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

    Adele_Michal7 replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, I highly doubt any type of disciplinary action can be brought against you for refusing to sign the holey MAR. I mean, if the facility wants to pursue it, wouldn't they have to fill out incident...

    Accused of narcotic/ alcohol abuse... No clue what this is about!

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Purplegiraffe's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a telephone number you can call? I would want more details. If everything you're stating is accurate, it sounds like an unsubstantiated

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes! That will always happen to me for the patients I've popped 20+ pills out. Then they want to know the name of every pill. And I of course don't

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I've had three patients so far who've done this, but: repetitive yelling. For example: a patient rang his call bell this am for his early breakfast tray. We told him it would be up shortly. From that...

    Nurses- medical provider needs your opinion!

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in General Nursing

    I've had to make phone calls I considered ridiculous. Sadly I have seen nurses fired for letting things wait till the AM. Or failing to notify the MD at all. So I just think of that during an awkward...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to imaLvn2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is it possible the nurse forgot to sign the MAR? I see this happen a lot. You potentially are getting someone fired over a missing

    Nursing School Scrubs Nostalgia

    We had ceil blue scrub tops (one chest pocket only, THE WORST) and matching scrub pants. I'm 6'3", and the shirts were navel grazing on me. The company that made them had no concept of sizes, fit,...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to lberryj's topic in General Nursing

    I love being asked for help. I'm more than happy to give it. I'm definitely not a mind reader, so if someone doesn't ask, I might not know. I do have a way of checking in on new nurses. It's happened...
