    Is bringing dougnuts for my clinical unit o.k.?

    Food is always good. But make sure you let all the RNs know it's there so they can try to make a jump on the food before the MDs round. One Male MD can inhale 12 donuts in approximately 2 minutes whle...

    Nurse with Disdain

    Susie2310, I don't know what kind of role you have, but I seriously don't know of ANY nurse that fits this warm and fuzzy doormat description you made?! Most nurses I know are highly educated and came...
  7. I have read on this forum of nurses having problems precisely because there was no BSN granted on the way to MSN. I really wish things were not so scattered in nursing - it is hard for anyone to make...
  8. I agree OP, you should go inform your supervisor that "some nurses" were very sure that I should not be entering pain info, and ask if you still are to do so. I think they are upset because if...

    bolus w/o order....yes or no?

    True, but depending on the nurse, and in what role that nurse has worked and what she knows about this particular surgeon, etc. this might not be soooooooooo odd. Each nurse decides what they are...

    bolus w/o order....yes or no?

    At first I thought the info would be that he was having a hypotensive episode... I wonder if he went down a little too much, and she thought that a bolus would fix that or something. Wow, kinda

    New Nurse can't eat lunch

    Why don't you just take her aside and calmly explain how things are supposed to work with this. I bet she's overwhelmed, and needs someone who doesn't look at her like she has the plague. Maybe she...

    Nurse with Disdain

    OP, I totally understand you. You, probably loved the science and the technical knowledge aspects - like me. You are also quick to see the lay of the land, like me. You are pretty sure that unless...
  14. Pepper, don't you think the "She's too sleepy" one beats all? It's like they think it's rude of the nurse not to have their mom "lively" for their visit or something. What? is she a

    Are you a new informatics nurse?

    I used to keep watch for informatics and it used to be all the rage at the very beginning of EMR assimilation. Everybody wanted several experienced RNs with dual IT background to translate and hold...

  20. there are a few newbie problem children as of late. But, some of them do change once they get good and scared. We all can guarantee that this will be nursing's gift for the little chicklets - a come...

    *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    You are great for taking an interest in keeping your students from harm. I know that sounds harsh, but it really is horrible if you cannot pay that debt, and having a nursing degree gets you...
