  2. No More ED Report?

    Miss Kitty00 replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree. We might as well do away with shift report. My hospital has EPIC so we can look up information but we still suppose to receive verbal report. Yet, I'm one of those nurses that doesn't...

  3. Blood transfusion

    Miss Kitty00 replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Agree with everybody else. Anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. I usually run units in a shorter time than 4 hours. The only time I run it to reach 4 hours if the pt is elderly, has CHF or renal

    Miss Kitty00 replied to chivon101's topic in Travel

    32. Never thought about traveling until it hit me that I wont be getting married and having babies anytime soon. I've been a nurse for 7 years but still feel like I'm not "skilled" enough. I just...

    Miss Kitty00 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  11. vancomycin and peripheral iv's

    Miss Kitty00 replied to newrn05's topic in Medical-Surgical

  12. What should be the immediate intervention if a Trach tube accientally comes out?

    Miss Kitty00 replied to small_potato's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I had this happened to me, but the pt was capped, so I called RT. If the pt was on flow-by, I probably would Rapid Response as well. You suppose to have extra supplies in your room in case this...

  13. Looking for Advice-New Grad, 8 patients?

    Miss Kitty00 replied to RNRapunzel1029's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I love Med-Surg, but 8 patients is way too much! I don't care if you have techs or all the walky-talkies, that is still too much. Sometimes patients are at their worst on night shift. Their condition...

  14. Why such high new RN turnover?

    Miss Kitty00 replied to Calder's topic in First Year After Licensure

  15. Why such high new RN turnover?

    Miss Kitty00 replied to Calder's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Miss Kitty00 replied to payang0722's topic in General Nursing

  22. Top Paying Hospital In the OKC Area?

    Miss Kitty00 replied to new2okrn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

  23. Has anyone successfully completed an LVN-to-RN program?

    Miss Kitty00 replied to Megn510's topic in LPN to RN
