  1. Chores

    blondy2061h replied to Junebug14's topic in General Nursing

    Stocking the med room is a normal expectation for nurses. I even emptied garbages in patients' rooms on nightshift, or the aids did, but we didn't have 24/7 housekeeping. Emptying the garbage...

  2. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    blondy2061h replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    My patients never got to pick when they slept. We made them wake up and eat (if they weren't npo- and some of them were- for weeks if not months), walk, and work with PT and OT. They had to be sitting...

  3. What's wrong with me??

    blondy2061h replied to vxxen's topic in General Nursing

    16 is an insane number of patients. Some of the issues you're facing are odd to me. Getting a second doctor to sign off on one doctor's order? Pharmacy should be helping to look for duplicate...

  4. New 2-year contract required months after being hired on. Should I decline?

    blondy2061h replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Nursing

    Two years seems like a long time, but it goes ridiculously quickly when you're a new nurse. Your on orientation for several months, it's a year before you feel somewhat comfortable, and two years...

  5. Received a strange email from a hiring manager... Please Help

    blondy2061h replied to Ebussman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My boss frequently comes across rather harsh in emails and I will think she's upset about something, then i'll talk to her in person and realize she isn't. To the point, factual emails are just a...

  6. RFID Implantation and Implementation: A Look Into the Future

    blondy2061h replied to David Offenbaker's topic in General Nursing

    I was and am being serious when I say I want to understand more about how people were concerned about debit cards. It is interesting to see technology become more readily accepted as it's more

  8. RFID Implantation and Implementation: A Look Into the Future

    blondy2061h replied to David Offenbaker's topic in General Nursing

  10. Hospice patient and vitals

    blondy2061h replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of taking care of end up life patients on comfort care is doting on the family and understanding what their expectations are and what they want done. Usually when I had these patients on the...

  12. Did I do something wrong?

    blondy2061h replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    Larsony is punishable by up to two years in prison even of you didn't receive that sentence. You probably should seek legal

  14. Tough predicament, need guidance

    blondy2061h replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Two thirds of their students are passing. You do your part to make sure you're in that two thirds. If you do something like Kaplan NCLEX shouldn't be unreasonably hard to

  15. Hypothetically, How Would You Handle This?

    blondy2061h posted a topic in General Nursing

    Let's say you were directly involved with getting a provider fired from your facility. You know HR proceedings are confidential, but you also know this person isn't an idiot and knows the scenario...

  16. AEDs in the Wild?

    blondy2061h replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Can boaters three weeks off shore call the air force for transport to a hospital? A defibrillator could be useful in a very specific situation where the person was otherwise fairly healthy and...

  18. Type 1 Diabetic (soon to be) Nurse

    blondy2061h replied to EverConfused's topic in General Nursing

    I've had type 1 since I was a teenager. I've been a nurse for 10 years and use a pump and cgm and haven't had a problem. I've had a few lows at work that I felt pretty terrible for- but my co-workers...

  19. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    blondy2061h replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a woman who is nearly 6 feet tall and heavyset. When I'm heated I need to watch my posture and proximity to people to not appear physically

  20. Getting over mistakes as a new grad

    blondy2061h replied to maggiemckenna's topic in General Nursing

    That would be a tough shift did ANY nurse and you should commend yourself for a job well done recognizing your patients' needs and getting them to the higher level of care in a timely fashion. Bravo!...

  21. do you think students who got kicked out of NS, were for a good reason?

    blondy2061h replied to Skippy97's topic in General Students

    I can't remember who got kicked out of my program and why because it was a decade

  22. Watches

    blondy2061h replied to alwaysdreaming's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The sweeping second hand requirement is silly. If someone is always getting 60 for a heart rate you'll know quickly they're counting ticks not beats. Unless the patient has a pacemaker set at 60 :)...

  23. Watches

    blondy2061h replied to alwaysdreaming's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Why does the second hand have to be sweeping? Now you've got me looking at watches on Amazon and this is a question on all of them so clearly it matters and I'm

  24. Can Nurse Assistant Managers and Nurse Managers work 3 days?

    blondy2061h replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

  25. Discrimination for being a new mom?

    blondy2061h replied to Karn88's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager told you she needed an experienced nurse on nights. So it makes sense they would move BECAUSE they're newer. You can't just have all completely inexperienced nurses on nights. You may...
