    Med Errors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Medications

    this is precisely why i do not hesitate to 'write up' an occurence when it seems that it is more than a typical 'med ommission'. recently, there have been many chemo orders that were subject to...

    Funding for MSN Degree

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to imenid37's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    check out vicky's 'sticky in the educator forum, about nln scholarship for educators. it's a lot of paperwork, but might be worth it. i've been taking out stafford loans for 1 1/2 yrs now. they...

    Problems with References

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to BrownRecluse's topic in Nursing Career

    do you mind if i pick your brain for a minute? i am job hunting, and these things always make me nervous. when the application says "can we contact this employer" and you put no, that immediataly...

    Blatant Nursing "No-No's"........what's your worst???

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    In agreement. We needed a little reality check. After all, the thread says, "what's your worst?". That's exactly what I posted (months ago). It's so easy to point out the shortcomings of others...

    ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    Now, I have no experience in this arena (and am also dreading my 4 yr old growing up ), but with your experience, I would think that your opinion should count for something. Don't get me wrong, I...

    I dont understand why nurses do this to each other

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

    yes you do have to watch your license, as no one else will . this, however, should not be considered a liscense-losing event (as everyone stated, it is within our scope of practice). it is quite...

    Blatant Nursing "No-No's"........what's your worst???

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    And you still became a nurse (or were you a nurse already)? :chuckle

    Thinking about PACU

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in PACU

    this is something i never even thought about. thanks for the insight. this is something i actually did think of, both the bed vs. stretcher, and the time to get the pt. to the floor. my med/surg...

    Blatant Nursing "No-No's"........what's your worst???

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    i feel the same way where i work. it's as if we are telling the nm how to manage their unit, and it's none of our business who she disciplines and who she doesn't. i feel that way any time i need to...

    What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Just thought of another one (this is fun!!! I can't believe I didn't see this thread sooner!!) nurses who are 'special': -can't work nights -can't work holidays -can't work OT or be mandated -have a...

    What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    because of people like this, i've seen nurses who are almost afraid to tell me that they didn't get to do something. i've had this recently with some new ones. now, i work both shifts, so i know...

    What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    1) people who walk up to the nurses station and say "i'm looking for my mother". like i'm supposed to be psychic and figure out who your mother is without telling me. and patients (or families) who...

    Would you seriously consider quitting nursing

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    now that you mention it, what's up with that?!??!? i'm assuming you're male (6'4', named steve ). while i'm sure maybe a couple of male nurses have been yelled at, it's usually just a 'hey buddy',...

    Best staffed specialty?????

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    i know most will agree that it's not about the #'s but the acuity. but i think there's something to say about a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio, in a controlled environment. no matter how sick your 1:1 is, that's...

    Best staffed specialty?????

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    this surprises me, that you are so well staffed. i would think in the ed (as in l&d), because the census is completely unpredictable, that this would pose staffing issues. do you guys take call...

    Resume question

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Do you put "Mary Jones, RN, BSN" at the head of your resume, or just your name, and sign it with your title? Is it overkill to put the letters at the head? I don't have any other special...

    Education or None at All?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Tree2144's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't find your line offensive. It must be frustrating (as it is for Nursing Assistants) that people assume your next accomplishment, or stepping stone, will be that of RN. I used to assume that...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    But what does the nurse do? If it involves pt. complaints, it better be staffed well :chuckle

    Best staffed specialty?????

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    So, maybe I should rephrase. NOt 'what it's supposed to be' but what is actually happening? Other than in Ca (as a poster replied), are these ratios being maintained, unlike where I work, where peds...
