  1. Would you have called the doc? (LONG)

    Heartsofangels replied to SierraN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You did the right thing. You covered your butt no matter what the other people say. I would have called the doctor too! Obviously the other people you work with aren't very good at what they do or are...

  2. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Heartsofangels replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Kitkat. I am a nurse, but I was a CNA for a long time first and I did enjoy being a CNA and when I worked in the nursing home, I helped the CNA's when I could. CNA's are very important. They are...

  3. Ghostly experiences??

    Heartsofangels replied to Erin RN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in the nursing home, we had a main floor with 60 patients on it, and a subacute unit, which was in the basement near the kitchen, and laundry room that held 10 patients on vents. I used...

  4. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Heartsofangels replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    My biggest pet peeve is when I walk into a room and a CNA or nurse has completely stripped a pt to wash them instead of exposing one area at a time. My other pet peeve is nurses who think they are...

  5. Blatant Nursing "No-No's"........what's your worst???

    Heartsofangels replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a CNA, I heard about a 3rd shift nurse who gave one of our little ladies 10 times the Morphine that was ordered. She did die, but I don't know the exact cause of death since she was...

  6. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    Heartsofangels replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    When I was in nursing school, our class didn't have to bathe each other. We used mannequins, but another class that was in the same room on that lab day did have to wear shorts and shirts and they had...

  7. Foley Position

    Heartsofangels replied to QUEENIERN's topic in Operating Room

    I have always been taught over the leg, but lately there has been conflict where I work about foley cath positioning. Some are taught different than others. I would just like a definite answer so I...

  8. Chronic Tardiness

    Heartsofangels replied to Tweety's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am always a 1/2 hour early for my shift. By the time I get report and do narcotic count it's 3pm and I can get started right away. There is this one nurse who is always late. She was always driving...

  9. Sick call policy

    Heartsofangels replied to goldgram's topic in Nurse Management

    I have to say that when I was a CNA, we always had people that called in on the weekends, so they had a policy that said you had to work the next weekend and if they didn't need you they kept a list...

  10. Drs. handwriting - Can you read it well?

    Heartsofangels replied to RN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a nursing home so most of our orders are verbal over the phone, but when our new admissions come or our pt's return from the hospital, we have a hard time understanding the writing. I have...

  11. How long does report take?

    Heartsofangels replied to RNnites's topic in General Nursing

    I work in long term care and it usually takes 15-20 minutes depending on the nurse and what has happened. I like taping reports the best. The next shift comes in, you do count and leave. We also have...
