  1. care plan for cystic fibrosis with episode of major hemoptysis

    SixFive replied to patsy peppermint's topic in General Nursing

    yep,

  2. nursing diagnosis-nanda advice?

    SixFive replied to oKeto's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    i'm not talking about the kardex; i'm talking about the careplan. you have a nice one

  3. Families can now call the code team

    SixFive replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    like you said, it's a JCAHO requirement, so it will be standard everywhere. Ours is called the Rapid Response team. There's a little laminated sheet posted by every patient bed that shows how to...

  4. I've had a revelation...

    SixFive replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    I view you as a nurse who cares about her patients. If your co-workers perceive you that way, however, then that perception needs to change. I'm as tall as my username, but I've rarely encountered...

  5. nursing diagnosis-nanda advice?

    SixFive replied to oKeto's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    so, you're saying that before you take care of each patient you peruse the care plan? just curious. every facility has personalized care plans in all pts files. that doesn't meant it isn't

  6. nursing diagnosis-nanda advice?

    SixFive replied to oKeto's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    posts like this make me so glad I don't have to deal with busy work careplans anymore. Filling out the premade ones with admissions is bad enough; I'd hate to think about trying to make them up now!...

  7. I've had a revelation...

    SixFive replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    your post absolutely screams cocky/never-wrong/unapproachable to me. Maybe you don't feel that way, and you probably aren't fully like this in reality, but I learned long, long ago that perception is...

  8. Anyone else on nights feel completely out of it?

    SixFive replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    it can work, yes, but you sure miss out on a lot of

  9. Anyone else on nights feel completely out of it?

    SixFive replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    excellent post! The biggest mistake people make is sleeping during the day when they don't have to work that night. After I've worked my 3 nights, I like to set my alarm, take a 2-3 hour nap then...

  10. protecting yourself against complaints

    SixFive replied to am4182's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm grateful for never being accused of anything like this in my 15 year career. It doesn't sound like to me that with these 2 nutbag accusers you could have done anything differently. The best...

  11. Please interpret this med order

    SixFive replied to Jennabugs's topic in Patient Medications

    I think it's a bad order, and in general all "range" orders seem to always lead to confusion as can be attested to by the responses in this thread. We don't accept range orders at my hospital, and if...

  12. Is the drug Halcion or its generic still available in the U.S.?

    SixFive replied to mondkmondk's topic in Patient Medications

    yes it is. I'm sure all parts of the country have ads for "Sedation Dentistry". That involves the patient taking Halcion 30 minutes before their dental work is to start. I haven't seen it prescribed...

  13. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    SixFive replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    there's probably nothing you can say to a jealous man to make it any better. To think that some men would worry about their wife touching a patient's privates in the work setting is so lame. I've...

  14. To All Nurses....

    SixFive replied to NurseWannabe1129's topic in General Nursing

    I'm loving it that you had empathy towards your patient! Congratulations; it sounds like you have gone into nursing for the right reason and will make a great nurse. I'm also excited that you felt...

  15. How does your unit do prn schedules?

    SixFive replied to Carolinamom's topic in General Nursing

    our prn nurses fill out an "Availability Calendar". Any days put on that calendar are pretty much on the schedule for them to work. We also call our prns regularly to help cover call-ins or general...

  16. How does your own PCP treat you?

    SixFive replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I love my PCP who happens to be a nurse practitioner. I worked with her at my hospital before she took the job she now has. She comes in the room, smiles, and says, "Hey, Clint! How have you been...

  17. Anyone an addictions nurse?

    SixFive replied to Mo_RN's topic in Addictions

    I work in inpatient (physical) rehabilitation, but I often feel like I'm a drug rehab/addictions nurse, lol! I think a lot of jobs in nursing spend a whole lot of time dealing with this problem that...

  18. Charge nurse course

    SixFive replied to gkenny's topic in General Nursing

    if you want a nuts and bolts idea of what your current charge nurses do, have them write it down and compile it into a Charge Nurse Resource Book or whatever you want to title it. I helped do that...

  19. I'm sooo disappointed.

    SixFive replied to alyx's topic in General Nursing

    lots of paperwork, and the biggest problem with it is that it becomes a rote

  20. Documentation of Hourly Rounding

    SixFive replied to capnnikkiRN's topic in General Nursing

    we have an hourly rounding sheet that is also not part of the permanent record. The nurses initial on even hours and the techs on odd hours. Everytime you go in a room, you also push your nurse...

  21. LTC nurses - I need a reality check

    SixFive replied to LakesideRN's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like pretty good staffing for a nursing home to me. It's hard to find good nurses in nursing homes in my area. Usually, the ones that work there can't get work other places or have been...

  22. Do you wear...

    SixFive replied to jenpan's topic in General Nursing

    We have clocks in all the rooms, so watches are a no-need. I haven't worn one in 15 years. When I go on medical mission trips, however, I have to get used to wearing them again since clocks aren't a...

  23. obsessions

    SixFive replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    the good news is that YOU weren't having to take her each of those 30 times, lol! She's probably a nutjob in some respect. Be thankful she didn't have a bed alarm that you were racing after every 5...

  24. Overtime I didn't sign up for

    SixFive replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    oh, my bad!! I thought you wanted to work! Seriously, I learned long ago not to feel guilty about going in for extra shifts and overtime. If you want to, great! If not, so be

  25. Med error need guidence

    SixFive replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    agree with the others that this wasn't a med error. You're actually more prudent in realizing later that this might possibly not be what the clinician intended. Too many nurses out there don't...
