    Thanks

  2. Switching Careers/Being Young?

    All4NursingRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    So I've been a nurse for about 5 years now. In my late teens I'd never thought I'd do anything else besides nursing. Now I'm thinking maybe I don't want to do this for my entire life. One great...

  3. Switching Careers/Being Young?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Yeah I kinda feel like it's too early to be burnt out too. I've been an RN for almost 1 1/2 years with one year of ER experience and I feel burnt out already due to the extreme high acuity and amount...

  4. Switching Careers/Being Young?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Well I don't feel guilty because I hate it, I feel some guilt because I like bedside nursing. I can't say I love it because of the quote on quote hospital politics that surrounds being a staff nurse....

  5. How important is it to accept extra shift work?

    All4NursingRN replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when I was an LPN at first I used to do so much OT because I needed the extra shifts (they messed up and told me I was going to be full time, when in actuality they hired me for per diem) I...

  6. I've Had Absolutely ENOUGH And I Cannot Believe The Managers I work Under!

    All4NursingRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So let me start with last shift. One of the assistant managers told me she had to speak to me regarding my ''documentation'' so now I'm thinking what now? Over the last few months I've made it a habit...

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    like i have said, i agree and yes i do get it, as much as you think i don't get it. unfortunately you don't know my work environment or work situation, so you only know as much as i have told you,...

  8. Why do you do what you do and DON'T do what you don't do?

    All4NursingRN replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love the idea of knowing everything about your patients. ICU (or rather critical care areas ER/PACU/NICU) is for

  9. I've Had Absolutely ENOUGH And I Cannot Believe The Managers I work Under!

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I must have an opinion on the situation, but I think it's clear that I already stated that I will and have learn from my issues. Not an issue, I love nursing and love to learn. I know for a...

  10. I've Had Absolutely ENOUGH And I Cannot Believe The Managers I work Under!

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you're saying although I think this is a bit different from my situations in that the patient was not harmed, which is my FIRST priority. But I definitely understand the example you...

  11. I've Had Absolutely ENOUGH And I Cannot Believe The Managers I work Under!

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    In reality the job market is tough, and I need the experience, I need atleast another year to feel comfy to move on, so far I am doing well, they haven't brought up any major issues with me, it seems...

  12. I've Had Absolutely ENOUGH And I Cannot Believe The Managers I work Under!

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I have learned from them mistakes, but the fact that no other nurse I started with has this issue makes me suspicious. Also the fact that I and other nurses have seen other nurses make this...

  13. Hey Hospital X Are You Guys Doing Anything For ER Nurses Week?

    All4NursingRN posted a topic in Emergency

    So in the daily morning meeting the charge nurse says "happy ER nurses week". So then one "smart mouthed" nurse belts out, ''what are they (administration) doing to appreciate these hardworking...

  14. How Do You Administer The Following Meds?

    All4NursingRN posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Dilantin 1g IV: This much I know: Administer over 1 hour in atleast 100ml of normal saline, though I've heard people says atleast 250 ml of saline because it vasodilates blood vessels? Also I know...

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Alright I confess, yes maybe I do have too much of a chip on my shoulder, but there is some truth to what I wrote. Listen I know we nurses pit ourselves against one another way too often. It seems...

  18. Battle Of The RN's: Emergency Room Vs Floor Nurse!

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well to be honest it's a staffing issue, IMO it always is. I cannot care for an ICU patient plus 10 others and be expected to change linens and clean patients, it's physically impossible. DOn't get me...

  23. Holding Lasix

    All4NursingRN replied to roxie144's topic in General Nursing

    Can't really answer your question, but this reminds of the time I had to give Bumex 6mg to a ARF patient for a renal trial of some sort. That was my first time doing that. I asked a fellow nurse and...

  24. Would you call a code/MET on a pt. who is a complete DNR?

    All4NursingRN replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    I would have a discussion with the resident and find out if possible family/next of kin is aware of patient's condition and if they were spoken to about comfort care, this is of course after I read...

  25. Would you call a code/MET on a pt. who is a complete DNR?

    All4NursingRN replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    No. I always try to remember this when a pt is DNR. If you find them in a state which would indicate the need for resuscitation, then you do not call a code. So for example if my DNR pt is: Apneic...
