  1. slow med pass? am I really being unreasonable?

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    When I worked inpatient psych we all passed meds for our own patients. We didn't have a med nurse. So it's hard for me to help a whole lot. I guess they used to do it that way on that unit but had...

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

  3. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I should count myself lucky! I had a better experience..... I breastfed as well but I always has the option to have the nurses take the nursery if I needed them to. They always would bring me...

  4. An OB's Birth Plan

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I am sorry but I don't think that as a student or fellow RN that we should never step up to the plate and get something done that a lazy slacking nurse is not. To say that you should NEVER try to...

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    I gotta agree-- you need to get to the route of the problem and realize that this is a policy for a good reason, not just to make you miserable. The poster who tells you to get fakes and let the real...

  12. Tech saying they are a nurse

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

  17. "Compartmentalized" support staff

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

  24. Anti-psychotics and geriatrics

    RochesterRN-BSN replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC
