    Useless Shift Report Information

    Profound perspective, Jaded! I apply this concept of dilution to admissions and charting, also. For example, I refuse to print out an entire admission packet because of the useless, outdated forms. I...

    Useless Shift Report Information

    Actually, Snatchedwig, I like it when nurses possess the ability to talk techy. No kidding, I've had nurses ask these: What's "anhedonia"? What's

    Useless Shift Report Information

    Patient report

    We have "techs" on the geriatric psych unit- some are CNAs, but most are not. The CNAs who are psych techs are great on gero because they're not afraid of doing direct patient care, whereas most techs...

    Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    A bag of frozen peas on my crotch was my friend that day, I'll tell ya for sure, amigo! A guy with a vasectomy and a Sunkist orange have this in common: All juice and no seeds! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

    She. The post ipso facto director is a she. There are serious concerns about her perception of reality. And yes, somebody holds the door open and the trays are walked in. No, the patients eat in the...

    Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    Chest bump, dude! What say we go over to the Men in Nursing forum, have a few beers, and share our stories? Fact is, (heh heh heh) do you know how a guy with a vasectomy is like a Sunkist

    Resign first or wait until I find out if I'm fired?
