strange ....she did a seminar here a few years ago

I love the charting on the invisible foleys that are "patent"

I believe the author's name is Moira Jones?

Have you read any info on the Gentle Care Method.......we used it in the Alzheimer's facility were I used to work and it was very successful. You may want to read it and pass it along to your staff and management.

Celexa works for me.....................

Amen!!!!

Sounds to me like it's time for the schools to do a reality check. Nine years ago when I was an LPN student my instructor was a retired nurse.......same when I went back for my RN. They had to take classes in order to use the computers at the hospita...

I totally agree with the answers and rationals above.

My son had the same reaction.

In the emergency room women and men are held in mixed rooms with privacy curtains. In the observation unit there are 4 bed rooms which often hold mixed patients.

52, 10 years of bedside nursing. 2 surgeris this last year and now I am told no more bedisde nursing......... What am I supposed to do now?????

Hi.being new to our hospitals medical floor I have noticed that there are several creative worksheets in use..................since I need to find one that works for me I was hoping some of you might offer some tips or even forward me copies of what ...

Wouldn't it be nice to have to hem your pants? At least when you are shorter you have that option............we tall people don't get enough material

I think it is funny when the catalogs advertise "now in petite sizes" and then the "talls" are 34 inches long...............I also HATE when my socks/legs show when I am seated.

Yes that is the way I am heading. Nurses work very hard mentally and physically. It is hard to find the jobs that don't require lifting. Also the pay is lower and I am unsure of benefits. the hospital had some good benefits.

Oh I never meant to start a dispute over who works harder...........I was just saying that I can not return to hospital work. Any hospital work.

I just set up an interview with the local Optin Care office. They are looking for intake nurses and case managers. Gosh I hate starting over again.

It's all about give and take. Never do tooo much of wither. Balance is key.

HMMMMM.............JUST INTODUCED AS THE PREFERRED WAY OF CHARTING IN OUR HOSPITAL. wE ARE TO GO TO THE IOS, OBTAIN THE NECESSARY INFO AND NOTE IT IN OUR SHIFT SMMARY ON THE COMPUTER. Sorry for the caps...........seems like total redundancy to me.....

So where do you work?

I think ISO for "history of" is crazy but it is policy so we do it. If it was in a wound and the wound is healed I use standard precautions. Hx of airborne and no cough present then I don't gown or mask. I too get annoyed when there are new admits an...

Anyone watch this morning? Their medical expert was on giving tips to patients on how to prevent errors while they are in the hospital. One thing she mentioned was that hospitals (nurses especially) need to go back to being more professional. She men...

Just found out I am to have this surgery on the 28 th of this month.Any floor nurses out there who have had this done? How soon were you able to return to work? Any ifo appreciated, thanks Emme

Seems like unacceptable behavior to me...............also very juvenile

Freedom42, thank you so much for pointing out that the original thought of this thread had to do with nurses lack of a professional or uniformed look which makes it easier for patients and family to immediately SEE who the Nurses are. Though I am no...
