  1. It's Finally Happened!

    pamelalayn replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Asking why I sound so angry doesn't make any sense. Why do people feel the need and feel so proud to be like that. If a employee is so horrible, then it will show at work. Sorry, I don't have those...

    Your facility is way understaffed and I feel your frustration. 2 nurses and 1 aid for 15 patients is crazy. You are doing the best you can possibly

  5. Bedside report

    pamelalayn replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    My facility tried that crap. Going room to room and talking in front of the patient. How would you feel if two people were talking about you in front of you. This also puts us in a pickle when they...

  6. Speaking of... Getting to work early

    pamelalayn replied to jrsmrs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I get to work 30 minutes before my shift starts. If I can get my report, check my patients then check my MARS I'm doing good. The nurses that get there at 7pm (which is shift start) are way behind...

  10. First shift of preceptorship: told that my IV priming is wrong

    pamelalayn replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    It really doesn't matter either way. I am amused at your preceptor thinking she's "miss sterile". If it was you'd have a sterile field and sterile gloves etc. Washing your hands and putting on clean...

  14. Deceptive firing practices

    pamelalayn replied to TLDey's topic in Private Duty

    The company is not worried about any negativity by the nurse (either is the customer) they are just using the nurse till they find a replacement. The agency wants the customers money and does not care...

  15. Nursing Assistant Getting the Run Around

    pamelalayn replied to CheshirePlate's topic in Men in Nursing

    A hospital video is hardly a "position". I think you're looking into the importance and magnitude of it and magnifying it by 1,000. Many workers are in it and not for any grand reason. I also do not...

    pamelalayn replied to NYLiz's topic in General Nursing

    pamelalayn replied to kohayre's topic in General Nursing

    Med/Surg Oncology is a amazing opportunity! Med/Surg gives you the base for all departments. Do not be envious of the ED. With the knowledge you gain from Med/Surg you can do anything, and Oncology is...

  24. Guardrails on alaris pumps

    pamelalayn replied to Karencol's topic in General Nursing

    My faciltiy uses the Alaris pumps, we converted to these in November. I think the guardrail for the high end is definitely a good idea. You would then have to over ride the pump. But yes I agree they...
