    Nurses Recommending Doctors?

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

    Is it possible to go with her to the physician? Maybe you can see what she is talking about...is the doctor not listening or is your mom not being clear with her symptoms? I used to make my mom...

    Nurses Recommending Doctors?

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

    I referred this same question to the case manager in my department when my elderly father in law came to live with us. I was given a number of geriatric specialists, however, she gave me her opinions...

    What do you think about Non-White Nursing Shoes?

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

    Black is the way to go!!! Hated white shoes!!!! For those who say you can't see what's on them-don't want to know-can't see microbes either!! Never wear them out of hospital anyway.

    Has anyone here wore a dress as a uniform?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Work with a couple of nurses who wear either split skirts(like culottes) and one who occasionally wears a jumper uniform. They say they are comfortable-I don't know, I don't think it would be my cup...

    Night nursing school in NJ ????

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

    Good Luck Zubi14! You will love the head of the weekend program Kathleen Horan-she was my 3rd clinical professor, she's smart, funny, sweet and an excellent nursing role model.

    ER Morale

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

    I have some suggestions that may or may not work. First your management team needs to be aware of the general morale issue. If they put their heads in the sand, then some of my suggestions will not...

    Dress codes/uniform policies

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

    In our hospital uniform is by area, or floor. In Er our base color for nurses is navy blue. I have both blue and black pants-my scrub tops are all variations of blue or match my blue scrub bottoms....

    GOOD Shoes

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you found the website. In NJ Foot Solutions stores sell the MBT and other fitted shoes. These shoes are very specific to your foot. My advise is to find them in your state and not order off...

    GOOD Shoes

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I had problems with both my feet and lower back from 13 hour shift. It was all solved with MBT Masai Barefoot Technology shoes. They are expensive....however, I can honestly say I haven't needed...

    Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

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

    Writing a sentence the way it might be spoken is usually a mistake, however, the "You Got Me!" was written as it was meant. In this case, to represent the outburst in writing that may have occurred...

    Dear Woody, I would never dream of correcting you....correct-c-o-r-r-e-c-t-correct. See Pink Sugar helped me back to spelling bee mode. Sister Rose, I'm back!!!! I couldn't help it. LOL

    A Bit of Confusion - ADN = RN?

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

    I am not sure...however, I believe if you can't assess or reassess a patient-how can you give narcotics. Also I forgot, LPNs can't push meds.

    Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    Almost forgot, was always told that respect for a patient or anyone else when discussing things started with speaking on their level. I don't need to use technical jargon unless I am speaking with...

    ?? for long-haired female nurses/student! How do you wear your hair at the hospital?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Athenas83's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing school (recent) it was mandatory that hair was pulled back-not necessarily up but back. I too hate wearing my hair up, so I'd leave it half up and half down. During one clinical in a...

    A Bit of Confusion - ADN = RN?

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

    LPNs cannot give narcotics, do a primary assess or reassess a patient, or educate. At least in my hospital, they are attached to an RN for any of those activities. Primarily used at least in NJ at...

    Disrespect

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

    I too experienced both sides. I knew my job as an aide and always tried to anticipate what was needed ( I was also a nursing student)-very rarely I experienced the "pointed finger" this was usually...
