  1. That Day In The ER

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    The beginning started out just as I had expected until about an hour into my clinical. One nurse grabbed me and told me to go to Trauma Room 1. I assumed I was just to observe, so I quietly stood...

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

    For the last darn time... I am NOT your nurse.. I am your Patient Care Tech... I do not know what meds you are on, what time you get them, or anything else about your case. It's my job to make sure...

    We empty and chart Q shift unless it's full in the middle, then it gets emptied and charted then. I'm anal though.. if I see a bag starting to get full, I will empty and chart it, then empty it again...

  10. CNA=Slave???

    Ms Kylee replied to j_b_221's topic in General Nursing

    We're all overworked, underpaid, stressed out and burnt out. Short staffing is rampant on my floor. I also have one aide that calls off usually 3 out of the 4 days she's scheduled to work, so we're...

  11. CNA=Slave???

    Ms Kylee replied to j_b_221's topic in General Nursing

    All the time... one nurse in particular. All she wants to do is pass her meds and sit on her butt.. and while she's doing that, she's bragging about her son buying this new house in Arizona and how...

  15. Post mortem care

    Ms Kylee replied to mc3's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    If I didn't do post mortem care at my job, my butt would be hanging in the wind. Some nurses don't wash the body after death, and one told me that she wouldn't help me do it. I told her that was...

  16. I want her fired!!!!

    Ms Kylee replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    In my facility, bed linens are changed every Monday and Thursday or as needed. Just because Mom had fresh sheets every night before she went to bed at home doesn't mean she's getting them in the...

    Ms Kylee replied to 1las9630's topic in General Nursing

    You only need a C to pass.... I was always told that sometimes C students turn out to be better nurses than A & B students... don't be so hard on yourself. Anatomy is all memorization. I loved...

  18. Possibly offered 3-11 med/surg in hospital; HELP!

    Ms Kylee replied to mama_bird's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE 3-11. True, you might get slammed with admissions, but the staff doesn't seem to be so harried and hurried as they are on daylight. If you start the shift in utter chaos, things generally...

    Ms Kylee replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

  23. Developing Good Relationship with Death

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

    I didn't have a good relationship with Death until I sat by my Dad's bedside and held his hand during his final hours. During that time, I ran through the whole gamut of emotions... but in the end, I...

  24. Post mortem care

    Ms Kylee replied to mc3's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I always get you know what for washing them, but I do it anyway. I do this out of respect, but also if the family comes in, I don't want them to see blood, fluids, etc. True, the undertakers will...
