    Manager catch phrases

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I get that many aren't sincere. Same as the person who always apologizes and continues to do things. I just have never understood when people say it's a sincere apology. The very act of apologizing is...

    CNAs writing up nurses??

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to cuppa_tea's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When you say a write up are you talking about like an "incident report" type of thing where they write up what happened and it goes on to management to review and decide if it's founded or not. Or are...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    What was the point of this? Is this supposed to be the same situation as the one in the OP??? I don't care about George, I want to find

    Inappropriate nurses?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What?!? Where is this agency thread! Here I thought 4 hrs of orientation was a bit rough for my first travel assignment so the second one when I got a full day I thought it was

    Manager catch phrases

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What in the world is a professional apology?? I have never heard this before and it's cracking me up because an apology is an apology, didn't know there was a professional version and a...

    Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok here is another thread we can hopefully get going for nurse veterans and young nurses to see what's to come. What are some of the craziest chief complaints or diagnosis you have seen. I don't want...

    What Did You Get For Nurses Week?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to iPink's topic in General Nursing

    I just saw my old hospital went way cheap this year. When I worked there we had gotten a 2 set of tumbler glasses one year and the next year a really nice over sized umbrella. This year they gave the...

    New to IPN??? What is it?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Tuts00RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a controlled substance requiring a prescription. Which if they had a script they would be OK, but looking at their post they didn't have a script. I had to go back and check because I was going...

    Pain management approach

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

    You chart something like: Patient rates their pain an 8. Doctor Who notified, no new orders at this time. Will continue to monitor. You can offer some none pharmacological interventions and chart...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL A prying attitude? Your patient load is supposed to be a secret? Based off your original post, the person that had a very rude harsh response was you. You just ASSUMED his reasoning for asking,...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with everyone else but because I suspect you probably email management a lot I would like for you to consider something. I really wish that we would think twice before emailing management. I...

    Documenting injection the MD gave

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    Same for us on the first although Propofol push is the only common one I can think of that we aren't allowed to push. But I know this varies states to states. In the facilities I have worked in it...

    They want me to be an RN

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to AspiringMD585's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to note that some of my favorite doctors started off as nurses. For various reasons they couldn't do it traditionally. You can still be very driven and not be traditional. I was up against...

    They want me to be an RN

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to AspiringMD585's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anything can be beneficial if you're willing to see it that way. If going the traditional route is not doable for you I don't see how this is a bad idea. I have met many doctors that were first...

    Documenting injection the MD gave

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    Yea that would make me far more hesitant and uncomfortable. Especially if there was no reason why they couldn't just chart they gave it. Like there was no specific reason why it had to be done by you....

    Your clinical experiences with the nurses?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to The_Muffintime's topic in General Students

    I have watched a LOT of nursing students and new grads get precepted. I have been a preceptor for many myself. Here is what I have noticed. For whatever reason (I honestly am not sure why it is) I...

    "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    Yea that was my bad. It was one of the few times my post was literally directly to that specific poster and something only they would understand. I didn't think about the fact that it wouldn't make...

    "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    Documenting injection the MD gave

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    This situation might be very different then what some of us are talking about we experience in the ER. Who drew up and gave him the med? Or do your physicians have access to meds? I would feel...

    Documenting injection the MD gave

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    As stated in this thread, some EMR's are set up that the doctors can not chart the medications. It has to be charted by the nurse or the medication continues to show up like it wasn't given. Which is...

    Documenting injection the MD gave

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    The docs give the meds in your RSI's? Are there two docs present? Curious because I know things vary place to place so if the doc is giving the med I was wondering if another doc is intubating, or if...

    "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    I would be willing to bet that it comes down to your interview. When you sit in the office to interview with HR and then the nursing staff (if done separately) you have to sell yourself. Not your...
