  1. I need your advice/opinion desperately

    workinmomRN2012 replied to throwaway1's topic in General Nursing

    When a patient has asked for another nurse it's a blessing because the patient is usually a PITA. Now when this happens my first response is " thank God"! , someone else gets to deal with

  2. Pt not getting procedure because of med

    workinmomRN2012 replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    NPO at HS (midnight), is exactly that! Meds given at 2100 are fine. Most orders now will state the expection "NPO can take meds with sips of water." The provider should have simply held the med for...

  4. Virtual Nursing

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Mr. Nurse's topic in Florida Nursing

    Alot of hospital systems are going to this model of nursing. I just started my virtual position. It helps the bedside nurse by freeing up time for them to medicate patients or the actually take a...

  5. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    workinmomRN2012 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    You should also talk to your manager about this toxic work environment and tell her what you have been going thru. If she isn't sympathetic, look for another

  6. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    workinmomRN2012 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    I've always been told, "you teach people how to treat you". Sounds like you were sticking up for yourself and teaching her that she cannot get away with this behavior. Except for the yelling, you did...

  8. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, while I agree that some of the students are immature and not prepared, this does not mean that this situation did not happen. Professors are flawed people too! Maybe you had a glowing experience...

  9. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!! Now that you know, you should help the students to get the ball rolling to report these professors (I use that word very loosly) to the school and

  10. FT staff floating to COVID units and then back to dementia unit

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Mayday83's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I doubt that they have a leg to stand on. I say this only because it has already happened on the unit that I work at in a hospital (big hospital in the NE). We are a non COVID unit BUT we have staff...

  11. I Have No Words

    workinmomRN2012 replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a 24 hr job! Whatever you dont finish gets passed onto the next shift. Unfortunatly the only way to shut down theses "bullies" is to call her out. I've done this exact same thing when I...

  13. Med passes

    workinmomRN2012 replied to payitforward's topic in General Nursing

    Did I say that I actually said this??? No, I did not! and the fact that you are a nurse and you would report another nurse for "perceived" rudeness says alot about you! Ive seen your type, you come...

  14. Med passes

    workinmomRN2012 replied to payitforward's topic in General Nursing

    Or "lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part"! In other words, you should have asked all your questions when I was just in your room 5 minutes

  15. Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    workinmomRN2012 replied to allyyy's topic in General Nursing

    This nurse has already decided how she is going to interact with you judging by this statement. I would ask to be changed to another preceptor, who knows this could be her first time precepting...

  16. Help my first job feels like a nightmares

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    It is simple, I learned it and so can you. You need to combine some of the due times to make the med pass manageable. If you have meds due at 11/12/1 do the med pass at 12 and give them at one time,...

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing
