  1. One of the hospitals I worked at used a weighted system that factored in both hospital seniority and unit seniority. I don’t remember the specifics but for instance you got like 3 “points” for...

    Vocera! Can you talk to...?

    My last facility used Vocera which was my first experience with it and it was an adjustment and mildly annoying. Where I’m at now (and prior to the Vocera facility) we use Voalte phones. I do see...

    PACU recovering patients in the ICU?

    It’s been years since I worked PICU, but the PACU RN would come with the patient to the ICU but then we would immediately take over care of the

    My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    @Gillyboo very well said and explained, thank you! Edited to piggy back off of the last sentence “This is just who we are.” It’s not up to an individual to try to pick apart WHY...

    "Thank you for your service"

    For me like a previous poster had somewhat mentioned the issue/cringe-factor isn't thanking me, but specifically thanking me for "my service." I get paid well to do what I do and I absolutely wouldn't...

    Is it wise to work from home?

    No, this isn’t about what time it is that you’re accessing a chart. This is about WHY you’re accessing a chart, and one of the reasons you listed was “monitoring.” Your position does not...

    Is it wise to work from home?

    You should never need to do any “monitoring” in your specific role when you aren’t at work, period. There is no gray area here.

    Is it wise to work from home?

    It’s not about your hours/clocking in or not, like JBMmom said “Unless you are directly responsible for the care of a patient you should not be accessing their chart and information.”...

  10. “They” likely haven’t done that. This poster is known for taking on these responsibilities themselves that are beyond what is required because she feels she’s the only one who can competently...

    Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Ahhh that definitely explains things better as well. Now I'm curious on specifics as to how the epi pen thing came up with the state representative? Like did she specifically ask you "did you get...

    Is working too much bad for your health?

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, or where the origin of your unnecessary snark is coming from. I was simply saying you’ve already asked this question and got some really good...

    Is working too much bad for your health?

    You posted an almost identical thread in January and got some sound advice, I would recommend rereading through

    Is it wise to work from home?

    It doesn’t matter what we think because you seem to post for the attention and drama, not for actual sound advice, and will continue to do what your want and provide dramatic updates for us all....

    ICU time management

    I don’t think that would be helpful overall. But I do notice that managers who come into staffing more frequently, be that as needing to charge some days or resource some days, seem to “get it”...

    I keep making small mistakes. Feeling hopeless

    Yes to what everyone has said so far. You know from your med surg experience that you’ll probably never make the pit icon mistake again! No matter how much experience you had, any transition...

    ADN vs BSN salary

    All four facilities I’ve worked at in my 15 years have NEVER paid more for having my BSN vs ADN. But I agree with other posters that BSN in general opens more opportunities for other positions and...

    My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    I for one didn’t respond to your previous inquiries because of repeated comments like this which show a lack of maturity to even have a discussion on this subject. That is not meant as a dig, but if...

    My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    This can also be a toxic way of thinking and it always saddens me that it’s from within the LGBTQ community. I’m bisexual by the way, been that way since I was a kid and will always be that way...

    Medication Error in School

    How do they have OP with the 5 rights? OP was under the impression that it was the right medication, and the bottle with a pharmacy label confirmed that. Otherwise we all would need to go the extra...

    Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    What?! That’s because of, well, science. Masks, social distancing, better hand hygiene, less contact = less flu cases. This isn’t some voodoo magic conspiracy theory, it’s literally the science...

    Day shift or night shift

    I agree with the other poster, these both sound like good residency programs which is a rarity it seems these days. If you truly don't have a preference for unit, then I would decide based on shift...

    Hospice Patient’s Family Refusing Hospice Cares

    I remember this in great detail, I followed along for quite a while because I was morbidly fascinated by the whole scenario. So sad for that little
