    Nurses that kill

    Spidey's mom replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that this could be a grand discussion as noted. Maybe re-title the thread? The Intuition of Nurses. Or something. (As an aside - Nurses THAT kill grates on my ears of course - Nurse WHO...

    Unusual treatments

    Spidey's mom replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming you are being sarcastic here in saying that "benzos surely work with all stage of sleep, that's for sure . . .". During that Grand Rounds on Insomnia - benzos were NOT indicated as a...

    Resident fell, now I'm fired

    Spidey's mom replied to gonegirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did! My first thought as well. Good grief, you were set up to fail here. Very unsafe. My mom is in an Alzheimers Lock-down hospital. There are CNA's everywhere! It is amazing and I'm grateful....

    Sorry about the attachments. Not sure how I ended up with 3 and they are so big. I've asked for some help from staff in fixing the images in the

    Unusual treatments

    Spidey's mom replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    "Natural" cures are huge here in the USA. (That's not necessarily good if people completely turn their backs on medicine though and that is happening). Local woman with 6 kids is advertising for...

    Notes in 3rd person style

    Spidey's mom replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is standard of care documentation - using "this nurse" instead of "I". So far in my searching regarding professional nurse charting rules, this is the standard answer. It was what this...

    Notes in 3rd person style

    Spidey's mom replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    The passive voice, I was taught, leaves too much information out. The only place I chart on paper anymore is when a hospice patient is in LTC because they don't have EMR there yet. And so if I'm...

    Notes in 3rd person style

    Spidey's mom replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in California - and we were taught to chart in the third person. As stated, takes ourselves out of the picture and focuses on the patient. I always chart that

    Mean girls....OR Bullying

    Spidey's mom replied to DoingGodsWork's topic in Operating Room

    This is exactly right. There are "mean" or rude people in every field. It isn't just nursing. However, the majority of us are not mean or rude. Don't buy into that stereotype please. People can...

    Spidey's mom replied to AllieSparksRN's topic in General Nursing

    I follow a hospice chaplain's blog. Love the name of his blog by the way. Death Pastor: Defining Bereavement, Grief, and Mourning…and the Blessings Therein. I follow this blog because it is...

    What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I agree with give the Lasix as ordered now. I'm just going with the options offered. (Once an ER nurse, always an ER

    What does an order of "Q2D" mean to you?

    Spidey's mom replied to Manofstone's topic in General Nursing

    Me too. Nurse-brain . . . . . I still chart on paper in LTC when we have a hospice patient there. I love that. Seriously. (I'm not a fan of electronic medical records as many already know...

    Hospice????

    Spidey's mom replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    We don't put people to sleep. I truly dislike the image hospice has for some people. We've talked for years about working hard to change that image and have worked hard on it but still, the image...

    Pearsonvue trick June 2015

    Spidey's mom replied to HealthyFuture's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with this. Not sure why someone is in such a rush to find out ASAP or I'll die! Maybe part of the nursing history folks learn in school should be about how nursing school used to be and how...

    Spidey's mom replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I took a class on the history of vaccines a month ago with Dr. Paul Offit and it was awesome. I'd never heard of Coursera before and now I'm interested in taking more

    Spidey's mom replied to TiniestLights's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I'll just have to disagree that the first months are not magical. They were for me. I loved every minute of it. I also postponed nursing school until my youngest was in 1st grade. I...
