  1. Don't know what to do! Help or advice welcome!

    MoopleRN replied to pinknurse_84's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't make sense that you're not allowed to retake those classes. If you register for a class/pay for it, you should be able to take it as many times as you wish. I agree with ukstudent; talk...

  2. Different colored scrubs for RNs and LVNs?

    MoopleRN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting thread/replies. At my previous facility, nurses/aides could wear whatever scrubs they wanted (though several nurses wore white). At my current, new facility, nurses must wear a combo of...

  3. new nurse going to night shift

    MoopleRN replied to megster's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Pros: no meals/visitors/doctors more time to spend comforting/reassuring shift differential less stressful as a rule more time to look up P&Ps/familiarize yourself with them the phone is quiet...

  4. Any ideas??

    MoopleRN replied to Jniniffer's topic in General Nursing

    I agree getting some CNA experience will be a huge help. I was required to take the CNA course as a prereq for my nursing program (we weren't required to take the state certification test, just pass...

  5. First Impression of a CNA job

    MoopleRN replied to FinderKeeper's topic in General Nursing

    You do come across as "green" as well as very kind/motivated. I hope you don't lose that. The "green" will wear off eventually and when it does, you'll be even more valuable as a caregiver. It's...

  6. Mrsa.....

    MoopleRN replied to TeresaB930's topic in General Nursing

    So what's the solution? If it goes to the soiled utility room, who knows how long it sits there? And once it leaves there to go to the kitchen, how is it supposed to go? If it goes by cart, how does...

  7. shake and shout no more?

    MoopleRN replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the online course hasn't been updated. AFAIK, it's tap, not shake. Shouting vs asking won't harm the person either way but a shake may surely cause further injury. Shake and shout sounds like a...

  8. Mrsa.....

    MoopleRN replied to TeresaB930's topic in General Nursing

    Good questions and I agree with your critical thinking. Trays are removed by gowned/gloved personnel (may be nursing or dietary) and are placed in a separately contained area of the meal cart. If the...

  9. Med Error

    MoopleRN replied to JRNEW's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take your time passing meds. Yes, you're busy and will get interrupted but this is one area where you want to be extra careful. If I'm in a med pass and somebody beeps me or asks me something, I...

  10. I am so stupid!!!!!!!

    MoopleRN replied to edisonnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're not stupid, you're inexperienced. Take advantage of your coworkers' support; they will be happy to give it. I felt the same way you did, still do to some degree, but you! can!! do!!! it!!!!...

  11. Mrsa.....

    MoopleRN replied to TeresaB930's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility if a patient is on contact isolation, regardless of cause, the only thing that can leave the room are meal trays. Equipment for VS are left in room and NOT to be used for anyone else...

  12. OMG, just please kill me now!

    MoopleRN replied to *Andrea*'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    Like the OP, I'm about to start my 1st job. Thank you, mjlrn97, for your reply. It was thoughtfully written, objective, and reassuring. You must be an awesome nurse! Thank you for those words of...
