  2. stupid documentation!

    Katie5 replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

    You gave a very encouraging and non-judgmental correction, but no where do I see where you wrote out a correct version for the word, "grammer"

  4. stupid documentation!

    Katie5 replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ. Most times, it is the older nurses who can't spell or make use of simple tenses. Their excuse, "It's not my fault that I can't spell."

  5. Don't like to say I'm an RN. Long...

  10. stupid documentation!

    Katie5 replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

    Then it should be in quote, exactly the way it was said. Some things just should not be paraphrased. Reading it the way it is, sends all kinds of different messages.If a patient is at risk for CVA,...

  11. stupid documentation!

    Katie5 replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

    Bad documentation coupled with horrible use of tenses and spelling. We should always try to draw a picture with our documentations I've been told. It does not have to be overly wordy but just enough...

    Katie5 replied to imanedrn's topic in Emergency

    Everyone was inept at some point. It continually amazes me, that people don't get what a supportive environment can do to an individual. My self as example- I thrived when I believed that my...

  19. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    Katie5 replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    Dunce! Where in my post did you see yourself being referred to as female?The joke's on you.Who's stereotyping females now as being meek> Is that what it is?Only the not-so-smart ones get into...

  24. Facebook Policy

    Katie5 replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing
