    So I guess it is true...

    noyesno replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I can understand why you're upset, she led you to believe your skills were up to par and then out of no where claims she is 'uncomfortable' with your skills. Also, she didn't let you know right away...

    new RN job away from bedside

    noyesno replied to mntcra's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hardly anyone gets placed in an internship. Last I heard, less than 50% of applicants get placed. Really screws a lot of people over. Not a ton you can do with just the bachelors or masters. Glad I...

    new RN job away from bedside

    noyesno replied to mntcra's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like a really cool job. With your educational background and lifestyle you'll be a great coach! Are you a RD as well? I have a BS in dietetics but never did the internship to become eligible...

    Dumb things new nurses do....

    noyesno replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did that with TPN once. Sticky buns

    :cheers: I did the same thing with heparin. Drew a PTT and got a buzz from the lab reporting a panic high.

    Bad nurse, bad nurse Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do When the foley police come for you I should probably write a song.

    Foley Catheter Removal for SCIP Core Measure

    noyesno replied to NurseAnnie123's topic in General Nursing

    We have the "foley police," they enforce foley violations by calling the nurse over and over again until the foley comes out. Ours have to come out by POD

    Night Shift or Evening Shift

    noyesno replied to MsNewbie's topic in Nursing Career

    I prefer 3-11 to 11-7 but it's definitely put a damper on my social life. As AZMOMO2 said above, you miss out on so many social things. It's hard to go to bed right after work because it takes a while...

    Nurse's getting younger

    noyesno replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    Bunch of youngsters on my floor. A few days ago, it was quite the scary scene. They put one of my fellow new grads as charge (who is awesome but she's 23 with 9 months of experience). The only...

    informed consent

    noyesno replied to shortd's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How about for a TEE? The MD had not explained the TEE to the patient and all the nurses on the floor said I should do it, "just print out some information and explain it to the patient." I understand...

    Not a waitress or barista

    noyesno posted a topic in General Nursing

    Annoyed at the growing number of patients/patient family members who think nurses double as waitresses and/or baristas. This week, I got asked: "What's the soup of the day?" "Can I have some tea? Two...

    Admissions during change of shift

    noyesno replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Nursing

    I hate change of shift admissions! The worst days are those you start out as the first person getting an admission at shift change #1 because you are very likely going to getting another admission...

    crap...am I in huge trouble???

    noyesno replied to Rnis's topic in General Nursing

    I did the same thing this week (patient was trying to pee and could not so I ran the water for them)! I guess our drains don't drain and water flooded the bathroom, half of the patient's room, and...

    Nurses that Create a Hostile Work Environment

    noyesno replied to wendmill's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I was on orientation, two admissions were coming to the floor. A nurse ran over to the charge nurse (her BFF) and said, "give noyesno the harder admission, I hope she can handle it," and then...

    Tonight was a good shift. Made over $100 in tips! JK. Loving these responses. Glad we're all in this

    So irritated!

    noyesno replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Emergency

    I think we had the same Monday. PMS and all. I do a lot of under the breath mumbling. Call people a$$holes and such (quiet so they don't hear you). Throw in a few F bombs (obviously). Combine a$$hole...

    Time in Nurse Handover??

    noyesno replied to summerscoopy26's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Omg, ours take about 45 minutes or longer. Drives me crazy. Only 30 minutes is allotted for report so I always get out late. We usually have 6 patients and 9 times out of 10 you have to give report to...

    skin breakdown after total knee

    noyesno replied to Tsatalstrana's topic in General Nursing

    Activity orders are usually: "dangle tonight for dinner" (this is the day of surgery), then, "ambulate with assist" and "out of bed in chair for all meals" for post-op day 1 and on. No turning...

    Curious, re nursing and weight loss

    noyesno replied to Bonnie86's topic in General Nursing

    I lost a few pounds due to a decreased intake (I don't eat when I'm stressed). I force myself to get my 30 minute unpaid break, even if it's right before my shift ends, even if I haven't charted yet...

    What would you rather do than go into work this weekend?

    noyesno replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd rather be a dog, going on a nice long walk through the forest preserve. I'd pee on every tree and wag my tail all day

    medsurg nurses, how many admits/discharges on a typical shift?

    noyesno replied to pale_pilsen's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I work the 3-1130 shift. Sometimes, I start with 6. Discharge 2. Admit 2. Really frustrating if the discharges were "held onto" by day shift (and none of the paper work is done). Other times, I...

    Horrible CNA's

    noyesno replied to tojal1989's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To prevent this I/O problem in the future, check with the CNA at the beginning of the shift to make sure they know you need I/O's on the patient. If they don't comply after making this clear then you...

    Number of patients you care for?

    noyesno replied to winter_green's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1:6 on my ortho/neuro/trauma floor. PCT ratio is ~1:12. Wish they would lower the PCT ratio because none of my patients can walk on their own and I spend so much time helping them do so (don't mind,...
