    Last names on ID badges and retaliation by patients

    BabyRN2Be replied to ICRN2008's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It currently costs us some $3/mo to have an unlisted phone number. This is the only way that I'd put my last name on my ID badge. Fortunately, our hospital doesn't force personnel to have last names...

    I need a volunteer for a cultural diversity assignment

    BabyRN2Be replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry I can't help you (but would if I met your specs :)) but I suggest that you also post this over in the student forum. There's a forum in that area for questions such as these and maybe you can...

    lawsuits

    BabyRN2Be replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I would be, too! I can definitely see why you're concerned about this. Like the others have advised you, I would seek out your own insurance. It does surprise me that your school doesn't require...

    Question on Nursing home ethics

    BabyRN2Be replied to Lil_Skipper04's topic in General Nursing

    Was this a case of she "wouldn't" come in, or "couldn't" come in? The only thing that I could think of is that she was doing something personal regarding her life that she felt like the staff didn't...

    funniest thing you saw a nurse do.......

    BabyRN2Be replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a run of GI trouble about 15 years ago and had to be on hyperal for a little while. I really got along great with the night shift nurse (they all were great, but she was so cool). She came in...

    Going in tommorrow

    BabyRN2Be replied to tryinrealhard's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please try to stay positive, and keep in mind that the test is designed so that you will miss 50% of the questions. You just need to answer 50% at the rate of passing (can't remember the actual term...

    trying to decide what nursing field to go into

    BabyRN2Be replied to MaeMae43's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly what ArmyWife says. Keep your mind open. Really, you don't need to decide NOW. As you go through clinicals, you might fight a field of nursing that you never knew existed. I've been a doula...

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Can LPN's Supervise RN's?

    BabyRN2Be replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

    From what I understand it, an RN supervises an LPN, but an LPN can delegate tasks to CNA's. I'm pretty sure it's that way all over. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's the way it...

    Abbreviations No Longer Allowed by Medicare

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, our hospital has one of those and she goes from unit to unit to be sure that we are all JCAHO compliant. :angryfire I think we call her the "Abbreviation Police." I suppose I could ask her,...

    Abbreviations No Longer Allowed by Medicare

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in General Nursing

    I remember hearing that there were some common medical abbreviations that Medicare no longer allows. I believe one that I remember was the "u" in "units" and that it could be mistaken for micrograms....

    Family Witnessing Code Activities

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly what I think will happen to me. I will have nightmares about seeing my loved one coded and that's not how I would want to remember them. Also, I believe that my loved ones would not...

    Family Witnessing Code Activities

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious if anyone has seen this happen, family members becoming disruptive during a code. Anyone had this happen? Also, gr8rn has some good thoughts. It would probably be wise to find out who...
