  1. "Writing up" use or abuse

    RN1982 replied to zuzi's topic in General Nursing

    I only write up dangerous or potentially dangerous situations, not an antibiotic being a bit late because of a blood transfusion. Incident reports are only for situations that could have put a patient...

    Um priorities here. I think the PRBC transfusion would be more

  5. Things you would love to tell your management and get away with

    RN1982 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't finish your story. You left out the part about whether she helped or not. Did

  6. Customer Service, Very Busy Day

    RN1982 replied to RN1020's topic in General Nursing

    I take issue with the VIP designation. First off, I don't care who you are, where you came from and what you do. The care I give to my patients doesn't change because of the amount of money someone...

  8. If you breastpumped at work, were your coworkers supportive?

    RN1982 replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I really feel bad for you. Well more so the women you work with who are breastfeeding. I find this comment to be a tad ignorant. When you are pregnant or breastfeeding, I'm sure your opinion will...

  9. CNA or Nurse Extern

    RN1982 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think thats the case if you use their loan forgiveness program. I never had to sign a contract saying I would stay two years so I don't know where this rumor is coming

  10. If you breastpumped at work, were your coworkers supportive?

    RN1982 replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    It's really sad that even women can't be sensitive to a mother's needs. 10-15 minutes to pump every few hours is not long. Why encourage breastfeeding if you aren't even going to be supportive of your...

  11. Nervous over possible termination

    RN1982 replied to funsizedliv's topic in General Nursing

    The longer we constantly stab each other in the back, pick on each other, accept heavy and unsafe workloads and patient assignments, the longer we are going to hinder our profession. We need to be...

  12. CNA or Nurse Extern

    RN1982 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, you can take the NA job. But since you don't start orientation until 3-9, you have time before you hear back for any extern positions. Why not accept the NA job and if you get called back for an...

  13. Nervous over possible termination

    RN1982 replied to funsizedliv's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats. I'm glad you did not get terminated from your job. Take this opportunity though to look for new positions elsewhere. Even though they transferred you to the other unit, you will still be...

  14. Unfair treatment by co-workers/boss

    RN1982 replied to MultipNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have no idea, first time I worked with her so I don't know what she was like to work with before her

  15. Nervous over possible termination

    RN1982 replied to funsizedliv's topic in General Nursing

    Listen, you need to put in applications elsewhere. Go to interviews if you are called. Hey, if they fire you its a blessing in disguise, just don't lie about it if you go to other job interviews. What...

  16. Unfair treatment by co-workers/boss

    RN1982 replied to MultipNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That brings up a good point. At what point is it ok for a pregnant nurse to NOT help? I'm just curious what you think. I worked a couple weeks ago with a float nurse and I needed to turn my patient....

  17. Nervous over possible termination

    RN1982 replied to funsizedliv's topic in General Nursing

    Why can't they give you another RN instead of having you do all of the workload. I wouldn't worry about the NP, she can get the VS when you are good and done with all of them. Put in applications...

  18. Violence in Prison? Are they common?

    RN1982 replied to Marin2x's topic in Correctional

    I don't see a problem with the statement about not letting the inmates know that their remarks bother you. I think the more you let on that something bothers you, the more the person will do or say...

  19. Unsafe staffing revisted - what is the cause at your hospital?

    RN1982 replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    We are fully staffed where I work. At my last job, we were short staffed all the time. No float pool to help out because all the nurses were prebooked to go to other units. We were told to suck it up...

  21. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A co-worker of mine who recently got off orientation told me that at the last hospital he worked at gave him zero orientation when he was a new grad. They told him that they do not have the budget to...

  22. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I love the idea of nurse residency. I think orientations are great but for someone fresh out of school a 12-14 week orientation will simply not

  24. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think some people are taking Ruby's viewpoints a tad personally and I think some of the comments made about her viewpoints have been rather rude. She has experienced these things first hand. She's...

  25. Are you often 2 hours late for meds?

    RN1982 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I'm ever two hours late on meds is if a patient is going down the tubes. You need to tell her that being late on antibiotics is unacceptable. Was she having a busy day that she got...
