  1. Can nurses wear skirts?

    jill48 replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    jill48 replied to mukhorty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was going to LPN school my father told me I would never make it through. I think part of me wanted to prove him wrong. I love nursing and I have loved it every single day for the eleven years...

  8. Do you think the pain scale is accurate?

    jill48 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very satisfied with both the faces and the rating of 1-10. I don't describe 10 as the worst pain you can imagine, but as the worst pain you have ever experienced. This may not work for children...

  9. Allnurses.com history?

    jill48 replied to OBNURSEHEATHER's topic in General Nursing

    Brian, you have no idea what a godsend this site is to so many of us. Some of us have questions, some need emotional support from others who know how they feel, but my favorite thing to come here for...

  10. What would you have said to this??

    jill48 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I would go directly to my nurses notes and chart word for word what that turd said, in quotations, and then call the medical director and request another doctor take over that patient's care. I would...

  11. Ethical dilemma

    jill48 replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would have given it too. The family said out loud what many of us are saying in our heads but do not let others hear. Always trust your intuition. We are nurses because of this intuition and...

  12. Removing Staples

    jill48 replied to luvmynursingjob's topic in General Nursing

    Staple removal is easier than suture removal. Like the other poster said, remove every other, then go back and get the rest. If I may offer one tip: Once you get the hook part under the staple, you...

  13. Tips on successful confrontation - your suggestions?

    jill48 replied to Kay Ciel, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you chart all of these calls you made to check the safety of the dosage? I would chart the calls: who I called, what time, the name of the person I spoke with, and their response- in quotes. I...

  14. Take action, or not?

    jill48 replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    Someone needs to stand up for what is right. If he thinks he can kiss coworkers like this, what does he think he can do with his patients?

  15. Posters that are not nurses

    jill48 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    When you have your license and you come on hear with a problem, seeking advice, and some unit secretary or CNA tries to tell you what you did wrong. Everyone is so upset at the OP, but I totally...

    jill48 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Am I the ONLY nurse who is afraid of the oxygen tanks? I know it sounds silly, but I cringe and jump back every time I have to get a new one and open it. Isn't that

  17. new nurse on orientation,questions?

    jill48 replied to fredyjen's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you give notice, it won't be hard for you to find another job. As a new nurse, you may have to try out a few different nursing jobs until you find what suits you. There is nothing wrong...

  18. What do you do when CNAs dont work and just take breaks and watch TV?

    jill48 replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    Not only would I write him up, but I would be watching him constantly and getting on him to work every time I saw a problem. There is no excuse for slackers. But I do know what the original poster...

  20. giving report at end of shift

    jill48 replied to RNinED's topic in Emergency

    I don't think I'm understanding the problem. Are they actually walking AWAY from you while you are speaking, or are they just not looking at you? I'm busy from the moment I walk in to work, and that...

  23. "Closure" with long term patients

    jill48 replied to Kytrejela's topic in General Nursing

    For me, closure is after I get all of the family members there to say their goodbyes and then I can say, "It's okay now. Don't be scared. You can go if you want." And then hold their hand or brush...

  25. What do I tell her?

    jill48 replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    She abandoned her patients and her job. She has to be reprimanded for that as the state sees fit. She had to have known this was going to
