  1. Would you marry a Doctor?

    tyloo replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I prefer them dumb, humble, hot!!! Docs aren't packaged like that or if they are then they must be the ones on television. Oh and I never dated someone in the medical community. I don't want to...

  2. Limited CNS schools should I be worried?

    tyloo replied to tyloo's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    thanks for your comments. i like the traditional role of cns. although in my state the cns have prescriptive authority i don't really want that responsibility. i would like to have the knowledge of...

  3. Limited CNS schools should I be worried?

    tyloo replied to tyloo's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Thank you trauma for your advice. I am doing search engines for jobs directly related to CNS. I also will contact my local hospitals' HR departments to see how they utilize the CNS in their...

  4. Sleeping on the job

    tyloo replied to mairose15's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this poster 100%. You may feel guilty for, "telling," on her but your responsibility lies with your patients. There is no excuse for someone to sleep on the

  5. Told a doctor about how I thought he felt I had no common sense

    tyloo replied to ratherbe's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos for you being assertive and directly telling him how you feel. Maybe he will think about what you said to him just like you are taking in consideration of what he said to you. You have been...

  6. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    tyloo replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you orientate an orientatee does that make you an orientator?

  7. Nurse assaulted

    tyloo replied to Nursebarebari's topic in General Nursing

    Terrible that she was not permitted or strongly discouraged to not call the police. The hospital has no care for their employees welfare if this is the case. How far is too far? The results could...

  8. How many patients is/are too many?

    tyloo replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Med surg was my most difficult job I have ever had. I empathize with you. I had eight patients on daylight, nine on evenings, and ten on nights. I was a new grad myself back then. I stuck it out...

  9. pt weights

    tyloo replied to armynurse,rn's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I could not imagine a facility not having a scale. However the patient must have dialysis so a UF goal can be based on objective data like BP, edema, I&O's, lung sounds, JVD,and subjective data...

  10. Taking picture of patient?

    tyloo replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    here is my response to the above question: hipaa does not go into specifics however it does give generalizations of what is considered phi. specifically hospitals have their own policies that...

  11. Concerned that my "type B" personality won't cut it!

    tyloo replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    Type B people don't have lower standards nor are they slacked. Having lower standards and not having, "pep in your step," or hussle just means that you are not cut out to be a nurse. This is valid...

  12. Taking picture of patient?

    tyloo replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Don't beat yourself up. The other nurse you confided to chose to go to management making it an issue. I don't know what her/his intentions were but that was her choice and if the nurse gets...

  13. Taking picture of patient?

    tyloo replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    The pic was wrong but I would have approached your fellow nurse first about it and not go to another nurse. The other nurse could have not cared for the nurse that took the pic and then took full...

  14. Dialysis Care Exposed in the Media

    tyloo replied to anurseadvocate's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I believe I read the article it was basically negative right? After I read it I felt horrible that anyone would experience that type of care. I also felt ashamed that I had worked dialysis but then...

  15. ok, am I boring?

    tyloo replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

    You are normal. Spending all day answering phones, call bell lights, talking to families, taking off orders, running, and running some more no wonder we are tired after work. I have always had a...

  16. Feeling guilty about working over shift end

    tyloo replied to CareteamRN70's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It all depends on the place you work at. I found that if the place is staffed right with the correct/doable patient: nurse ratio, you have an outstanding aide, and not off the wall thing happens like...

  17. work right away or continue with school?

    tyloo replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in General Nursing

    You stated you have full educational benefits that you will lose if you don't use them by the end of the year. For that reason I would say take a full load of classes this upcoming semester and don't...

  18. Getting Out

    tyloo replied to RN0820's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for eight years and my first year was on med-surg. I went there hoping to stick it out for two years but after one year I had my fill of patient load. I went to a cardiac floor...

    tyloo replied to BlackRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I have the same personality and an totally relate. I have been a nurse for eight years and have had over six jobs in about four different fields. I felt on the edge being at work because I feel like...
