  1. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    backatit2 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    umm, that particular statement in no way implies that, but okie

  2. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    backatit2 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    that's what i was referring to. what else is "the majority of us are LPNs that have been here awhile" supposed to imply? what was the point of that statement? to ME it says, "one of us should be in...

  3. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    what do you mean when the patient is already on oral pain meds? oral pain meds is what i have been talking about (tablets). i'm

  4. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    no, i wasn't on any anxiety medication. i think because my husband was there with me the whole time, it was probably assumed (and rightfully so - sorta) that if anything was wrong, they'd be alerted....

  5. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    if 75% (or even more - that's being generous) of the engineers agreed with your opinion rather than their fellow enginners - i'd think those engineers might need to re-assess their strategy - jmo.

  6. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    :::sigh:: i hope i'll not say this again. if you have significant pain and are more active than the average c-section patient, i DO think it's safe to assume you'll need pain meds again within 24-48...

  7. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    I agree and that makes sense. However, after reflecting on the situation (and as I mentioned earlier) I was flat out asked if I did drugs while I was pregnant because they couldn't figure out what was...

  8. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    did you mean to say incorrect or correct? nevermind! i re-read, sorry! once again, just to clarify, i didn't request "bring me medication every 4 hours around the clock." rather, when i asked, "can...

  9. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    backatit2 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    i think that's irrelevant. in THIS scenario, the unit isn't primarily RN's, yet the LPN's feel that they are "fit for the job" and they may well be IF the job were based on EXPERIENCE. unfortunately...

  10. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    "there has been a lot of interesting information/opinions shared imo - even if they are wrong." :) since when do you need a degree in nursing to have the opinion that someone's opinion is wrong....

  11. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    i did mention, but it's a long thread. :) (that's me being flattered, btw) just kidding. anyhow, i was discharged after 2 days and got my own prescription from the pharmacy, and did stay in an empty...

  12. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Yeah, the prescriptions I've had that say that were in a bottle from the pharmacy, and I would assume the "or as needed" or even without the "or" meant later rather than sooner. The only time...

  13. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    I get your point. It was frustrating for me when my husband had legit pain and was told to take benadryl, yet I told the doctor I was having sharp pains (not constant by any means) and I get some home...

  14. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Incase I was flattered? That is HYSTERICAL! Please, tell me WHERE you came up with THAT! The ones I "personally disagree with" just so happen to be the ones with the most unpopular theory (read: most...

  15. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Could it be bc the drug addicts have a high tolerance? I've known people who have taken narcotics for recreational use and took more on a regular day than I'd ever dream of taking or ever DID take...

  16. Want to keep my pride. . . Please Advise

    backatit2 replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I would approach it semi-casually. You said you are a tight-knit group and he knows you well or well enough. I would call and just say, "Hey, you know we were talking about the staff...

  17. Can I start over with my grades?

    backatit2 replied to sincerebliss's topic in General Nursing

    That's a tough life lesson. When I was young and dumb, I had quit going to college for a year and defaulted on my student loans also. It's kind of funny now because I ALWAYS pay everything on time if...

  18. Do male RN's have any business learning sonography?

    backatit2 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it would be a problem - and especially if you work for a male OBGYN or a practice where there are mostly males. I know very few women who intentionally seek out female OBGYN's because...

  19. Want to keep my pride. . . Please Advise

    backatit2 replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, you should approach him privately and let him know. All he can do is say NO and IF he does - it'll give you the opportunity to ask WHY. He may have a very valid reason. I had a job once that...

  20. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    just because everyone hasn't "come around" to your point of view doesn't mean we're at "square one." there has been a lot of interesting information/opinions shared IMO - even if they ARE wrong.

  21. Taking picture of patient?

    backatit2 replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think it's that big of a deal. i personally have never cared for getting my pic taken with celebrities, but many people do - obviously. i asked my doctor and the nurses that cared for me in...

  22. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    i thought it was silly to begin with, but wanted to know what the reason for the silliness might be. had there been some strict, unavoidable reason for it - i may have changed my mind. i didn't change...

  23. Vent

    backatit2 replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    This is true. In my experiences with hospital stays, the nurses are the ones who kept me calm and eased my mind when I was embarrassed to death about needing to vomit or help with a bloody mess. I...

  24. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    This is true. I'm typically a straight forward person who has no problem speaking up under most circumstances, but as I've stated - I just thought it would make it "easier" on the nurse basically. It...

  25. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    backatit2 replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    it would be reaaally frustrating as the student to know 1 question "broke" you. however, in my experience, if something was questionable about a response i gave or whatever the case - i think the...
