I graduated from the RN program at Jefferson Davis in the Fall of 2007 and currently work as an RN here in Alabama. I think it was a good program. The teachers really were good at explaining things and the harder they were...the more you learned. I e...

Do you need a doctor's order to do an in-and-out catheter? my DON told me to do one to obtain a UA without a doctor's order and I told her no. know she is just mad with me...:argue:

we dont have standig orders, so that is why i didnt do it because i didnt have an order...just needed some backup thanks

they refuse to put any nursing assistant or anything with us... we had 31 patients the other night and they still had no help for us. our DON does do the staffing, everybody thinks she is "all that" so she answers to herself. she refuses any kind ...

Yes, a new nurse, and house supervisor. Yes, it is a small town hospital yes...new grad and house supervisor...yes....i was naive when i took the position because they did not explain to me what the job entailed (not even during orientation. I hav...

i have one on my hip...nobody can see it

My first code...I really don't remember my thoughts. It was a flight or fight response...i got in there and started do compressions....and continued for about 45 minutes with another nurse and I switching out

I work with one doctor that comes around on our night shift. She is awesome!! We laugh and cut up and we just really enjoy her and she is an awesome doctor who is all about her patients. On the other hand, we have another doctor that curses us out if...

Nope....Most of the time I am house supervisor and charge nurse with my own load of patients...not time...i did catch a couple of the employees in the gerio psych unit and lets say next time a notice of concern will be written with a picture from my ...

I live in Butler County. New Grad. Base pay $18...$3 shift diff. 12 hour shifts. sign on bonus

I live in Alabama and I use one!!!

SO... I was coming onto shift the other night and getting report and all of a sudden a code is called to one of our rooms. I had not been on so did not know who was in that room. But one of the other nurses knew who it was and ran out the door. All ...

Definitely not at the hospital work at...they will hound you for as long as they see fit. It is a small town hospital and if you mess up they will joke about it for months to come

I was just thinking that the aide should have been notified on who was a DNR. Thank you

1830: arrive at work, get census 1900: listen to ALL reports...urggg 1930: do assessments, vital signs...depending on how many patients I have it usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour 2000: pull all 2100 meds and chart until time to give 2100: give ...

If you think that it is not right for you...then it isnt. Its your license and you do what you feel like you need to do.

If the work is something that I started...like admitting a patient or something of that nature then i think that it is my duty to finish it. i never leave unless i know that my stuff was done. I have stayed two hours passed my time to go to finish s...

we only have 3 RNs on night shift now...our patient load is usually 4 or 5 but there are some nights 7 has come into play. i wont take any more than that...too dangerous and it is my license on the line!!!!

Congrats and I would call the nursing recruiter and tell her the situation that you are in and tell her that you would love to be there and meet everyone but you unfortunately have class and clinicals to attend

I work nights and we consider the "weekend" friday night and saturday night
