    Hospital nursing question

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Nurzelady's topic in Nursing Career

    To get to areas perceived as "low stress," one generally has to work in areas of high stress for a number of years first.

    NS at 125 ml/hr is not an ER order

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    Why not? I have a multitude of DOCTORS who complain that their patients going bad in the middle of the night doesn't fit THEIR convenience.

    This just gripes the crud out of me...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    It was a very very broad statement saying that "where there's a lawyer there's a lie." As a lawyer I don't appreciate it. If "a lot of lawyers appear to be unethical" is what they meant then they...

    Miss Thing visitor

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm already jaded by pts' non-relative visitors who want to pull rank on you and p!ss and moan about how crappy a facility is. They aren't going to file a complaint on behalf of their friend. They...

    What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    I bet your shoulder would be even better if you only spent time on the computer for school and work. Sorry, I couldn't

    When to move?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to ertrek84's topic in General Nursing

    I changed jobs after 4 and a half months because my husband got his dream job and we had to relocate. If there's a reason to move, I don't see a need to

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    did you ever go to the doctor and say "i have trouble breathing and my lawyer says i need you to document it so i can get my disability?" then she's not talking about you, nor is anyone

    Gawwwwwd it'd be hard for me to not ask her where she worked, and then tell her that she has no frame of reference from which to decide how much work is "going on out

    yes, another night shift post.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to mmccool719's topic in General Nursing

    I have tried as hard as I can to get as much done as possible and not leave things for the day nurses that could be done at night. That way when the day nurses are talking about who's a good nurse...

    How do I get around to LIKING changing an ostomy bag?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what you are on about. Ostomy output smells, it really doesn't matter what someone calls it on a message board. You feel free to go ahead and be outraged, and I'll go ahead and continue...

    my clinical instructor is disappointing me.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    Most instructors leave their students on the floor for two hours by themselves and fall asleep in post conference?

    law and nursing

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to jaywife's topic in General Students

    If it was done on purpose I suppose someone could say it was criminal negligence, reckless and wanton endangerment, or if it caused harm it could be considered a battery. Depends on the state and what...

    Nursing scrubs are darn expensive

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Katie5's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My work clothes used to cost $100-$300 an outfit and you couldn't easily pull off wearing them twice in one week like I can with my scrubs. I buy from cherokee4less.com and pay $15 or less a piece,...

    Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    I think it's pretty universal that depending on what semester you are in, you get more freedom to work on your own. First semester I don't think anyone gave even PO meds without an instructor with...

    Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    Um, what relevance does your policy have to any other facility's policy? We don't have to follow it. You did. We followed our own. They are what they are. It's not really a debate. No one debated...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You've either not been here long enough, or you got this post confused with "Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell coworkers and get away with it." If it's the former, come back when you get the hang...

    I'll pass on requesting clarification from you. If they're just a body in the room watching you then they're unnecessary and we have the same nursing program in the end. That's the point. And to call...

    No, you can't go home early and "drink a lot of water" instead of staying here another night and receiving IV fluids like the doctor ordered. Really, you can't. I promise, it's not the same

    Then what's the difference, if she's not going to stop someone from being killed by the all-powerful Lortab 5? They never showed you how to do any of it or assisted you in any way? Even when you hung...
