    "I" careplans

    crissrn27 replied to crissrn27's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Would you be willing to send me a sample through the message center here, or I could send you my email address? My DON really doesn't like the I format, but the rest of the team does, so I'd like to...

    other nurses not letting you do your job

    crissrn27 replied to karenp31's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I had a situation like this on Monday. A nurse was mad b/c weekend shift hadn't done the MARs for the new month for 3 new residents (understandable mad), and just was in a bad mood. She refused to let...

    turning/repositioning program

    crissrn27 replied to rukiddingme's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I haven't been coding it (only been back in MDS world for a few weeks), for the same reason you haven't. It isn't set up here as a program (no documentation, no evaluation, etc). My regional MDS...

    Blame nurses

    crissrn27 replied to sam20007's topic in General Nursing

    I lol'ed b/c thinking back on this, it seems so much like an episode of "Saturday Night Live"! Anyone with eyes could see I did the majority of the work on the baby, yet the doc got the "glory". I...

    Blame nurses

    crissrn27 replied to sam20007's topic in General Nursing

    I've told this story before, but here it goes again. I once went to a c-sec for fetal distress as part of the nursery team. Which consisted of me and a doc, btw. They give me a limp, blue, mostly...

    A bunch of questions!

    crissrn27 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    A small amt of meat tenderizer in a peg is not a big deal. We eat it, remember? Now, I wouldn't put more than you would normally consume in a meal in the peg. It really does work, along with coke, it...

    Is the RN liable for other's actions???????

    crissrn27 replied to nursemate19's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that more and more md's are working with MA's instead of nurses. I once had an MA start an IV on me (thought she was a nurse, and was to sick to question at the time), of course she bungled...

    Below 3.0 GPA and you still got in?

    crissrn27 replied to MsKaz's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago, lol, I got in nursing school with NO gpa. I had not taken a single prereq, and still got in, mostly because they had a unexpected spot open. They called me up a day before start time and...

    Breastfeeding and working...was I out of line?

    crissrn27 replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you are having this trouble, and I wish I could speak with your coworkers for a few min., lol. They really wouldn't like it if you had to be out 2x-3x more with a sick child if you...

    Giving a gift to a patient??

    crissrn27 replied to EllenDeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I second the read your p and p manual, but..... I always kept outfits in the stock room that I got at clearance sales, for any pt that might need them. There was usually someone I knew personally...

    Am I wrong to think...

    crissrn27 replied to rmarz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree, start the paper trail now. Every time a resident is sitting with a leaking diaper, and they are ignoring them, then you need to write it down, keep a copy and give it to the DON. I am so...

    crissrn27 replied to StrwbryblndRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't cry much, either. Well, let me rephrase that......I'm apt to cry at sob songs, movies, etc, but when something really matters I tend to not cry. Just how I am, I guess. Maybe all those...

    I cant take it!~!!!

    crissrn27 replied to bullesh's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of how many pt there are, I would NOT be the only nurse in the building. How are you going to manage a code? A fire? etc, etc, etc. I would run away as fast as I

    Cup feeding associated with longer hospital stays

    crissrn27 replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have noticed that your poor breastfeeder is usually a poor cup feeder. I tend to think those kids have a belly full of junk, or they are just weirded out by the whole eating seen,

    Grades don't matter!

    crissrn27 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for almost 10 years. No employer has ever asked about grades, never asked to see a transcript, and at this point I can't remember very much about my grades, lol. I was a good,...

    crissrn27 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    What a heartwarming story, that this MD and RN cared so much, that they spent their own time, money, and hard work to build this for the child. I am so glad they mentioned the RN helping him, so many...

    Ok, OK, I'll chime in from the other side. I have a 12 y/o ds that is "technically" overweight. He is 5'4" and 140lbs. Our ped is very obese, lol, and has not mentioned it. My son could give lessons...
