  1. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    An agency nurse asked us if we would not laugh at her if she told us something weird and everyone told her that they wouldn't. She said that she walked out of a room from starting an IV line and saw a...

  2. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    We had a resident that had been hollering staff members names and banging on the wall instead of using her call light the night she passed away I had helped clean her up and then went to empty the...

  3. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    We have a white figure that has been seen in the medicine room, sometimes the carts are moved down the hall while you are in a room giving meds, etc. One of the male CNAs reported seeing a very tall...

  7. How do you spell R-E-S-P-E-C-T at work?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: Respect, thats a nice idea. Just as soon as everyone gets over their drama and gossip phase we might try that. I try to be respectful but honestly I am rarely shown any respect. There are a...

  8. Phlebotomy question ( my moral brain in overdrive)

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Phlebotomy is not offered as a part of the nursing program here either but the medical microbiology professor teaches phlebotomy for $500. I would be tempted to take it for free if it were offered to...

  9. Accused of Racism!

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to yaddadoit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would not worry about this much, your CNA was being lazy and neglecting her patients and you called her on it. She is mad because you made her work. I for one say that it is time for all of the lazy...

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    I wish to ammend my previous statement to include that missile wounds are generally round in nature such as bullet injuries, the wounds are round in shape. This can vary of course with injuries such...

  14. scared...

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Onlyhuman's topic in General Nursing

    Eek! Good luck, sounds like trouble to me. The computer charting caused this problem. As far as advice tell the truth, maybe this is a problem that could be addressed with the computer

  15. Who is your Favorite TV or Movie nurse?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Really, I thought Ashley Judd acted more like the nurses I know than anyone mentioned on this thread so far. She was a stressed out mother looking for Mr. Right, raising her kids in small town...

  16. Who is your Favorite TV or Movie nurse?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot one! I absolutely loved Ashley Judd as the OB/GYN nurse in Where the Heart Is. She was a caring kind nurse and did a good job. I may be a little biased since she is an Eastern Kentucky

  18. What is on your LTC crash cart?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We probably have 20-30 out of about 100 residents that are full codes. Maybe more maybe less. Of course when the full codes get closer to the end the social workers and nurses discuss with the...

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    CapeCodMermaid, This is a small small town. The county ambulance service is the only means of transport out of our facility. Everynow and then we get a resident back from the big city using a private...

  20. CPR Question

    Chad_KY_SRNA posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question that I am almost positive I know the answer to but wanted second opinions. Long story very short, I worked my first full code after working in LTC for 2 & 1/2 years. The other...

  21. My english is horrible !!!

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

  22. CPR Question

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    jgillyrn "A CNA was bagging????" I am trying to figure out what you are trying to say, CNAs are very capable of performing in the health care setting. Many of us are CPR certified and to be honest...

  23. How many Pt do you take care of?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Franlpntorn's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly our med techs or med aides are good. The nurse can deal with her four new admits, her full code, and a couple of tunneling stage 4's (came from home like this) and the medicines are passed on...

  24. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    That is a very very odd kitty hat. Do I dare ask where you found it? I can't say much though I have put a paper "nurse cap" on George(big momma cat). And yes before anyone says it I know George is a...

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to miya's topic in General Nursing
