Ok i havea question on this topic also. I have recently went to third shift from second. I look in on my patients every hour, do i need to chart every hour even though they are resting???? And as far as times go, when you have six patients and you are doing things for all of them, what do you do about the time you write down. You can't be exact, or are you? Say we get there and get report at 7 then i check my labs, then do my assessments, do start my charting at 7...assessment complete etc....? No one has ever explained this to me and i hope i'm not screwing up all my charting lol.

Our first shift charge nurse does't have any patients, maybe one at times. Second and third shift charge nurse takes full patient load, and we get paid a whole 25 cents an hour woohooo we are going to get rich off that pay lol.

Glad i saw this posting because i have a question too lol On admission we have a question that states, "if anyone calls about you are we allowed to give them information and tell them you are here" so if they say yes, that means whoever calls right???? Or should i still say "they are stable yada yada yada" and still not give the info to cover my butt. Which of course is what i do unless it's the POA. But i have family members and co-workers get mad at me for not telling family stuff.

!Chris PS: On a side note, perhaps its just me but reading your post was somewhat difficult due to the lack of punctuation and grammar mistakes. I'm not trying to be a stickler but if you don't mind skimming your thread before you post it, that way it will be easier for us to read. I'm not posting to english teachers....... Besides i'm running on about 5 hours sleep in two days. I'm a 7p-7a nurse, don't get much sleep with 4 boys running around. So "run-on" sentences is what i'm best at without sleep, sorry

LOL you guys are quick, i just posted this lmao. TOO FUNNY. I've been really thinking about it, but when you go to someone about someone else they don't do anything about it, and to top it off they tell the person your complaining about that you said it, then you have to deal with that. Like write ups everyone is afraid to write it up because our boss brings the write ups to the person that is wrote up and lets them see it, and your name is on the dang thing. IT's wrong. anyway i will go say something about her because it's driving me nuts.

Ok i have a few things going on with the same aide. 1. She makes sexual comments to everyone. And don't get me wrong i can joke around with everyone, but i was bending over to get meds out and she walked behind me and grabbed my butt. WEll i looked at her and said don't touch me like that again. And i blew it off. Well then i'm in the bathroom, the lock sticks so i don't lock it, but if the door is closed we know someone is in there. She knocks on the door, i say wait a minute and about two seconds later she tries to open the door. So as i'm sitting on the toilet i kick the door closed. she laughs and says i was just playing i wasn't going to open it. So again i blew it off. well another aide comes up to me the other day and says she's giving me the creeps, i said what's up she said she's smacked my butt a few times, and has walked in on my while i was in the bathroom. and she she looks at her through the crack in the door. then another RN comes up to me and said you are not going to beleive what so and so did, i said what she said we were standing at the nurses station getting report and out of no where she looks at her and says will you quit touching my butt. The rn said she wanted to die, she had no idea wher that comment came from. so i said enough is enough you guys are going to have to write this crap up, she's bordering on sexual harrassment. well the aide said she now follows her everywhere, and even switched classes in college to be in the same classes. 2. and the second problem would be her body odor. OMG she smells like armpit so bad. She leaves her scent where ever she goes. and it's bad, so bad i walked into the dictation room to get a book and almost puked, i had to get the air freshner out it smelled so bad. so what do i do.
