  1. Do You Have To Work Med-surg??

    Ms Kylee replied to nursingisforme's topic in General Nursing

    I hope not... I'm just a few weeks away from my year as a PCT on a Med Surg/Oncology floor and I HATE it... hate it in nursing school too. I can't decide on a specialty either... don't want critical...

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

    Ms Kylee replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I work with lazy ones... and I also work with RN's that I absolutley love, but can be aide hogs. They won't let you go about the rest of your day until THEIR patients are all bathed, changed, etc....

  4. When you overhear...

    Ms Kylee replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Nope.. keep my mouth shut.. except when it's my Mom.. she keeps insisting her neighbor had a "rotator cup tear" and my Dad had "trigemini neuralgia"... I still can't get it in her head

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

    Ms Kylee replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN! I had one LPN on my rear end for the last 5 shifts. She's notorious for only wanting to pass her meds and sit on her butt for the rest of the shift. She abuses the aides something awful. She...

  6. Any techs out there? How many patients are you assigned?

    Ms Kylee replied to liljeepster's topic in General Nursing

    Our biggest problem is we have one tech that calls off constantly. She was scheduled Friday-Sunday. She called off all 3 days. We got someone in to cover for 7-11P and they promptly got pulled to...

  7. Why do some still sick pts get the boot, while needy not too sick ones stay too long?

    Ms Kylee replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know, and I wish I did.. I've had a whole wing of them for the past 5 days that should have been outta there 10 days ago. And one train wreck that is way too sick for our floor.......

  8. to sleep or not to sleep???

    Ms Kylee replied to trmr's topic in General Nursing

    I was always told to wake them up... they're in the hospital, they're on our schedule not theirs, etc. But I still hate to do it. Last one I had one complain that I woke him up. HATE when that...

  11. Almost lost my temper today

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Been on what I call the geriatric wing all last weekend and this week. Lots of completes, and I usually don't mind, except for one patient who I swear, hates me. He is difficult at best, and...

  13. Hospitals That Phase Out LPNs

    Ms Kylee replied to psalm's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on a leave from LPN school due to family issues. I went to the part time program, and I have 10 months to go. I only chose the LPN program because it was the only program that worked with my...

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

    *Singing* Thank God and Grayhound he's gone! He was discharged this afternoon right when lunch got to the floor. The new patient in his old room is adorable, precious, and just as sweet as can

  16. "Patient" or "Client"?

    Ms Kylee replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely despise the term client. They aren't my clients. They are my patients. Everyone on my floor uses patients. I also have a problem with residents in LTC because they are patients

  17. Almost lost my temper today

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

    Before the code, I ran into the family member in the hallway who keeps appealing the discharge. She complained about the food, and how he hates the soft food, the veggies, etc. Then she said "I'd...

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

  22. Almost lost my temper today

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

    Yes, I've been looking elsewhere, but I'm tied into a year contract until the end of May. If I am assigned to him today, I'm going to charge and demanding that I not take care of him and I'm going to...

  24. Nickle and dimed!!!!!!

    Ms Kylee replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I try very hard to get everyone pulled up, fluffed, puffed, bathed, and fed on time. Problem with my floor is that when sufficient aides are scheduled, one either calls off or gets pulled. The two...

  25. Does this concern anyone else?

    Ms Kylee replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the DON needs a course in Infection Control. I glove up every time I'm in a patient's room regardless of MRSA or not. If I don't protect myself, no one else
