    Impaired nursing not cool

    teeniebert replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Next time she goes off to 'hide' have another nurse or aide look in the room with you. Write an incident report stating "at 5:30 pm on 12/4/09 Nurse X was observed by This Nurse and That Aide lying...

    teeniebert replied to VM85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks so much for the MedScape link! I was worried about getting all my credits by March, but there are so many articles that look interesting there, I think I'll be fine.

    Health guidelines for admission to camp

    teeniebert replied to JaClasse's topic in Camp

    We check heads, feet, and temperatures at check-in. Lice = home. No exceptions. If a camper has s/sx of athlete's foot, they have to wear shoes (aquasox or flip-flops) for showering and the shower...

    teeniebert replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Got my H1N1 shot 3 days ago. My arm was a little sore that night and I had a slight headache (although that could've been from work). The seasonal vaccine was worse--I was super tired and my arm...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    teeniebert replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I realize you like to keep late hours, and that is your right, but I need to get my work done. My shift ends at 11. If you ask me at 10:45 to 'come back later' with your meds, after asking the same...

    Just whining!

    teeniebert replied to RhiaRN75's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. I sometimes lie 'upside down' on my bed, with my hips where the pillow usually goes and my legs up against the wall. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but it really does help with the...

    teeniebert replied to RhiaRN75's topic in General Nursing

    Too Uptight?

    teeniebert replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Not uptight at all. I wouldn't have given those meds. The only exception to "don't give what you didn't prepare", IMO, would be if a nurse is working with a preceptor and doesn't have their own...

    Things you don't want to hear your Aide say

    teeniebert replied to readytoroll's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    New on the job and scheduling/leave

    teeniebert replied to SiempreBella's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely be up front. If you let them know now, the scheduler can pencil in which days you're unavailable and hopefully it won't be a problem. If you wait, you might end up scrambling at the last...

    teeniebert replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is common--incident reports are for the facility's use only, for tracking and quality improvement. However, there are usually other places that all the info from the incident report needs to be...
