  5. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    rn-jane replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    That nurse should have been ashamed of herself. I've had nurses say inappropriate things similar in front of patients or family members. You handled it well in front of the patient but I would had...

  10. Can a nursing student use the word "code"?

    rn-jane replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    That must have been rough, but I think you handled it beautifully. I don't know why you could not say code blue, just anything to get assistance. I don't think the outcome would have been very...

  11. can you work...

    rn-jane replied to golfergirl17's topic in General Nursing

  14. Should Supervisor help??

    rn-jane replied to aloevera's topic in General Nursing

    The supervisor was wrong, but unfortunately what she did is probally the norm for alot of upper staffing. I've had supervisors that would pitch in to do admissions, put orders in with no secretary or...

    rn-jane replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad jack is doing well. Jack was very lucky you were on the scene. I don't think I would have done anything different. I really hate fireworks. They are illegal in our state to use. Funny...

    rn-jane replied to AngelaChanel24's topic in General Nursing

    rn-jane replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing
