    Scheduling difficulty

    crissrn27 replied to amanurse75's topic in General Nursing

    If you are in a position to be able to actually do it, I would tell manager/HD, whoever, that you were hired for the 3p-3a shift and if that is no longer available you will have to start looking for...

    Sticky removal from skin! aka Today I was the patient

    crissrn27 replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    There is actually a whole group of people that enjoy the smell of skunk. They have a website! I read an article on this the other day. I found that baby powder works good on electrode sticky spots....

    Cold Sore!

    crissrn27 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would call and talk to the charge/supervisor, etc, the one who would have to take your call-in in any case, and ask what is expected of you. I would think if it isn't actively draining that it...

    Restraints during surgery

    crissrn27 replied to Shore Bookworm's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My mom says that was the absolute WORST thing about having babies in the 60s-70s. They strapped both her arms down , as they did back then, and she freaked out. Good thing I was an oops, or she would...

    HIV positive nurses

    crissrn27 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Since HIV is considered a disability, it would be discrimination for any nurse to be denied a job because of her/his HIV status. Plus what racing-mom

    Is it illegal for nurses to call in scripts?

    crissrn27 replied to mayelaRMA's topic in General Nursing

    If I understand what you are saying, then it isn't illegal, actually, it is very common for non-nurses (like office staff) to do this. IF it is just a refill of a regular med, where the dr. has seen...

    L&D nurses? Are you all for natural births?

    crissrn27 replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did notice my views getting in the way when I was doing L and D. Not that I let it affect pt care, but it was sad and dis-hearting to see so many pt taken for a section b/c the dr. was impatient,...

    Have you ever gone in to find a patient dead? What happened?

    crissrn27 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've found/seen many dead, as I worked in LTC for a long while, and of course you see the fetal demise, etc with OB, but the one that stands out in my mind the most was actually a lady I knew from the...

    crissrn27 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Let us concentrate on this one statement. WTH!!!!! Please tell me I misread this, or you mistyped it! So, if you guys are to do all of this, you are just going to have 1 pt on the medical floors,...

    They Called Out WHY??????

    crissrn27 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I once was a supervisor at a LTC place, and had a DON!!! call in drunk more than once. She would actually say "I'm too drunk, just handle it yourself", and the stuff was serious, like a family...

    I was slapped by a doctor!

    crissrn27 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Ease back guys! This girl is a new nurse, probably worried about her job, etc. I am sure she would appreciate any advice you can give her, but making her feel worse isn't going to help

    how should this situation be handled?

    Dealing with personal prejudices?

    crissrn27 replied to purplepanda's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Speaking as one of those teenage Moms , I would have been very upset if my nurse had express disapproval about me "keeping" my baby. Everyone says it was different with me because I was married, but...

    Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    crissrn27 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    That drives me crazy too! Lol, wonder where it came from? I guess the people saying it could think they are saying the pt o2 status is such and such? Anyway, know where you are coming

    I was slapped by a doctor!

    crissrn27 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Its easy for me to sit here and say I would have done this and that, but the truth is I probably would have been exactly like you, too shocked to say a word. I would definitely do three things, if not...

    Possibility of EMT after nursing??

    crissrn27 replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    Now this is just hearsay, but around here I have heard that you can take the paramedic test if you are an RN. I do know several RNs that do volunteer EMT, and they actually don't have to do anything...

    Charting Issues that Really Bug Me!!!

    crissrn27 replied to al7139's topic in General Nursing

    When I took over MDS at a LTC place a few years ago, I found on the careplans for everyone in the building to have a pedi once every three months. Nice huh? Especially since at least 25% where...

    crissrn27 replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    When I started in nursing 10 years ago, my base salary as an LPN was 12.50!! an hour. Base for RN was 16.00. That has gone up quiet a bit. Currently I make 0.00/hr to be a housewife, Lol. Talk...

    At dinner out, I am chastised for drinking before work by manager -- help?

    crissrn27 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely wouldn't care if my nurse had 2 oz of wine 3 hours before shift, nor if the bus driver had the same before driving my kids to school. I think we Americans are very prudish, snobbish,...

    crissrn27 replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you have such a witchy with a b patient. I think it's time to share the wealth, and let the other nurses have the fun of this lady for a while. Maybe everyone (except you, you've done your...
