  2. Low census?

    jojotoo replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    We're slow too, but this seems normal to me for this time of year (beginning of summer). I'll expect it to pick up again about

  4. How many 12's?

    jojotoo replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    Five 12s in a row is the most that I can do, four 12s are not a problem, and three in a row seems like a piece of

  6. Reporting resident abuse to local office of aging....

    jojotoo replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    If your facility has a policy that states incident reports are not to be copied, and you do copy them, you've probably given your employer grounds to dismiss you. What I do, is write the "incident" up...

  7. Most interesting Micro-organism!!

    jojotoo replied to kcstudentnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    Don't want to get this thread shut down for asking/ giving medical advice. Call your pediatrician and ask him to see your daughter again or ask for a dermatology

    jojotoo replied to kcstudentnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    Wait - I thought of some more! Hantavirus Giardia (a protozoa) Toxoplasma gondii (another protozoa, I think) Bartonnella henselae (causitive agent for cat scratch fever) Ebola virus Or something that...

    jojotoo replied to kcstudentnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    One of my favorites: Clostridium botulinum. I've actually had patients with botulism. Or how about the rabies virus? That's an interesting

  12. Painful Stimuli

    jojotoo replied to georgescott6188's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    How do you chart this? Though I've been doing it for years, I only know to chart it as "purposeful avoidance of painful stimuli". Is there a better

  13. Triage sucks!!! Any tips??

    jojotoo replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in Emergency

    Vote to support change? Like more taxes??? How about if the nonworking poor get a job so that they can pay for their healthcare like the rest of us? Why don't the working poor have insurance? Is it...

  14. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    jojotoo replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why do they think, or how do they know it's racism? Maybe they are just sensing that I think they are stupid, obnoxious, demanding, or a jerk, and their race (sex, religion, sexual orientation,etc.)...

  15. Pathetically Unethical!!

    jojotoo replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    ROFLMAO!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  16. Me vs. the charge nurse

    jojotoo replied to RachelRN25's topic in General Nursing

    As the charge nurse in the ER, I know what's going on with the other RNs patients. I know if they have abnormal VS or labs. I know where they are in the evaluation process - awaiting imaging,...

  17. Do I have any legal recourse???

    jojotoo replied to Dakkon76's topic in General Nursing

    "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke 1729-1797) This instructor may not be a serial killer, but if the OP has described the scenario accurately,...

  18. woman dies in ER waiting room (article)

    jojotoo replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for acknowledging the abuse that I (as an ER RN) go through each shift. From the foul verbal abuse and threats to the actual physical attacks, my shifts are always a challenge to my...

  19. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    jojotoo replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Allison - No, you didn't have the whole story. But when do any of us have the "whole" story? I applaud your attempts to be your patient's advocate, even though it probably wasn't a popular stance...

  20. Standard Orientation vs Internship

    jojotoo replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    What an opportunity! This is where you'll really learn about nursing - much, much more than class or clinicals. Take the

  21. Say something or not?

    jojotoo replied to pannie's topic in General Nursing

    So the medical assistant isn't just incompetent, she's also dishonest. The first might improve, but a liar will stay a liar. Tell the

  22. Insulin question

    jojotoo replied to SNlena's topic in Patient Medications

    It shouldn't cost you more than $100 - $200 for a lawyer to write a letter. Why has the instructer singled you out with her bizarre behavior? Do you have a protected minority status that she has a...

  24. a family member gave me five dollars

    jojotoo replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    I probably wouldn't have thought of this as a tip. I think that sometimes the people we care for just want to do SOMETHING for us and giving a "little something" just shows their appreciation (in...

  25. LVN instead of RN

    jojotoo replied to cancalbloop's topic in General Nursing

    Get your LVN, then bridge to an RN program. Nurses make mistakes everyday, just don't make the same ones over and over. By the way, how were your grades in the classroom? During my ADN program, the...
