    Nurse Leigh replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Then how do you suggest that information be conveyed so that the equally busy floor nurse can start putting in for a proper bed or see if a sitter can be found if needed? If floor nurses magically...

  4. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    Nurse Leigh replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    But I bet the pt who has been on a hard gurney would like to have an appropriate bed when they get to the floor (or soon after) Yes in the ED you prioritize to stabilize but on the floor we have so...

  5. The sloppy image of nurses today

    Nurse Leigh replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No one is saying we should not appear neat and clean. But come on - the OP seems to think we should prep for work the way we might a night out with friends. And back when your mother was graded on...

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My only nursing experience was about 5 years on a (pseudo) tele floor. I have to say that as crazy as it was, I learned so much and I'm glad to have it on my resume. If I stick with nursing, I have a...

  13. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    Nurse Leigh replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can see something like this occurring in some facilities where medications given in ED may not show on the floors charting system or if the ED often doesn't have med administration charted at all....

  14. Fragrance Sacrifice

    Nurse Leigh replied to Shonqueen1's topic in General Nursing

    When I like a fragrance it tends to be the "kiss of death" - soon after the company discontinues it. Don't worry - I've never worn anything from D&G! But sorry for those who like Issey Miyake...

    Nurse Leigh replied to Shonqueen1's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I occasionally read the minutes from the BON and I'm shocked at how many chances to "improve" so many of the shady schools are given. We have many excellent state universities (and their various...

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    There was a mix up at my PCP's office and my appointment for the cyst is now next week. Thankfully the inflammation seems to be decreasing. So last night I learned I'm a bully with "mental issues"....
