    Total crap, you have a right to be angry. I agree w/ suggestions from previous posters. Don't let it go...talk to whomever you must to get your side of the story

  3. clinic nurses-late patients?? What to do?

    jadednurse replied to luvbug's topic in General Nursing

    At the clinic I managed there were 4 physicians, each w/ her own approach to dealing w/ late-arriving patients (which of course made my job miserable!). It took awhile for new nurses there to get to...

  4. Pain scale

    jadednurse replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Pain Management

    One of the things that really bothers me about pain scale documentation is the fact that some nurses get so caught up in having to document a number that they actually make it up. I've admitted...

  5. Nursing as a customer service profession?

    jadednurse replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in General Nursing

    I think alot of the problems associated w/ the whole "customer service" issue arise from the general public's perception of nursing and the healthcare industry in general. In general, the average...

  6. How have you dealt with language barriers?

    jadednurse replied to mattsmom81's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think you're missing the point. My understanding of mattsmom81's posts is that it's difficult to cover the nursing issues/curriculum when all of the students are not at the same level w/ their...

  8. eICU...is it for you?

    jadednurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    My most recent employer is now in the process of implementing an electronic ICU. While I haven't worked there for a number of months (don't get me started on the reasons why) I'm curious to know if...

    Good one

  10. filter needles

    jadednurse replied to rebeccajs's topic in Travel

    I have lived and worked in Chicago my whole life and am surprised to see how it varies even in my own small niche of the world. I always do this too (use filtered needles), but had a similar response...

  11. 2 Nurses needed???

    jadednurse replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I guess my question to those of you who have to double check so many meds is do you guys document this somewhere? I think alot of places started requiring doublechecks on certain "high-risk"...

  12. eICU...is it for you?

    jadednurse replied to jadednurse's topic in General Nursing

    The bedside nurse still provides all the hands-on care, she just has yet another doctor to deal with! The concept is geared toward getting more immediate attention for a patient who is going down the...

  13. 2 Nurses needed???

    jadednurse replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Gosh, doesn't this get really frustrating for all nurses...RNs and LPNs alike! After nearly 8 years as an RN I am s-l-o-w-l-y learningto not get so frustrated at the gazillion different ways of doing...

  14. Drawing Blood From PICC Lines

    jadednurse replied to rileygrl11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Is it like this with other procedures on your unit...I mean doesn't anyone follow a protocol, or do they all just "do their own thing?" If the protocol for any procedure isn't clear, is their a unit...

  16. Charge Nurse in ICU

    jadednurse replied to pjdRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I once worked on a unit that had a mandatory rotating charge position. While at that point in my career I enjoyed the challenge of being in charge (hey, I was young, fresh and naive) I think the...

  19. eICU...is it for you?

    jadednurse replied to jadednurse's topic in General Nursing

    The eICU is very different from computerized charting. I'm sure I'll do a horrible job explaining it, but...we've basically been calling it the "eye in the sky." I think Advocate Healthcare is the...
