  1. And What Did YOU eat today?

    KarmaComesAround replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Funny someone brought up using the bathroom. There have been so many times I have gone almost an entire shift, then realize I really have to go. My "eyeballs are floating" as I have heard some say. If...

  2. Staff nurses and their bad attitudes

    KarmaComesAround replied to ShellyRSRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have worked day shift and night shift. I have seen it go both ways. It does seem like day vs night shift for some reason. In a perfect nursing world, nurses need to work together, be respectful...

  3. LVNs training RNs???

    KarmaComesAround replied to JStollRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a new nurse, I was trained by an experienced LPN. She taught me so much, and she was a great preceptor. She was actually the main preceptor on night shift, and she trained multiple new...

  4. Your work environment

    KarmaComesAround posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am back in school for my MSN. One day in class, the topic began about lateral violence and bad work environments. I read about it a lot on here. (A lot of good things on this site too, do not get me...

  5. Your work environment

    KarmaComesAround replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for all the posts so far! I can say a good bit goes on where I work as well. I am the same way as Need2Wings...work my days, exercise for stress, and every now and then, you need...

  7. IV Phenergan

    KarmaComesAround replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    We also have to mix it in a 50 ml NS bag. A good many patients who say "nothing else works but Phenergan" do not like that very

  9. PEG Tube to suction..

    KarmaComesAround replied to RN2114's topic in General Nursing

    I have not been a nurse for a long, long time, but the years I have been a med/surg nurse, I have never had an order for a PEG to suction, and I have had a good many PEG tube patients. NGT or...

  10. If Nursing doesn't work out,is Medical Lab Technologist ok for a "Prissy" girl ??

    KarmaComesAround replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

    This puzzles me. Someone is asking for advice, whether you like how they come across or not, why even comment on this? Really mature. Well, you told her. WTG. Go straight to someone's spelling,...

  11. How to refer to self when writing a nursing note

    KarmaComesAround replied to lashuna1028's topic in General Nursing

  13. Biting your tongue when it comes to visitors!!

    KarmaComesAround replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    Just an example... I have actually read on a public forum before about a person's significant other being in the ICU. They posted about how they "told that nurse off", they "did not care about...

  14. Nurses, do you immediately take bath after duty?

    KarmaComesAround replied to ms.pebbles's topic in General Nursing

    First thing I do is strip down, and I take a hot shower, then get in my pjs and relax. Then, I feel clean enough to veg out on sofa or bed, eat, watch some tv, then play around with my kids/the dogs....

  15. NEVER say we are short staffed.

    KarmaComesAround replied to TipitiwichitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have had patients and their families notice as well that I am on a constant go, go, go... They have made comments to me about being short-staffed, "the floor must be full today", and/or "you are...

  16. Written up today for something stupid

    KarmaComesAround replied to lylenrn's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry this happened to you. I agree with others...someone else is to blame, like the person that admitted the patient, or the nurse that did that first 24 hour chart check and missed it. I would...

  18. Difference Between a New Nurse and an Old Nurse

    KarmaComesAround replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    According to this, I am more an old nurse than a new one. Yay! 3 years as a nurse, and I still have moments I feel "new" at

  19. What would you do?

    KarmaComesAround replied to Lammy01's topic in General Nursing

    I had to page a doctor the other day, who returned my call. He was so rude to the secretary on the phone that you could hear him yelling. I got on the phone, and I gave him the patient name. He...

  20. why is a person so evil?..... venting here

    KarmaComesAround replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what others are saying. This is unprofessional, and it should not be tolerated for another nurse to bad-mouth another co-worker in front of the patient. She needs to be called out on...

    Hate posting a negative post, but.., AND IT WILL PROBABLY END UP TOO LONG. SORRY. VENT. I do hate to use the term "nurses who eat their young", but I am DEFINITELY dealing with one of those nurses....

    Thanks for all the input and opinions. Will take them all in! I even thought about calling her out on it if she was talking about someone that was there, maybe embarrassing her would stop it. An...
