    Transcription error

    noyesno replied to mak0076's topic in Patient Medications

    I blame (in order of who I blame the most): 1. The facility (for not getting with the times and mandating doctors write orders in an EMR) 2. The doctor (for having illegible handwriting, if...

    Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    noyesno replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I almost made one last night. The patient's wife was telling me I was such a great nurse. Ironic, because while she was doing this, I was about to hang an incorrect IVPB. Luckily, I always look at...

    I'm turning 25 soon and I want to be a nurse, am I kidding myself?

    We had a grandpa in our program and I don't think he was kidding himself. 25 is not too old to

    Ever work with a broken finger?

    I don't think they'll let you work with a broken finger. Is it bad I want to break my finger so I don't have to

    Lovenox same day post-op?

    noyesno replied to nursefisch's topic in Patient Medications

    We don't give it until post-op day 1. One time, a nurse in PACU gave my patient 150 mg and I couldn't stop shaking my head. I had to transfer her to ICU because she was gushing blood and having a hard...

    Why does it seem that working for a magnet hospital is a bad thing?

    noyesno replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in General Nursing

    I think it becomes a burden when non-magnet material journeys to become magnet. They add all these expectations without consideration for our crappy ratio. Leads to resentment. I'm experiencing this...

    Burned out and hate nursing

    noyesno replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I feel the exact same way. With a BSN and three years of experience there's got to be something else you can do. School nursing? OR? Maybe go part time until you can find something else. Perhap, take...

    Pain Dilemma Customer Service?

    noyesno replied to RNnur's topic in General Nursing

    Due to the customer service push, we're expected to write all PRN pain medications on the patients' whiteboards. Both the last time the medication was given and the next time it's "due" should be...

    Member of ANA: Can I ask you 7 questions?

    noyesno posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For school, I need to interview an ANA member. I have searched high and low around my hospital and cannot find one ANA member. I've asked people in management, called all the nursing supervisors on...

    Nursing is better than what is out THERE. What do you think?

    noyesno replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    That customer sounds just like a patient. This waitress won't escape this attitude by going into nursing. Just substitute, "not getting a good comment on the press-ganey" for, "not getting a

    What kind of computer should I buy for school?

    noyesno replied to bv1995's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've had mine since 2007 and I've had the same experience. Had a Dell, and it only lasted two years. I'd highly recommend a MacBook. Just make sure you get an external hard-drive and back up your...

    Home med lists make me crazy.

    noyesno replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a bad system. At my hospital, they have a pharmacist down in the ED who takes a medication history. If the patient is a poor historian or reports something that seems off, they call the...
