  3. The more experience you have the less you are paid???

    fedupnurse replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    It probably wouldn't happen if you were union. Another way to boost your pay is if your facility has clinical ladder type programs. I did mine as soon as I was eligible and if I hadn't done it way...

  7. Ativan, insulin, alcohol drips on floors?

    fedupnurse replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the tip on the Nubain. We don't use it much in ICU but we are seeing more and more patients coming in with pain patches on. Good to know.

  8. Practical jokes at work

    fedupnurse replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

  10. Practical jokes at work

    fedupnurse replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Before my time here, there was a very very stupid resident. The head of Infectious Disease told me this story a few years ago. He said this guy was so stupid that one time during a code, the other...

  11. merit based salary increases

    fedupnurse replied to woo 2's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  12. Ativan, insulin, alcohol drips on floors?

    fedupnurse replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    There is a reason why hospitals have ICU's with far lower N;P ratios than the med surg floors. I wouldn't be comfortable with any of these on a med surg unit. I've done the alcohol drip a few times,...

    fedupnurse replied to thisnurse's topic in General Nursing

    TID where I work is defined as 9a 1p 5p. BID is either 9a 5p or 9a 9p. If a doc wants it q shift he should write q8 or q

  14. Cross-training

    fedupnurse replied to Claire RN's topic in General Nursing

    Cross training is useful if you are working in both areas frequently enough for the training to be remembered. If that makes any sense. Our hospital floats people constantly and doesn't cross train....

  15. What Freaks You Out?

    fedupnurse replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Does the sight of doctors or administrators nauseate anyone else??? I'd take a lunger hocking up a lugie with a leach on his leg and his brain oozing out any day than deal with some of THOSE

  17. Is Nursing a good career choice for moms?

    fedupnurse replied to MELIS0106's topic in General Nursing

    If you are going to work staff in a 24 hour unit in a hospital you will have to work a certain number of holidays and weekends. Our FT work 3 holidays and every other weekend. Part time 2 holidays...

  18. Practical jokes at work

    fedupnurse replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    fedupnurse replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Time to revive this thread. It's a great one. They say (don't know who they are) that there are 3 criteria to become a ghost: 1. die unexpectedly 2. Die a violent death 3. Die in the middle of...

  21. Just found out I'm Anemic...

    fedupnurse replied to kristi915's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you need a second opinion! If your doc is telling you to do what you already are doing, I would think a prudent doc would want to investigate why you are anemic. A lot would depend on...

  22. Floating of ICU RNs

    fedupnurse replied to braveheart's topic in MICU, SICU

    Our hospital is like a giant float pool. ICU goes to Tele, OB goes to pedi, etc. The kicker is they can send you out of the float district if it is a "bonafide emergency". What crap! They engage...

    fedupnurse replied to kmchugh's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Kevin, I'm an ICU rat. I deal with CRNA's all the time. I work in a teaching hospital. I think CRNA's are a Godsend, especially in July!!! There are a couple I don't like but it's because they...

    fedupnurse replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    The grossest thing I ahev ever seen was a few years ago when we had a patient that had a crani. Her cerebral edema was so bad that the area where her skull had been cut split apart and, yes folks,...
