  1. Why don't docs send these pt's HOME!?

    zofran replied to zofran's topic in General Nursing

    I wish our hospital would make these floor leavers readmit to the ED. That is a great idea! I am going to ask the docs about this. I also like the different colored gowns for flight risks..the narcan...

  2. Why don't docs send these pt's HOME!?

    zofran replied to zofran's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the fear of lawsuits....But if the pt was repeatedlly educated and the documentation was REALLY good...I don't see how these pts would even have a chance of wining a lawsuit. As for the...

  3. What would you have said to this CNA

    zofran posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was almost done posting this but it went away? Sorry if it comes up twice??? Anyway, I am an RN on a busy day shift med-surg/onc floor. The other day it was crazy. It was about 1400 and I had not...

  4. An interesting policy

    zofran replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    Although I don't work in the ED, this sounds like a great idea. The ED really isn't the place to manage chronic pain/dental pain etc.., and like other posters have said, directing these people back to...

    zofran replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

  7. Things you'd LOVE to tell the doc and get away with it....

    zofran replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    To the oncologist who I called at 7:30am and told you your CANCER pt had pain out of control. You said..Oh I'm not on, you need to call someone else. Then you showed up at 9:00 with starbucks in...

  8. What would you have said to this CNA

    zofran replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow....I didn't expect this thread to get so long! Here is a little update.....then maybe we can all move on. The cna that said that to me got fired. I guess there were multiple other issues with her....

  9. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    zofran replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I believe I took up nursing to save my sons life......but I didn't know it then. I had been a stay at home mom to 3 kids for almost 10 years. Yes, I was so glad I could do this but I was also so...

  10. What would you have said to this CNA

    zofran replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It was a bad day, thats why I waited so long to get a break. I know that waiting until you feel sick is not a good.....And usually take a break sooner. This CNA has been a problem for a long time. And...

    zofran replied to Tonyapate's topic in General Nursing

    I think I said "Can I really do this?" to myself almost everyday during nursing school!!!! Now I have been "doing it" for about 4 years. Like other posters have said, the actual nursing math isn't too...

  14. The dreaded weakness interview question

    zofran replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck on your up coming interview! I don't think it's a bad idea to say you need to improve on some of your nursing skills when asked about weaknesses. I said that in my interview 4 yrs ago and I...

  15. Who hates nursing, honestly????

    zofran replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I do hate some parts of the job.......Like some days I don't get to eat or pee! But overall I really love the nurses I work with, most of the patients, and some days I feel like I made a...

  16. Second Class Citizens

    zofran replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!! You sound so bitter.....maybe jealous of the day shift hours? I am a day shift nurse and some of your comments rubbed me the wrong way. For example I don't consider myself a "prima donna of...
