    netglow replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    Mjmoon, Hey, just a little fastforward for ya. You need to look into what a nursing job entails. Just FYI, before you go further in your education. I have a feeling that you are not prepared for the...

    asking for meds?

    netglow replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    It's called pain management folks. Know the etiology/pathophysiology of the pain that it is YOUR JOB to manage. Learn your pain meds, learn your pharmokinetics, and learn your patient and you will be...

    asking for meds?

    netglow replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    OK, trump card here for all. I had endometriosis IV. It was quite active years ago and I had severe pain for years. No worries now, I researched and found a K/A surgeon, and I've been golden since....

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    netglow replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh, yeeeeeeesssss! Your height is an advantage, use it. I do. Though I would never do this (often tempted) at work, I will tell you a bar story from years ago just for laughs, when I was in college...

    Advice needed (sorry so long lol)

    netglow replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes they can. Sorry. If the Charge told you that you could not go (did I get that right?) and you arranged for yourself to go against management, you could even be fired. Thing is, babies come all the...

    Do male RN's have any business learning sonography?

    netglow replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    OP if you are worried about translady partsl, you can always drape the patient, offer the wand to the pt, and ask if she would rather insert it for comfort reasons. Female sonographers will offer this...

    netglow replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, he's a BOY. You gotta just say what you want. He'll never figure it out on his own. In fact, he'll even say in disbelief some day, "You should have told me you wanted that position. I didn't...

    DNR POLST not signed by conservator, signed by MD

    netglow replied to Loving.Very.Nice's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    FLArn, yes you are correct (sorry to confuse). Mine, is that I would not admit under the situation the Op was in (I don't have to). No DON/MD can shove an ambiguous/incomplete DNR form at me and...

    Handling delegation

    netglow replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    She's right Canes, seriously. Get some xanax first, 'cause I know you will need it if you are going to survive letting the chips fall where ever they may. Let the holes in continuity/schedule open...

    DNR POLST not signed by conservator, signed by MD

    netglow replied to Loving.Very.Nice's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She is in a spot isn't she. Here's sending her strength. The more I ruminate for her, the more I code the pt. but as soon as I get to work I page the MD and let him know what's what. He probably...

    DNR POLST not signed by conservator, signed by MD

    netglow replied to Loving.Very.Nice's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hmmm. Your DON needs to revisit this. Show her missing signatures on the forms. It is my understanding that MD, POA, Witnesses must be on DNR form for validity. Do you guys have a socialworker to run...

    Lutheran General or Condell anyone?

    netglow posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    Anybody have/heard of the atmosphere for nurses on particular units at either of these hospitals? Good place to learn with good preceptors? or, not so

    Lutheran General or Condell anyone?

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey Luvs, I take it you are not in nursing yet? A nurses perspective is really what I'm trying to get. But if you tech, you'd know what I am talking about, the floors everybody says not to work on at...

    help! resigning from an unsafe facility after working only a couple weeks

    netglow replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OP, I found myself in a dangerous situation. I left. But I was there a bit over a month. I gave my 2 weeks notice and remained professional. It was a tough decision to do the two weeks. Still don't...

    How do you handle patients/relatives?

    netglow replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Another thing. Family and friends of patients who tell you they are RNs, or whatever, often are not. I've always doubted when someone pipes up with this information. Same with "My so, and so, is an...

    asking for meds?

    netglow replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    I think this feeling some have that it is a bother to assess people for pain (like, you don't "do windows" or something) is odd. I can't wrap my brain around why you feel this way. Heck, just give the...

    new grad, multiple offers,

    netglow replied to JEAN09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Per diem as a new grad nurse means you will not learn past your orientation, and, you will not get enough hours to eat and pay your bills. This type of job rarely turns into full time. Maybe it used...

    Promised job, now they won't hire me

    netglow replied to caramelcomet's topic in General Nursing

    The other candidates have better connections than you do. That is all it is. Nursing isn't about who is best for the job, it's about who you know it seems these
