  1. Please share something GOOD that happened at work!

    rn undisclosed name replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I think many times we made a difference and don't even know it. I had a patient for one day. The next day I came in and didn't get my same patients back so I only had this particular patient for one...

  2. Illinois schools South Suburban College

    rn undisclosed name replied to lizzyberry's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I heard they revamped their program. They were in the process of being put on probation a couple years ago due to their pass rates. Not sure if that is true or not. I agree about the hoops they make...

  3. Should I ditch this J-O-B??

    rn undisclosed name replied to BriBriRN's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a lot. At my hospital the nurses who take those patients get 3-4 of them. 4 is the max. We have 2 different tele units. The first one takes the post op cabg patients and most sicu...

  4. Admits after 6:00 pm? Does your hospital do this?

    rn undisclosed name replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    It is the same where I am at. I got an admit at 6:30 pm yesterday and actually didn't mind BECAUSE I was working the 3pm - 11pm shift (I normally work 7am-7pm). When I get an admission 95% of the time...

    rn undisclosed name replied to NoeIssa's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love my manager. I have only been at my job for 8 months and am actually on my second manager. She is much better than the previous manager. I'm not sure what I love about her. I can go to her...

  6. Patient Safety

    rn undisclosed name replied to Rashandap's topic in General Nursing

    I agree there are no easy answers. How about the nurse up on the floor who just comes on to get report who is dealing with an acute chest pain patient needing admission and a 3rd degree symptomatic...

  7. Patient Safety

    rn undisclosed name replied to Rashandap's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my. As a nurse who receives admissions from the ER I'd love to receive a patient who already has orders. Especially when it's a doc who thinks it's not his job to return phone calls in a timely...

  8. Patient Safety

    rn undisclosed name replied to Rashandap's topic in General Nursing

    Tazzi can you please explain about admitting docs needing to see the patients. I have very rarely had a patient that I admitted who was seen by the admitting doc. Yeah, they're seen by the ER doc...

  9. Patient Safety

    rn undisclosed name replied to Rashandap's topic in General Nursing

    Since I don't work in the ER I don't understand what in the world takes so long to get patients up to the floor. When I am told they are faxing report I expect the patient to be en route up to me. I...

  10. Did anyone lose weight AFTER becoming a nurse?

    rn undisclosed name replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    I lost about 8 lbs. I still have about 6-10 lbs extra I'd like to lose. I missed so many meals and by the time I get out of work I don't always feel like eating. I have found that those yogurt...

  12. I Never Remember....

    rn undisclosed name replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much all the supplies. I go to 3 different units and each unit is set up differently even though they are all tele floors. Which stool samples go in which cups. Same with urine.

  16. Dealing with family

    rn undisclosed name posted a topic in General Nursing

    How do you deal with family? I generally don't mind them and tell them what "I" can. I ask the patient if it is ok to talk with their family unless they have dementia. I don't tell test results...

  19. Is there ANY reason for Experienced nurses to be Rude to New Nurses??

    rn undisclosed name replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    Being a new nurse I don't think this was a case of an experienced nurse being rude to a new nurse. It was just a rude nurse period. In life there are rude people and there are others who are not rude....

  20. Insight & advice on Critical care(ICU) VS. general Med-Surg floor?

    rn undisclosed name replied to RUcon08's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to recommend doing a med-surg externship depending on why you are choosing to do the externship. Why are you doing an externship? In my case I chose to do an externship to help me out...

  21. The physician made a mistake; can I get my money back?

    rn undisclosed name replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's unfair for the patient to have to pay the cost. If they don't have insurance (or inadequate insurance) it's a hardship just to pay the bill let alone $$$ in addition to the actual...

    rn undisclosed name replied to starryx2's topic in General Nursing

    How does the nursing community out there feel about semi-private rooms vs. private rooms? Don't like them. I think all rooms should be private. At my hospital a lot of the rooms are private with...
