  1. Did I make a med error?

    Nurseinprocess replied to Emilythenewgrad's topic in General Nursing

    Does not look like a med error to me, but I have never worked in an assisted living facility so I don't know how doctor's orders end up being acknowledged. If there is actually a computer system for...

  2. Lack of Sleep

    Nurseinprocess replied to Melissaxoanne1's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely must be on day shift for orientation I would think (I had no idea any hospital would hire a graduate nurse in the ICU). It sounds like your brain won't shut off. Not sure how to fix that!...

  3. Iv compatibility

    Nurseinprocess replied to Sandradelanian's topic in General Nursing

    I am thinking this must be a student asking this

  4. OMG JACHO IS HERE!

    Nurseinprocess replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I work nights, do not want to run into

  5. ADN, BSN, ABSN, or MEPN?

    Nurseinprocess replied to Pomfrey1227's topic in School, College Programs

    If you are not a fan of drowning in debt I would go the ADN then bridge to BSN route. You will save a lot of money. I disagree that most employers will pay for it, though. Some will give partial...

  6. Will my license be at risk?

    Nurseinprocess replied to Elmstreet209's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think your license is in danger for not calling the contact, but you really should have done so. Did you consult with anyone before you sent this person off to the

  7. Nursing school Loans?

    Nurseinprocess replied to princesspunch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh wow that is a whole lot of debt to take on. I would reconsider your plans, maybe. Can you do an ADN program (usually costs less than $10,000) and then bridge to a BSN program which you can also...

  8. I need to quit this job

    Nurseinprocess replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Are you able to pick your assignments or do you have to just take what is handed over? I would not want to be in a messy situation like that. You are already put in the middle of issues with the...

  9. Nursing

    Nurseinprocess replied to Nolita14's topic in School, College Programs

    If you are trying to get into a competitive nursing program your GPA is going to be important. I don't think anyone will care how well you do in a nurse assistant program, it is definitely not as...

  10. Late pass because of job!!

    Nurseinprocess replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    If I am late starting a med pass I definitely would not be taking my time, I would be hustling. Hopefully when you said you were still passing meds at 11 you meant that you were passing 10 am meds at...

  11. Applying without experience

    Nurseinprocess replied to shephfra000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My hospital will hire new grads into L&D and NICU but not post partum. We have had quite a few great nursing students working on our unit as nurse assistants and when they graduate we'd love to...

  12. Can a healthy newborn go 24 hours without a feeding?

    Nurseinprocess replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I work we let the breastfeeding babies mess around and not seriously nurse for about 24 hrs before we would intervene and insist on formula supplementation (moms always get the option to pump...

  13. Caring for morbidly obese bariatric Pt

    Nurseinprocess replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

    I worked on a bariatric surgery floor for a couple of years. I have never seen that particular patient population have any anger issues that differ from any other? Most are just as pleasant as any...

  14. Can a nurse survive on several per diem jobs?

    Nurseinprocess replied to ihatethisjob's topic in General Nursing

    I am about to start a second contingent job. My husband makes enough to cover our household, and he covers our insurance. I am not sure if I will keep both jobs, it seems like it could get a little...

  15. SE MI employment for exp. ED RN

    Nurseinprocess replied to EDRNknl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There are always ER/ED jobs available when I look for open positions, at several hospitals. The pay range is probably $25-30 an

  16. Bullying

    Nurseinprocess replied to Sensibility's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was in a situation where a nurse I work with was just totally ignoring me. I would greet her and she would act like I wasn't there. I would ask her a medical question and she would ignore me. It...

  17. Got an interview - Help me finish up my preparation!

    Nurseinprocess replied to Vindex's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Things I have been asked: Tell me about a time that you went above and beyond for a patient. Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a coworker and how you handled it. Tell me about a time you...

  18. No, apparently you don't know it all!

    Nurseinprocess replied to himilayaneyes's topic in General Nursing

    My issue is not with other nurses knowing it all, but an uneducated, loudmouthed (and foul!) unit clerk who likes to judge new nurses and make fun of their errors . Would love to critique her...

  19. Nurses with families...how do you manage??

    Nurseinprocess replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    I work three 12s, night shift, and it still feels like I work 6 days a week . My family is getting the shaft, I am my best only at work right now. I haven't figured out how to balance my sleep/home...

  20. Changing from nights to days

    Nurseinprocess replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    I bet that once you start working days you will be nice and tired by the time you need to hit the hay. Days are more hectic (usually) and you may have no problem falling asleep at night. Sounds like...

  21. CBIs

    Nurseinprocess replied to divaRN*'s topic in General Nursing

    Ours are 3L and I've never had to run in the room that often to make sure they didn't run out or overfill the catheter bag. You couldn't be running them that fast

  22. Is a baby nurse..

    Nurseinprocess replied to JM RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, some people refer to baby nannies as baby

  23. Night Shifters!

    Nurseinprocess replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

    My weekends are Saturdy and Sunday night. I wish I got the nice differentials you are getting. My weeknight differential is about .40 more than the weekend one, and it's not as generous as yours

  24. setting alarm clock to take pain meds?

    Nurseinprocess replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nurse was probably annoyed, not astounded that a physician would order a pain med qhr. Especially since telemetry units are usually quite busy and the pt load is not

  25. Policy on WOWs

    Nurseinprocess replied to UnionRN2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you, why would anyone drag a wow or cow into an isolation room or one with a pt who has mrsa or any other easily spread infection? I would just scan something else with the pt's barcode....
