    Lunch breaks and required phones

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to DeeAngel's topic in General Nursing

    I would not take my phone with me for the very reasons you state. If you want me to work through lunch all the time, I'm finding another job. Until the door is hitting me on the way out, you'll pay me...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to j_audrey's topic in General Students

    Sorry for the temporary sidetrack . . . . back on topic: Yes, yes and yes . . .. . especially to 1, 4, and 5. No education is ever wasted. Thanks

    :chuckle I would be happy if he were content to spend "only" $50 on a flashlight. At least it would be put to good use in a smoke filled building. Dh does computer support fot a hospital. I hardly...

    How are things with your home life while in school?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to j_audrey's topic in General Students

    Dh was generally very supportive. We would have bad stretches here and there, mostly when money was tight. He would look at the short term and get mad that he couldn't buy "toys" (i.e. pocketknives,...

    Something fun: What would you REALLY like to say to new PARENTS?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to BabyLady's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :chuckle:yeah: It is a different mindset though, isn't it? Kind of like the first time someone calls you Mrs. X after you get married and you look for your MIL over your

    The Circumcision Discussion

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    These were pretty much the same reasons we didn't get ds circumcised. It's not like we can let it grow back if he decides he wants

    Something fun: What would you REALLY like to say to new PARENTS?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to BabyLady's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe a copy of a "Commonly Misspelled Names" list can be attached to the form they fill out for the birth certificate . . . .

    Something fun: What would you REALLY like to say to new PARENTS?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to BabyLady's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To the nitpicky father in my childbirth class who wanted the exact chemical make-up and consistency of breastmilk, (and belittling the nurse teaching the class for not knowing this) the exact time...

    "Take care of my mom!"

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    People like this deserve to have their chains jerked. I would be so tempted if asked how mom was to be like "What? I don't know. I haven't seen her. I thought she went home with you. She hasn't...

    "Take care of my mom!"

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Probably b/c they think Grandma's with her family and that they are watching her. Also probably because the bed is paid for regardless of whether or not she's

    Giving Lantus insulin when patient is NPO

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to retiredlady's topic in General Nursing

    If they are on fluids w/D5 and will be NPO for a short time, I'll give it. Oh, and a pretty stable diabetic. If they're brittle, no way! Then I just rely in the

    Hospital broke contract and now wants ME to pay 20,000!

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to imalilteapott's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Also, your accountability has changed along with your scope of practice now that you are a RN. Even though you wouldn't be working as a RN, you will still be held to those standards rather...

    When a difficult friend becomes a difficult patient.. (long) help!

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to chapsticknurse's topic in General Nursing

    This pretty much sums it up. I'm not going to repeat all the good advice in previous posts. Just do what you can. Also, I would be wondering if she was actually diagnosed with cervical CA given...

    How do you work with the "SUPERNURSE"!!!

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to akrn70's topic in General Nursing

    We do, but most of the house supervisors worked with the "problem children" at one time or another, so it wouln't and doesn't get very far. They also just don't give a crap as long as it keeps them...

    Do you work on my floor? With the same people I do?

    I am 39 years old. I am a convicted felon, still on parole. I want to be a nurse.

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to donnahaith1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would check with your state BON before beginning a program. Give them specifics. It would really be the pits to put the time and money into a program only to find out you won't be able to sit for...

    Pennsylvania Lawmakers Consider Nurse-Patient Ratio Legislation

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to geekgolightly's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    My gripe is that SEIU is trying to make the numbers cut and dried, black and white. The objective of ancilarry staff is not being addressed. Yes, I may only have five patients, but there's no aide,...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to beatriceb321's topic in General Nursing

    He wants you to get a job at a doctor's office. The doctor's office is where my kids always get sick. Ds just got over a 10 day case of the flu he caught from someone at the office. It wasn't...

    Beer in the morning?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Does this person regularly work nightshift? 9a to her may be like the rest of the world's 9p. That being said, BYOB snowboarding (with other drinks in addition) seems excessive to me. It also seems...

    Mixing working and breastfeeding

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree with other posters. The smokers always seem to get their smoke breaks, so I wouldn't sweat it. If someone gives you a problem, I would point that out. Just don't forget to return the...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    What shifts will you be working? I know 3-11 is one of the more hectic times on the floor where I work. Try to avoid the crazy shifts. Two fifteen minute breaks isn't unreasonable at all. I...
