  1. Colleague treats tech like a slave. Would you intervene?

    I<3H2O replied to cbcle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also work with a nurse who treats others horribly at times. I call her on her crap EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear it. Mgmnt doesn't do anything about it. It's kind of one of those "that's just how she...

  2. Langston University, Probation?

    I<3H2O replied to Nicoleyr's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Wow, why the hostility? Your comments really come off as hateful and rude. Isn't everyone entitled to their own opinion? As far as people don't just quit nursing programs, I know a girl who DID...

  3. Does Oklahoma recognize "graduate nurses" as a hired position?

    I<3H2O posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I hope I am wording this correctly. Can a facility employ a person who has graduated from nursing school but has not taken boards as a Graduate Nurse? Do they have to stay on as a Nurse Technician?...

  4. If a MD says "Don't Call Back"- do you write that as an order?

    I<3H2O replied to proudnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I simply would ask the doctor, "Sir/Ma'am, would you like me to write an order stating not to call you back?" Of course, this would be done in a syrupy sweet

  5. RN who has not worked in the field in 11 years

    I<3H2O replied to tishasheree's topic in General Nursing

    I think a better question here may be, do YOU feel SAFE going back into nursing after an 11 year leave? Have you completed any CE during this 11 years? That is a REALLY long time to be gone after...

  6. Can you give additional doses of a PRN to increase an already given dose to a range?

    I<3H2O replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    Our P&P where I work is very vague and does not cover this topic well. It is generally understood however that if you have an order for Morphine 4-8mg q4hr PRN pain then we give the 4mg first....

  7. Formalin handeling and storage

    I<3H2O replied to lhawkins's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility, those who use Formalin are given cups with Formalin in it. If for some reason, they have to use a different specimen cup and pour the formalin over the specimen then they are required...

  8. How much time do you have to get the pt. to the admitting unit?

    I<3H2O posted a topic in Emergency

    I could not find where to search this board about this topic. I was wondering if you all had a policy in your ED that says how much time you have to get the pt. to the admitting unit. If so, could...

    I<3H2O replied to MarkieMark's topic in General Nursing

  11. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    I<3H2O replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    How silly is this assessment policy? Assessments q8h but you work 12 hr shifts? Sounds like a policy left over from the 8hr shift days. Does your state require q8h assessments? I am not sure I...

  12. happy nurses day/ week or is it health care workers week?

    I<3H2O replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    At our facility, they called it "Nursing Services Week". They "celebrated" nurses, CNAs, volunteers, CRNAs, Scrub Techs, Transporters, etc. I know that the CNA brought a bag of candy to our unit one...

  13. What constitutes a preceptor?

    I<3H2O replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    We used to not get anything. Now, we get $200 when the 6 weeks of orientation is complete and an additional $200 after the nurse has been there a year. This is only for new grads, I

  14. What size scrub pants do you wear and what size jeans?

    I<3H2O replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    5'4" 150lbs. I wear about a 12 in regular jeans but a small in Urbane scrubs. I LOVE that I can wear a small. I've never been a small in ANYTHING.

  15. When do I contact the BON?

    I<3H2O replied to elizabeth8503RN's topic in General Nursing

  16. comfort care vs dnr

    I<3H2O replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the doctors at my facility do start librium on alcoholic patients. To me, no code means that we are doing everything for them that we can do until their heart stops or respirations cease....

  17. undeserved promotion?

  18. How do you address your patients?

    I<3H2O replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I always say the same thing, "Hello Mr or Ms. Lastname, My name is N and I will be your nurse today. I will be here until 7pm whether or not you are." I have been a nurse for 6 years. I think I...

  19. Where are the candy stripers?

    I<3H2O replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Our Candy Stripers are now called Volunteens. Our regular volunteers which used to be women wearing pink (we called them Pink Ladies) are now just volunteers.

  22. first admission all the time

    I<3H2O replied to TA123's topic in General Nursing

  24. Difficult Doctors...Vent

    I<3H2O replied to joanna73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We have one doctor that is like that where I work. He is like that to almost everyone, except me. I called him out on his bad attitude. If he gives me a hard time, I give him one back. Then, when...
