    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Oh, yeah, I see in the article that it says the new Prada line is inspired by sailors and doctors. Awesome, since their jobs are so similar. I just missed the fashion gene, I guess. I just dont...

    New job - how to tell them I'm pregnant?

    A&OxNone replied to Nire83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I see this question every now and then, and everytime I think about how uncomfortable it must be. Im not sure there's a really awesome way to tell them, other than say... I have a surprise! I'm half...

    Relocating and needing advice

    A&OxNone replied to RNPB10's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm not from around that area, so I can't give you suggestions of hospitals in that area, although I can tell you the job market in the Atl area is a little better than some areas in the US, but I...

    Patient abandenment and mandatory overtime

    A&OxNone replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would CALL the BON before I did anything. I understand it sounds like you would be protected based on the wording, but I would also be concerned because you would technically be leaving your...

    A&OxNone replied to gibbygator's topic in General Nursing

    I am very, very lucky to have started at a wonderful children's hospital recently, and they have a lot of good programs in place. Does your hospital do pet therapy? We have have 2 dogs that go with...

    OR Nurse thinking bout trying ED

    A&OxNone replied to IsseyM's topic in Emergency

    There are quite a few ED nurses that do OR and the other way around in my area. It's a pretty common thing to work full time in one, and PRN in another. Even though u may need to brush up on your...

    Suspended without notice

    A&OxNone replied to RUN_RN's topic in General Nursing

    How much experience do you have? My ED doesn't allow you to do triage until you have 6 months off orientation for this reason - its difficult for a brand new nurse to juggle all the things you have to...

    Med errors: subpoena, copy of incident report

    A&OxNone replied to nursing.mypassion's topic in General Nursing

    Incident reports are not a part of the patients medical record. It is an internal communication within the facility, so it isn't something that is part of the patients medical record. It's a way to...

    New Nurse Confidence?

    A&OxNone replied to LyndzBenz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    After a little over a year of experience, and I was finally able to feel like I knew what I was doing at least half the time. The other half, I still felt like I had no clue. I do think 2 years is...

    Saline flush without a physician order?

    A&OxNone replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    Today I was in the ER and thought about this thread... I thought about my 3 rooms, one had lasix ordered, one had clindo ordered, another had morphine ordered. And i thought how ridiculous it would be...

    Treating the whole patient?

    A&OxNone replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, treating the "whole" patient score may be more a reflection of the doctors. I think pain and such could be playing a role with the scores, but how many patients feel like their doctor...

    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in Pediatric

    You guys are all awesome!! These were such great answers. NicuGal, LOVE the information about the MAP. I will have to do some research about that for sure. Totally new to this world of infant/peds,...

    baby friendly questions

    A&OxNone replied to Rhee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    IMHO, the difference between being home with the baby and being in the hospital, is the mom has just given BIRTH. Exhausted, hurting mothers. I dont think it's a "bad example" to send the baby to the...

    Pregnancy and... the floor?

    A&OxNone replied to vwde's topic in General Nursing

    I, personally, have never been pregnant, but I have worked with quite a few pregnant women. I will say, nothing will irritate people more than constantly saying 'oh, I'm pregnant' and not doing your...

    "Potty Talk"

    A&OxNone replied to RosesrReder's topic in General Nursing

    We call it "Flush Flash" and its a newsletter that's up every two weeks. It even has a little cute saying... "Everybody knows because everybody goes." I wish I was joking.

    Any transplant people here?

    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Oh, I guess I should be more specific... They do mostly renal and liver tranplant. The occational heart (they usually go to the cardiac icu, but they will go there if they have had another type of...

    Need Advice as a New Nurse

    A&OxNone replied to gradnurse720's topic in Pediatric

    Trauma. Hands down. It will look good for either position, and it will be critical care experience. Not saying anything bad about L&D nurses. They stay there because they love it and have found...

    ESI triage resource help

    A&OxNone replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Emergency

    I have always had a problem with those when doing the computer assessments. I always felt like what I would put a 3, they would put as a 2. I do think you are on track with the VS though. Do they...

    What are clinicals all about????

    A&OxNone replied to BucklandRN's topic in General Students

    My whole point wasn't exactly what you say to the patient - more like, when the doc is asking questions, or radiology calls, or the lab calls, or the like a previous poster say, when the OR calls and...

    What are clinicals all about????

    A&OxNone replied to BucklandRN's topic in General Students

    Mostly, I find that as a student, you can play the "i dont know, I'm just a nursing student" card, but when you have your own patients, you are responsible for knowing about them and problem solving...

    The same old battle - work vs school! Ughh..

    A&OxNone posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I've been in hospital orientation for the new job for the last two weeks now (last day tomorrow, whooo!) I emailed my manager today, telling about my RN-BSN classes that start at the end of the...

    Narcotic Administration in ER

    A&OxNone replied to silver2009's topic in Emergency

    We do not give patient's narcotics unless they have a driver, or are being admitted. Zero. We are strict about this, because the way we look at it, even if they are homeless, if they walk into the...
