  3. Bathing critically ill patients?

    Ms Kylee replied to DOHALT07's topic in General Nursing

  4. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    Ms Kylee replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    All day yesterday, patients kept saying to me, "You're my nurse". I kept repeating "No, I'm your nursing assistant. _______ is your nurse." I can't really blame them as most are in the middle/late...

    Ms Kylee replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    Ms Kylee replied to centralflorida's topic in General Nursing

  13. Do you envy 1:1 sitters?

    Ms Kylee replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    No way... I need to be out on the floor and checking on patients, doing vitals, passing linens, and helping everyone else out. At my hospital, 1:1 sitting is considered light duty, so if someone is...

  20. What do you want a Student nurse to do?

    Ms Kylee replied to sunnysandiego's topic in General Nursing

    On the current clinical, one nurse is really bitchy and snotty. I think it's because she wants us to do her med pass, and we're not allowed to---yet. It's just a matter of a few more months and then...
