  5. Augmenting Labor (particularly before 39 weeks)

    Upgrading_Status replied to wilma30RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Upgrading_Status replied to wilma30RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At my facility a pt that us less than 39 weeks contracting Q5 and 2cm will be hydrated to see if the contractions subside. If no changes she will go home. On the flip side the same pt may be sent...

  7. About Pitocin

    Upgrading_Status replied to zje123's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. Only African American Nurse on Staff

    Upgrading_Status replied to nette1022's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure if this was your intention, but your post puts you in a category of a segregationist. How about people simply treating others with respect regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation,...

  11. Does your facility allow the floor/unit nurses write up other nurses?

  12. Does your facility allow the floor/unit nurses write up other nurses?

    Upgrading_Status replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Emergency

    Sending a patient to the floor without report regardless of reason is grounds for a write up. I can only guess that the nurse who wrote you up was busy (hence not able to come to phone for report) and...

  13. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Upgrading_Status replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Once I was in the room speaking with the patient and saw the death grip he had on the buzzer. I did pry it out of his hand while I asked why are your pressing the buzzer? This was a case of forgetful...

  14. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Upgrading_Status replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd more so like to pull the call bell from the wall when patients abuse it. Ok we have determined you are not in danger, I'll ask the doctor for your sleep aid after he returns from the code. They...

    Upgrading_Status replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What you said originally was far colder than what you really wanted to say. Had you said the latter she would have tried to justify his behavior. Your original comment just left her

    Upgrading_Status replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hate how unprofessional you are. We work nights, Patients have enough to deal with and would like to get some sleep but how could they when you are being loud and obnoxious. Zip

  20. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Upgrading_Status replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok you don't want me to wake you for morning medications, you don't want to participate in your care, you won't even let the pct's make your bed. If you needed a break from home you should have...

    Upgrading_Status replied to RN_lor's topic in General Nursing

    Upgrading_Status replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What I found mean/nasty about the OPs post was the BO comment. Perhaps the coworker needs advice on a better brand or formula. That came across as a mean girl thought, not one of oh I've worked with...
