  1. Woud this sound "demanding?"

    Roseyposey replied to Krissiana's topic in General Nursing

    I would let your nurses know about your previous experiences. However, don't discount the skills of the nurses who work procedures or same-day surgery areas - I know in my hospital they are often...

  2. To-Keep-open Infusion rates

    Roseyposey replied to DJ-Adia's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    We usually set them at 20-30 mls/hr. It is supposed to be policy that the MD has to actually give us a rate, not merely "KVO" for an order. However, doctors very rarely look at

  3. a med from transfer sheet missed caused injury

    Roseyposey replied to leeposh's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have one wrench to throw into this, however. Someone with more knowledge of the legal system, please feel free to chime in here. In my previous life as a (non-nursing) supervisor, I was trained...

  4. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    Roseyposey replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think any nurse would say they like poo. We do, however, get very excited about the fact that a post-op is having one. I have a hard time with it as well; however, I have found the best thing...

  5. Does any other night shifters feel like days has no idea how nights works?

    Roseyposey replied to thomask's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite is when they say they couldn't get reach of Dr. So-n-so and would we mind doing it? Let me get this straight, you couldn't get ahold of him during office hours, so now you are setting me...

  6. Made first med error :( Filled out first OAR.

    Roseyposey replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has made a medication error. I made my first while on orientation myself, only I over medicated someone instead of under-medicating. I felt absolutely sick to my stomach and terrified to...

  7. first name last name issue and drama

    Roseyposey replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%, I'd be writing her high-and-might-last-name rear end

  8. Valet Parking

    Roseyposey posted a topic in General Nursing

    My hospital announced as part of its commitment to customer service, it will now start to offer valet parking. I am very comforted by the thought that our patients' visitors will no longer have to...

  9. Valet Parking

    Roseyposey replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Nursing

    However, there have also been many falls r/t shortage of nursing

  10. Tricky test question on nutrition

    Roseyposey replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would have said carbohydrates since they are sugar. When I think of fat, I think more of

  11. Breaks

    Roseyposey replied to frog96's topic in General Nursing

    Break?

  12. Do you find that Nursing school was alot harder than actually working as a Rn?

    Roseyposey replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I can honestly say that nursing school vs. my orientation as an RN was a cake walk. The learning curve is much steeper once I hit the floor. In nursing school, you have one patient that you prepare...

  13. Bariatric Surgery....years later

    Roseyposey replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    At any given time on my floor we are taking care of at least one person who is 1+ years post RnY with complications - usually due to

  14. Anyone work in a Doctors Walk in Clinic? r/o

    Roseyposey replied to happymama's topic in General Nursing

    I have a part-time job in an urgent care clinic; I've worked there about 16 months. I really enjoy it, but I have to admit I do become a little tired of the endless supply of people with the...

  15. Very Frustrated - does this sound safe?

    Roseyposey posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Maybe I'm over-reacting, but here's the scenario for the last two days: I work on a surgical floor (we get some med overflow, but mostly surgical - lots of Roux-en-Y, hysterectomies, abdominal type...

  16. Very Frustrated - does this sound safe?

    Roseyposey replied to Roseyposey's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes we have a rapid response and a house sup. (who covers two buildings). The house supervisors pretty much just come through and check census to send people home. The main problem doesn't so much...

  17. To Scuttle or Not to Scuttle?

    Roseyposey replied to Southernurse's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, it depends on the doctor. Most of the doctors want us to round with them when we can (we are practicing "relationship-based care" which as far as I can tell simply means the hospital...

  18. Dissatisfaction again

    Roseyposey replied to marjoriemac's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's everywhere. I work on a general surgical floor in a fairly small town. A group of docs decided they wanted to perform bariatric surgeries. Supposedly, they only take the "healthiest"...

  19. I think I've heard it all

    Roseyposey replied to kimmie1224's topic in General Nursing

    Man, there's dogs getting gorked all over the place. I had a call last week about a dog eating an entire bottle of Percocet. - The PA at my work said he would gladly write a new Rx upon receipt of a...

  20. Homemade forms to manage you patients

    Roseyposey replied to Clever User Name's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am very interested to see if anyone has a form they would share. I have tried a couple, but so far haven't found one that works well for me. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone has a...

    Anybody,

  23. if breastfeeding with sore nipples

    Roseyposey replied to GingerSue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know what your instructor expects, but mine wanted a certain number of Dx on each mom and baby when I did my OB rotation, and here you've got one for mom and one for baby. Mom has the pain...

  24. Does anyone else see discrimination? Long Post but please read!

    Roseyposey replied to SoontobeAdrienneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get discouraged; that's what subpoenas are for. I would definitely file a complaint with the EEOC and let their lawyers sort through it. It might even be worth your time to make a phone call...

  25. Press Gainey AARRGGHH

    Roseyposey replied to susi_q's topic in Emergency

    Now there's a place I want to sit and relax with a cup of coffee. Maybe there's no cup holder in the bathroom because it is dis-gus-ting to drink out of a cup that's been in there....but, then again,...
