  2. Valsalva manoevre

    jojotoo replied to tahnz0's topic in General Nursing

    Christie, thanks for the link. But now that I've read it, I still want to know why you would teach a child to do this if he might end up with conjunctivitis. I've never seen this done/ taught in any...

  3. How can i resolve this mess!

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

    OK, this is what I think you should do. Schedule a private meeting with your NM and apologize for your unprofessional behavior. And yes, it was unprofessional. Writing and passing notes at the...

  4. HOT TIPS: a NuRsInG school survivor's guide for dummies ;-)

    jojotoo replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Keep your mouth shut, your head down, don't make waves. The whole point is to get through nursing school, pass the NCLEX, get a job, and THEN learn what nursing is all about. There's going to be a...

  5. Valsalva manoevre

    jojotoo replied to tahnz0's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you want a kid with otitis media to do a Valsalva

  6. Incompetent nurses

    jojotoo replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    So, I've gone back and completely reread Keith's original post and I'm not sure what's got so many people so fired up. He has not trashed ALL nurses, or ALL RNs. He's made it very clear that if he...

  7. Incompetent nurses

    jojotoo replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    Keith, I thought your post was very well written and had many valid points. I am a seasoned ER RN with quite a bit of trauma experience. But I have not had first responder training. If I was first on...

  8. Patients on Medicaid

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

    Many, many poor people have children and manage to support them without public assistance. That's all I'm

  9. Has your hospital closed the floor for low census?

    jojotoo replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, due to low census our med/ surg floor has been closed for most of the summer. We then combined our M/S patients with the tele patients on another floor. Because of this, the nurses that have...

  10. Patients on Medicaid

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

    Actually Steph, I don't think that's completely correct. What the law states is that medical care cannot be delayed by asking for financial info. Most ERs have taken that to mean that until the...

  11. No blood draw from IV starts?

    jojotoo replied to Larry77's topic in Emergency

    In my ER, on day shift, the RN starts the IV or HL and then calls lab for the blood draw. On night shift, the RN starts the IV or HL and draws blood at the same time. This is departmental policy. We...

  13. Admit Orders in the ER

    jojotoo replied to Toquay's topic in Emergency

    We are required to take admit orders, and we hate

  14. Being denied employment because of a credit check :(

    jojotoo replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    This sounds very bizarre to me. A credit check is going to furnish your credit score. 780 is an excellent score. So how can you have bad credit? Also, most employers don't ask for a credit check...

  15. hard time getting help

    jojotoo replied to nitewarrior's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'll have a better chance of this not going to the BON if you get the lawyer

  16. apart of RN job duties ?

    jojotoo replied to Ilubrize's topic in General Nursing

    There will be days that you'll be grateful that it's only poop you're cleaning

  17. Pay rate in Los Angeles

    jojotoo replied to ICU_JOSIE's topic in California Nursing

    This is actually a little on the low side for an RN with 7 years of experience. Not a lot low, but a little low. And as for the agency getting a "cut", they usually negotiate a higher salary with...

  18. anybody who is hep B REACTIVE

    jojotoo replied to k_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Silentfades - what a great, informative answer.

  19. Hep B Vaccine

    jojotoo replied to shannonFNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not so sure that you are protected with only 2 out of 3 vaccine injections. Some people get the whole series and are not protected. If you're really worried about it, best to have a titer

  21. would you do it?

    jojotoo replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    If management isn't going to support this new employee now (by giving her a couple of extra orientation shifts for the peds patients), how much support will she be able to expect later when she has a...

  24. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    jojotoo replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    Then get a PMD. Make use of the clinic. Use the FREE clinc if that's what you need. Not every ER has a "minor treatment area". And even if they do, those areas are pulling staff and resources away...

  25. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    jojotoo replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    Then they should get a friend, get a hobby, get a job, go to church, go to school, do volunteer work - GET A LIFE!!! But DO NOT come to the ER with your whiney, self-centered, infantile demands for...
