    dphrn replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I think they can view the Break Room but can not

  2. Called back for a second interview

    dphrn replied to coolatta19's topic in Nursing Career

    I would definately call back. It would not be considered pushy. Call back and tell them you are just following up on your recent interview. I would tell them that you were told there would be a...

  3. Resignation the right way

    dphrn replied to xmaxiex's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure resignation would be the correct letter to write. How about a change of employment status...something along those lines? I would check with your HR department on the correct way to...

  5. I'm writing up the CNA at my LTC facility

    dphrn replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! This seems to be the lesson the nurse needs to learn. If the other nurse is not the one to write the CNA up or the one to talk with the CNA, she will not be learning from the situation. You...

  7. I'm writing up the CNA at my LTC facility

    dphrn replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I think the person you need to be concerned with is the other nurse. If she is "afraid" of the CNA, she has issues that need to be addressed. This nurse needs to fight her own battles and learn how...

  10. 38 too old for school?

    dphrn replied to akanarn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No, no, no! It is never too late. You are still young and have many, many years ahead of you. Actually, this is probably the best time to do

  11. Question about Rituxan

    dphrn posted a topic in Oncology

    I know the side effects to look for while infusing Rituxan. My question is how does it effect the red count (H&H) after the infusion? Does it lower it as much as some other chemotherapy drugs or...

  12. Question about Rituxan

    dphrn replied to dphrn's topic in Oncology

    Thanks for the website Sharann. It doesn't look as though decreased H&H are of great concern. We had a patient whose H&H was low, so it was held. I couldn't find much info on it. Thanks...

  13. Resignation

    dphrn replied to robynhood's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't praise the nurse manager in my resignation letter if she/he was not worth the compliments. I would not write anything negative either, so it won't come back to hurt you in your career...

  14. Resignation

    dphrn replied to robynhood's topic in Nursing Career

    You do not need to give a reason in your resignation letter to the facility. Just say, Please consider this my letter of resignation. My last day of employment will be ... Thank you for the...

    dphrn replied to vaughanmk's topic in General Nursing

    Another Air Force spouse here. My husband just hit twenty years in the AF. We just found out last week that he made Chief Master Sergeant. I am so proud of him. He is in Intelligence at the...

  16. Help!! Problem with charting

    dphrn replied to RN1212's topic in General Nursing

    But was it an error or did you purposely do it? I think that is the problem. How did it come to the manager's attention? Did the admitting nurse have a problem with it? You knew you did not admit...

  17. Help!! Problem with charting

    dphrn replied to RN1212's topic in General Nursing

    You wrote the admit note and you were not the nurse who admitted the patient? I don't know the legal aspects of that, but I do know it is wrong. I am sorry, but you may have to learn a lesson the...

  18. How does your hospital handle staff who want to vote?

    dphrn replied to directcare4me's topic in General Nursing

    Our polls close here at 7pm. I work until 5pm. I will leave early at 4:30 to vote. All our patients will be through by then (outpatient chemo center). If I go in Tuesday and see they have...

  19. IV start advice

    Great post Lucy! That even helped this "not so new"

  20. 10:1 nurse to patient ratio on NOC's!!?##!!

    dphrn replied to RN_2_B_5/2004's topic in General Nursing

    That is terrible! I am so happy I am not on the floor any more! Please don't feel that you have to accept this type of working conditions. There are many jobs out there for us nurses. I would...

    Funny!

  22. My boss is out of control!

    dphrn replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    Talk with her and tell her you do not like to be called on your days off. Be honest and kind but tell her how it bothers you. She is doing it because she does not know any better. You need to talk...

  23. Gave pt the WRONG blood!

    dphrn replied to codebluechic's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Were the actual units labeled wrong? Could you elaborate on what their error was. I am

  24. Is this a joke? Please give your opinions...

    dphrn replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse six years also. We moved to VA one year ago and the starting hourly pay here (hospital staff) is $24 at one of the two main hospitals in the area. I was in IL last year and the...

  25. about injections: are filters important for ampuled drugs?

    dphrn replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    The use of a filtered needle has NOTHING to do with teaching a patient how to give epo or whether a diabetic has perfect technique. We are not talking about vials. We are talking about single use...
