  1. What's a magnet hospital???

    miko014 replied to np_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    That was just an example of how magnet is a nice idea, especially on paper, but doesn't always work out quite that way. Overall, I don't have *too* much to complain about...at least, not compared to...

  2. Delegation to unlicensed assistive personnel (long...)

    miko014 replied to dacryocystitis's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like what they are asking that CNA to do is out of her scope of practice. I don't really know what to say about that, other than to just lay down the law. It has to be more than "I'm not...

  3. A day in the life of a Registered Nurse....

    miko014 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Heme/Onc, Palliative Care, Inpatient Hospice (with Med/Surg overflow) 3p - 1130p It's really hard to do this because every shift is different, even if you have the same pts. I really have no set...

    miko014 replied to np_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I work at a magnet hospital...it's a measure of nursing quality ftom the ANCC. It just basically says that the patient outcomes are good, the nurses are mostly satisfied with their jobs...

  5. Falls (kinda long, sorry!)

    miko014 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    I have been charting EVERYTHING on her, believe me! It seems that the general consensus on the unit (MDs, nurses, case managers, even her family) think it's an attention thing (like I said, she has a...

  7. Falls (kinda long, sorry!)

    miko014 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would be upset no matter what, but I am ticked off at her! I really think she did it on purpose because she thought that I wasn't going to bring her her meds, even though the last time I...

  8. sickle cell pt..

    miko014 replied to timdmb's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a large hospital (just found out the exact number yesterday...1059 beds), and, on our unit at least, we have to get an order to use feet/lower extremities for any kind of stick. Not to say...

  9. Pls help, dumb ? abt insulin & ss

    miko014 replied to lyceeboo's topic in General Nursing

  10. Magnet and Teaching Hospitals

    miko014 replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a teaching hospital...we just got magnet status a few months ago. There was a huge fuss about it while we were trying for it, then when we got it, they spent a little time congratulating...

    miko014 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi all! I hope this hasn't been covered in a previous thread...I just wonder if anyone can give me their opinion on a dilemma I am having. I am fairly new to nursing. I work on a med/surg/onc floor at...

  12. I Need Advise, please help!

    miko014 replied to miko014's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the help. Does anyone have experience in any of these "other" nursing areas that they could share? I'd like to hear what people think of these jobs...or anything that...

  13. I Need Advise, please help!

    miko014 replied to miko014's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh sure, it's nothing major. I just have very sensitive skin, and my hands just can't handle all the washing (and alcohol rubs) that is invilved in bedside nursing. They're always cracked and...
