   babiesX2 posted a topic in General Nursing

   This question was inspired by the thread about what other nurses have done to freak you out? Some of those stories made me wonder. Plus, I hear co-workers tell other nurses "they are going to loose...

2. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

   babiesX2 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

   I am enjoying the philisophical dialogue in this thread. I left off on page 7, but I'll be back to post later once I've finished reading the entire

3. New grad just got fired

   babiesX2 replied to rn2day's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not the OP, but I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences. It is a difficult thing to talk about and share with others. For years now, I've felt like I was the only nurse who has...

   babiesX2 replied to rn2day's topic in General Nursing

   rn2day, I wish I had some magical words that would take all your pain away, but sadly, I don't. Only time can fix this. I too know that sickening, punched in the gut feeling that happens when you...

6. Co-worker hitting up the Dr.s for meds during shift?

   babiesX2 replied to babiesX2's topic in General Nursing

   Like I said, this is only the 2nd nurse I have known (outside of ER) to want the Dr. to look at them and give antibiotic Rx. This nurse wasn't expected to work sick. She has been at our hospital for...

7. Co-worker hitting up the Dr.s for meds during shift?

   babiesX2 replied to babiesX2's topic in General Nursing

   I've seen it done in the ER, and the Dr.'s there don't seem to mind. True, some will say no, but the majority help out. The floor at our hospital is completely different. The only nurse I saw...

   The other day, a new nurse in our dept. (well-baby nursery) came to work sick (elevated temp and sore throat). The charge nurse wouldn't tell her to go home (didn't want to hurt her feelings ). She...

9. Gross Out Co-Worker

   babiesX2 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

   That's disgusting! I can't really give any better advice than what has already been given. The "squeaker" comment had me laughing! I tend to deal with uncomfortable situations by making jokes. Say if...

11. med-surg vs other options

    babiesX2 replied to forest2525's topic in General Nursing

    Please give yourself more time on med-surg. I felt overwhelmed and like I wasn't cut out for med-surg. I transferred to the ER, and that was like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. I...

12. What do you do when the narcotic count is off?

    babiesX2 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I just checked my state board of nursing's Spring quarterly newsletter. Forty three names were listed with disciplinary actions. Two of them are suspended licenses with fines r/t narc discrepancies....

    I had an elderly woman terminal with cancer who had fallen at home and broken her hip. Hip surgery was done, and she was recovering. I came into report one day and noticed her name wasn't on the...

15. anyone use lovenox in odd doses? i.e. 76mg?

    babiesX2 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've always had Lovenox in the prefilled syringes and the dose would be for prophylaxis. I'm in the nursery now so I don't see it
