Yes you are right. Noone should ever write anything to anyones order. This issue should be addressed with your manager. That nurse should have written a clarification of the order if she had talked to the physician about that order. Good eye. Ha...

OMG.........get your books from school out and start studying. Take a NCLEX review if you can. Get some NCLEX books from the bookstore and just start doing questions. Get into a facility in whatever patient care capacity you can and act like a spo...

I think you should go where your heart desires. Who cares what other people think. The fact that you are a nurse tells people that you are caring and compassionate. Good luck with all that you do.

My best friends mother had cancer. She was a JW. Her siblings we devote JW. Her daughter was a nurse and not a praticing JW. She (the mother) needed a transfusion, but she held off and held off because she was so afraid to tell her family for fea...

Wow!!

I think it's foolishness to put a new grad in a CCU or ICU. Ahhh just my 2cents........I really liked Sue's 65 cents worth

I think med-surg is very important. I work on a telemetry unit, we do many dangerous cardiac drugs and we have new grads here all the time. It is very scary. I think there are very few new grads who are ready to go to the critical care units or th...

Im glad I dont work there!! I'd report him, every facility should be fostering a mutually respectful working relationship between nurses and doctors. We need to work together for the good of the patient. :)

What was the injury? A little bit more background please. Personally I think way to many people jump on the bandwagon to sue. I think this country is full of people who don't want to accept that accidents happen, people get sick or hurt and most o...

You will give your children the gift of understanding what hard work and dedication will get you. It will not be easy there will be times where you will want to quit, but if you have the strength to endure, you will be rewarded. You will feel fulfi...

My daughter was going into junior high school and I started asking her what she wanted to study in college. I knew that unless I set an example and went to college myself, she probably would not. I had always been a waitress. I was 30, I wanted a ...

So obviously most of the posts are for going to the family function. Theres always going to be a do gooder in every crowd. One who would always follow the rules and put work above family. I applaud you for following all the right channels to get c...

Recently our hospital is changing the required colors for all staff. They wanted to have the RN's distinguishable by their uniforms. A vote was taken and RNs starting on September 1, 2007 will be in black or white as a standard RN color, but black ...

Hi I've worked nights for 5 years. I love it. On my first night off I sleep 3-4 hours and get up, that way I'm a littled rested, but I'll be tired that night. Day people have no idea what it is to be a night shifter! I truly have so much pep all ...

I've been a nurse for five years and two months ago I had a laminectomy and diskectomy. This job is not only emotionally stressful, but it is physically stressful. New nurses make sure to watch your body mechincs.
