    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Colleen84's topic in General Students

    Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    I don't really see any issue. It seems in many things people feel that others shouldn't speak about the good things. They think it's bragging, or find it annoying if they are struggling. (not saying...

    Bedside report/hand off

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to winter_green's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I will add. We have private rooms here. We go in the room and shut the door. We aren't yelling so it's not violating hipaa, the important stuff is discussed right before entering (we don't have people...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to winter_green's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We do hourly rounding too (I know it sounds like it would be to much) but the results have been the patients on the call lights around 67% less. Usually the nurse and aide (if you have one) swap off...

    Realist vs Optimist

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

    I don't see the 2 words going hand in hand. You can be an optimist and be a realist. In the scenario given earlier I don't think the optimist would just stand there hoping things get better. I think...
