  1. Work bags: What do you take and what's in it?

    Roseyposey replied to PediNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    You guys are way more organized and prepared than I am! I have a Target Mossimo limited edition bag - only about 8 zillion made. In it I have food (always my #1 priority), stethoscope, a pair of...

  2. Surgery floor nurses

    Roseyposey replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I'm going to talk from the other side. I am a PACU nurse. We don't transfer during shift change, which is from 1845 to 1915. I do not "drop" patients in room; I do not leave the patient's...

  3. Horrible preceptor

    Roseyposey replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I totally agree with you 110%. I get very frustrated that I pay my school quite a bit of money and really don't get much support. It is also frustrating getting turned down by providers when I know...

  4. Need opinions on workload

    Roseyposey replied to BBrinkerhoff's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are amazing! I am taking 9 credit hours this semester and recently cut my work hours back to one day per week (I am PRN). I don't think I could work that many hours; I am humbled by your...

  5. Horrible preceptor

    Roseyposey replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience. Makes you wonder why he even agreed to precept in the first place? I hope your school can find a better placement for you. Are you able to make any of...

  6. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Roseyposey replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. This is a day to remember - I am

  7. Why is it always "Fire the nurse"

    Roseyposey replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unless everybody had their fingers up there at the same time, there is no saying that she wasn't at a

  8. my coworker is trying to micromanage me!

    Roseyposey replied to andsoitis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She's on light-duty auditing charts. That does not mean she has been promoted. Just say "duly noted," and move

  9. Ethical Dilemma

    Roseyposey replied to cjcalimer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Who are the doctor's orders written for???? The name on the label is not Brandon LPN, it is Patient Doe, John. This is what doctors and nurses alike tend to forget. The doctors are absolutely NOT...

  10. Ethical Dilemma

    Roseyposey replied to cjcalimer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    At the end of the day, our patients have free will. This doesn't mean that you have to order them a pizza, but just be sure to document the teaching and inform the appropriate people that the patient...

  11. MAC anesthesia versed / propofol

    Roseyposey replied to ffliper27's topic in PACU

    I'm not sure if procedure is still considered conscious sedation when Diprivan is added into the mix - that's the line where I would be calling it MAC. I'm probably splitting hairs, and I am sure it...

  12. Tattoo question

    Roseyposey replied to SmYle4PeDs's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I'm going to sound old and grouchy...but I am going to have to be Captain Obvious here. If you think that there is a chance that a wrist tattoo may keep you from getting a job you want or may...

  13. Are advertising scrubs next?

    Roseyposey replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I already am a walking bill board - "Rosey's Hometown Hilton." And I had to pay to have that embroidered onto my scrubs. Seems to me like there is something wrong with that!!!! The hospital should...

  14. Apical Heart Sound vs. Pulmonic or Aortic area... Why use Apical?

    Roseyposey replied to Mindylane's topic in General Nursing

    You should listen at all areas - aortic, pulmonic, tricuspid, mitral. You are not merely counting S1 and S2, you are looking for clicks, gallops, murmurs, rubs, S3, S4, etc. You should know where...

  15. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Roseyposey replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    After considering my original reply, I thought I should just remain quiet. My old, tired, fat experienced self who is not worth the extra that I am paid is dominating as the voice of reason and I...

  16. Has anyone went off and did their own clinical time?

    Roseyposey replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The problem with doing it on your own time is malpractice. Even if the hours don't count toward clinical hours, there needs to be an agreement between the school and the facility for you to be there,...

  17. Off the clock

    Roseyposey replied to jbecerra's topic in General Nursing

    This is illegal. It is not okay for your coworker to work off the clock; however, the person most liable for this is the supervisor who knows and continues to allow it to happen. This smacks of a...

  18. Nicknames unprofessional?

    Roseyposey replied to blackvans1234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Not sure what is unprofessional about a nickname, especially if it a shortened version of your given name. I could see if you were calling yourself something like "Spanky" or "Tiny." I have known a...

  19. A few questions for RNs and ANRP

    Roseyposey replied to Leigne's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you really want to learn from this assignment, you need to actually speak to a nurse, not post a question to an anonymous on-line forum. First of all, you don't know for sure that the person...

  20. Patients who can do ADLs but want nurses to

    Roseyposey replied to destova's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Oh, it's okay Ms. Smith, your doc doesn't have any restriction on you...pulling up your own blanket, pouring your own water, wiping your own butt....so you just go ahead and do that if you need to....

  21. Using Your Photo As An Avatar

    Roseyposey replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Because I want you to get a good sense for the "real

  22. Most Valuable Clinical Experience?

    Roseyposey posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am only in my first rotation of clinicals (third of six semesters) and was just wondering what experiences have been the best learning opportunities? I am in a primary care, nurse-practitioner run...

  23. Help with prioritizing nursing diagnosises

    Roseyposey replied to Chiboy162's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only comment I have, because I think you should think this through yourself, is that it does not appear the g.i. function alteration is a "risk" if the pt has not had a bowel movement and you...

  24. 1st clinical experience, is this normal?

    Roseyposey replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    It was your first day, so don't be too disappointed. My question, however, is where was your clinical faculty? They should be present and available to you the entire shift. They should make sure...

  25. Differnece between root cause and risk factor?

    Roseyposey replied to Tammy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As stated by HouTx, a root cause is found after an event happens. Example: Root cause for unilateral lower extremity edema - DVT. Risk factor for DVT - s/p surgery Root cause for patient receiving...
