    What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    CrazierThanYou replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    12 hours, hands down. I don't think I could go back to a job where I only had 2 days a week off. Yes, 12 hours is a long shift but it's a trade off to work on fewer days a

    Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    CrazierThanYou replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    I hate beside report because I don't feel comfortable talking about the patient in front of the patient. Making the next shift wait through an assessment? Heck

    CrazierThanYou replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work with two nurses who refused to take report from the previous nurse for 30 to 45 minutes while they combed over every inch of that nurses charting. They used it as a bullying

    School Bus Tragedy

    CrazierThanYou replied to fawnmarie's topic in School

    In this particular accident, I've seen people who know more about it than I do say that if these kids had been belted, more would have died. It's likely that some kids were thrown out of the way by...

    School Bus Tragedy

    CrazierThanYou replied to fawnmarie's topic in School

    I've seen a million posts like that. One reason I read is that the compartmentalized seats are safer than belts. Also, in case of a fire, stall on RR tracks, etc, it would impede the driver from...

    School Bus Tragedy

    I'm curious about something. When I'm charting my assessments, I am thinking of what is going on with that patient at that time. I have noticed that many of my coworkers at my current hospital will...

    How do you chart?

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Nursing

    No, its CPSI. It actually gives the choices as YES or NO but for ease of explanation, I used WNL. Previously, I have used PowerChart and McKesson, both of which had WNL and the except option. Since...
