  1. Would this have happened to a boy?

    RN1982 replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    Take your daughter to the doctor and demand a referral to another physician for a second

  2. Dangerous nurses

    RN1982 replied to funmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some of the new nurses I work with are dangerious. Examples of their actions would be continuing to press the silence button on the bedside monitoring because another patient's HR is 200 and not...

  3. Do nurses really have any power

    RN1982 replied to Quaffetti's topic in General Nursing

    I think its totally inappropriate of management to place thoracic patients on your unit especially if none of the nurses have the proper training to care for them and to understand hemodynamic...

  4. Bonus Checks for Marketing...More Pain for Nurses!!

    RN1982 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    The longer nurses are passive about the abuse that they receive from administration, the longer the oppression continues on our profession. It's time that we stand up for ourselves. If I worked in the...

  5. Good Old HIPAA Violation!

    RN1982 replied to shodobe's topic in General Nursing

    While, the punishment may be extreme. Think of what might happen to the hospiital should the patient recover and find out that employees were looking up his/her name in the computer system. You were...

  6. Bonus Checks for Marketing...More Pain for Nurses!!

    RN1982 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

  8. Was I wrong?

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So last night my patient came back from OR. I took care of this patient the night before and during my shift and the previous shift, he had some episodes of ventricular bigeminy that would last about...

  9. Was I wrong?

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Did an xray when the patient came back. It said the distal port of the cental line was in the SVC. So maybe it's not the central line? I'm not sure. But he has only had the bigeminy one time since he...

  10. Was I wrong?

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I told him I thought it was the central line possibly being in too far. I wasn't sure at the time if it was too far in because I didn't have a chance to have the resident look at the xray. What I...

  11. Was I wrong?

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add that the SICU residents are aware of the bigeminy and have not done anything further to address

  12. Sometimes its the little things that make me wanna lose it!!

    RN1982 replied to female12233's topic in General Nursing

    This is my "little thing that sets me off" My frustration last night came from my co-workers. I received report on a patient who was intubated and had an upper GI bleed. Patient had an NGT. The nurse...

    No. My bedroll consists of a fitted sheet then a draw sheet and two blue pads on top roll it up on both sides and fold it and when you turn the patient to change the linen you roll the old linen...

  14. Night shift vs Day shift: stop the hate

    RN1982 replied to Jack Hawaii's topic in General Nursing

    YOu know what, how about we go back to the original topic of this thread. I don't feel like causing an argument with anyone to the point that it gets this thread

  16. Night shift vs Day shift: stop the hate

    RN1982 replied to Jack Hawaii's topic in General Nursing

    It goes both ways. I came in an hour ago. I have some downtime right now so don't flame me but my patient is agitated and vented and the day shift nurse says oh he's been like that all day and when I...

  17. New Nurse In TEARS...

    RN1982 replied to NightNurse0711's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, they can't sue over having to stay another night in the hospital. It's their choice. They either stay or they go AMA and have to deal with the insurance company possibly not paying for the...

  18. Night shift vs Day shift: stop the hate

    RN1982 replied to Jack Hawaii's topic in General Nursing

    LOL thats funny. I did that one time at my old job. I had a patient who needed to have an enema and had to drink some mag citrate before a colonscopy at 2pm. I gave it at 6am. The nurse who had the...

  20. No Nursing Care?

    RN1982 replied to CNA_Timmy's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the area where the nurse works. I provide total nursing care because I work in SICU. I don't always have a CNA available to assist me. The same goes for when I worked on a...

  21. Night shift vs Day shift: stop the hate

    RN1982 replied to Jack Hawaii's topic in General Nursing

    True. Recently, someone ran to management at work and stated that nights wasn't pulling their weight. They stated to the manager that days gets more admissions which is not true because I've worked...

  22. Night shift vs Day shift: stop the hate

    RN1982 replied to Jack Hawaii's topic in General Nursing

    Listen, nursing is a 24 hour a day job. At some point, people are gonna have to grow up and deal with the fact that some things are left undone after each shift. No shift is better than the other. And...

  23. New LPN, approached by a disgruntled employee

    RN1982 replied to moomoo111's topic in General Nursing

    There isn't anything you can do. She hates the facility big deal, a lot of people work at facilities that they hate. You are obviously getting an adequate orientation so just do your job and ignore...

  25. Nursing Tid Bits

    RN1982 replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    You know, before I worked at the hospital where we work, I never knew to make a bed roll. When I started working at the hospital where we work and I discovered the bedroll, I was sooooooooo amazed....
