  1. Snow..... bad weather

    Ms Kylee replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh... Thursday night coming home was just awful.. and I'm terrified to drive in snow/ice. Thought for sure I was going to get broadsided again... some idiot driving in the passing lane way too fast...

  2. panic every time...

    Ms Kylee replied to BethT's topic in General Nursing

    With me, it's poop... can't stand to look at it, smell it, or clean it up. C-Diff poop will make me gag faster than Mario Andretti winning the Indy 500. BUT... since it's my job to clean it up, I...

  3. Probably Paranoid, but....

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly do not remember if I put my gloves on or not. I didn't get a needle stick, BUT I do have open areas around my knuckles (non intact skin) and around my cuticles from washing my hands, and...

  4. Probably Paranoid, but....

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    No, no needle

  5. I have never been nasty to a student until now!!!

    Ms Kylee replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I HATE having to use the cell phone that I am required to carry with me while at work. The call bell system is integrated into it (sort of like a pager) and when that thing goes off, it is so loud it...

  6. Which unit would prepare me best for nursing school?

    Ms Kylee replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Nursing

    We average at least 1 code a week on my floor. In addition to being Med Surg, we're also the oncology floor... lotta sick

  7. You're too sensitive...

    Ms Kylee replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Heck, I get told it all the time. I can't help it, I'm human. And at least my patients know I care about

  8. Which unit would prepare me best for nursing school?

    Ms Kylee replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a Med Surg floor and I've gained tons of experience that translates very well into my current clinicals. I started as a Nursing Assistant and just got promoted to Patient Care Tech I. I...

  9. Maybe nursing's NOT for me? :( Suggestions/Advice?

    Ms Kylee replied to NewYorkGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I started out being queasy about stuff too, but the more I did it, the less it bothers me. Had a patient with a really nasty yeast infecton on her backside. Totally gross... but I got over it....

  10. Officially a Patient Care Tech

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've had the class, and gotten to wear the new scrubs, but have been getting signed off on my tasks for the past 6 weeks. This afternoon at 4PM, I performed and got signed off on my last (the...

  11. Should I say something to this student?

    Ms Kylee replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Nursing

    Where I am doing clinicals now, the hospital staff from the CNA to the RN's don't have a problem telling my instructor when we do or don't do things (like didn't take vitals, didn't change bed, etc.)...

  12. Nurse not seeming to care

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I worked 3-11 yesterday. Patient seems to be more A&O and more talkative. He claimed he was feeling better when I talked to him and did his vitals last night. I worked with a...

  13. Nurse not seeming to care

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I worked with this nurse on Thursday and yesterday. I don't get assigned to her often. Thursday, she rode my butt about the stupidest things. (Did you get them water, did you this, did you that,...

  14. puching out 'no break'

    Ms Kylee replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    I take my lunch. I have the others cover me, and I go. I have to for my own sanity. 17 needy patients every day is enough to send me running for the hills in search of sanity. That half hour that...

  15. How do you nicely handle a patient who is 'needy'?

    Ms Kylee replied to hollyberry678's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have had one for the past several days. She didn't like the other PCT but for some odd reason, she adores me. Tonight, she's NPO for tests tomorrow and she's worried. She also has slight dementia...

  16. Nurse not seeming to care

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, she didn't follow up, but she could have and I just don't know about it. She just seems very obsessed about the more mundane things (like did I pass the water, did I do I's &...

  17. Rules of Nursing "Office Politics"

    Ms Kylee replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    This particular nurse I am discussing is very disorganized. She is consistent in hunting someone down to do something for her throughout the shift. She will take 20 minutes to hunt someone down to do...

  18. Waiting 7 hours for an appointment

    Ms Kylee replied to pyunnyhana's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing my ER rotation now. I've been in the ER for 21 hours and I can attest that the ER nurses work their rear ends off. I worked my rear end off and loved every minute of it. Granted, I did...

  19. I no longer do direct patient care

  21. Rules of Nursing "Office Politics"

    Ms Kylee replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    And DON'T find something for the aide to do 5 minutes before their shift is supposed to end. Some of us have committments outside of work and we need to leave on time. It was probably something you...

  25. I need your help, please....I might fail ):

    Ms Kylee replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Students

    I think you might be able to qualify for a PCT position right away. I had to wait 6 months (till my orientation period was over) before I could apply. My class was 16 hours, which included about 4...
