  3. HELP!!!!!!!

    themoreyouknow replied to nica2010's topic in General Nursing

    This really isn't a decision anyone else can make for you. I am not familiar with the ins/outs of "sonography" but.. if I were you - this is what I would do. Find the type of facility you would want...

    themoreyouknow replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Students

  5. is a BSN going to soon be required?

    themoreyouknow replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

    themoreyouknow replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! How rude. Seriously. How very rude. "Don't give me problems if they do not get done"?? When you are a REAL nurse, I would love to hear you tell THAT to your boss. "Yeah, I didn't do the...

  7. University of Phoenix for BSN

    themoreyouknow replied to Delag5's topic in School, College Programs

    I have been attending U of P for my BSN. I'm too far in to quit, but it isn't a school I would recommend. They tell you that it's "convenient" for the working person. It truly isn't. Most classes...

    themoreyouknow replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. To quote or not to quote...

    themoreyouknow posted a topic in General Nursing

    Our director is now writing people up for using quotations in their documentation. She states it is a red flag for a lawsuit. I thought that when you had a non-compliant patient or a pt who refuses...

  10. To quote or not to quote...

    themoreyouknow replied to themoreyouknow's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks :) I realize the follow up would be to notify the charge nurse, the md, etc. We didn't have an issue with a fundal massage I was just using an example. We had a situation recently with a...

    themoreyouknow replied to themoreyouknow's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. An in a perfect world... There are patients out there that aren't nice. There are family members out there that are verbally abusive to the staff. I do not think "Pt. removed fetal monitor....

  12. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

    themoreyouknow replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true.. but I want to add... Yeah. We all went to nursing school. At one time we knew every tendon, every ligament. We knew every sign and symptom for each remote disease. Not anymore. I...

    themoreyouknow replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    Aw! Thanks

  14. Am I being too sensitive?

    themoreyouknow replied to SweetNothings's topic in General Nursing

    As always, rn/writer has hit the nail on the head - Remember this one thing: If you laugh at yourself, they have nothing to laugh at. It does diffuse the situation! When I graduated nursing school,...

  15. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

    themoreyouknow replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Lots of great points made already. I work Labor and Delivery so I'll add mine: Peeves: *Student nurses who hide. They pop into the locker room or find a nook and cranny and they hide to avoid...

    themoreyouknow replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :yeah:Your post was very well-written! With my first two children, I had Normal SVD. I kept them at my bedside and never let them go to the nursery. I was so excited to see them. With my last child,...

  17. baby to the nursery please

    themoreyouknow replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So far, it has been what I have seen. I can't vouch for this at other hospitals, but where I work - it is definitely the case. These moms want to go off the unit to get cigarettes (or whatever else...

  18. baby to the nursery please

    themoreyouknow replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree! I actually tell my moms "This is your one "Free" night of daycare! Get some rest!" They can't take care of baby if they are exhausted. This is esp true of moms who delivered in the evening....

    themoreyouknow replied to nurse2be2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wow woopcrane, you nailed it! Woopcrane has given you lots of advice! You may also do one on physical assessment of the postpartum mom. Where should the fundus be? Why is it important for mom to...

    Our nursery is open for patients to use 24/7 unless we are transporting a baby out or doing a procedure with a baby. It is open regardless of whether or not they are a c-sect or svd. Those who are...

  21. nurses attacking nurses

    themoreyouknow replied to bethgrace's topic in General Nursing

    I believe we should always use chain of command. We should address the person first. Sometimes people do not realize the mistakes they are making if we do not tell them. As this poster wrote - it's...

  24. I need two people to respond to this question about nurses and attire.

    themoreyouknow replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked med-surg and we wore white, our pts seemed to think a male nurse in all white was a Doctor for some reason. But I like the psych ward image better.

  25. I need two people to respond to this question about nurses and attire.

    themoreyouknow replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    In the hospital setting, I still like the whites. They seem more professional to me. They just seem to say "NURSE" when I see them. For some reason, I think "sterile" and "professional" when I see...
