  3. Day Shift vs. Night Shift

    queenjean replied to keaton90's topic in General Nursing

    To address the OP's questions specifically-- In our hospital, night shift is responsible for the 24 hour chart checks (to make sure every order from the previous 24 hours was entered into the...

  4. Do you remove occluded or infiltrated IV right away or wait until new start done?

    queenjean replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    I *usually* remove it when I discover it is bad. The exception to this is if I think the site might be saved by someone more skilled than I (AKA IV therapy team). If it's a young un with great...

  6. Med-error & down n the dumps

    queenjean replied to Advocate1's topic in General Nursing

    I read it that Mulan is suggesting the NURSE, the OP contact a lawyer if she gets fired over it, as she states she followed the correct facility procedure for reporting med errors, and that she has...

  7. "Are you an RN OR LPN ????"

    queenjean replied to notsosupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if she requested the pharmacist to personally handle all her medications and med orders, or was it acceptable for the pharmacy techs to be involved as

  8. Med-error & down n the dumps

    queenjean replied to Advocate1's topic in General Nursing

    Did you learn something? It sounds like you did. You changed your practice, and won't let it happen again. Are you being hung out to dry because the family made a big stink? Sounds like it to me....

  9. "Are you an RN OR LPN ????"

    queenjean replied to notsosupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    I was an LPN for several years in this hospital before becoming an RN this year. As an LPN, I always wrote my name and title first on their board (we have white boards by each bed) and introduced...

  10. Dry, Chapped, Cracked, Burning Hands

    queenjean replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    I use the Burt's Beex Coconut foot creme (simply because that is what I have on hand, ha ha). I don't use it at work--I don't use any lotion at work. But before and after work, and every night in...

  11. Online LPN

    queenjean replied to ExAirBagRN's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is 4+ years old; you should try the main student forum. The only online programs I am aware of in this state require clinical time in the state; you may be able to find something else,...

  12. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    queenjean replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    That would be very professional of you. Actually, professional or not, it would be a kind and humble act that would probably make both you and her feel

  13. Patient's and Angry Families

    queenjean replied to Daisy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I look them in the eye and apologize. I don't try to make an excuse, I just apologize and then fix it. "I am really sorry that your mother did not get her scheduled pain pill. That was...

  14. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    queenjean replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. If she had represented herself as a *patient* who was requesting an licensed practitioner, she would not have needed to be "professional." However, she took it further and represented...

    Thanks!!!!

  17. Aspirate Always?

    queenjean replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    I interpreted the CDC link to mean that, even if you hit a vessel and get blood return, because of that angle of the needle, it's unlikely that you are going to inject into the vessel. I can see both...

  18. I have a question about lpn's

    queenjean replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our hospital used to hire a lot of LPNs--now they say they are only hiring LPNs who are completing their RN. That said, we have plenty of LPNs. They work Peds, mother/baby, and as scrub techs. One...

  19. How many are PP nurses? LD nurses?

    queenjean replied to cherokeesummer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just started in this facility. I work PP and peds, and will eventually cross train to nursery and/or L&D. In our facility, all these are rolled up into one department. We are a small...

  20. How do you feel about taking pictures with your patients?

    queenjean replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I normally don't want my pic taken either; but I LOVE to have my pic taken with family; I will always comply if they ask, and I always offer to take a pic of the family if I see a camera lying...

  21. Please read I can cry- student in desperate need:(

    queenjean replied to tiffany311's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why not google anatomy and physiology notes and see what pops up? Is your class schedule on line? Could you not look up the things that you know you have already studied on the internet? Do you know...

  22. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    queenjean replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    We've recently seen several girls who collapsed within 24 hours of receiving the vaccine (most within 2-8 hours). One has still not completely recovered, the other couple recovered within hours. A...

  24. 3rd shift always leaves on time... I never do

    queenjean replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I work nights, I almost always leave on time. There are a couple of reasons for this. 1) The busy part of my shift is the first 8 hours; it's pretty slow after that. Once I finish early rounds,...
