    Documentation "No-No's"?

    teeniebert replied to elb252's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This may vary by facility, but I've been told never to document "med xyz unavailable". You can circle your initials on the MAR and document "med xyz ordered from pharmacy" because it says that you're...

    teeniebert replied to LongislandRN23's topic in Camp

    Welcome, SnowshoeRN! Camp nursing is the best job ever, especially if you can get hired at the camp you attended as a child. I've done 3 summers at "my" camp and loved it. The pay isn't great, so...

    teeniebert replied to Poi Dog's topic in Nursing Humor

    wait, what's 'non-recreational drug use'? is that the new name for a smoke break? this list needs some additions--going to break room for coffee, convincing co-worker to go to break room for coffee,...

    DOH showed today while I was out playing.

    teeniebert replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the OP said she did anything wrong, but a visit from State surveyors/DoH folks usually feels like a game of "Gotcha!" Sometimes they'll follow you and watch while taking notes;...

    Oh, the Q is silent...

    teeniebert replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Nursing Humor

    There are a few med names I can't quite say. One of them is HCTZ. Yep, "HCTZ". I can say "hydrochlorothiazide" pretty reliably, but the abbreviation trips me up! I'll post again when I remember...

    teeniebert replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Another part of the problem is that education doesn't go as far as it used to. My grandparents were able to get full-time jobs and support their families with a high school education. My parents...

    teeniebert replied to Double-Helix's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The best shoes I've found for work are MBTs (similar to Shapeups). People ask me all the time, "Hey, do those work?" and I have to answer, "That depends, what do you mean by 'work'?" I have no idea...
