  1. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    Sonjailana replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    No the texts weren't especially creepy or anything...but why didn't he ID himself right away in the texts or by phone? He wouldn't give his name. Like, he could call and just say, Dr. T for Sonjailana...

  2. Three things...

    Sonjailana replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Not to do 1. Get interrupted every 30 seconds. 2. Talk to abusive/stupid family members (there are a lot that want to feed end stage pts with dysphagia and try to sneak forcing food in their...

  3. Piggyback Problems!

    Sonjailana replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man I've had these problems too. Once I REALLY actually had defective tubing where the PG didn't go in..I even had my charge nurse check it out because it was so weird. More often it's the clamp...

  4. What me laugh today:

    Sonjailana posted a topic in General Nursing

    So today, being my first shift on days (after a year of nights) was a little scary, to be honest, but I hung in there. It was ok. So I'm bringing in my last round of 1700 meds, late, at 1806,...

  5. The all important question! Do MD's remember your uniform color schemes!

    Sonjailana replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    Once, when an anesthesiologist was talking to me on the phone, (he was mad because I was calling him..duh) he said to me, were you the one wearing green and white? My jaw dropped...all RN's have to...

  6. So Frustrated (venting)

    Sonjailana replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    So, I did get paid for the time there, just not the rest of the shift after...so my paycheck will once again be short. It's just frustrating because I want to work....and patient's sometimes are so...

  7. So Frustrated (venting)

    Sonjailana posted a topic in General Nursing

    So work has been really, really rough lately. There's an older staff nurse that seems to have beef with me, though luckily she wasn't on tonight. We are really short on money, and therefore are having...

  8. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Sonjailana replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I always want to say, "I AM NOT your tv repairman.If this upsets you so much you are ready to go home" It makes me so mad when I'm busy on important things and this is the biggest

  9. So Frustrated (venting)

    Sonjailana replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    4 hours, 7-11. Most of this happened b/w 7-930

  10. Stupid mistakes!!!!

    Sonjailana replied to kit3375's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't feel bad! My mistake as of late is throwing away a vicodin in the med room..pretty embarrassing to explain that one to my charge

  11. Do you sign "RN' after your name OUTSIDE of the hospital?

    Sonjailana replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit when I first got my license (like first week) I did it. I was SOO proud of myself for passing boards. Now, nope, no

  12. Deal or No Deal - Naughty Nurse

    Sonjailana replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    It just gives ammo to the old inappropriate men. I saw that and was like, Seriously? Shame on NBC. I get enough comments as

  13. Evening shift and BAD eating habits!

    Sonjailana replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    Try to eat a big bowl of cereal when you get home or low fat popcorn. These foods give me the sensation I'm chowing but the high-volume low calorie situation is better. I think it is the easiest...

  14. Oh No! A port infection!

    Sonjailana posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I changed a port dressing last week, and kept sterile technique (or so I thought). Come to find out, this patient has a raging infection in his port as of 24 hours later. Is it likely the...

  15. Oh No! A port infection!

    Sonjailana replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    So good news...it was enterococcus!!! And, it's been determined that it was not from the port and much more likely from all the damage to the GI system from mets (fistulas, etc). Thanks for the advice...

  16. Oh No! A port infection!

    Sonjailana replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it is a pt that did have chemo earlier in the week and was getting TPN through the port. This pt was not neutropenic though. I changed the needle and dressing Wed am, the high fever started...
