  1. Is there ANY department in nursing that I can avoid cleaning up poo?

    Ms Kylee replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I will freely admit that I hate the stuff.... hate it... hate it... every stinking thing about it.... BUT.... if my patient is bed deep in it, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm putting on gloves and...

  2. terminated

    Ms Kylee replied to lynn0808's topic in General Nursing

    When I thought people were giving me bad references, I would call the company, put on a different accent, and say I was checking references on Kylee. I always asked "Would you rehire her?" I was...

  3. would like day shift to remember there are two others!

    Ms Kylee replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Our 7-7 charge nurse is always bakiing... she bakes just for the heck of it... someone's birthday, someone passed boards, etc...so we can count on a cake or brownies when she is working. Last Sunday,...

  4. Please help needing immediate advice!!

    Ms Kylee replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be out of there so fast, I'd leave skid marks in the parking

  5. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    I swear, the third room on the right side of the hall is the helpless room..... every person that is in that room suddenly becomes helpless the second they walk through that door. They forget how to...

  7. cna's doing dressings??

    Ms Kylee replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, nursing assistants cannot do dressing changes. Patient Care Techs (one step above NA, but still below Nurse) can do more advanced things like pulling IV's when patients are...

  8. It's 6:59!!! For pity's sake!

    Ms Kylee replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    That's half of the problem.... by the time nurses get report and out to the floor, I had what needed to be done done. An extra 5 to 15 minutes isn't worth arguing over and nurses are still in report....

  9. It's 6:59!!! For pity's sake!

    Ms Kylee replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I will stay and get what needs to be done done. I have a hard time passing stuff off that I could have very easily done. However, if oncoming shift tells me to go home and they'll take care of it, I...

  10. What is your take on multiple family members in room when they have roommate?

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

    We have one FF who is in her 90's, from a nursing home (I swear they dump her on us at least once a month for the 2 week Medicare paid stay). She's no trouble because all she does is sleep. Her...

  11. It's 6:59!!! For pity's sake!

    Ms Kylee replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    Our telemetry unit is notorious for transferring patients up at shift change. Never mind that we've had word and voice care for half of the shift. Outgoing shift will do the settling and vitals,...

  12. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    Ms Kylee replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    And then there was the incident that happened tonight.... The nurse helped me with a patient who hasn't had a BM for several days... so tonight was the big night. Nurse and I were in the room getting...

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

  16. Wondering if I should continue

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It just really hit me out of left field. Everyone told me how wonderful this place was to work for, and how well they treat their employees. Maybe she's just mad at me because I had to finish my...

  17. Wondering if I should continue

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I've decided I'm not going back to them. I did receive a phone call the other day from the Inpatient Hospice unit at the nursing home I did my first clinical rotation. They need volunteers, so I'm...

    Ms Kylee replied to runnernurse487's topic in General Nursing

    My gut tells me to have you work the last week, but I also understand not wanting to. Been there, done that. In the end, you have to be the one to decide what is best for
