    Tattoos!

    Adele_Michal7 replied to mmbucklerky's topic in General Students

    I've heard knuckle tattoos have a ridiculously high fading rate, and I imagine all the washing we do wouldn't help. My sister who is a hairdresser got knuckle tattoos. She said she really regretted...

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I thought of another one! I'll be pulling meds or doing some other nurse task. A CNA will walk up to me and say, "Patient X needs to talk to you." (I despite that statement, but that's for another...

    I moved here and I started the process before leaving. I don't remember the exact length but I think it was a few months.

    Do you talk to your coworkers alot on your lunch break?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mainly talk about work and nursing things. Personally I keep it light and I don't share anything about my personal life. Most of coworkers will from time to time. They may ask advice or share about a...

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't always annoy me, but more times than not, it does: When patients have every medication they take written down in a book next to their bed. More often than not, they have things written...

    Tattoos!

    Adele_Michal7 replied to mmbucklerky's topic in General Students

    They are so common. The place I work at now is the only place I've worked where no one has any. I mean, unless they're all well hidden.

    New grad med passing

    Adele_Michal7 replied to chedder's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to echo what previous posters have said. I think that your management is being stressed and paranoid with a survey on the horizon. However, they need to show more gratitude that a NOC nurse...

    I would think that this would be a poor fit for a new graduate; especially given that it would be for 4-5

    Legally how many doses can a nurse hold?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Donnagg123's topic in Patient Medications

    At my facility, 3 doses, and notify MD. Document lack of or presence of adverse reactions, reason for refusal/holding. Nursing judgement comes into play here. If a patient is refusing scheduled...

    Disgusted with nursing right now! Job #2 in 3 months!

    I'm glad. I really don't think you have anything to worry about.

    When do you know to call the doctor?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with previous posters, especially re: waiting for doctors to round on non-emergent issues. If labs come in and they aren't STAT labs or critical values, I usually know they can wait for when...

    Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Full disclosure. I didn't read every word of your post. The part that caught my eye was "CNA's are told not asked... To complete tasks" I don't know the spirit in which these nurses told their aides...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Purplegiraffe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with PP above. I could be grossly misinformed, but there's just no way a nurse can be asked to join a treatment program due to a random complaint. A random unsubstantiated
