    Repat replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    We just got a directive to take rectal temps on our ADULTS if oral isn't possible. Axillary is no longer acceptable. Tell you what - it hasn't

  4. I wish I had a nickel for........

    Repat replied to petiteflower's topic in Emergency

    I'd like to have a nickel for every patient I get up on the floor who has pages of home medications, who brought the list with them, gave it to the people in the ER to copy, sent it home with family...

  5. I must be stupid - help needed

    Repat replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    That was a good link. I looked at it, and it looks as though you do need your transcripts. What a stupid requirement if you are already licensed and working in another state! I would find it a...

  6. Survey: Do you leave work at your scheduled time on a regular basis?

    Repat replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I make a point of leaving on time. However, it is very often at the expense of my lunch and breaks. We get daily nasty notes about clocking in too early, and clocking out late, so I figure I am...

  12. Who ARE the LEADERS in Nursing???

    Repat replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    lee1 - You are so right about doctors and nurses running the show - it was better. Level playing field - doctors did not stand to make major money by running a corporation. I do think that makes a...

  13. Who ARE the LEADERS in Nursing???

    Repat replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    lee1 - I, too, hear your frustration. And, I agree with you. The "Head Nurse" used to be seen as a dragon, demanding things be done right, but also sticking up for her staff who got things done...

    Repat replied to autimom4ever's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I saw a post in another thread from a CA RN. The hospitals are complying with the ratios, but they have let all the CNAs go. So, you are now an RN with 6 patients and no aide. Better? I don't...

    Repat replied to ParrotHeadRN's topic in General Nursing

    Repat replied to my2sons's topic in General Nursing

    Dialysis has always intersted me, too. I must speak to the nurses who come to our hospital. I really do like the hospital, but these days it's just too dangerous. I'm stressed before I go to work,...
