    Dazglue replied to willowRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What's wrong with supporting a transporter? I was once a transporter and loved my

    How does your unit handle vacations?

    Dazglue replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    We have to have our requested time off 3 months in advance. Usually it's granted. However, if there are a lot of people requested off at once (like now), they'll deny whoever doesn't have any ETO...

    School Nursing Practicum - how to translate into acute setting?

    Dazglue replied to Unesdala's topic in Pediatric

    Go for it willing to learn! You'd be surprised by how many "tricks" you learn by going to an area that you think you won't learn anything in. I precepted on a floor that was basically "well" patients...

    Camera over each pts bed on the M/S unit.

    Dazglue replied to jlog.j's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I wished we had cameras over the bed. Then maybe the "higher-uppers" will believe us when we tell them pt's are pulling off their fall alarms, or turning off their bed alarms because apparently,...

    They say nursing students are multi-tasker. Are you?

    Dazglue replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    This was just me a few years ago! On the treadmill with flashcards and my Ipod in my ear, bottle of water and towel to the side, with my phone sitting by!

    severe skin flaking...anyone seen this?

    Dazglue replied to luvbug9956's topic in General Nursing

    Just from what I've seen lately it could possibly be Staph, Scabies, Psoriasis, or extremely dry skin. Do you have an ET nurse you can

    Epic (Nursing) FAILS!

    Dazglue replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing Humor

    I guess I had one of these moments last night. Under one minute, I ran into the bedside table, tripped on the patient's shoes, hit my arm on the bed, ran into the door on my way out, got my scrub...

    Forced to be in charge before I'm ready.

    Dazglue replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on what being charge nurse means. I became charge nurse for the first time about 3 months after graduation. We alternate. We also take on a full pt load, but our charge nurses only do...

    A Rough Nursing Shift...

    Dazglue replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Omg, this was me last night! And then the house sup says, "Well, only 7 more hours to go!". But it at least it got better!!

    What do you say when calling out sick as a nurse?

    Dazglue replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Nursing Career

    I say, "This is Dazglue, and I won't be coming in to work so-and-so shift because I'm sick". That's it. I don't like going into details because they write the reason in a public book for everyone to...

    Dazglue replied to AwesomeGod's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What to do with these kind of patients?

    Dazglue posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I work on a SNF (inside of a hospital) but we get mostly med-surg patients when the hospital is full. Ok, so when the census gets to 16 or below we only have 2 nurses and 2 cna's on nights. On...

    Dazglue replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    That souds awesome! But we can don't even have enough cna's to even work. We're supposed to have 2 but lately we've had 0. Can't wait until my year is over so I can

    What to do with these kind of patients?

    Dazglue replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    I document all the things the pt does b/c we have to chart every 2 hours (such as safety measures taken to divert behavior) Managment has my written statements, copies are locked in my locker. The...

    Dazglue replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    He cant walk no more than from bed to chair. We got him up the other night and he decided he didn't want to stand up and there went my back! I gave him all kinds of things to entertain him but to...

    ACLS requires a doctor's order?

    Dazglue replied to BUNightingale's topic in Critical Care

    At our hospital it's a standing order for all MD's. It's even in our policy & procedures. As long as you're certified you are to start algorithms until the MD/code team shows up, which will only...

    What's your weird quirk?

    Dazglue replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    My left hand is my "sterile" hand after being washed and I start to eat. If I have to pause, my left hand is sticking up in the air like I'm getting ready to perform surgery. I wash my hands before...

    How old is too old?

    Dazglue replied to Maryea's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's something I don't think can have a "too old" age limit. I had a family member go to nursing school in her 50's. She did it as a hobby. She was retired, and all of her kids were grown and she...
