  2. What do you think of JCAHO?

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like that Joint Commission has a serious public relations problem with the nursing community, judging by the disdain for them expressed on this thread. I think it's well-earned disdain,...

  5. Less than tactful know-it-all coworker with extreme need to be right

    GardenDove posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, one of my partners in the ICU is a nurse whom I'll call 'Jack' (not his real name) I started a thread about a vanco peak and trough question, where Jack had confronted me in report, when I was...

  6. Less than tactful know-it-all coworker with extreme need to be right

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Let me just say that I normally get along with Jack, I enjoy working with him, he's intelligent and compassionate, but he's a cocky know-it-all at times, and it does get old. He's always citing how...

  7. My poor co-worker!

    GardenDove replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our OB floats never take pts with open infections, or RSV babies, or anything else that they could transmit back to moms and

  8. Funniest Write Up You have Every Recieved?!

    GardenDove replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    Some places definately seem to have more of a culture of ridiculous write ups. The unit I work in now doesn't use them unless it's warrented. When I worked on med-surg, there was some silly tit for...

  9. Charting

    GardenDove replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Last place I worked had computer charting, it was timeconsuming and inefficient. They ended getting rid of it after I left. Where I work now is getting it this year, and I'm sure it will be a PITA and...

  16. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    GardenDove replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    I believe I refer to it earlier in this venerable thread. It was a short article in a recent Nursing 2007 that cited a study that showed the benefits of napping for

  17. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    GardenDove replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    When you are on your unpaid break, the pt isn't "under your care", so it is a moot point. The pt is under the care of another person. If that was my loved one, I would be glad that the nurse had...

  21. My poor co-worker!

    GardenDove replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's totally bogus. She hadn't taken report yet so she hadn't abandoned her patients. I'm so sick of management like that. One time I was floated over to OB to be the "NICU" nurse, since they...

  23. Your Supervisor and Your DON

    GardenDove replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    My manager is a nice lady who unfortunately has to work under this evil SOB. She's the only remaining manager who has survived his tenure here, which adds up to about 3 years, I figure. Someone added...

  24. Your Supervisor and Your DON

    GardenDove replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Our DON is Satan's spawn. He is a Hitleresque man with an ego that borders on
