    rn865 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

  9. Who is responsible to find shift coverage?

    rn865 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    rn865 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  13. RN filling in for receptionist, workflow.....anyone else?

    rn865 replied to tussah10's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Oh, just to add. We get paid if we stay over. We never have to stay longer to do receptionist stuff though. It's usually because patients come in late and we have to finish taking care of them. How is...

    rn865 replied to rn865's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for everyone's advice. I can't wait to work with her again and see if she still does it. If she asks me one more time, like, "Can you put her in a gown?", I plan to just say, "Would you?"...

  19. Bully?! Help,I need good comebacks!

    rn865 replied to rn865's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As far as I have seen in this urgent care, and where I work at full time, patients are not changed into gowns unless they need an x-ray. Chest x-rays are not as easy to predict as, say, an ankle or...

    I LOL'ed at this! You should've said ..since we all know they are higher than some "lowly" NP.

    rn865 replied to missladyrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow! This is your attitude as a YOUNG NP? I wonder how much worse it will be after a few years. Need to learn some humility. If you realize someone higher than you could possibly be making a mistake,...
