  2. No report; disrespected

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I do not write up other nurses for personal issues, and would not unless the issue created a hostile working environment which affects patient care. I did not state that she was written up for...

  3. No report; disrespected

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I embarrassed myself in my OP--I must have come across as though my feelings were more important than patient care. I apologize. My primary concern is for my patients. I am kind of like a Momma Bear...

  4. No report; disrespected

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

  5. No report; disrespected

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for your advice, RealWitch--I appreciate it. In my hospital , we do take care of both the moms and the babies after delivery; we do couplet care. It's really cool. I love it. We see...

  6. Chancellors

    LNDRN19 replied to LIZ31's topic in General Nursing

    You need an attorney and fast. Call around to see if you can find one who will help you Pro Bono. If not, join Pre-Paid legal ASAP (doesn't cost very much) and get them to help you. You should not be...

  7. I don't know if you are here or not

    LNDRN19 replied to msdr's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes, I think all of us nurses wonder if we've really made an impact on our patients. This was absolutely inspiring. And KUDOS TO YOU!!! What a brave and...

  8. postpartum emergency situations

    LNDRN19 replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a postpartum nurse, and on my floor, we are quite able to handle emergency situations. In fact, there was a code called on a non-patient mother in our NICU, and WE were called for the code. The...

  9. Is this nursing shortage scream blown out of proportion?

    LNDRN19 replied to BethulieRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. IUD Pregnancies

    LNDRN19 replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Okay, I am freaking out. I have a Mirena. No pregnancies so far, but I have taken care of patients with copper IUDs who delivered (healthy) babies. Anyhow, here's a link for info on some stuff I...

  11. Abuse

    LNDRN19 replied to BellaTerra's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    All I can respond with is what I would do. I would return the patient to her room and try to calm the patient as much as possible. I would then let the nurses know that I will not be a party to such...

  12. Taking NCLEX Monday! Keep some fingers and toes crossed for me!

    LNDRN19 replied to blyn79's topic in General Nursing

    Focus on calm things right now. When you're taking the test, take long, slow breaths now and then. You've got a lot of knowledge in your head. You can do it!!! We're pulling for

  13. Critical Care RN to OB??

    LNDRN19 replied to PyshRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I suspect that others were saying you'd be doing a "360" because sometimes we OB nurses are not viewed as being "real" nurses. Of course, we are very real nurses. OB is a different kind of nursing...

  14. my Biggest fear.....

    LNDRN19 replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ask your unit educator to start doing mock codes--we do that on my unit and it is very helpful. Much better to make a mistake on a dummy than a real person. We do both antepartum, postpartum, and...

  15. Has anyone gone to school with a new baby?

    LNDRN19 replied to alliestar's topic in General Nursing

    I gave birth to my son during fall break between my first and second semester of nursing school. I have now been an RN for one year. So, yes, it can be done, but no, it wasn't

  16. What to say?

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone--I need your advice. I have to confront a notoriously lazy tech about what she did wrong the last time I worked with her and what I expect of her in the future and need to streamline what...

  17. What to say?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention that our techs here also have their very own union...we have to write "communication reports" to our NM in order for her to be able to do anything. I am going to start writing them....

  18. What to say?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that I have that authority; I only float as charge in the NBN. But if I do, she's got some short days

  19. What to say?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I want to...SOOOOO

  20. does the FOB really get cursed out????

    LNDRN19 replied to RNDreamer's topic in Ob/Gyn

  21. Any Antepartum nurses?

    LNDRN19 replied to NikRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Nik-- I work on a antepartum/postpartum unit. We take care of Mag pts. and GYNs on my floor. Yes, Mag pts. can be scary, but that's just part of the territory. We are separate from L&D. We are...

  22. need help--husband died at home

    LNDRN19 replied to pyseymo's topic in Cardiac

    Pam, you did all the right stuff. I am absolutely sure of that. Don't expect yourself to "get over" this (as a family member counseled my sister-in-law after she watched her son die in a violent car...

  23. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    LNDRN19 replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read through the last three pages, so pardon if this has already been said: We aren't the only under-appreciated and abused profession out there. My husband is a cop and he gets dumped on...

  24. Bilirubin level: What would you do?

    LNDRN19 replied to rnin02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the previous replies. You made the right choice. Sounds like the other nurse may be somewhat insecure in her own decision-making abilities. You followed protocol and refrained from...

  25. Don't give oxygen?

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I was wondering if you all could tell me what cardiac disorder a neonate could have that would make giving blow-by oxygen detrimental. Here's why--I was hanging out in the nursery charting while a big...
