  1. Sick of Florida

    DoeRN replied to thelema13's topic in Travel

    I've never met such a demanding population of patients before! I can't even say it is only the rich ones. It's all socioeconomic groups. I'm floored. I wanted to move to a warmer climate but man I...

  2. Sick of Florida

    DoeRN replied to thelema13's topic in Travel

    DoeRN replied to DoeRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    DoeRN replied to nifferlynn's topic in Oncology

  7. Have dress codes changed for clinical prep?

    DoeRN replied to DoeRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But they were still in the hospital setting and they were interviewing the patients. It is a hospital and not the night club. I guess since I'm older I have a different way of thinking in regards to...

    DoeRN replied to DoeRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  12. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoeRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard this phrase but it makes sense. I have met many nurses who have been taken advantage of because of the so called dollar signs. I went out on a date with a guy who kept asking me...

  13. Chemo patient to nurse ratios

    DoeRN replied to jbluehorseh's topic in Oncology

    I've worked BMT and it was 3:1 sometimes 4:1 if none of the patients were receiving chemo. I was a float nurse then but I was chemo certified so I was always floated to the oncology floors. If the...

  15. telemetry vs med surge

    DoeRN replied to ffliper27's topic in Cardiac

    It is the same essentially. I am a float nurse and have worked on both types. The telemetry floors may have drips that you wouldn't see on a regular floor. And some floors you may have less patients...

  16. The grey area of patient contact and professionalism

    DoeRN replied to newtonurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I never talk about my personal life with patients. I get the married and kid question almost daily and I redirect the conversation back on patient care. I see you have built a rapport with the patient...

  18. MD orders via computer

    DoeRN replied to gracedRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I never said that I didn't like computer charting. I like it. Everything is available all in one place. Instead of looking at the chart and the crt for lab results and other testing. No more...

  20. What are the nurse's rights regarding difficult family members?

    DoeRN replied to Brekka's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. MD orders via computer

    DoeRN replied to gracedRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Still not as fast as paper charting. I have used electronic charting for 11 going on 12 years with 5 different systems. Some were much more user friendly. And goodness don't there be a system crash....
