  1. When you were in school....

    cherrybreeze replied to 3babygirls's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the job! That's fantastic news. Don't worry about your lack of experience...you have to start somewhere, right? No matter what you do in life, you start off as a *newbie*. Be willing to...

  2. Why does Sonography pay more than nursing?

    cherrybreeze replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    :icon_roll

  3. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    What you are calling "mean attitudes" are the opinions of those who spoke them. Not everyone thinks it's ok, that doesn't make them (I should say "us," since I'm sure I'm included in that!)...

  4. Interesting blog Describes view from family's eyes

    cherrybreeze replied to Whiskeytown's topic in General Nursing

    i had read through this blog when this thread was originally started, so i had to go back and see what was new. did anyone else notice this comment?: when we last left you, we were faced with four...

  5. Why does Sonography pay more than nursing?

    cherrybreeze replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Um, wow. How is this a "problem" with the nursing profession??? Whether you are content with an ADN or choose to further your degree is a PERSONAL choice, and it doesn't do anything to harm the...

  6. Question on lab. Test

    cherrybreeze replied to rinks2010's topic in General Nursing

    And you know this....how, dude? A lot of people come here and literally post their homework questions. It's pretty common, actually. I agree with not spoon-feeding these answers back to them. The...

  7. Providing AM Care

    cherrybreeze replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    While it may be possible to provide these cares alone, it's not worth trying to do so, for several reasons. It's going to take longer, but more importantly, you risk injuring yourself or the patient....

  8. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    Did you read the whole thread? I know that the night in question, the night that the phone didn't work, they were calling her in. She said she didn't want them to have her home number, etc, since...

  9. Should I retake Chemistry?

    cherrybreeze replied to Atl_Queen's topic in General Nursing

    But, you DID retake it and get a C. They're going to know that anyway, aren't they? Aren't they also going to be able to see that you took it a third time? I think taking the class for a third time...

  10. No confidence...Please help!!!!

    cherrybreeze replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

    as far as this statement......do they say this to you, or do you assume that's what they're thinking? if they're flat out saying it, tell them where to go. stand up for yourself, as their...

  11. No confidence...Please help!!!!

    cherrybreeze replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the other posters, you went to nursing school, not medical school!! If you don't have the correct answers to the health/medical questions posed by friends/family members, that isn't a...

  12. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    cherrybreeze replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think suggesting types of deoderants would be much more insulting than just mentioning the problem. If it is in fact due to a health issue, etc, a deoderant isn't going to help. You can kindly say...

  13. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    Calling to ask a question, to me, does not equate to "being on call 24/7." If you're not "on call" with the expectation that you go into work when called, you have the choice not to answer your...

  14. No ejaculation after Foley?

    cherrybreeze replied to floridaygirl's topic in General Nursing

    As mentioned, the TOS (terms of service) state that we cannot give medical advice here. Please pose these question's to your husband's

  15. I have a hunch about a patient and I cannot prove it!

    cherrybreeze replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say this, too...while you can't do anything in the capacity of your job, why didn't you call the cops when you had crap backing up in your drain?? You would have obviously acting as a...

  16. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    That's the thing...the OP knew she was on call, and knew "the rules of the game," as it were, so no, calling in at 6p doesn't suffice for the rest of the noc. Babylady, I would put your efforts into...

  17. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    I am not understanding your posts. The OP called at the beginning of her 12 hour shift to see if she needed to be there at the shift start time. When you're on call for a shift, you are on call for...

  18. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    cherrybreeze replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think this was a joke, if not for the comments about suing on another thread. Don't sign it, if you want to be anonymous, but they're not exactly going to fingerprint a letter regarding body...

  19. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    You can't be serious. Since no cell phone company guarantees that their phones won't have glitches or problems, what on earth could you sue them for? Devices sometimes don't work. That's LIFE. You...

  20. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    OK, so this has happened more than those two times.......that's WORSE! I can understand why you're being defensive, but if all you came here to get was everyone telling you that you didn't do...

  21. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    Again, when you're not on call, turn the ringer off on your home phone when sleeping during the day. Problem

  22. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    cherrybreeze replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that in nursing, part of our job is being on call "24 hours a day." However, it is our job to be on call when we are placed on call. I am surprised by all the responses that say it's...

  23. Patient beds in hallways

    cherrybreeze replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

    They want to implement a system to get admissions up even faster. Plan is to send a written report, and then 15 minutes later, send the patient. We have fought this for a few reasons, one being that...

  24. Do you look up your patient history before taking care of them

    cherrybreeze replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Of course the nurses are responsible for the consents, checklists, etc. The point, I believe, was that there IS a checklist...yes, you're filling it out, but in the course of it, you're finding out...

  25. Patient beds in hallways

    cherrybreeze replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what you are saying but I also think you're twisting the words of the replies. No one said it's "ok" to hold these patients in the ER halls, they said it was "more OK"......not at all the same...
