    Pts paying for night nursery care??

    chevyv replied to mombabyRN96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my son room in with me and the nurse would come in just after I changed and fed him and turned out the lights only to turn on the lights and tell me to feed him. I could have smacked her upside...

    Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    chevyv replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I still think they're nasty. If anyone is on the clock, getting paid to have sex is probably not in the job description! EWWWWWW!!!! Oh BTW, I've never seen one open marriage actually last even if...

    chevyv replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    ooo that's what I'm telling them next time.....I have the hershey squirts and cannot make the drive in 3hrs let alone the usual 45 minutes. They will probably tell me they will provide briefs for me...

    Need a little feedback re: transferring a psych patient

    chevyv replied to travkitty's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what you mean by almost uncontrollable, but we see a lot of the Zyprexa, Ativan, and Benedryl given with violence. Next time, perhaps 5mg of Zyprexa would be better. Perhaps she had...

    Hospice and Full Code

    chevyv replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    I didnt' know you could be on hospice and still a full code. Hmmmm, I thought hospice didn't cover many of the usual tx to prolong life but I know doing CPR and intubating someone is not hospice....

    Does your supervisor call & text you at all hours?

    chevyv replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in General Nursing

    I even get text messages from my old job asking for help and the carrot..."we're willing to pay $10 over your base". I know it's going to be bad there and am grateful I

    LAZY CNA's!!

    chevyv replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hmmm, so if the nurse gets nowhere with the CNA, it must be the lazy nurse? We all know that cleaning a pt isn't outside our scope of practice, but I see your a student so when you're running around...

    chevyv replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear you loud and clear! If I hear one more complaint about the CNA assignment, I will run screaming and tearing my hair out (which may not be good as I work in psych, lol). Actually asked a CNA...

    chevyv replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Mo mother gave me a card which I took to work yesterday and kept out for all of us. It was the only mention other than a memo announcing a cookie and juice for nurses with a time and no date. Turns...

    Man with Law Degree Considering Nursing

    chevyv replied to JSBes's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wouldn't wait until the 7month old is in school at all. Many of us went to school while raising a family and you have your wife to help out! Time marches on no matter what so why wait? 3-4 yrs is...

    chevyv replied to thesundowner's topic in Psychiatric

    Keep a drug book nearby to look up common psych meds, understand when most pts tell you they're going to hurt you, they mean it! Learn to be therapeutic if it's not natural. I've seen too many pts...

    Ethical Dilemma

    chevyv replied to mglick's topic in General Nursing

    All of the fluff in this can be taken out and you'll still have the same question/answer. The patient was alert and refused so yes, you honor the pts autonomy. Unless of course you risk your...

    chevyv replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    There was a pinning ceremony for us, but we had to buy our pins, find an instructor willing to pin us, and did all of the leg work to have a place and a nice evening. I didn't bother with pinning or...

    chevyv replied to JSBes's topic in Men in Nursing

    Go for it and then come to county/state psych! We need men where I work. We have so many pts that just don't respect women and it would be wonderful to have a male on the unit. We beg and beg but...
