me. replied to nurse_tnb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I mostly use the vastus lateralis for Rocephin, it does hurt. Technique helps, but no one thinks it great to get the shot. Our facility frowns upon the dorsogluteal site. And I agree that the...

  11. How do I become a better nurse?

    Just me. replied to Marythenurse1994's topic in General Nursing

    I struggled with my preceptors. I think it was me more than it was them. I think I was just scared to the death. I had so many questions and I think I overwhelmed them. Sometimes I would look at...

  12. Is this resident abuse and should be reported?

    Just me. replied to Aurelia Torvinus's topic in General Nursing

    I do like the second paragraph, that is a good

  13. Is this resident abuse and should be reported?

    Just me. replied to Aurelia Torvinus's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I failed to get the point across...if in the future any of us suspects abuse we report it. I DID point out myself I didn't know if this was abuse. Hypothetical situations won't replace real...

    Thank you for the

  15. How long did it take you to transition from LTC to acute care?

    Just me. replied to danirnhopeful's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as an LPN then RN for a couple of years in LTC before transitioning to the Hospital setting. Because I didn't have acute care training they gave me 3 months of training. I was so glad they...

  16. Is this resident abuse and should be reported?

    Just me. replied to Aurelia Torvinus's topic in General Nursing

    I am not going to say whether or not it was abuse, I don't know. I wasn't there and didn't see it. As mentioned it may have just been a natural response. However, I think it is commendable that you...

  17. CoWorker using a patient's medication

    Just me. replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The OP didn't actually call the board, she/he was inquiring as to whether or not she was mandated to do so... This thread has made her the one in the wrong for thinking of this issue, and made...

  18. Gloves at all times?

    Just me. replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    This has probably been said, but... I sanitize my hands when walking in and out of a room. If I'm opening a medication in a room, and not touching it, I wouldn't wear gloves. That would be...

  20. Help! I need study tips

    Just me. replied to Beaue's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Back in the day, the best thing I did for studying was to read a number of pages every night. That way, when it was time for testing I was familiar with the material and not trying to cram it all in...

  21. so lost

    Just me. replied to Idkwhattoput's topic in General Nursing

    Are all of the other floors you don't like Med-surg? Have you considered a step-down unit to start? Did any of your clinical experiences stand out? Do you have an assigned mentor you can talk to in...

  22. CNAs starting IVs

    Just me. replied to BSMSCCRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I work in a hospital. The Nurse techs/Cna start many ivs, even ultrasound guided ivs with special training, this in the ED. On the other units, they do not. Some of the techs are better than some...

  23. To mind own business or...

    Just me. replied to VeronicaMarie's topic in General Nursing

    A mistake is a mistake, but how it is handled should be according to facility policy. A purpose for reporting things like omissions, to keep them from happening again. It is not a personal attack....

  24. Is it possible for a manager to smile too often?

    Just me. replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you are professional, as you said maybe they are being sarcastic/joking. I'm sure you are aware of circumstances that warrant a more serious

  25. Preferential Treatment Towards Certain Patients

    Just me. replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in ltc, there were definitely residents that I found more endearing than others. I can only suggest making an effort to answer all call bells in a timely fashion, and in order. I would...
