    Hospital Patient Care

    Mary R replied to WhirlyGirlNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I always teach my patients how to order and definitely would be assisting a flat patient to drink and make sure they have access to their bedside table. That being said I always get kind of...

    New grad nurse needs some advice! Which one is good?

    Mary R replied to Linhtp's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I am amazed at how long of orientation people get. Our new grad program is a year - but that is classes. Actual working with a preceptor is 8 weeks for most units. I personally felt 6 would have...

    EKG order

    Mary R replied to cepr4's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think she was consulting cardiology but instead paging a cardiologist already consulted. If cards has seen my patient my hospitalists are going to ask why I am not paging them with any CP,...

    Humiliated and scared

    Mary R replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

    Was this the only time? Oddly my hospital had the same thing happen - tech went AMA at night and found sleeping in massage chair - I don't know if they did a work up on her or not. However only a few...

    Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

    New Grad Program, Not Meeting Goals

    Mary R replied to PresentPerfect's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What was she thinking?!

    Mary R replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, in the hospital I float and I would say like 80% of nurses also refuse to answer the phone regardless of what they are doing (we don't have HUCs). Not going to hold SNF nurses to a higher...

    Was this unethical of me?

    Mary R replied to guest1200295's topic in General Nursing

    You are allowed access to the info you had. Looking at it - even if just for curiosity - isn't unethical in my opinion. If you clicked into areas you didn't need to to then yes, that is a problem. But...

    I Made A Serious Medication Error: Help!

    Mary R replied to Hailey.B's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this was the MARs fault. It isn't going to have the ability to tell you that you need to wait for another lab. From what I gather in your post the baseline lab was mistaken for the 6hr...
