    nyapa replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I agree with you. I wouldn't have documented aggressively, just simply stated the facts as you have. And I certainly wouldn't have used an upper case 'NOT'. I simply used that as an...

    What to do in a situation where a CNA documents lies

    nyapa replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    How do I tactfully say I'm feeling a little overwhelmed??

    nyapa replied to eccentricRN's topic in General Nursing

    nyapa replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    We now have a high dependency unit, which I guess must be a 'stepdown unit' as it is between ICU and the general wards. But at times we still need to have a 1 - 1 'nurse special'. I suppose the...

    nyapa replied to nursingstudent2815's topic in General Nursing

    "New Nurses's Don't Know Anything."

    nyapa replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in General Nursing

    Good on you for involving the doctor and documenting everything. What did she think you were going to do to him? For goodness sake! Now, you should have asked her if she had gone over her 2.5...
