  1. Do you chart in the OR?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in Operating Room

    If so, what do you

  2. Would this happen at your ER?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm a brand new RN on a MedSurg floor. I had a patient last night that had an awful nose bleed around 5am. The doc consulted an ear, nose and throat doc to come in since the bleeding would not stop....

  3. Is 2 Per Diem Jobs unrealistic?

    AlisonBSN replied to brighella's topic in General Nursing

    Some people in my graduating class did that. I think it's a great idea. You'll have more of an idea what you want to do and where you want to go when you graduate. Good

  4. Would this happen at your ER?

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in Emergency

    I'm the OP again (if you didn't notice my name) When I left I cleaned up all the stuff, and the guy that ended up helping me told me which stuff I could throw away and which ones needed to be taken to...

  5. Would this happen at your ER?

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for all of your responses. The doc said to take the patient down to the "treatment room" in the ER. So I went bouncing down there asking for the treatment room, and they just put me in a...

  6. Are there any Oncology travel nurses?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in Travel

    I can't find any for oncology. I think I might be transferring off of my MedSurg floor, and they mentioned this oncology floor on another campus. I guess oncology experience would still be similar to...

  7. Pt stole from a worker?/drama

    AlisonBSN replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing

    There's a reason why people say not to leave your things lying around...because it might get stolen. Nobody's happy that it happened, but when you leave your things lying around someone that requires...

  8. Nurses: Who came from a dysfuntional family?

    AlisonBSN replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

    I think 75% of PEOPLE come from dysfunctional families. We're all a little dysfunctional

  9. Is this normal?

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Someone asked what my preceptor was doing... She knew I was behind, and knew I still hadn't had lunch at 2pm when the cafeteria closes. She said she would like to help me but she can't do that...

  10. Is this normal?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new RN and I'm in my 6th week of orientation on a MedSurg floor. I'm orienting on days, then I'll be going to nights next week for a few more weeks, then I'm on my own. It's been kinda hard for...

  11. How would you have dealt with this situation...

    AlisonBSN replied to 1hotRN601's topic in General Nursing

    Some CNAs will say that even if you aren't new...You're gonna hear so much passive aggressive crap like that. You learn to laugh at it. That phrase is probably heard in hospitals all over the...

  12. Any Computer Science majors out there?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do any of you have two Bachelors degrees, one being non-healthcare related? If so, which was harder for

  13. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm new to nursing and new to the politics in the hospital. Since I've been on orientation I've witnessed a few situations that left me wondering. Like about ethics... For instance, we had a...

  14. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't think the whole family story is relevant. Neither is my belief that the daughter is a loser. I will say that the hospital knows this family, she's a frequent flyer and related to some of...

  15. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    And I wasn't shaking my finger at you, Suesquatch. That was my personal rant about her putting Iodosorb on the sacral wound, and Dakins on the feet even after we told her it's the other way around....

  16. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    The patient has MS and receives a check. She was alert and oriented, it was her decision. I felt sorry for the granddaughter because her mother has made a living from caring for her mother and has...

  17. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    barbyann - I wish I would have thought of that earlier. Thanks for telling me what I can do about it, even if I can't win them

  18. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    No I have pretty close to the whole story. I think you missed the part where they did send her home to her family yesterday just because the daughter would rather have her home than at Hospice House....

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Please excuse my oddly placed dancing

  20. Secondary IV tubing question

    AlisonBSN replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    That does seem like a neat way to do it. I don't know what our policy is, but my preceptor told me that secondary tubing is only good for 24 hours, when the primary tubing is good for 96. Another...

  21. On the Job only 1 week and want to leave!

    AlisonBSN replied to SweetieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have her home or cell number? If so, I'd leave her a message saying that it's very important that she call you back. If she doesn't call back, then I guess I'd leave a message. It may be...

  22. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    AlisonBSN replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Come on now...it makes sense. This person has obviously been just as dedicated as anyone, but most nurses will admit that there are changes that should be made, and would be made if we'd stick...

  23. Where do you live when you travel?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in Travel

    When you're a travel nurse, do you have a primary residence or do you move from location to location without ever "coming

  24. Changing careers but discouraged by a failed student

    AlisonBSN replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'd tell her to buzz off! Sooooo many different kinds of people are nurses...and soooo many different kinds of people go into nursing school. I had absolutely no experience when I got accepted into a...

  25. Do you really want work with foreign nurses?

    AlisonBSN replied to lucinka's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read the whole thread, so I don't know if anyone has said this but: There are so many foreign people in nursing already that nobody thinks anything of it. I work with several foreign...
