    feebebe23 replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

  4. Medication Errors and Write-ups

    feebebe23 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get me started on this one! GRRRRRR! Guess what happens when you start writing up, disiplining, firing nurses over med errors? They stop reporting med errors. Obviously, if you have the same...

    feebebe23 replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

  8. What is the typical day like for a labor and delivery nurse?

    feebebe23 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am not saying it's not possible. You just have to understand that you will be required by your license and legally to be "just as responsible" as a 20 year veteran L&D nurse. The most...

    feebebe23 replied to eriksoln's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. Crazy things pt's do for pain meds.

    feebebe23 replied to eriksoln's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Those are pretty awesome stories....my personal favorite. Had a patient go into the bathroom and sprinkles water on her IV site. Then she throws a hissy fit that her IV was "leaking" and she was not...

  12. Help! ? about fetal monitoring

    feebebe23 replied to Lovelee82's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it was a true STAT and not just emergent then you wouldn't doppler for FHTs in the OR as long as you know you have a viable fetus. You can also skip the shave, the SCDs, surgical counts,...

  13. Clock OUT and IN for lunch in a NICU???

    feebebe23 replied to Jerico's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They are doing this at my facility also. The Labor Laws state that you are to get 30 min "away from your work area." So the hospital is just trying to inforce that. Which I get. But don't worry,...

    feebebe23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    feebebe23 replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "pit to distress" is not a real order that you are going to see written on a chart. It is a slang term used by L&D nurses and docs. The other more commonly used phrase is "pit'em and commit'em"...
