    How many still paper chart everything

    StNeotser replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    We use a mix of paper & computer. When they invent a new form it's on paper it seems. It's a really pain

    why are nurses stations so chaotic?

    StNeotser replied to AlwaysTired's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'd say that most of us that work in healthcare have to be people persons. So we're a noisy bunch. Drives me nuts when I'm on the phone though, and I do tell the caller to hold on for a...

    StNeotser replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    I've done this too. I've done three or four signatures in a row. Does this make me a bad person? No, because I've been doing other things that have held higher priority. I really think that this...

    Nurses' Week 2008

    StNeotser replied to justavolunteer's topic in General Nursing

    We are invited to a nurses tea on a day I don't work so most likely I won't go. But I appreciate the effort. Normally we also get some sort of potted plant. Sometimes I feel like nurses week is a...

    What do you wish for in a break room?

    StNeotser replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    Our "breakroom" was an afterthought. It's actually part of a corridor. It's so difficult to get to that family members and patients would never figure out how to get to it. It also has a door to...

    Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    StNeotser replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had this happen just recently. Post CVA patient. Wife used to be a speech therapist and wanted to sit and criticize my feeding skills the whole time. I only put up with it for three minutes...

    "New Nurses's Don't Know Anything."

    It's Eval Time!! Why we're unable to score all "excellent" ratings

    StNeotser replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I did an eval for an absolutely wonderful tech and was told to change it because "nobody was perfect". I had not written in enough weaknesses, therefore there were no realistic goals on how to...

    StNeotser replied to Erianne1074's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How many patients do you have on this hourly rounding? Are night shift supposed to do it too? I know on my night shift it's enough trouble if people are on q4hr vitals, and even then some of the...

    StNeotser replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Oh yes, I used to have that one too when I worked for Cambs Social Services. :icon_roll Anyway, I'd love to read in one of the national papers about how nursing jobs are being cut and that...

    Nurse bashing by UK public AGAIN

    StNeotser replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Sorry, it was meant to be a sarcastic remark aimed at some of the readers comments. I was really tired when I posted it and it obviously hasn't come out right. It seems that since nurses have been...

    Nurse bashing by UK public AGAIN

    Demented Residents & Funny Comments

    StNeotser replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We decided to sit a LOL at the nurses station while we were charting because she was sundowning and we were scared she would get up out of bed one night. After a while she said "Well, you gals don't...

    Are They As Brutal As People Say

    StNeotser replied to kbswife's topic in General Nursing

    I was scared of some of the staff as they all seemed to want to assign the nursing students to some confused old lady who didn't have much going on other than they wanted to get out of bed every two...

    LTC Smell?

    StNeotser replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One I used to work in was a building from the 50's. I don't think if the building stood for 100 years without any people in, they'd be able to get rid of the smell of urine. It was probably ingrained...

    You don't LOOK like a nurse

    StNeotser replied to NHCNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, don't worry about it. I'm too short to be a nurse. And, according to all the 200lb patients that are kept waiting because they are two person transfers, too skinny. I wonder what nurses are...

    racist comment

    StNeotser replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Once I had a patient with pain issues, kept on the light about two or three minutes after pain medication was administered to tell me that it hadn't worked. I called a CNA in there who was from...

    Oh well. If it's any consolation, when I worked in an engineering office every woman there allegedly got their job ahead of other candidates because they were women. Sorry you're going through this,...
