  1. BID Bowel Programs

    weesyanne replied to mitzicat's topic in Rehabilitation

    It seems to me with the BID bowel program that the patients wouldn't have time for any therapy because of having bowel movements all day and evening. Unless the person is extremely constipated, I...

  2. need help--husband died at home

    weesyanne replied to pyseymo's topic in Cardiac

    pyseymo, I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds to me like you did everything in your power to help you husband. He may never have had any rhythm other than fine v-fib or asystole. I hope you have a...

  3. Difficult situation

    weesyanne posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi guys, I work for a relatively small specialty hospital. We have a lot of interaction with ancillary departments, particularly with respiratory therapy. I think the majority of their staff is...

  4. Difficult situation

    weesyanne replied to weesyanne's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Jennifer_25, and everyone else, too for your replies. Not that it really matters, but I didn't do anything wrong for her to say anything in front of this patient and family member to start...

  5. Night Shift and Health

    weesyanne replied to RNSuzq1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I like to work no more than two nights in a row. Normally, I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. That way, I'm not exhausted. :zzzzz I've been working nights for about 15-20 years and I find that it...

  6. Difficult situation

    weesyanne replied to weesyanne's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions and comments. It's a repeated problem with this particular R.T. and not just with me, but with many nurses. No other R.T. has ever done anything of the sort. If...

  7. VIP Triage

    weesyanne replied to mannurse65's topic in Emergency

    The State Senator could have a potentially huge impact on state Medicaid funding for hospitals and healthcare organizations. He or she could make proposals that are beneficial or harmful to those of...

  8. Is there ANY reason for Experienced nurses to be Rude to New Nurses??

    weesyanne replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    The person that attacked you was a relatively new nurse, not an experienced one. It seems to me that your coworkers were defending you to this extremely rude person, if I read your post correctly. She...

  9. "Funny Codes"?

    weesyanne replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

    I just thought of another funny "code" situation. I was working on a cardiac stepdown unit one day and the monitor tech yelled, "Room 109 is in V-tach!" We all went running down to the room, pushing...

  10. "Funny Codes"?

    weesyanne replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't really a code story, but it was funny to me and my coworker at the time, so here goes: We had these two older debilitated ladies in a semi-private room and the lady in "B" bed died one...

  11. Generational Differences: kindly share your opinion/experience

    weesyanne replied to yuuki's topic in General Nursing

    i keep getting an error message that my message isn't long enough. i hope by typing this sentence that it will go

  12. BSN vs. ADN income disparity

    weesyanne replied to romie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most places I have worked pay little to nothing for a BSN over an ADN or diploma RN. A 30 cents per hour differential is actually a surprise to

  13. Name hospital and salary--everywhere

    weesyanne replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    New nurses where I work make $21.80/hour in Georgia. I have more than 20 years experience, won't mention my salary or workplace here. When I was a new nurse, I started out making

  14. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    weesyanne replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Commuter, I have been a nurse for over 20 years and got into really big trouble a few years ago for playing what was a practical joke on a fellow coworker.:trout: It happens to the best of us,...

  15. What's your holiday bonus?

    weesyanne replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    What's a holiday bonus? We will probably get a $25 gift card to a local grocery store and a free cafeteria meal whether we are working the holiday or not. That's the norm. At my last job, the...

  16. Lowest of the Low

    weesyanne replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    KristiBRN, RUN, don't walk, to another facility and apply for a job. You are risking your license by working in your current facility. They should never have put you in a charge nurse position since...

  17. Is night shift easier?.....

    weesyanne replied to RN1263's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The pace of nights is usually easier, but not always. I like it better because all the big wigs and higher ups are generally not around so that you are free to do your job without all the chaos that...
