    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    If everyone reviews the OP statement, she is one of two caucasians in a facility made up primarily of Phillipino co workers. She obviously feels left out. While I think it's great to speak many...

    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow never said that...! If I choose to place myself in another environment I expect I won't know the language, HOWEVER, when I work in an ENGLISH speaking country/hospital I expect that conversation...

    Not my job, but I got involved!

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to MAISY, RN-ER's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, it was no different than seeing someone collapse and everyone walk past. I am still fuming over the lack of urgency that occurred with regards to the situation. I am angry that I had...

    Propofol used for palliative sedation

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to 64rcs's topic in General Nursing

    We use propofol alot in the ER, I know they are using more and more Fentanyl drip PCA in palliative care. The hospice we used for my father in law no longer uses iv anything. Everything is oral, or...

    Not my job, but I got involved!

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to MAISY, RN-ER's topic in General Nursing

    For that day my job was not direct patient care, more of a coordinator of care. The department is a specialty under the umbrella of my entire ER department. I occasionally rotate into the area, but...

    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Again, private conversations usually occur privately. Speaking in a foreign language and creating an atmosphere of exclusion is wrong. It's rude...it shouldn't happen. No one says that communication...

    Re: Holding a med d/t POA's request

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to beachcomber64's topic in General Nursing

    It would depend....if required to LIVE, I'd contact physician. What is the POA's reasoning?

    does age REALLY matter?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone should always be learning and growing, however there is nothing to say that someone in their 50's cannot continue with their schooling ...they may also have degrees from former careers which...

    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    My point exactly, I understand Spanish sooooo much better than I speak it-I've forgotten a number of integral words, but remember when they are spoken AND UNDERSTAND. I have heard plenty that I...

    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Read my last entry-private conversations should be held away from a group....oh, and about Europe....they are kind and speak in English for us one languaged Americans-they get the rudeness part.

    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    No one has a problem with a personal conversation that would occur betweem two people APART if it is PERSONAL. Otherwise in common areas it is rude to speak in another language, especially if one...

    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    I was taught it was rude to speak another language in front of someone....switching from English to whatever language-of course this is only if they don't speak English(like coworkers or friends...

    does age REALLY matter?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    Can't imagine where you work that older workers are providing this image....if so, obviously is hospital culture and allowed. I don't know anyone who works that way-older or younger. HOWEVER, LAZY...

    Use of IV push antihypertensives on the med surg unit

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to will robinson's topic in General Nursing

    Definately with you! Only work ER, can't imagine having a patient who needs iv anti htn meds on a non-monitored floor! Even someone with hx of afib, tachy or whatever....so used to having the...

    Restocking

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to EMSnut45's topic in Emergency

    While I agree it is not fiscally sound if there are patients to care for....if there are few in the early AM, then it is less so for an RN to sit around, instead of preparing their areas. Anyway, I'd...

    Restocking

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to EMSnut45's topic in Emergency

    While I think stocking is important, patient care is more so! ER clinical technicians in my facility are not CNAs, they perform phlebotomy, ekgs, and testing...in addition, they perform hands on...

    MD/NP in triage?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Dixielee's topic in Emergency

    We started doing ATP-advance triage protocol without a doctor/NP/PA. Anyone with CP that's been cleared by EKG and anyone with abdominal pain have standing orders. CP-cbc, cmp, trop.....Abd...

    Use of IV push antihypertensives on the med surg unit

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to will robinson's topic in General Nursing

    What medications? The medication's requirements are what will drive ability to push, anything that will change bp that much must be monitored! We push alot of different meds in ER -our patients are...

    does age REALLY matter?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    Honest question from a younger student nurse....the same question my kids asked when I returned to school after being downsized out of technology management. My immediate response is to get cranky,...

    thoughts on only Paralytic while intubated....

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to MassED's topic in General Nursing

    If someone is tubed in our ER, it's almost always succs and etomidate. Then, ativan and propofol drip....if our anesthesia intubates it will be propofol push and then drip. It just depends....no one...

    I cringed on the inside

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I know you are venting, but at least the mother is making an attempt at keeping her kids active and is taking them to the physician-checking their health! There are so many kids that are not moving...

    St Barnabas Livingston New Grads

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I know starting rate is approximately >$30.00 per/hr at SBMC, Livingston, NJ. While the NYC salary sound great, there are multiple things to be considered. First commuting time-there is nothing...

    Are all floor nurses rude to ER nurses?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Andy S.'s topic in Emergency

    Personally I think the whole report thing is overblown-the full floor assessment must be done by the receiving nurse. Other than vital information-meds given, abnomal values, things stuck in the...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    Generalizations are always dangerous! New nurse Everyone carries their cells. Ipods are allowed to be docked at the station on the lowest settings. Camraderie is encouraged-WE NEED TO DEPEND ON...
