  1. What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    sevensonnets replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

  3. Not receiving desired assignments but receiving unwanted assignments?

    sevensonnets replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    JadedCPN, you have just cleared up the mystery of why when I "continually expressed disinterest" in English peas my mom served them up for a week! Just go ahead and eat a bite or two. Ain't gonna kill...

  6. NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    sevensonnets replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! Hospital corners and postop beds with layers of drawsheets so you didn't have to change the sheets for a couple of days. Fanfolding the top sheet. Open edge of the pillow case facing away from...

  7. What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    sevensonnets replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    Always call the supervisor first; Don't wait till they round in the middle of the night. Let the supervisor be the person who discovers her. A nurse who can sleep through a code? That's grounds for...

  8. NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    sevensonnets replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Chicago Hope started about the same time as ER. Understandably, it didn't last long. I switched to ER after the DNR episode. Don't know what happened to the patient that got the heart that got dumped...

  9. NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    sevensonnets replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    On Chicago Hope the "head nurse" in the ED also scrubbed in to a heart transplant with the doc she was having an affair with. If memory serves me correctly she's the one who dropped the heart on the...

  12. Does it feel to everyone else that many newer nurses glamourize the ER and ICU?

    sevensonnets replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I can't even count how many people I've interviewed right of school who want to work in ICU because it's always been their dream job and you only have two patients so you have plenty of time to sit...

  14. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    sevensonnets replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, Kooky Korky, I've been working in CVICU for 42 years, working for the last 26 of those years in the same hospital. I'm not of the 'things don't go my way so I'll cut and run' mentality. If a...

  15. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    sevensonnets replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

    You should take an EKG class and work on learning basic rhythm interpretation. Make sure you are BLS proficient and what your role is in any cardiac emergency. Not all rhythm changes are an emergency....

    sevensonnets replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

  17. How to work with nurses who have attitude?

    sevensonnets replied to NurseCam's topic in General Nursing

    JKL and JadedCPN have given you excellent advice. It's up to you to take it and run with it or continue to be miserable. If everybody you work with is 'giving you attitude,' examine your own attitude...

    sevensonnets replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    CalicoKitty, I love hearing that you're a hand holder and hugger too! It's sad that we can't do that so much anymore in the age of COVID, because a human touch is what patients need now. I miss being...

  19. Polite way to deal with AWOL CNA’s?

    sevensonnets replied to Beepbeepbeep's topic in General Nursing

  22. Nurse Stealing Narcotic And Get Away With It

    sevensonnets replied to April90's topic in General Nursing

    It's been a long time since we did paper charting but it's pretty much standard procedure that if the counts don't match up time stops until the discrepancy is resolved. Keys are not handed off and...

  25. Domestic Violence Screening

    sevensonnets replied to Nurse Mack's topic in Patient Education

    I'm quite well aware of that; my question to you was what would you do with that information? Again, that is an issue for your employer to decide before you proceed. I don't see getting a flu shot at...
