I work on a surgical unit and use the attached report sheet. A co-worker set it up and now, more than half of the staff use it. We double side copy so this covers up to eight patients. The space for meds is on night shift time Report Sheet Nights.doc

:yeahthat: Especially when I hear, just about every shift, what newest "money-saving" plans have emerged from administration. Fiscal integrity is good............... We still all have jobs I also enjoy working with our staff and most have great sens...

I was 43 when I decided to pursue a nursing degree- married c/seven children at home. I was not the oldest in my classes by a long shot. Be excited about the class work and enjoy the fact that you've made a choice as early as you have :)

Our unit does not have a "set" form for report. We do use SBAR for transfer pts The form most of us use is attached. One of our RN's created this form and continues to change it as needed. She is our "form" goddess :) The space on the right below 'so...

Croc addict here but I do have a pair of Quarks that I alternate with. I have tried regular New Balance but I can't stand the completely closed in foot.

Have you searched Allnurses for "cover letters"? I have found a good deal of helpful information that way. Also, try typing : RN cover letter samples into Google or your search engine of choice. There are a lot of samples out there to get a good ide...

We self-schedule on the unit I work on, surgical. Day RN's work every other weekend, all holidays are rotated for all shifts . Night RN's have to work a combination of 3 Fri/Sat shifts. As long as the shifts are covered our managers leave the sched...

My first patient death occured while I was on orientation. The pt had been admitted in a coma and never regained consciousness. The family was with her around the clock and knew the end was imminent. When the patient passed, she was surrounded by lov...

Our hospital does not use the digital either, only manual and Dynamap machines. I prefer manual.

Our unit had two student nurse externs for the past two months. Their last night was Wednesday and they planned to cook for us as both RN's that precepted them worked that night. My extern also wrote me a very nice card; thoughtful and appreciated :)

Ditto...........Upstate NY here

I forgot to note on one patient for a shift, did flowsheets but forgot to note. My nurse manager just had me note on my next shift and date/time the note

Our hospital gives bonuses based on "consistently meeting expected requirements for job" In other words, if your yearly evals are above 3.00, you receive a bonus. This year, for RNs, 3.00 =$800, higher evals =higher bonus Bonuses are across the board...

I have been going through this thread, investigating options for ADN-BSN. I have to look at affordability as well as accredidation (sp). If I am reading this correctly, UOP, the total for BSN through Phoenix is 46,200.00? 120 credits X 385.00 per cre...

First of all, congrats on your position, I hope all is going well I have always been a night person so working 7P-7A has been a great shift for me. My best friend, on days I have to sleep all day, are a good pair of earplugs. We have 5 teens still l...

I always stay to chart but if there are things that just didn't get done in my 12 hours, I pass it on in report. Obviously, if it is a vital order, I make sure it's done. As others have said, nursing is 24 hours, ongoing. One person isn't responsible...

I am 45, graduated this May, and had 5 interviews resulting in 5 job offers. I held out for the hospital closest (my first choice from the beginning). I know any of the classmates I graduated with have had no trouble with finding jobs, many over the ...

I bought the Constellation with my PDA but I still prefer Epocrates to the Davis drug guide. I have both on my PDA and if I can't find a med on one, it's on the other.

Definitely worth it, IMO. I bought myself a Tungsten5 as a graduation present in May and I love it! I started work in June and most of the nurses think it's great too. I find it much quicker when I need to know what a particular med is. I have two ...

:balloons: :balloons: congratulations!!!! :balloons: :balloons:

After doing a search here related to shoes I just bought a pair of Quarks (wanted Crocs but couldn't find any near me). I'll have to let you know

Congratulations!!!

congratulations!! :balloons:

i registered on 5/13 and received my att yesterday (5/31) i scheduled my test for 6/23

Epocrates has the option to pay a yearly fee or use the free version. The free version has less options but still all the meds.
