    noyesno replied to BecomingNursey's topic in General Nursing

    When you posted the part about your director approaching, following the complaint, I braced for impact. So refreshing to see a supportive director. My my manager would have given me the Spanish...

    Some people are too smart for nursing

    noyesno replied to Careerchange88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I sort of agree. You have to be kind of dumb to put up with some of the BS we get handed each and every day. I have three college degrees and I'm starting graduate school this summer. Sometime, I...

    How did the 12 hour shift begin?

    noyesno replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I like the 12's. After a shift, I turn into a monster. With a 12, there's less time for me to piss off a loved one than if I work an

    To tell or not to tell!

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

    Don't tell. It will not end well for you. Don't pick up these bad habits either. You're too new on the unit to get people in trouble. Wait a while to throw your coworkers under the

    Prior arrest affect nursing license?

    noyesno replied to emart9487's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Can I have some? Totally kidding. You might want to lay off the weed if you want to go into nursing. You'll have to pass a drug test to get hired as a nurse. Most schools also drug

    I feel uncomfortable doing this

    noyesno replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would see it as an opportunity to get know this family member better. I'd ask them to send me their resume and have them answer a series of questions about their goals, work ethic, and skill sets. I...

    Nurse retention

    noyesno replied to mombuxx's topic in General Nursing

    To retain nurses, consider the following: Lunch breaks are key. So are days off. Let us use our PTO for the love of G. Don't micromanage me. Let us know our work schedule far in advance. Don't...

    I Have The Time and Other Lies

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

    All this tracking and ensuring we're doing our jobs is just plain stupid. If we're not hourly rounding or jumping through some other patient experience hoop, it's because we've been shorted staff or...

    Leaving a patient foley in

    noyesno replied to VivaLaVida14's topic in General Nursing

    Probably bc: 1. When you give a patient blood, they get a lot of fluid 2. This fluid will make the patient pee 3. Often, Lasix is given post-transfusion, this will make the patient pee even more 4....

    What grinds your gears about your coworkers?

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

    I have a few gear grinders: When receiving report, I hate when it drags on and on. Keep it short and sweet. I got **** to do. Not medicating a patient for pain all shift because, "they didn't ask for...

    Does anybody else feel guilty about calling off?

    noyesno replied to Codeblue1982's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I only do, on average, 1 mental health day a year. Our vacation and sick days are lumped into one bank. I get 29 a year and usually use them all for

    Does anybody else feel guilty about calling off?

    noyesno replied to Codeblue1982's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't even feel guilty calling in sick when I'm not even sick (mental health day). You earn those sick days. They are yours to use. They belong to you. You are the owner, the boss, of that time...

    noyesno posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a patient with a small bowel obstruction who's been outputting ~9,000 ml's every 24 hours from his nasogastric tube. This has been going on for three days. The tube is set to low intermittent...

    Thanks for the replies one and all. I'm glad I'm not the only one shocked by such a large output. FLICURN, I was wondering if he was sneaking something but the output is dark brown. Maybe he's...

    I'd like to tell you it gets better but it sounds like the experienced nurses are also running around like chickens sans heads. Get your experience and get out. Have another job lined up before doing...
