  1. What are you best work tips?

    cherrybreeze replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have read some very good tips on this thread so far! Smart bunch of nurses here. :) What I learned over the years was CHART AS YOU GO, as much as you can. The days that sucked the most were when...

  2. Seriously, resumés aren't that difficult...

    cherrybreeze replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I actually think it COULD be a problem, because just because most of the people that post here are nurses, doesn't mean that we/they know anything about it. Being a nurse does not equate to knowing...

  3. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    cherrybreeze replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    IMO, an apology is too little, too late from this orifice. I also think it almost makes things WORSE, because if he had been "joking," he would have said so. Instead, in his apology, he says he was...

  4. Insight on a question I do not agree with

    cherrybreeze replied to TexHaws's topic in General Nursing

    You are assuming that the information in C is incorrect. It's not a matter of "who cares if it is"....the question is about communicating with the patient, it's not a physiology question. It...

  5. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    cherrybreeze replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You mean I finally get to wear it! YAY! I'm so

  6. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    cherrybreeze replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I not only believe not, I hope not. (I see demerits in my future, but I have a hard time with trolls (am I allowed to use that

  7. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    cherrybreeze replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And hey, I am single, so where do I sign up to ride that

  8. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    cherrybreeze replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ....exactly. I am finding it harder and harder to believe you are actually a professional, given the way you speak. My 13 year old nephew has better language (and typing) skills, that's why I asked....

    cherrybreeze replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How does hairdressing compare with nursing? When you're a hairdresser, of course you have to look a certain way, looks are your job. In nursing, looks are NOT your job. Apples to oranges here,...

  10. Insight on a question I do not agree with

    cherrybreeze replied to TexHaws's topic in General Nursing

    Giving a person an enema to relieve constipation has nothing to do with ingesting water by mouth. Totally different mechanism of action. Not sure how that

  11. Insight on a question I do not agree with

    cherrybreeze replied to TexHaws's topic in General Nursing

    OP, your logic doesn't work though, if what you are saying is that "D would be correct if it were worded differently." It's NOT worded differently, therefore it is not the answer. I don't see how...

  12. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    cherrybreeze replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry, but none of your posts on this thread highlight your intelligence, and that's just being honest. This view means I lack a "sense of humor?" "ppl do care what ya look like" (see above...

  13. BP: how high is too high (at 2am)? i.e., when will Pt stroke out?

    cherrybreeze replied to allthesmallthings's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be the odd duck and risk the flames by saying I honestly don't know whether I would have called the MD. If the patient has had a BP in that range, and even higher than that, previous to this...

  14. That is not how you address one on the telephone.. *vent*

    cherrybreeze replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, sure, they can ask. The answer to that question ("if a pt is admitted") is "yes." Asking "if" is not the same as asking "why" or

  15. Mother Hen

    cherrybreeze replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    agree 100%. our quarterly awards were given based on nominations by peers, and then having our unit-based council vote. some of the recipients didn't exactly live out all of the "qualifications" to...

  16. Mother Hen

    cherrybreeze replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    huh? i am not sure how this answers the question. the answer might lie somewhere in the middle, i can see and appreciate that point, but how does starting a rotation of bringing in treats have...

  17. Family members make me nervous

    cherrybreeze replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    To me, it depends on the question the family asks....I can think of two ways that I usually answer if I don't know it off the top of my head: 1) If it's something from their chart, I will say, "Let me...

  18. Thinking of quitting nursing program...

    cherrybreeze replied to laynem's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say that yes.......you need to quit. I believe a large part of your poor grades directly relates to your lack of desire. If you aren't doing well in your classes at this point, it's only...

  19. only a few months to decide...

    cherrybreeze replied to kellyjo's topic in General Nursing

    As far as this WHOLE thread goes, WHY the ripping on ADN so much lately?? Mustlovepoodles, you have 34 years of experience, so you went to school quite some time ago, yes? You are saying you were...

  20. Mother Hen

    cherrybreeze replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I completely agree with the points made. At the end of a shift, I'll say something like, "we had a good night, thank you" or something like that, but that's about it. If someone during my shift goes...

  21. That is not how you address one on the telephone.. *vent*

    cherrybreeze replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Requiring an admitting diagnosis is one thing, but I still am wondering why the TIME they were admitted matters. That could vary greatly based solely on how busy the EC was that day, or if a bed...

  22. My husband was violated today and I need advice!! (hipaa violated that is)

    cherrybreeze replied to FLAtoNYC's topic in General Nursing

    you are missing my point entirely. i didn't say they weren't the right ones to contact. one more time....and i don't know why i'm doing it, i'll probably get in trouble: you contact the office of...

    cherrybreeze replied to FLAtoNYC's topic in General Nursing

    You raise a good point. I shall assign it its own phone

  24. Blood transfusion

    cherrybreeze replied to blessed02's topic in General Nursing

    ?? I am not sure what this has to do with the OP. Also, where I work, all blood is put on a pump. We are not allowed to hang blood by

  25. That is not how you address one on the telephone.. *vent*

    cherrybreeze replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If that's your "facility's policy," I think it's messed up, and here's why: The documentation that SHOULD be required by your facility is WHY you sent the patient out (ie, sats in the 70's, etc), and...
