2. How to address a patient

4. Documentation

   nurse4sale replied to nurse4sale's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you, MPKH. I looked in the Thesauruses for another word to use other than "noted" and it came up with words that didn't go well with my assessment. The other words you mentioned, "stated,...

5. Documentation

   nurse4sale posted a topic in General Nursing

   Dear Nurses, I've been a nurse for 20 years and I still never found a professional way to write my note without using the word, "NOTED". For example: Patient "noted" to have a severe non-productive...

7. Thinking about Per Diem

   nurse4sale replied to nurse4sale's topic in General Nursing

9. Per Diem Nurses?

   nurse4sale replied to JoeDEDRN's topic in Emergency

13. Certified Nurses Day excluding people

    nurse4sale replied to RN34TX's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You don't have to be so sensitive about giving out ribbons only to certified nurses, it's not like nurses like each other anyway. I say separate nurses as far and as wide as one can, so they don't...

14. Short nursing staff

    nurse4sale replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Why doesn't anyone call the State Health Dept.? You can do it anonymously and pretend you're a family member with real concern of injury for your loved one. The same thing happens in hospitals,...
