  3. CEUs

    rnto? posted a topic in General Nursing

    Where do you get good CEUs? I actually want to keep learning things, but it seems like a lot of the CEUs I've found are lacking in info or are

    rnto? replied to intothemoon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Truer words were never spoken! (And it's not just hospitals-I work in a rehab facility as a charge nurse. I work 16 hour days sometimes without even realizing that I haven't peed all day, and admin...

    So, the other day just as I was coming on shift one of the night turn nurses who is both an RN (as am I) and who has been a nurse longer than I've been alive was dealing with a low blood sugar on a...

  6. "will continue to monitor"

    rnto? posted a topic in General Nursing

    Say you are writing a general head to toe assessment in the nurses' notes. Nothing is really going on with the patient. (It's a physical therapy rehab unit). If you write "will continue to monitor" at...

  8. what can I say to a family member?

    rnto? replied to rnto?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you healer65, that was so eloquently put. I am a caring person, that's why I became a nurse in the first place. I also understand the need to be professional, which was why I went to somewhere...

  10. Is is it normal to not like nursing?

    rnto? replied to intothemoon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm about 1.5 years out of school. The first 6 months were total h-e-you get the picture. I disagree though, I don't think anything could have prepared me for the difference between school/being off...

  11. what can I say to a family member?

    rnto? replied to rnto?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I guess I don't understand what's meant by thicker skin. I don't want to see someone suffering and NOT care about it. Hopefully one day I won't cry about it (this was more of the icing on the cake, so...

  12. Blood glucose protocol in LTC facilities

    rnto? replied to rnto?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What's frustrating is that the protocol says, "call MD" and the DON is perfectly fine keeping it that way. NONE of our patients have standing orders for glucagon, etc. So I am sure this situation is...
