    Price of Patient Satisfaction

    OCNRN63 replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    When you have all sorts of monitors telling you what's going on with the patient every second, it's a lot easier to forestall a crisis than having to do the same on an unmonitored patient x 6-7 on a...

    Price of Patient Satisfaction

    OCNRN63 replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure this would have been sage advice for that CNA who had her arm broken, or the nurse the other year whose jaw was broken by a pt., etc., etc.,

    PVT: Question of Character?

    OCNRN63 replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it's a reflection of the generation that is used to getting what it wants when it wants. I try to stay away from NCLEX-RN threads. I don't seem to say the right thing to them, so I find other...

    New Grad, work calling on days off

    OCNRN63 replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in General Nursing

    You have to practice not taking the phone call. Just because they call you doesn't mean you're obligated to answer. If they give you grief about it, tell them you'll expect to be paid "on call" time...

    Do you talk to your coworkers alot on your lunch break?

    Do you talk to your coworkers alot on your lunch break?

    OCNRN63 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why would you call someone who just wants some quite downtime "antisocial"? I don't understand people who feel as if you are there solely to entertain them. When I was working I would make some small...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    OCNRN63 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not working anymore, but when I worked in outpatient oncology, I got the flu shot. I figured even if it only minimally reduced my risk of potentially transmitting it to my patients, it was worth...

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    OCNRN63 replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I said "start an IV (or in my case, a mediport)." I said that because I don't have IVs started peripherally; nurses use my mediport. If I don't think it's safe for a CNA to start an IV, I for sure...

    Again, one more time for emphasis: There is more to nursing that just skills/tasks. I would have my teeth cleaned by a dental assistant/hygienist, because they went through an educational program that...

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    OCNRN63 replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nursing is more than just a list of tasks/skills to be completed. When a nurse asses a patient, s/he synthesizes that data and develops a plan of care. Whether it's a complex POC, or something such...

    Price of Patient Satisfaction

    OCNRN63 replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't help that hospital admin. (often people who have been far removed from the reality of nursing for many years), encourage the hotel mentality. Between being told that hospitals should run...

    It does not mean that you give up your rights. It's possible to be empathetic but not pray. If patient is capable of asking a nurse to pray for him/her, the patient is capable of saying a prayer....
